Ridge Racer 6

[JefmcC]

I prefer Burnout's repetitive fun to RR's. At any rate, both games are so cheap now, might as well pick up both if you must have them.

Like crashing into cars over and over and over?

Anyhow, Compass, you know who to listen to.

pretty explosions

Im not trying to influence anyone, just expressing an opinion (im the one who bumped this thread back up after months of dormancy)

Some thoughts:

Actually, for me its more of the feeling of speed you get when comparing the two, which is what Im looking for in a racing game, immersion. BO takes the cake. RR6 comes close with tier 3-4 cars, but not quite. It even goes over the top at the highest tier.

In BO I also like the faster pace of the races, the variety of gameplay. I also get feeling of urgency to win the race, (which just isnt there for me in RR6).

RR6 when you want to get all of the world explorer completed, just seems tedious and like you just have to slug your way through it. Whereas BO and PGR you have an end in sight and it seems acheivable. RR6 is good in short doses so you dont get bored.

I also like that you can finish races and move on in PGR and BO without having to win, and that there are different levels and times to acheive different targets. RR6 (the main game) you have to win 1st to move on, every time.

The drifting in BO and RR6 are both great. Neither one does wrong.

These arent baseless opinions, as Ive played through PGR, BO and Im close to being done with RR6, the only next gen racing series I cant compare to is Need for Speed


Anyways for me:

Graphics: PGR3> BO > RR6

Gameplay: BO > RR6 > PGR

Variety: BO > PGR > RR6 -fixed

Music: BO > PGR > RR6 (they all lose when you play your own)

If you go with just the sheer amount of content: RR6 > BO > PGR3





Plus I like crashing things

Variety: BO > RR6 > PGR

How so? RR has race, time trial, and... anything else? PGR has race, time trial, cone challenges, Kudos time clock, and eliminator, while BO has race, time trial, crash, eliminator, and Road Rage.

They're all good games, in any case. It's pretty much about whether you prefer direct competition, learning to drive well, or getting into a zone.

[D_N_G]

Your right, I cut and pasted that line to all of them and didnt swap that. should be BO> PGR > RR6

Almost finished w/ World Xplorer - I was happily surprised when the Special Route unlocked.

Basic Route didn't give me very much trouble. I used Standard drift types, as Dynamic was too touchy for me.

I'll be damned if I'm going to finish all the Single Race challenges. No-nitrous shouldn't be too bad, but no-collision's gonna be a pain, especially on the narrower tracks like Island Circle.

Is the slightest nick enough to cost you the race, or are they talking about full-on collisions? I haven't tried any of them yet but it would help to know in advance.

I got this off of Ebay for five dollars. A winner is me.

Expert isn't bad. Special is where it gets bad IIRC.

[J2d]

I had major problems with the third to last track I think, cheating bastards.

[StriderKyo]

Expert wasn't so bad. I've been stuck on special for over a month; I think alot of is because I only have 2 cars to choose between and one of them is one of those useless drift trucks.
