- As with all launch titles, the game doesn't feel quite so fleshed out as it could have, and it's clear that the game is ticking boxes to meet standards, rather than go that extra mile to produce something great. Nevertheless, it's a fun game that feels good to control, looks impressive and delivers some classic arcade racing that's perfect for quick bursts of portable play.
Jim Sterling · Apr 04, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Namco’s first 3DS effort is pretty darn good, but it could have been mind-blowing
Mike Jackson · Mar 31, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - Ridge Racer has enough content to keep you busy, but despite the visual depth, the gameplay is too shallow to hold your attention for long
Game Trailers · Mar 31, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - There's nothing revolutionary about Ridge Racer 3D's 3DS-specific effects, but they work well, and, thankfully the spatial relationship between the foreground and background is actually noticeable.
Steve Haske · Mar 27, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The 3D effect in Ridge Racer 3D can be a bit extreme. I had no trouble playing it in the first-person view, but when you play from the default behind-the-car perspective, I found that the car sticks out a bit too much, making it hard to focus on the turns ahead.
Jeff Gerstmann · Mar 26, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Ridge Racer 3D offers a fundamentally solid, entertaining arcade driving experience. Its 3D effect is well done and benefits the player, but it does little to mask the simple core and bare bones presentation.
Michael Grimm · Mar 26, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - I have to hand it to Namco-Bandai: With the exception of omitting online multiplayer, it really put together a solid entry in the series for the 3DS launch, one that's easily high on the list of best titles available for the new system.
Randy Nelson · Mar 25, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - Ridge Racer 3DS is a perfectly competent racer, it's just one that doesn't do anything new. If you prefer an old-school arcade racing experience (like Daytona 500 or Sega Rally) over more realistic alternatives (Forza, GT), then this should satisfy early 3DS adopters.
Dan Ryckert · Mar 25, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - The good news is that with Ridge Racer, Namco has a winning formula; a racing recipe so good that it doesn't need any extra seasoning. So, Ridge Racer 3D is, almost by default, one of the best titles in the 3DS launch line-up. In fact, I'd rather play this than any other game currently available for the system, but that doesn't forgive the many signs that Namco rather rushed this out of the door.
Tom Orry · Mar 23, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - There is, however, a Versus game mode offered that utilises the abilities of Nintendo 3DS Local Play, allowing you to race with between 2-4 players. Here, one player acts as the host and players can choose between going head-to-head in Standard, One-Make and Team Battle races, with the latter dividing 3-4 players into two separate teams. That is if you have friends nearby to find time to meet up with and play against, which with even busier lifestyles these days seems a situation hard to come by.
