"Ridge Racer DS or Asphault Urban GT???"

I want a really good racer and am definetely getting Mario Kart DS but I dont know if I can wait until July... So could somebody please tell me;
RIDGE RACER DS OR ASPHAULT URBAN GT?

*rests case*

...

AA = Asphault Assult.

Hang on a minute, what the hell is AA?

To me, the AA shot looks a tiny bit better in terms of graphics.

No, that's not exactly what you said.

And my point is how do you know it is better when you haven't even played it!? Trust me; graphically Ridgey is superior. If you think screenshots prove anything look at these and tell me which appeals more:

I know which I think is the better looker. And I also know which one is better in motion.

Looking at screenshots? Have you any comprehension of resolution differences between your PC and a DS? Oh dear god.

That's exactly what I said. I agree Ridge Racer is a lot better as a racing game, but by looking at screen shots, Asphalt Assult looks a wee bit better in terms of graphics.

mario kart will own me in june!

Yes, firestarter, but the fact that you haven't even played Ridge Racer means that you can't really judge which is better or which is graphically superior.

I have owned both. I don't have Asphalt anymore but I do have Ridge Racer. In my opinion, Ridge Racer is better in every department. People seem to applaud Asphalt graphically, and its really not great at all. It runs fairly smoothly but it looks like an N-gage game. Ridge Racer, on the other hand, is smooth and true to the graphics we saw around the PS1/N64 era, and much better than Asphalt.

As for the game in general, Ridge Racer wins again. Despite touch screen steering being hard to use it does grow on you if you are patient, and it at least adds a new dimension to the game. Even using the D-pad on Ridgey beats Asphalts rather clunky attempts.

So yes, get Ridge Racer. It is without a doubt the better of the two.
