SANTA CLARA, Calif., (November 14, 2005) – Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. today announced "Ridge RacerTM 6" has gone gold for the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. A true next-generation video game experience, "Ridge Racer 6" lets players race across stunning high-definition locales through an in-depth single player World Xplorer mode and compete online for the first time in the history of the "Ridge Racer" series. "Ridge Racer 6" will be available for the launch of the Xbox 360 this November.
Developed for the Xbox 360, "Ridge Racer 6" takes advantage of the system's power to deliver the most intense and immersive drift racing experience yet, with an unprecedented sense of speed, slick graphics and more than 130 cars that let players enjoy every hairpin drift and high-speed straightaway like never before.
