Not only can you do big damage to the environment (and score big points) by blazing through stores to reveal alternate routes or ramps, but you can also knock other cars off the road in dramatic fashion ("frags"), Burnout style. There are, however, a few highlighted structures that you wouldn't normally plow through-such as the aforementioned brick walls-until you build your Power meter, which acts as a speed boost (with cool accompanying light trails). These points are gathered by plowing through anything other than a solid brick wall. When you fire up Ridge Racer Unbounded, you can only select one car and race district, but others are unlocked as you accumulate collateral damage points. Shatter Bay's many districts are high-detailed and destructible locations (with some beautiful lighting effects) that just entice you to race one more match. The cars are gorgeous, as are the dense urban environments in which they race. These cars are, of course, unlicensed as they get absolutely wrecked as you bulldoze your way through the city-vehicle manufacturers aren't too keen on seeing their luxury rides decimated in video game form.

Ridge Racer Unbounded features a varied car selection that ranges from ultra-sleek sports cars to powerful vintage muscle cars, each with different speed, acceleration, handling, strength, and drifting capabilities. This intensifies each mistake you make, and adds unneeded stress to the game, detracting somewhat from the fun. That said, you will likely have great difficulty competing with the enemy AI, which manages to drive near-flawlessly.

Some games, such as those in the Burnout franchise, almost move too quickly, which results in drivers too often overshooting targets or smashing into walls. I Can't Drive 55Ridge Racer Unbounded has a great sense of speed.
