Race to the finish: Ridge Racer 7 fact sheet

All together now: Riiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaceeeer! Now that we're done with that, less goofing, more vrooming. We got the lowdown on Ridge Racer 7 developed by Namco. Since lots of people have been asking us for more details (or are too lazy to check back on our previous RR posts), we're going to flip the green light on and give everyone a refresher course of what we know, what we didn't know, and what we should know:

• While there's a single player mode, RR7 allows you to bring your customised speed monster online. Place your bets in because the game allows races of up to 14 players. There's also going to be a global ranking system with downloadable content.
• You get to choose one of the 40 available roadsters and drift your way through 22 courses. Since there's reverse mode for the courses, that brings it up to a total of 44.
  
• The new machine customization mode gives you 375,000 possible visual mix-and-matches, and 7,150 tuning modifications.
  
• In the career mode Ridge State Grand-Prix, you work yourself up to become the best Ridge Racer. The player will be tested to the limit, building a career from the ground up in over 160 races

Need we say more? Fine, you might think, "Oh, it's just another racing game." But, really, is it? The simple fact that it's coming out for the PS3 instantly means its going to be a different kind of racing game. We could be wrong, but facts point out that RR7 is winning the game by a mile.
