BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Ridge Racer 3D. Platform: Nintendo 3DS, ESRB rating: E (Everyone), Developer: Namco Bandai Games
Fast, slick and solid arcade racing with tracks and cars familiar to fans of the franchise. 
3D element can be distracting, early game learning curve is too shallow, can be a little stale until you break though to better cars. 
This is definitely one of the better DS launch titles, but if you’re looking for something fresh and new, then Ridge Racer 3D might be a little disappointing...
