It's not all that bad, it's fun so how bad could it be?

I didn't like this game the first time I played it. I didn't play it until it had been out for quite some time (way after Mario Kart DS was released). I bought it used at Game Stop just to see what it was like, and I said, Eck! I hate this game. I haven't liked this series since Ridge Racer R4.

I just picked it up again at the same store for $8 bucks and let me tell ya, I'm happy with it this time. I don't know if it was the price or what, but I love this game now. It provides a great, fun challenging experiece that is widely understated most of the time. It just feels good to have a portable racing game that's this fast and exciting. The graphics are bright and colorful and move at a fast pace even with about 4 or 5 cars on-screen, that's rare but it happens.

I recommend this game to you if you're looking for another fast paced racing game outside of Mario Kart DS. Other racing games such as Need For Speed Underground 2 or Asphalt: Urban GT for example aren't as fun to play as RR. Trust me I've played both.

So, look for it at your local game shop used. That way, if you don't really like it you can get your money back.

    The game was fun while it lasted. The cars were good but could have been better. The sound was just like any other car game. The multiplayer wasn't very good. It would have been better if you could use any car that you h... Read Full Review
