RIDGE RACER DS OR ASPHAULT URBAN GT?
RIDGE RACER DS OR ASPHAULT URBAN GT?
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?
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.
