1998
This is the only racing game I know of that has incorporated a theme, in this case the idea of a “turning point” and implementing it into all these different aspects to create a unified and beautifully made game. The gameplay is centered around drifting around corners and turns; the managers you meet are in what can be called turning points in their lives and as the Prix progresses move on from the past and towards the future; the final race of the Grand Prix takes place on the last day of 1999, the literal turning point between two millenniums; and of course this being the last Ridge Racer on the PS1, serving as a turning point for the series. The fact that this game released with a 60 FPS version of Ridge Racer 1 to show how far the series has come on the same platform really ties everything together as well. Overall a phenomenal title and my favorite racer. also has good music.

First played this game when I was like 7 and even as a dumbass elementary school student I knew it was ass. Going back to it now it hasn’t changed a bit.

8Bit Music Power is a decent track list but it’s mostly a novelty as something released on the famicom years since it’s discontinuation to me.
Pac Attack but Katamari, truly the peak of the DS system.

Not really a fan of this game. The story is pretty paper thin and the gameplay, while fun at first, doesn’t evolve beyond dodging and shooting enemies. The fighting environments are particularly annoying with a number of them too narrow or small to have the necessary movement needed to dodge attacks. The enemy designs are killer, but they don’t carry the game.
Very ok rhythm game. Full extra star for being developed by Grasshopper.
so surreal, so awesome.

could not understand how to play the game at all, but the imagery is great and incorporates Sato’s art well

the sheer amount of dopamine that is released in the brain of anyone who plays this should be studied by scientists
