It might be shiny, but there's a reason it's cheap...

Arcade racers are primarily aimed at over-caffeinated eight year olds, and if that's you then RR7 will tick all the right boxes. I appreciate that driving something here bears absolutely no relation to driving in the real world. But that's the point - when I'm driving something, I expect to be able to predict what it's going to do, rather than having it arbitrarily clunk against the often invisible limits of where the programmers decided the car would be allowed to steer. And the teeth-grindingly irritating DJ (which can at least be switched off), the apparently minimal effort in working out a driving physics model beyond "hit the brake, steer to the side and you'll drift" and the occasionally perverse AI used for the computer drivers results in a clunky, way-below-average game experience. The number of copies of this in the pre-owned bins in your local game store is probably the most damning criticism you'll get; as for me, I want more from a racing game.
Arcade heaven

One of the PS3 release day titles and still the best "arcade" racer around. The grahics are better than some games being released now and the gameplay is long lasting. A must have for any PS3 race loving fan!
