any good?

I found it to be chaotic and very unforgiving lol.

It's a great game so long as you get used to that handling. It's a bit weird and hard to master but the game can flow really well at times, other's not so great, I think it depends on the track layout. It's just not consistent, you'll have a really good race one moment and a frustrating one the next, at least that's my experience with it.

It went quite cheap quickly in the supermarkets (£25 in morrisons after being out for just 3/4 weeks) so snapped it up. A good racing game, like others have said it's hard and unforgiving, however stick with it and you will like it.

Problems though...

No tutorial so to speak - check youtube vids for help with drifting if need be.
It is inconsistent (like said above) - 1 race will be easy, next really hard.
Online - er...there is none...well, there is...it's just that the game seem glitched and it won't find anyone to race against (they're meant to be patching it, might already have done so as I haven't played it in a few weeks due to other games).
No side view when racing - as in you can only look behind and not rotate the camera around, not a big thing, but would have been nice to do so as the city and visuals are spot on.

It's quite an addictive game and better than a lot of the other recent ridge racers, but there are bugs.

its ridge racer in name only, tbh i bought it, hated it and traded it..

i still play rr6 on 360 which is a great game

i may get the new dirt title but not for £40

maybe when its on offer

Ridge Racer 6 is brilliant can pick it up so cheap now as well.

i paid a quid for a copy in good condition

[Hardstyler]

I like unbounded

Sometimes it's better to change the format of a game series and this one works... Some people just don't like change

I think it's really good other than the handling but once u stick with it and know the tracks u get used to it

[2Dshmuplover]

In honesty I would much prefer a true Ridge Racer game but Namco seem unable to take Ridge to the next level where it needs to be.

I bought it upon release and wish I hadent of bothered.

The first psx game was much better and if I want to play a game like rebound ill play Burnout Revenge as its essentially the same thing.

[bob2005]

To be honest how far can you actually take the series there's so much competition out there that it's difficult to compete with the Burnouts and Need for Speeds. I really enjoyed both games as an alternative to the others.

They really ruined the game doing Paradise it was the worst sequel ever made. Should of made it like Revenge. Why do companies always have to go through the GTA route.

[bob2005]

Revenge easily the best of the Burnout series still play it over any other Burnout game to be honest.

I was playing it this morning. My fav is when you have to total cars to get money while driving.

Alough the mind boggles how they could class the game suitable for a 3 year old.

Had a look town toady and see a CEX stroe has opened up. How convenient! Asides from shop smelling like stale urine the shelves were packed to brim with 360 games. Managed to pick up Ridge Racer 6 for under £5 in VGC too, pretty good considering it's age. Not played it in a couple of years so it'll be nice to refresh myself and compare it to Unbounded, just for laughs.

[bob2005]

CEX stores are always worth a look, usually find a few bargains lying around.

[2Dshmuplover]

They even had a copy of Tales of Vesperia in seemingly great condition but it was marked up for £40. Not too bad considering what it can go for.

I think this new CEX is gonna kill out our local Gamestation and Game stores, my town is not big enough to have all these stores competing (including HMV) all within a 100 yeards or so of each other and since Game/Gamestation make most of their profit in preowned software it could spell trouble. It was very busy in CEX.

Just reading this means you live in kings lynn. im there too.

Got hooked on the demo round a mates on saturday, couldn't help thinking that the gameplay may become tedious over time, is this the case with those of you that have played the full game?

[Flawed-Tactics]

Played the demo on the PS3, it was fun for 5 minutes then I thought... what am I doing! Buy it really really cheap, they churn out these nitro-fuelled chase and destroy racers like they're on a production line.

Nice one, yep. They've got a lot of stuff in there, prices not exactly brilliant, but ok. I think they must have low trade in standards as some of the handhelds they had in the window were scratched to hell, they had a kinect there too that looked like it had been used as a sanding block.

Im popping in today. Will have to see what DVDs they have in stock.

Bought this game new, wish I hadn't. If you love Ridge Racer and "classic" Burnout you'll hate this.

[stefmeister]

I played it at a friends & thought it was the worst, most boring driving game I'd ever played.

I agree with what these guys say about it:
