Impressive score for Wipeout. Less so for Ridge.

I can see why for ridge the online had better be bloody good as single player was utter toss (over in 20 mins more or less) no mention of the 45-60 second load times on wipeout though

I hold no weight to edge or tm scores these days but I'd I did then vita is having an excellent launch.

Ridge Racer is getting horrible reviews across the board from what I have seen, it's basically a ?20 front end that let's you download paid DLC.

Apparently the actual game plays as well as you would expect, but there's not actually much of it at the moment.

I bought it on import and that is pretty much the case yeah

Is Ridge Racer that bad? When you factor in the DLC which gives you 3 additional tracks and 5 new cars it seems a reasonable price on the face of it.

Not sure as I never bought the dlc I can say without it it's very sparse

[rmoxon]

How much is the DLC?

I think it has low scores becuase as a stand alone product it has hardly any content, and if they keep releasing it as little bits and pieces then the equiviliant of a full game will probabaly cost a fortune.

The DLC is free providing you buy a new copy before April. After that they stop being packaged with a DLC code (although it will probably take time to filter through). http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...with-gold-pass

Didnt J0e say the online career thing was the dogs bits?

[rmoxon]

Not sure I understand that article right, all the DLC is free if you buy the game before April?

He did and as I bumped off the import for a uk copy I'm hoping he is right

No, the first set of DLC is free. The next set of DLC needs to be paid for.
