Create the ultimate ride
The classic drift racing game returns to the PlayStation brand in style and with loads of new customization features. In exterior creation mode, players can select, view, and apply body kits for almost any area of their car. Kits include lowers, lifts, airflow and even major body modification. Once the kits are applied, players can head to the paint and body shop to have their specific paint tone applied as the backdrop for their killer custom decals. If you're ride still isn't hot enough, consider adding some wheels from the wheel shop for that extra bit of style.

If exteriors aren't your thing, then consider fine tuning the handing. Customizable Handling mode allows you to tweak cornering performance by adjusting tire pressure and suspension to your chosen settings. Feel the turns with sport suspension or soften the landings with something more touring oriented. Either way, you can pick just the right feel for your favorite track, rival racer, or experience level.

Nitrous boosts have always been a central part to any racers' strategy, but before Ridge Racer 7 there wasn't any control over the type or amount of gas. Now, you have total control over such minutiae as the number of tanks, charge rate, even total boost limit. If you prefer to have more control over nitrous while racing, consider the new "flex nitrous," which can be turned off or on at the driver's discretion.

Improved cars, improved performance
A wide range of sports cars are available in Ridge Racer, with over 40 to choose from. Including the customization options listed above, each car has over 200,000 variations in terms of control and appearance. Debuting in this title are two impressive sportsters: the Centellee and the Magnifico. The Centellee from Terrazi Motors blasts off the line with a 4000cc V8 engine and has an unbelievable top speed of just over 210 mph. Not to skimp on looks, the body of the Centellee is hand-crafted and recreated perfectly on-screen.

Another other welcome addition to the Ridge Racer family is the Magnifico, known the world round for its unmatched luxurious interior. One of the new generation of light bodied sports cars, the Magnifico can ramp up to 178 mph via a 2000cc 4-cyvlinder inline engine.

On the track, the cars still accelerate and drift in that quintessential Ridge Racer arcade style. Large, sliding turns and short bursts of air are the name of the game as you speed past your opponents in a blur of color. The track count for this installment has been pushed to an astonishing 44- more tracks than any any previous Ridge Racer title. The variety of locales is truly astounding, as you'll be racing by rushing waterfalls one minute and near the top of a snow-capped peak the next. The track layouts have something for every racing fan and style. Ridge Racer 7 grabs the PlayStation 3's processing power and doesn't let go. Running in 1080p high definition video at 60 frames per second, the courses look lusher, the tracks feel faster, and the cars look gorgeous.

- Ridge Racer 7
This game offers a all-new racing experience if you like movies like fast and the furious or games like Need for Speed or just plan racing then this game is for you.

Rating:

- awesome racing game !
ok here's the deal. this is obviously not a "sim" type of video game like some might say Gran Turismo is, but this game is a lot of fun, has good decent graphics and HAS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT A LOT OF OTHER RACING GAMES LACK, MAYBE I SHOULD SAY ALL OTHER RACING GAMES....
MULPITPLAYER MODE PEOPLE! AND I MEAN SPLIT SCREEN LOCAL MULTIPLAYER!

Rating:

- Way fun!
I just started playing this game two weeks ago. I love it. The cars you can play are awesome looking cars that don't exist in real life. I was not a racing fan until I played this game. It got me hooked. You can play people all over the world in the Online Battle to really test your true skills. You get the sense that you are a real world class racer! Try it out, you will see what I mean. However, don't get frustrated when you fail to unlock new cars. You just need to retry a couple of times. Stick with it, and you will get better beyond your imagination.

- RR7 so so
I'm not a pro gamer but have played this game enough to realize both advantages and limitations:
pros:
good scenery and car graphic detail
nice music even at beginning levels
innovative routes and drifting adds a nice touch

cons:
lacks realism, it feels the car is in autopilot at times
if you memorize the corners better than rivals you'll end up placing well no matter how skilled you are
cars look much better in preview then when the game is played(disappointing)

Rating:

- Weird physics. NOT a racing sim.
If you want something that is realistic, do not buy this game. I play Motorstorm frequently, and am a big fan of the Gran Turismo series. I love racing games. This was just a lot of weird drifting. Personally, I hated it.
