So, I bought DLC racer. Eep.
And do you know what? I don't hate it.
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand & agree with the critical panning it got, but the game itself is alright. It's Ridge Racer 7 on my Vita. A content-stripped Ridge Racer 7, but the same base game nonetheless.
I'm kinda finding the upgrade system quite addictive too. For the £5 (used) I picked it up for, it's alright. And with the DLC, there's 9 tracks, which is only one less than WipEout which is my favourite racing game on Vita. It's a shame they gave this game the DLC treatment; it would've been solidly received otherwise.
As a side note, we need more racing games on Vita. I have WipEout; Need for Speed & now this. I'm not interested in Asphalt; and I'm not too sure whether I'll try Sonic or Modnation. That only leaves F1 and the Milestone Srl. games, really. Maybe I'll have to check one of them out.
I'd love stuff like Grid 2 on Vita, but seems like a long-gone dream by this point. Need for Speed Rivals would be great too, but with Criterion no longer helming I doubt that'll ever happen again. Meh. I guess I can play it through Remote Play :P
