Ridge Racer revving up the interest on the Vita

Remember all the low reviews and furrowed brows when Sony/Namco arsed up Ridge Racer for the Vita launch? (Here's my £16.99 worth). Well, since those early days, a couple more tracks have made their way to the store (for free if you got the Gold Pass thingy) and a boatload of music from across the series. Japanese gamers are also getting some very pretty new skins for their cars.



A check on the Japanese Ridge site shows off some of the even smarter content headed our way, eventually. So, hold off on that initial disappointment and get downloading to open up the new roads. While they won't gloss over the broken lack of challenge and feeble multiplayer mode, there is still some goodness in this game to be had.
