Ridge Racer 3D

Date played: May 1st
Platform: 3DS
Time played: 30 minutes
Session fun rating: 6/10

Nice graphics are promising for other 3DS games
More of the same.  At least the category three cars are more fun to drive.  I was using Standard cars for most of the game so far but with the faster speeds, I seem to favor Dynamic cars.  While they are are certainly more prone to major spin outs, they do offer more control when power sliding.

Also, some of these circuits have pretty impressive visuals.  One track in particular stood out to me, one that had me rushing past lush green hills and grass.  I keep thinking of how good the 3DS could make an RPG or action game look.  I cannot wait to see more of Super Mario 3DS.
