#RIDGE RACER PS VITA ALL CARS DRIVER#

No matter how good a driver you are your car just isn’t fast enough until you’ve started level grinding it through hours of beginner level racing (and remember, there’s only three tracks by default).At least in Call Of Duty you can hope to get a lucky shot in with an inferior weapon, but unless an opponent makes a mistake in Ridge Racer you have no chance at all.And we’re not joking when we say there’s no single-player. If you’ve only just started it is physically impossible to win a race against a more experienced player. The problem is none of the three teams have any kind of identifiable personality or branding and there doesn’t seem to be any reward for being number one, other than Internet kudos.There is a role-playing style levelling system to work your way through, but this has a pretty obvious problem in a racing game – and one that Namco doesn’t seem to have considered at all. The idea is you’re supposed to do all you can to make sure your team is on top worldwide, with the game making you aware of transitory alliances or special daily challenges.It’s not really a new idea in gaming but in theory it’s an interesting idea and is certainly unusual for a Ridge Racer title. There’s no fundamental difference between any of them but whoever you pick you’re stuck with, as all the points you subsequently earn in races are then added to a global total. This isn’t an acknowledgement that it’s just the same old game as ever, but the fact that there essentially is no single-player mode and just three tracks and five cars.The game does attempt to plump out its cushions a little, with the conceit that you’re meant to start the game by choosing one of four sponsors. At no point does this PS Vita game try to change or add anything, but there is a fundamental difference to how it’s sold.If you look down at the game’s price, at the bottom of the page, you’ll see it’s listed at just £19.99, which means around £15 in most stores.

Although this outing for the PS Vita feels it was probably just daysâ¦Ridge Racer is a great game, the original coin-op was a seminal arcade racer and its ultra simplistic handling and outrageous powerslides are as entertaining today as they ever were. There’s so little difference between any of the titles, in terms of basic content and gameplay, that they must now be able to slap them together in a matter of weeks. It’s not hard to understand why either, at least from Namco’s point of view. It’s not just new Sony consoles that always launch with a new Ridge Racer, nowadays everyone has to get in on the act – from the 3DS to the Xbox 360.
