Ridge Racer 7 review
Old Japanese proverb say: you can’t launch a new PlayStation console without a new Ridge Racer game. PS1, PS2 and PSP have all launched with a Ridge for company and here we are again, PS3 arriving on the shelves accompanied by Ridge Racer 7. Nothing changes – and that’s actually a very good thing.
