Ridge Racer Unbounded - PC Game Review

Ridge Racer Unbounded is a street racing game. I actually reviewed the demo before, but since I got the full version on a Steam sale, I realized it was fairly different, and deserved a separate review.

The game has a few modes, which actually behave quite differently from each other. There are different unlockable cars per mode, too.

Domination race: run against a bunch of other races. You can frag these racers, as well as destroy small pieces of the scenery (such as trash cans, trees, parked cars, light poles, etc). This will give you points, and together with some other actions (such as chasing a car close for a time, drifting, etc) will give you Power.
You can use this to accelerate quickly, do major damage to other cars, and destroy specific parts of the scenery - such as trucks (explode with a shockwave that can destroy other cars), building, parts of bridges, etc. You can sometimes get more points with this than winning a race.

Shindo Racing: racing with less destruction. You get Boost from several actions, too.

Frag Attack: destroy as many cars as you can till the time runs out. You get near constant Power.

Time Attack: as a big truck, destroy as many cop cars as possible.

Drift Attack: get points for drifting. You have to reach goals in a certain time for extra points.

You progress through the game in several ways. First of all, you have a category from all races that can get you extra cars, locations and pieces to build custom tracks.

That game is divided in several districts, each with several races. You have a high score per race, and you need certain sums to unlock more races in that district.

Graphics look pretty good, although the lights can be a little exaggerated at times, and I sometimes have to start the game because a big "fog wall" problem. Music is mostly annoying.

Overall, the game is pretty fun for the price. 7/10
