I was an avid fan of the Ridge Race PSP release back in 2004, so when I realized there was a Ridge Racer game on the 3DS I had to pick it up.
While I believe that Ridge Race 3D is graphically inferior to its PSP counterpart, even though it was released 7 years later and not taking into account the 3D effect available on a 3DS console, it appears to have more game modes and replayability. I have spent several hours with both games and feel that Ridge Racer 3D is just a more enjoyable experience overall, though the announcer can get a bit tedious.
