Ridge Racer 6 X360 Q&A

"Ridge Racer 6" delivers an incredible gaming experience on the Xbox 360 that
catapults gamers into the next generation of high definition racing. Running at
a constant 60 frames per second, the game leads players through a breathtaking
selection of high-speed courses throughout the world, from neon-drenched
cityscapes to dramatic coastline vistas. Players will experience a remarkable
sense of speed as they drift through hairpin turns in "Ridge Racer 6"’s more
than 130 vehicles, each with their own unique traits and drifting style. Ridge
Racer 6 expands upon the series’ nitrous system by letting players build up
their charge and unleash explosive double and triple boosts of pure speed –
further evolving the strategy for each race. By competing in "Ridge Racer 6"’s
single player World Xplorer mode, players will be able to unlock additional game
content such as cars, prizes and brand new routes by successfully completing
their own customized multi-race route through the more than 200 races available
in the Ridge Universe.

"Ridge Racer 6" takes the race online over the Xbox Live(R) online game
service, a historic first for the storied "Ridge Racer" series. Players can
choose to compete in a wide selection of different modes for up to 14 players,
with voice chat support, including Rank Match and Player Match. Rank Match is
tied into the game’s persistent leaderboard, allowing players to compete for
World Ranking Points in a series of races that can be customized by the game’s
host. Players can enjoy more casual races in Player Match, with outcomes that
are not tied into World Ranking Points and settings that are also customizable
by the game’s host. In either Rank Match or Player Match, players can choose to
get behind the wheel and take part in the action, or observe the four wheeled
fury from a variety of different camera angles as a spectator.
