Ridge Racer 3D was a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS and it shows to with the visuals being nowhere near as great as they could've been and no online play. Despite these two glaring flaws Ridge Racer still has a ton of content.

It should also be noted that this is my first ever Ridge Racer game.

In Ridge Racer 3D you drive in a car to beat your opponents. To get ahead of the opponents you must either keep drifting until your drift meter has enough power to give a boost to your car, or you can slipstream, get behind a opponent's car to gradually get a boost.

In the campaign mode there are tournaments which have four courses to race on. The objective? Get to first place and stay there. (You alway start at 8th place, the last place)

I have spent over 6 hours in the campaign mode and I'm only 24% through it. The campaign mode is definitely long and already getting quite hard.

In addition to campaign there is also a local multiplayer mode where you can challenge friends with other 3DS's locally. The best part? You only need 1 game card!

There are time trials for each of the courses. There are also some courses where you can play a time trial and send your top time to others using streetpass. Though I've never had a chance to test this feature out unfortunately. Foreveralone.gif.

Even though Namco could've improved the graphics and added online multiplayer, with the various courses, lengthy campaign, and fun gameplay. This is a game worth looking into.
