    I don't know if any other other reviewers here have played the other Ridge Racer titles out there, namely the ones that Namco made, instead of Nintendo, but this game doesn't hold up. If you want to play a faithful Ridge Racer game, then this just isn't it. I'd argue that this feels like some slapped together racing game Nintendo licensed and put out there, just to say that the N64 hasI don't know if any other other reviewers here have played the other Ridge Racer titles out there, namely the ones that Namco made, instead of Nintendo, but this game doesn't hold up.

    NST has taken a cherished racing series, added upon it's high marks, added some twists, including an excellent multiplayer feature and released it to harness the power of the N64. This is no mere port ladies and gentlemen, it's an amazing piece of work that even puts other Ridge Racer titles to shame.

    It took a while, but the N64 finally has a Ridge Racer title to call its own, and a very good one at that. RR64 is packing great sound, graphics, and just about everything else for the first one of the series on a Nintendo console.

    It's insane to think that NST made this incredibly fast gaming engine from scratch. However, much like the sexual performance of most North American males, this game is fast and exciting but it just doesn't last. I'm sorry Nintendo but three variations and three mirrored tracks doesn't constitute nine tracks in total.
