I was speaking in comparison to FlatOut, where hitting things like crates or tools or whatever else is strewn across the track will significantly slow you down and might even bring you to a halt if you get it caught on your car in an awkward way.

You can catch other cars in the explosion created when you destroy these objects. It's a great way to eliminate the pack if you're in the middle of them.

My main problem with the game I guess is that it still handles like Ridge Racer. So, if you love Ridge Racer, you'll probably dig this game. I just happen to be over it.

On Ridge Racer 6 one time, I read a corner completely wrong and power-slid right instead of left. Just a dyslexic moment, I guess. Even with my car noise pointing nowhere near the road, the game slingshoted me perfectly around the corner, although once the slide was over I still lost a little speed by bouncing off the wall. If Unbounded doesn't do that, it doesn't handle like modern-day Ridge Racer.

I saw the GiantBomb QL and it didn't seem like RR to me. RR has this sort of 'predetermined drift'. This game seemed like S/S right down to the handling (turning seems to be a little unintuitive and you have to fool around with it for a while).

Whether one is better than the other is another issue.
