Ridge Racer Accelerated HD
As to be expected from the franchise, this edition includes tons of different vehicles for racing and loads of different racetracks for competing against the computer in individual races or tournaments. Also, it includes a pretty precise control system, considering it’s a game for iPhone.
The graphics, along with the gameplay, also live up to the name of the saga. Although it does have some low resolution textures and could improve the look of some cars, the overall look of the game while you’re playing is amazing.
Ridge Racer Accelerated is a really entertaining game that will please not only fans of the saga, but fans of driving games in general. This game provides the perfect combination of a simulator and an arcade game.
The core aspect of the entire Ridge Racer series is drift racing, that is traditional lap racing against opponents with the added twist of intentionally oversteering and sliding the car through sharp corners and turns, known as “drifting”, which earns the player several bonuses during a race.
Controlling the car is done by tilting to steer and on screen buttons for accelerating, decelerating and nitrous.
Notable also is the “nitrous boost” system from the previous games in the series.. The player has a Nitrous Gauge made up of three nitrous tanks, which at the start of a race are either completely depleted or only partially full. As the player drifts through the corners (especially at very high Slip angles) during the race, their nitrous gauge fills up. When the player fills up one of the three nitrous tanks, it can be activated to achieve a temporary speed boost. The nitrous tanks cannot be recharged while any tank is in use though, but the residual speed increase when the nitrous boost expires can be used just before entering corners to recharge the player’s nitrous tanks at a faster rate than normal.
The game features 8 unique courses (16 when played in reverse) with 3 more (6 when played in reverse) that can be bought in-game, all taken from previous PlayStation games. Including purchased courses (forward and reversed), the total number of tracks comes to 22.
The cars in the game include six classes, each increasing in speed and difficulty. There is a seventh (Special) class.
