What you will find is a game hell bent on a more action-oriented and cinematic approach to arcade racers. Ridge Racer: Unbounded lives and dies by its core gameplay mechanic of building a boost meter.

If you were looking for a traditional Ridge Racer experience in this title, look away now, because you will not find it here. Long gone are the traditional Ridge Racer mechanics in Unbounded, given some obvious liberties in their design of the game, Bugbear’s latest creation feels entirely out of place in the Ridge Racer franchise. The fictional setting of Shatter Bay provides the perfect backdrop for this unconventional Ridge Racer title, giving you more than enough hazards to plow through, hairpins to drift through, and finish lines to race towards. These gangs are fighting with cars, and looking to leave as much destruction as possible, in their wakes. Bugbear sets the backdrop for Ridge Racer: Unbounded’s violent racing taking place throughout Shatter Bay, as gangs are vying for control of the city streets. A new level of environmental destruction, vehicular combat, and drift based gameplay take the franchise in an unfamiliar direction, more in the spirit of Bugbear’s previous efforts in the Flatout series. Enter Ridge Racer: Unbounded, the latest racer from Namco and BugBear.

The Ridge Racer franchise has had its ups and downs over the years, but one constant trait that it has had, is its dedication to arcade style racing.
