Ridge Racer 3D test on nintendo 3DS

Ridge Racer, it needs no introduction. All racing fans frantic and long skids know that this series is legendary in his field. Since his arrival on the arcade (and Playstation), there are over 15 years, she has always represented the epitome of the game that thrives on adrenaline, without dwelling on the pure realism like a Forza Motorsport . Already, if you love shopping in managing every detail, changing the suspension or the type of tires on your vehicle, go your way, you're obviously lost.
One of the new features of this episode is obviously the 3D effect. Even if the perception of each depends, we must admit that a type of game as swift necessarily demand an adjustment period non-negligible. However, the effect is rather well made and one of the games line-up Release 3DS, Ridge Racer is probably one of the most enjoyable to watch in 3D, especially as the effect remains app. Surely you will not feel as cars pop off the screen, but it's enough to surprise the typical person and give an impression of depth. Feelings aside, no doubt, the drift is always in the spotlight and we will not complain. The principle has not changed one iota. Starting in last place, the player must raise its competitors in races where the brake button is just to look pretty. Each turn must be taken into slip which not only not to lose speed, but also to fill a gauge of nitro. The latter has several power levels, which can be released independently. If you have a small straight before you, you will not use a level while in the case of a long boulevard, empty all your gauges at once seems like a good idea.
Of course, all the interest is in the management of turns and the steering / lock and cons necessary for good handling. At full speed, you quickly find yourself in the wall, even if we admit that this is not very serious either. This is an arcade game, every mistake is not really sanctioned by resounding failure on the finish line. So much the better for that matter, because in the case of Ridge Racer, we will retain only the pleasure of play, however, it must be said that learning the circuits you will necessarily make good time because it is not always easy to guess the next curve, even with the presence of a Mini-map. Concerning theIAWe do not expect miracles and we can not say we're surprised. Vehicles after adverse quietly going without paying attention to what you do, no matter if you are quietly taking advantage of the suction effect behind them in full straight line. In short, it is not by his gameplay that the new Ridge Racer revolutionize the series, but we suspected a bit actually.
