    Ok if your a racing fan of the past you should get this game but if your a racing fan of the furture then i wouldn't waste my money. Also i wouldn't call this a replayable game.

    Good graphics but lacking in originality and soon becomes repetitive......

    While this is a fun games at first, over time this game begins to annoy you. The first set of races is super easy while the last is impossibly hard. The one redeeming factor is the fun it is to play against your friends.

    An extremely slick and attractive arcade racer but the lack of traffic and damage and its rather over-simplified handling makes it slightly short on thrills. A good, solid racing game though.

    While the wireless feature is one of the best things in Ridge Racer, the very best feature of Ridge Racer comes in the form of its gorgeous graphics engine... Ridge Racer looks freaking amazing.

    The incredible graphics, tight controls and excellent music/sound effects are more than enough to warrant having this game.

    With its impressive graphic and new Nitrous boost feature, RR positions itself as the best game in the series and it provides a great example of the quality of games we can expect from the PSP.
