The newest installment of the smash racing franchise aims to shake up the genre by breaking all the rules and a plenty of cars along the way.  Get ready to take the action off the circuits and into the streets for one of the most action-packed and destructive racing games ever seen.

Players will careen through the competition using their four-wheeled street-racing thoroughbreds as high-octane wrecking machines with a new mantra – Drive, Destroy, Dominate.

In single player mode, players must impress Kara Shindo, leader of the Unbounded gang, to develop street cred in Shatter Bay through high-speed destruction.  Domination Race encourages players to destroy everything in sight including rival cars, the environment and other traffic on the road.  Survival Race gives the player one car and one chance to avoid destruction to finish in first place.  Additional game modes include action focused on just taking out other cars, drifting and dueling.

Namco Bandai Games confirmed Ridge Racer Unbounded will be released in North America later in 2012 to give the development team some additional time to pack the disc with features that will truly make the game sing. Namco Bandai Games will be making an announcement shortly outlining the new release date, pre-order incentives and a full list of features that will excite fans of the series.
