Ridge Racer DS

"...it's beset on all sides by problems. The course design lacks variation and is too restrictive with no room for error; error which is piled on regardless courtesy of poor collision detection, awkward controls, and an unreasonable difficulty curve that slopes too far upwards too soon - regardless of whether you have less trouble with the drifting mechanics than we did. Racing games, particularly quick-fix arcade racing games, shouldn't be this frustrating, and no game should ever kill you off with design failings more than it knocks you back when your skills are in question."

"Ridge Racer DS's awkward driving and collision model feel very dated by today's standards."

"If you're going for cosmetics then there's no doubting Gameloft with Asphalt Urban is the only choice but if it's a well conceived and ultimately more satisfying experience then you'll find this Namco racer still holds its own in almost every department."
