PS3 RIDGE RACER 7

( Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )

May could not stand at the best racing series
This game has already launched for several years, and I played for several years.  The reason not is too good for play.  In fact, this is boring.  

Here, noted the bad points:
1) The controller doesn't support shock effect
2) The speed is too exaggerated, which far from realism
3) About more than 4 track compare with chapter 6
4) The final races still related with the cars named angel & devil compare with chapter 6
5) Overall, the stages are more than chapter 6, but most of them are combine and repeatedly.

General, I think this couldn't be named RR 7, may be named RR6 PLUS should be more suitable.  In other words, I suggest who played chapter 6 are no need to play episode 7.  Although, the screen of RR 7 is little bit more delicate, this is not much affect the fun. 

In order to satisfy the dedication to the RR series, I force myself to play little bit occasionally during the past years. (The other reason is playing GT5)  Finally, I completed it, but there are appear some extreme courses after that.  I gave up at the last 4 courses, because these are too hard for me, even I got the angel car.  This is same the situation in chapter 6.  I don't want like a autistic children  to do the same thing again.  It is pressure rather than entertain. 

Easy way to get angel and devil car：
As above, just finished the main course will appear Extreme courses.  Then, complete those courses about 20 races.  The courses with those 2 car will appear.  I of the course is against with Monster car, which may hard to win.  I suggest you can get the angel car first. 

Guide-Devil Car：
This car will be stopped and waiting for you at the third lap.  At that time, you turn back to meet in front of it.  Then, drive and touch its front (or the little bit side also ok).  Just, press the accelerator by slowly rhythm.  You can see the car is pushing back with the view under the white lines.  Until to the distance of the end about 3 parking spaces away, the screen will indicate that you have limit time to finish this lap.  You can leave now, and x 3 nitrous before the end of the tunnel.  It will easy to beat it. 

（This design seem not good at all）

Guide-Angel car：
Select the longest body as rocket car first.  Drive it to the audience near the ramp.  Take a look the the right side.  There is a small square and allow you move in.  Then, drive back out toward to the against line, lets your car stopped in little slopped.  The purpose is made an obstacle to lead the opposite crash in to the square.  Be remember holding the stop button waiting for it coming.  If it hit you right, it will dying inside.  It's also easy to beat it. 

Although, both of them are easy to get, after 4 course still quite difficult.  I found there is no second ending, so I do not finish it. 

Conclusion：

Today, the game price is only HKD 120. (25.11.2013)  The track are cool design ever, but the gameplay lose the realism compare with pervious chapters.  I think this RR couldn't stand as must play racing series.  It seem can not make any break out.  I really missing the feeling the pass time played RR4-5.
