You have just asked this in the topic I started. Why you asking again?

Anyway, in case you didn't notice me saying this;

"AA is graphicly better, but the overall best is RR. The driving in AA is not very realistic. Don't bother getting AA, wait untill RR comes out."

Does that answer your question?

if you want to impress your friends with visuals go 4 AA but if you want to impress with gameplay and overall style go for RR its a no-brainer!

Another opinion is CUBE magazine giving Aphalt Assult a 4.1 and Ridge Racer a 7.8.

Like Ninjax said, RR is not as graphicaly good as AA, but will last you longer and you will get more enjoyment out of it.

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.
