Ridge Racer: Accelerated coming to iPhone

Your first race along the ridge in three years

Ridge Racer: Accelerated coming to iPhone

Namco Bandai is once again revving its Ridge Racer engine, this time gearing the franchise up for its iPhone debut.

Racing games have consistently proven to be the most technically impressive iPhone titles, so it makes perfect sense for Apple's handheld to be the recipient of the first Ridge Racer game in almost three years.

The news of Ridge Racer: Accelerated speeding toward the App Store comes from Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, which seems confident that the game will be with us on iPhone before the end of the year.

There aren't many other details available for Ridge Racer: Accelerated, other than the expected accelerometer controls and first- or third-person perspectives for your driving position.

Have a look at the teaser trailer below, and give us your thoughts on RR: Accelerated for iPhone in the comments.
