Ridge Racer DS is an arcade-style racing game in which you’ll take the controls of a generic sports car to battle it out with 11 opponents. Incidentally, each of your opponents starts the race with a significant head start. Naturally, the goal is to be the first one across the finish line.

Ridge Racer DS places the same emphasis on powersliding around sharp corners as previous entries in the series, and how successfully you accomplish a powerslide will almost certainly be determined--at least initially--by which of the game’s three control schemes you’ve opted for.


Features

Many of the circuits in Ridge Racer DS are taken from previous games, and, as such, you’ll often find that the same stretches of track appear in multiple courses. You’ll know exactly what to expect from all the circuits if you’ve ever played a Ridge Racer game before. So plan on anticipating lots of bridges and tunnels, roads that are cut into the sides of cliffs, sharp turns that can only be negotiated at speed when sliding, and, of course, helicopters that fly overhead every now and then. The soundtrack will also be familiar to fans of the series, and you’ll have the option to select your favorite track as you sit on the starting grid while waiting for the green light to start each race.

The single-player modes of play on offer in Ridge Racer DS include quick race, grand prix (a series’ of three races), time attack, and car attack, where you’ll go head-to-head with cars that you’ve unlocked in the grand prix mode in an attempt to add them to your garage. It’s also worth mentioning that you can totally customize the color of your car before each race by simply sliding a bar along a color chart. We found that the car hood camera is the easiest one to use when playing, so changing the color of our car was pointless. However, the option to change your car’s color should definitely make things a little more interesting for multiplayer races.
