![]() ![]() For one, it’s the first proper RR game to come out since Ridge Racer 7, released for the PS3 in 2006. ![]() There are a couple of things that make Ridge Racer Unbounded a special release. Since then I’ve been a big fan of the series. The first RR title I played was Rage Racer, released in 1996 and also for the PSone. But despite that being the case, there are few series as aged as Ridge Racer, with its first title having been released in 1994 for the PSone. Sameer is the cofounder of IndianVideoGamer.Like first-person shooters, racing games are a dime a dozen. What we didn’t: May disappoint Ridge Racer fans, some tracks aren’t drift-friendly. Score: 3.5/5 What we liked: Drifting requires skill, track variety, track creator, destruction, no-nonsense career mode. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a great game on its own, with lots of destruction, intense gameplay and tons of content. In fact, the very design of the game goes against Ridge Racer’s style of gameplay. Unbounded isn’t the Ridge Racer game you expected. The game also includes a track creator, through which you can create your own tracks and share them with the world, and try tracks created by others. That said, the tracks are ripe for some extremely hectic and destructive races. ![]() However, the tracks always feel a little to constricted for Ridge Racer’s style of drift gameplay, so the opportunities where you can pull off long drifts are few and far between. Tracks are well designed with a lot of destructible elements. Finally, there’s the Frag Attack, where you’re handed an 18-wheeler and tasked with taking out as many cop cars as you can. In another time trial event, pick-ups strewn across the track help add time extensions to the clock. The two Shindo events are classic Ridge Racer – one a straight-up time trial where holding drifts stops the clock from counting down, and the other drift-happy race events with Frags disabled. Events in Unbounded include Domination, which is a standard race with the ability to Frag or takedown opponents ala Burnout. ![]()
