Haven't got PGR3 yet.  Only recently started playing PGR2 on the original xbox.  And I'm sure it's not going to be that significantly different.  Ridge Racer on the other hand is a completely different style of racer, and I really like the style of tracks used in the game.  We're loving the Ridge Racer.  Been playing for about 9hrs now, and only done 23% of the World Tour mode.

Ridge Racer 5 was probably the weakest in the series.  Been a long time waiting for some new Ridge action, and for me, 6 hasn't disappointed.  It's gone a bit Burnout by introducing all the Nitros stuff, but there are still races that don't let you use it for some classic action.

I think it's a great racer.
