not as good as the originals, but still a good bunch of fun.

I LOVE RIDGE RACER YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

long ago, this review would be a 4.5, but everything changed when the horrible rubberbanding in max tours attacked, other than that it's pretty peak but i'm never truly finishing this game because of it

Ridge Racer feels weird if you try to play it like a true arcade racer. It’s more of a “precision arcade racer” where you have to plan and build your own sense of speed and flow. You can’t really whip across courses flailing an analog stick; it’s best to rely on subtle d-pad inputs and methodical balancing of each drift.
This is a wonderful edition; a compilation of the legendary PS1 courses with widescreen and a great feel.

I might be cheating marking this complete. I’ve just been continuously booting this up to complete a cup here or there and there’s still game left.

This is my first Ridge Racer, and it seems like a series I would’ve loved. There’s a world where I had a PSP and RR2/OutRun and swore off Nintendo consoles as too “kiddy”. Instead, I’ll just come to these greats decades too late and appreciate them for their slick drifting and amazing soundtrack.

Lightning in a bottle, I can pick up this game and play it forever. Fucked up it’s an EU only release.
