MichaelEMar 1, 2009I think everything about this game is superb. The graphics, music, tracks and handling are all excellent and this is the best arcade style racer of it's generation. It still plays better than many racing games of today.

LucaROct 20, 2009Absolutely a phenomenal racing game, controls are rock solid, and for a playstation 1 game, it looks pretty. I'm a fan of the soundtrack too, but I can see how it may not be some peoples cup of tea.

JhosethR.Jul 2, 2003I think tghis game is absolutely awesome! It can't be beaten by any other game of its releasing year, not even GT, which I hate a lot, by the way...no other game has made me feel like driving a real car, and the braking system...ohhh!!! that'0s the best part of this game...I simply love it! Venezuela (the place I live in) loves R4...

May 29, 2012Very cool arcade racing game with a huge game length. However, the number of cars is actually pretty low because most of them are just the same with different team colors. Still, on of the funniest racing games ever with all the drifting mechanics and the cool tracks.

Jun 20, 2023This game is beauty, it runs like smoothly, the story mode is fun and surprisingly touching. But above everything, it is a fun game. Ridge Racer is unique and I would love to see a remake with cars and tracks from R4, the Og Ridge Racer and Rage Racer.

Jul 15, 2016Best racing game of all time and it's not only because of the racing itself. It has great graphics, good story, that special "chic" atmosphere and memorable acid jazz soundtrack. If you enjoyed this game, you HAVE to buy the soundtrack along with it for the best experience.

May 12, 2018Best arcade racing game ever, everything in this game is 10.
Masterpiece, thanks Namco. -
Oct 28, 2020The Best Ridge Racer Series ever even with Original or 20th Anniversary Soundtrack (does it deserved a remastered?)

Jun 6, 2019You may call it nostalgia, but it was the first game I ever played in my whole life when I was just 3 years. It's very special for me. My favorite game ever, and I have been playing videogames for more than 15 years.

May 25, 2023Gran Turismo may have more content, more tracks, more of everything, but this game just has the soul and passion that makes us play games. It is sad to see we don't get games like this anymore. I love this game.

GMR MagazinePlenty of cars, silky-smooth graphics, and of all things, a story mode. Best played with the Jogcon controller. [Feb 2003, p.97]
-
Extremely tight controls, and the US version enables Dual Shock support! Take that, Japanese version!
-
The control in R4 is something that you will either be a fan of and realize that it offers almost unprecedented control or feel that it is so arcadish and fake that it's unbearable. I reside on the fan level.
