Ridge Racer 6
Platform: Xbox 360
Publisher: Namco
Review Type: Looky
Version: Screenshot
For me the appeal of straight-up racing sims has always been pretty elusive. Even so called "arcade-style" racers don't really do much for me unless, like Burnout 3: Takedown, they give me the ability to wreak some kind of havok. I'm guessing the appeal of more straight-laced racers like Grand Turismo 4 or Ridge Racer 6 is fantasy fulfillment. I'm just not one of those guys that dreams about driving fast cars through exotic locales. I'm the guy that dreams about a car with windows that don't fog up in the morning.
Two things I'm noticing about the new screens for the Xbox 360 version of Ridge Racer 6: The cars don't look too shiny. Also, the car sponsors are old-school arcade games like Pac-Man, Bosconian and Galaxian -- not the kind of thing that's gonna make a racing game really jump out at me, but it's a start.
