true, but what is the real crime here though, if you have RR6 then dont buy it? all i suggest is that people should not be surprised that its on a par with the 360 version!

The race layout on this one actually sounds better, there is a issue of too much content.
rr6 had to many races on to few tracks this sounds like a fair tradeoff.

It's oke. You can't help it that you where born there. ;p

So another let down for PS3 then, ohwell it's to be expected isn't it...

Someone should really put a lock on your cave door. :/

"However, EG's review is wrong because RR6 on the 360 does not use ANY anti-aliasing at all hence the reason I mentioned it looked jaggy in the first place. It was a launch Xbox 360 game (in the US anyway) and running at 60 fps so I guess the AA was sacrificed for the framerate. Many launch 360 games lacked anti-aliasing, e.g. Call of Duty 2, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, etc."

Which is funny because they look better than many of the new titles. I hate lots of AA, just makes things look blurred - should always be optional.

GoW 8/10
RR7 7/10

That doesn't smell funny, that just stinks.

What does RR7 better than RR6 (or RR5...)???

I've played loads of RR6 and while it's not as "good looking" as PGR3 for example, the smooth framerate and slick arcade gameplay make up for it. PGR3 is better of course.

Anyway, Looks like BS3 has yet another INFERIOR version of a multiformat game to it's name (and a sequel at that, should have been better by default).

Luckily I bought RR6 a few months ago second hand for about 15€ or something. Never played it (because I have to finish a lot of other games first). But this review certainly makes me want to play RR6 right now. Too bad I'm off to nightshift.

Hmmm, sounds inyeresting, maybe I'll go buy it tomorrow then. Hang on, somethings missing... oh right of course, the European release of the PS3. Guess I'll put it off untill March then.
Why put up a review of a game not released for another 4 months (at the earliest)?. You're just setting yourself up for some fanboy to imply you're helping Sony in trying to take the focus off the Nintendo Wii and 360 (which actually 'will' be available here) this holiday season, which of course would'nt be true.

I'm not sure if I'm mis-reading your post, or you mis-read mine. You don't think me a PS3whore do you? I certainly won't be shelling out that sort of money for a games console any time soon. Also, I have a 360 already, and the PS3 looks to be offering nothing different in comparison to justify a second console purchase.

hmmm... What pain?

Oh right. I see. The XBox360 really is your life. No wonder you're expecting everyone else to take it so personal.

Seriously, get laid. You don't know what you're missing.

Ladies please! Put your claws away - it's only another PS3 port - nothing worth fighting over!

In fact, in terms of console exclusives at launch

360: Condemned, Amped 3, PGR3, COD2, Quake 4, Kameo, RR6 + another 11 cross platfroms
PS3: Resistance, Gundam, Genji, Untold Legends + 9 cross platfroms (sorry RR7 included in that based on the review)

i.e. one game worth buying the PS3 for at launch and at least 4-5 on the 360 at launch

And to think all those PStuds slammed the 360 for a mediocre launch library devoid of decent exclusives ;)

Didn't MS claim best launch lineup ever?

That's why I was so heavily comparing their launch to the dreamcast only to be disappointed in that sense.

Adam, you really are a tit aren't you?

you've never got anything constructive to say, just anti Sony bile...

really, your a sad, lonely man who needs to get out a bit more...

being a fanboy isn't good for you, it will turn you into a social pariah and you'll be shunned by all your mates... or is your real name Billy?

I suggest a healthy dose of alcohol any anything poisonous you can find in the cupboard...

If you want to be taken seriously start taking a balanced approach to things, because the more you bleat on about how great Microsoft are, how excellent the 360 is, people will mistaken you for either 1) a troll or 2) a piece of viral internet marketing by MS...

alternatively just keep spouting the same shit and soon you'll be on everybodies ignore list (probably your own too!)

I (think) the only time I played a Ridge Racer game was about ten years ago on a friends PS1 (could it be?).

I've certainly never played Ridge Racer 7, but I think the reviewer is a to55er for giving this game a 7.

I mean, come on guys! A se7en!!!

How is this a let down for the PS3? If you mean because it's a PS3 game then no not really only draw back this would have for the PS3 is if it was the only racer on the console say 6 months from launch. This is more of a disapointment in the series than anything else. I ask this, was RR6 score a reflection of the Xbox360 hardware?

This got a 7 as the as many of the aspects of this was essentially taken directly from RR6 which got a 8. I guess if your thinkin along that line then yes a 7 is to be expected.

You need to stop being so obvious in your statment, really you need to think harder... Go ahead try, come on you can do it.

Don't get your hopes up mate - I've finished the World Explorer of RR6 and the gits only given me about 350 achievements.

I think I can add this to my list of "Why do Japanese developers.."

Why do Japanese developers make achievements so bloody stupidly measily hard to unlock?

@Mapster - EA didn't publish Tony Hawk's Project 8, Activision did and it was Neversoft that actually wrote the game.

And the Xbox 360 has plenty of framerate issues, believe me, and is apparently running at upscaled 600p so it doesn't surprise me that the PS3 game does also. Although it's a very good game, it's clearly not being optimised properly, likely due to it being rushed out for Christmas.

I never said you made a spelling mistake, just to stop criticising others for it...

So yes a sequal

That is a spelling mistake however...

Just teasing, calm down...

Sony-only gamers "thing" is to wait. Last year they said: "oh you'll see what's next-gen is all about, Nov/2006", now "lets wait one more year". Man! you guys are so late to the party.

Once again; your article starts off with the words 'me', 'me' and 'my'. Please, stop telling us about yourself and start telling us about the game from the off.

Thanks.

@ AdamOfEternia

Thats just it none of the short comings of this game can be attributed to the PS3's hardware so how can you say it's a let down for the PS3. Thats statment to hold true for any an every game that gets a low score on any console then right? Then again that statment is way too general to even debate so mind narrowin it down abit for us?

The specs didn't cause thie game to get a 7 did it AdamOfEternia?

It's a launch title it got a 7 (Which is still a good score) but thats as far as it goes really. The Xbox360 has had some real bombs at launch like GUN and PDZ but these really weren't to be blamed on the Xbox360 itself now where they?

Is it just me who sees a flaw in the logic of comparing PS3 launch titles to 360 launch titles?Just how much more development time have the PS3 launch games had over most of the 360's first batch?I mean this console was supposed to hit our shores months ago,with most of the blame for the delay being focused on the manufacturing of Blu-Ray drives,surely these development teams have been given quite a bit of extra time to get things up to scratch by now,with much less pressure earlier in the year to get things finished by a certain date.
