ridge racer is OK. the cars are wimpy. from Cduniverse.com ridge racer is OK. the cars are wimpy. from Cduniverse.com

Pros: Decent framerate and solid gameplay.

Cons: Nothing terribly different from the N64 build, useless touchscreen controls.

The Bottom Line: Given a choice between a DS or a PSP Ridge Racer title, go for the PSP version. Ridge Racer DS is nothing more than a port with touchscreen support.

Cons: Controls lack. Sloppy collision detection. Old graphics and bad music/sound.

The Bottom Line: Ridge Racer DS is quite good for a port but does not stack up very well compared to newer DS racers.

The Bottom Line: Ridge Racer DS is quite good for a port but does not stack up very well compared to newer DS racers. from Shopping.com just too old school ridge racer is OK. the cars are wimpy. from Cduniverse.com just too old school ridge racer is OK. the cars are wimpy. from Cduniverse.com PSP proves that racing games finally can be playabl on a handheld. WIth the exception of Racing Gears Advance, no racing game in the gameboy lineup in general didn't give much racing fans to shout about. HEre's a great example on why racing games quickyl stopped for DS (mostly). Diddy Kong Racing was a good racing game, and that might be good for DS, but seriously, unlike certain games, racing games lot's of the time cant' exactly stand the test of time as well as classics like The Legend Of Zelda. from Amazon.com Well, I bought this game on sale at a GameStop and it came out to be a bit of a dissapointment. It just doesn't hold much water as a racing title. The handling is very loosey-goosey, which is fine in a way because it's an arcade racer, but this goes too far. Mario Kart DS is a much better choice and there really isn't a good racer besides that out for the system right now. from Amazon.com
