 Driftin' on July 13, 2008
Duncan McDonald (Dundee)
The first thing you will notice with this game is that it handles differently to your usual racer. Awkward at first!
This game is all about drifting, rather sliding your car around a course like rallying on tarmac. You are aided by nitro boosts that charge up as you slide. As a result the fantasy cars handle oddly like driving on ice until you get the swing of drifting which is when the fun starts.
Plenty fantasy style courses and graphics are superb. Music is typical japanese techno but you can turn it off. The single player mode is quite tough as you progress through a matrix of events. Many will need repeat. On-line is fun though and this is the better mode of play.
Not everyones cup of tea but if you like drifting games they don't come better than this
 360 realism at it's best! February 20, 2007

TAKE NOTE:
Before i continue my review i must stress that this may not be as good on a different platform (if it was on one) because one of the best parts of the game are the graphics.

This is surely one of the best car games that i have ever played on. Graphics are superb, handling is realistic and crazy combined and the tracks are magnificent.
One of the best features on this game is the handling of the cars. I have heard people saying that you can't drift on ridge racer. On ridge racer 6 that certainly isn't the case. Woah you can drift. Cars even have different levels of drift capabilitys!
Whats more is that there are SO MANY RACES to be completed. This is a GREAT game! A must for all 360 owners it's just a shame that it isn't on any other consoles!
 Still handles like RR1 - WHY?! January 25, 2007

Drifting was something of a USP on Ridge Racer when it first came out - good anticipation on Capcom's part. And I am old enough to have played (and enjoyed) the RR series on PS1. However, a real flaw with the RR drift style is that it just fishtails all over the track rather than giving you true drifting control through corners. And drifting is not the quickest route around a track, so why bother? Since RR, lots of games have developed driving dynamics to include drifting - recently, think of PGR or GT Pro Series on the Wii. Take GT Pro Series - a technically and graphically far inferior game to RR6 and yet, the drifting style is both controllable and fun. RR has the looks, but that's it. Capcom lost their way after Rage Racer -- I would suggest you avoid it. No longevity, no challenge, no fun and no gameplay improvement since 1996.
not exactly thrilling December 4, 2006

This is the first of the Ridge Racer games that i've played, and i gotta say, i'm less than impressed.
The big problem with this game is that there is no real difference between the tracks or the cars. Once you've been able to complete the first dozen or so tracks you'll not have any real difficulty in beating all the other tracks, as they're identical (exept some are done in reverse).
The challenge just isnt there; once you've mastered the drifting its pretty easy to win. And when you 'win' new cars the cut-scenes are identical, except for the colours of the vehicle. The cars themselves dont really have any idiosyncracies, so any vehicle in the same class will behave identically as the others.
Overall this just seems to be a game that had more tracks added to it to make it seem more than it actually is as the fun or challenge is definitely missing. One to avoid unless your a masochist.
