It's the best Ridge Racer yet... If all you're looking for is a fast, fun, and highly replayable racer, you're getting a solid, full-featured package in Ridge Racer 6.

Realistically, very little of the series’ gameplay dynamics were changed for Ridge Racer 6. The nitrous system is an evolved form of the one found in the PSP version, but beyond that, it is still a good old-fashioned Ridge Racer at heart....read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at eToychest

Graphically impressive and a lot of fun to play, but has stiff competition from the system’s more glorified racers like "Project Gotham Racing 3" and "Need for Speed: Most Wanted." Basically, Ridge Racer 6 comes in third place....read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at Xbox 360 Advanced
It's mostly as an online game, which I have been enjoying quite a bit. Unfortunately, in order to unlock cars and tracks, I have to run through a somewhat boring single player game. I say boring because it's too easy....read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at Next Level Gaming
over 200+ races could take over 30hrs to finish 100%, while the online time trial scoreboards and Xbox Live play means you get plenty for your money even if the game could have done with a few more tracks. 7.5Overall:...read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at PALGN

It’s honestly quite hard to recommend the game over the likes of PGR3 or NFS: MW, but RR6 still does some things right and provides a reasonably good online experience for a good amount of racers at once....read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at Gaming Target
There’s a ridiculous amount of replayability and for those looking for a good deal in the length department you won’t be disappointed. Honestly it does grow on you and can turn out to be a great purchase or rental if look past all its many...read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at GameBrink

the simple mechanics and pure adrenaline-fuelled racing. Graphically, Ridge Racer is no slouch either; while not up to the standard set by Project Gotham Racing 3, nobody was expecting that from an obviously less serious racer, but it does certainly do th...read the complete Ridge Racer 6 review at Gamestyle
