From the second the game starts and franchise mascot Reiko Nagase's introduction video plays,
Slipstream looks and sounds like so many other Ridge Racer games before it, even if it looks like a slightly older game in the series due to the technical limitations.

But 2014 new LV
Slipstream sneaker boots goes in an entirely different direction, going for more of a retro performance
look and feel.
If you're just
looking for something to kill a few minutes a day and don't mind the grind, though, Ridge Racer
Slipstream is a decent value for its purchase price.
The A.I. driver level includes very easy, easy, medium, hard, expert, legend and ultimate with the major difference being the aggressiveness of the A.I. in which the A.I. controlled cars will
look to overtake you at almost every straight and corner resulting in you having to be more defensive through the corners in order to avoid being overtaken at every opportunity the A.I. drivers professionally engineer from getting a great exit out of a corner to engage the throttle a little earlier and taking full advantage of the
slipstream or alternatively diving up the inside of a corner or perhaps even trying to surprise you around the outside of a corner or fast bend.
Disappointingly, this removes an element of strategy from the racing as players would have previously
looked to deploying ERS at just the appropriate time to push for an overtake such as daring to utilise ERS round the outside of a fast bend or perhaps even the more common overtaking manoeuvre by utilising ERS and DRS simultaneously in harmony with a
slipstream throughout the duration of a long straight; therefore the removal of ERS does nothing to improve the excitement of wheel to wheel racing.
