Updated: Ridge Racer Slipstream
Ridge Racer Slipstream, the latest game in the classic Ridge Racer series, has just been updated for MFi controller support!
Ridge Racer has been a mainstay of arcades and PlayStations for 20 years now. It strikes a great balance between fun and realism, with just the right touch of arcade gameplay to keep things interesting, without managing to turn into a combat racer.
This iPhone edition of Ridge Racer features a mix of classic courses from other games in the series, and introduces a new “Slipstreaming” mechanic, where you can gain a significant speed boost by maintaining a position directly behind another vehicle. This adds an extra level of strategy to the more traditional mechanic, and provides a new way to catch up with an opponent in addition to your nitro.
Both Standard and Extended layout MFi controllers are supported, though only in-game. With a price tag of “Free”, it’s hard not to recommend this game to any racing game fan with an MFi controller.
