Reviewed on 2008-06-27 Excellent racing title One of the best racers to date for the PSP. A lot of fun and a lot of tracks. Use 1st person view, it's much better.

Reviewed on 2008-03-20 GET IT. This is poetry and love stories in motion. When ever I am drifting around corners in this game while listening to the music, I feel like I am dancing with a car moving at 200 mph. If you are looking for a reason to own a PSP, Ridge Racer is enough reason. It definitely shows the world that the PSP is going to challenge the Nintendo DS for the #1 spot.....I personally believe it will dominate.

Reviewed on 2008-02-16 Very good racing arcade I start by saying that even though I love racing games, I pretty much s*ck at them. That doesn't stop me from trying many racing games from the hard core Grand Turismo titles, to more accessible Need for Speed. I dont know why I have not tried any Ridge Racer title before. I guess I was put off by most people saying that it is not very accurate driving. Well, I tried this title now that is price is low and found it a hoot. I loved the sense of speed I get from the game. it is very easy to get started, but it does get harder as you go. It is not a racing sim, even though, you are driving a car, the physics is very loose. You will enter drift very easy. I guess the mechanics is there for you to hone in you timing and control manuevers to achieve maximum speed. One minor flaw of this is that when you dont pull the drift right, you car never flips around 180 degrees. Another thing is that you can hit the wall and bounce off it with little penalty. This breaks the realism until you accept, again, that this is not a racing sim but an arcade racing game. The graphics are very good looking for a first generation psp game. You will see some jaggies, which I've read is the usual problems of RR series games. But they are not distracting since you are moving very fast. The music is ok, not my cup of tea. The only thing that could improve the game would be the ability to customize your ride like others games do. But in this case, you win races to unlock cars that are faster than the one you got right now. Oh yeah, you wont see any brand name of cars that you would recognize, no mazdas, nissans, etc. Instead you will get some made up over top brand names. So you car will resemble some mutation of a ferrari, viper, etc. Nothing you will recognize. and yet, the cars are good looking. At the bargain price this game is, it is sure recommendation.

Reviewed on 2007-12-04 played many times. have beat it and deleted my saved settings,and played to beat it again and again.

Reviewed on 2007-06-11 w00t! RR still got it goin on! With games these days going downhill like they are, its nice to see such a gem in the rough. This game will not let me put my psp down!!! The music is fantastic, the arcade physics are great (drift mania!). The graphics are stunning! Their just isnt enough good things I can say about this title! Something this one has that most psp race games seem to lack is a replay mode, and the ability to save and share my replay's... THIS IS A NEEDED FEATURE IN RACING GAMES!!!! Why would you have a slick race title and not have a replay mode (need for speed)? Oh well, enough said... Got 20 bones? GET THIS GAME!!!
