It isn’t just for racing and it isn’t just for offense, it’s for both. This power boost is one of the more interesting things about Unbounded. If you try to break the wall without the boost, you’ll just crash. In a nod to Split/Second, there are various shortcuts hidden throughout the tracks that can only be unlocked by activating this power boost and ramming through a wall. Once this meter is full, activate it for a boost and during this time even the slightest tap on any nearby vehicle will turn it into a fireball. To wreck someone you must first fill your “power” meter by drifting, getting airtime, or driving in an opponent’s slipstream. Unlike Burnout or Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, simply ramming other racers won’t do much damage. Wrecking opponents is a major part of each race. It wears these inspirations on its sleeve, which makes for a better game overall, but Unbounded can’t quite reach the same innovative and exciting heights as those games that it aspires to imitate. It takes more inspiration from Burnout and Split/Second than other Ridge Racer games, which is certainly a step in the right direction. It’s made by an American developer for one, and as such, it takes pride in deviating from the Ridge Racer formula as much as possible. Far larger targets - like bridges - light up when you've got boost in the bag, and by hitting the button at the right time you can smash through them, as well.Ridge Racer: Unbounded is not a typical Ridge Racer game. Unbounded's full-on manic racing through a range of city courses focus mainly around Domination mode, smashing other drivers' "frags", wrecking property, exploding targets, drifting for power boosts and occasionally winning races.Ī large amount of the landscape is destructible, with most things smaller than buildings easy to destroy. The more you race, the more points you score and the cars available become better. But Unbounded is a whole new world, with gritty urban environments replacing the squeaky-clean circuits of old.Ĭars that look remarkably like machines we're familiar with - but carrying names like the Wolfseye GT and Gremlin GS - are all presented in typical Ridge Racer style, with speed, acceleration and drift abilities ranked.
Ridge Racer has been around since the dawn of console time, and has basically become graphically lush with more absurd drift abilities as it has aged.
