Definitely the better ridge racer 6. It definitely the better out of the hd series it's got more content more customisation and more polish. It does lose a little of the rr Namco style with the HUD and menus. It goes for a more traditional sleek ps3 look which is more functional in the familiar. Ditches the progression system of previous and adds customisation which is semi decent for RR. Physics feel better the graphics (being one of the very few ps3 games that run at native 1080p) colour pallet also gets updated that looks better imo. Loads are decent after installing the game which you get to play an old Namco game while installing is cool. Music is nicer imo than 6. All round just fine for the ending of the series I enjoy the last track being a callback to the very first track in all of ridge racer. Definitely feel like this series got stuck in its past a little to hard for both good and bad. The market definitely saw love and light in grab Turismo and Forza for the Sim craze or need for speed and burnout were peaking in the arcade genre. Ridge racer just didn't adapt the new stuff at all and since the series never had license cars there's no interest from most majority racing gamers out there. Which is sad I do wanna see more from this series cause core ridge racer is solid and easily the most fun thing about it is the driving model and drifting which has been adapted into many a racing games nowadays with nearly all NFS and Mario kart. Unbounded is a cool spin off I may beat but for now. I'll let her rest
