Ridge Racer DS

Review by luigistarted06

"A average game"

When the ds came out this was one of the games every one wanted. When the ds came out people rushed to the store and they got this game. When people came home they were mad that this game was boring and one of those people was me. This game was supposed to be good oh well on with the review.

Control 4
One of the reasons the game was so wanted. The big problem with the game is using the stylise. When you do try to use the stylise you will crash into the wall all the time. So then you try to control with other things like the joy pad and it is to lose you will just slip and slide. So overall you will crash using the stylise and joy pad.

Story line 6
To tell the truth there is none. What happens is you start out in your first race and as you race more you go on to the next race. So overall there is not a story line you just race.

Sound 6
The sound is ok I guess. The sound in the game is boring its just a few sounds and some some music thats kind of boring. So overall there is not much to say about sound other than limited amount of sound.

Graphics 7
This is the best part of the game. The graphics are smooth and polished in this game. There are many colors to choose from that you can make your car. The frame rate in this game is decent you always go at a fast pace and there is no slow down. The back-rounds in this game are nice but they look 2d. Overall the graphics are smooth you can paint your car many colors the frame rate is good and it has decent back-rounds.

Game play 7
Its fun racing. Now to the racing its fun as you pass cars and go down the road. The bad part only 3 styles of tracks you have city desert and waterfall not much to pick from. The type of racing is point to point as you try to get your time up. Overall big tracks as you pass cars. Its point to point racing also there are only a few tracks.

Replay value 6
Once you play these tracks again it is not as fun but its still ok. Its not that good on reply value.

Overall 6
It is just above average but game play was fun.

So should you rent or get it? I say rent it is just a rent.

Have fun gaming.
