Getting catch by Ridge Racer visuals, recently bought the game, but... immediately disappointed with frustrating unitutive controls, lack of content and terrible frame rate (in about 15-20 for Xbox One).The music only one pros side, what sometimes bring up memories of good arcade racer, but it can't save totally unacceptable game without gameplay.It's not Ridge Racer. Not even a racer.Sorry. I want my money back...

It misses almost everything of what a good racing game should have today. The tracks are really boring and they all looks same. Technically it isn’t good enough to compete against other like Grid or OnRush. The resolution drastically scales down partially which looks like a glitch occurred by a bad Playstation port. The game doesn’t reach 60 fps at any time on PS4 Pro, but is between 40 and 50 fps with frequent drops (which is basically better than any of the latest Need for Speed titles). Although the gameplay feels clunky. This game isn’t polished enough and can’t basically provide me a good feel of racing which I would expect from such an arcade racer.

it looks absolutely godawful. even 20 years ago this would have been subpar. today it´s an absolute disgrace. in quality mode you get a slightit looks absolutely godawful. even 20 years ago this would have been subpar. today it´s an absolute disgrace. in quality mode you get a slight bumb in resolution but it turns the game into a slideshow and a blurry ugly mess because the devs had no clue how to implement motion blur instead everything is blurred. it´s an arcade racer but so of course you wouldn´t expect simulation levels of realism but hat you get here is just awful. theres no slingshot mechanics no drag or rubber banding theres nothing that makes this the slightest bit fun.

This kind of mimics the experience I had buying XGIII for the same price when I was a teenager; A surprisingly good game for a surprisingly cheap purchase. I wouldn't recommend picking up on the PSN at full price, though, as the hard copy is $20 compared to $40 on the PSN.I could do a pros and cons list, but honestly this game is pretty straightforward; It's all about drifting.The game operates on a dynamic of building up turbo boosts from drifting, which keeps the pace engaging and gets me trying really hard, making brash moves to push myself to catch up if I'm behind.As of writing this review, the PS4 version has been patched up multiple times with added vehicles and tracks, as well as some very notable differences from what I read in the other user reviews on here. Actually...I haven't had any issues with controller responsiveness other than maybe once or twice it didn't catch when I tried changing directions on a drift (which I adjusted my technique to consistently avoid after not long). Personally, I had zero issues getting used to turning in this game, given all racing games take a little adjustment to get used to tight turns on a track.I haven't noticed a bad frame rate, I can definitely see the turn indicators on the track, and you constantly have a mini-map in the corner to confirm your distance from where you should start drifting.I barely noticed the announcer's voice. He'll literally say like 1-3 words maybe a quarter-to-half of the time you pass someone out or hit something.Very random, but the Italian accent that only comes up when you win is kind of funny to me. ^.^;If the other reviews were actually accurate, they definitely listened and fixed it, as far as I can tell.I only have two particular complaints: 1. The time-out challenges can be unforgiving on the first marker.2. The enemy AI occasionally sabotages you if you're not careful. It can get ridiculous, but it only happens a small fraction of the time.So overall, would recommend, especially considering how the developers aren't exactly giants in the industry.Follow-up edit: Beat the main game after 4 days.I really have to admit that reading the professional reviews has me convinced none of these people actually know how the controls work. x.x It's not hard!Instructions for you all: Hit the gas. On an average turn, tap R2 and control your drift, which is adjustable in the garage, along with all sorts of other typical variables like handling, acceleration, etc... The only time you really need to lay off the gas is on tight turns. If you start and stop, THAT is why it seems difficult, as you can DEFINITELY maintain your speed around corners if you execute a mix of the normal slide (tap R2) and the handbrake (tap X repeatedly/as necessary to adjust while minimizing speed loss.) Then there's a boost button... that's it! Obviously if someone can't turn at the right moment and ram their car into a wall over and over again, it'd be pretty cheap to not penalize them for that, because you're not supposed to keep hitting the wall! Obviously!I have not once had my car reach max damage more than once in a race.You folks really need to try harder. -.-

Ce petit jeu de course indé qui ne casse pas trois roues à un canard à roulettes tente de jouer sur la fibre nostalgique des Ridge Racer etCe petit jeu de course indé qui ne casse pas trois roues à un canard à roulettes tente de jouer sur la fibre nostalgique des Ridge Racer et vise ceux qui regretteraient cette franchise (qui remonte aux années 90...!) de jeux de bagnoles ultra-arcade !Comme si on allait regretter ces jeux de merde qui étaient -on ne va pas se mentir- injouables et pensés et conçus en dépit de tout bon sens le plus élémentaire, même si le prétexte "arcade" a clairement bon dos, on s'en doute, pour justifier tout et... n'importe quoi. Surtout n'importe quoi en fait.C'est que comme dans ce "remake-hommage", on devait déraper en tapotant les freins ou le frein à main, ce qui s'avérait complètement aléatoire et totalement aberrant à l'usage même si ici ça se contrôle un peu mieux -lorsqu'on arrive à déraper, s'entend..! Donc, mêmes causes et mêmes effets et on s'emmerde bien vite et on s'irrite aussi tout aussi vite que jadis : Ridge Racer, c'est de la merde ! et pour l'éternité, oui, oui.Reconnaissons en tout cas une jolie réalisation et un 60 im/s parfait (optimisé pour la X) mais une musique qui tape sur les nerfs, hommage encore à la techno japonaise des Ridge ! c'est pour ça qu'on ira jusqu'à 2. Quand même, juste pour l'effort gâché hélas ; l'arcade, c'est aussi un minimum de jouabilité, quoi qu'on en dise !
