While the game features very similar courses to that of RR6 it also features some additional ones and the way you unlock items in this version is great. Cars are spectacular and unlike previous RR games you can customize your car with various body parts, motors, nitrous elements, handling, decals, paint, and much more to improve your cars. You can also unlock already tuned full machines that cannot be customized with certain parts. One of the cool things about the customization feature is the plug-in you acquire. There are plug-ins for giving you say an automatic rocket start and much more. Overall the graphics are on par if not a bit better then on RR6 for the 360. The cars seem smoother and more detailed as do the tracks and environments. You won't be disappointed. The car handling seems a bit tighter too and seems smoother then RR6. Basically the controls in the game are spot on. The difficulty level can be somewhat high in the later stages of the Ridge State Grand Prix. Specifically there are a couple of duels that seem next to impossible unless your race is flawless. I wish this could be tweaked somewhat as it makes it hard to get back in the saddle id you aren't racing every day.
All in all though this is a superb game and I hope they make a sequel for the PS3. Be sure to download the events from the PS store, as they are free.
