pure evil vibes here, love it
try the keyboard controls, the deliberateness of tank controls with strafe buttons adds a lot imo

John Johanas heard Perfect Drug and went "holy shit this would bang as a boss song" (he was right)
It's got a kinda cool battle system going on but it has a bad case of "free preorder bonus game" jank
1998
Simply a masterpiece. One of the best audio/visual presentations in gaming, surprisingly well written storylines, and easily the best playing of the early Ridge Racer

ok so like, at its basic core it's still ridge racer and that's great. it's just they cut out all the content to sell as dlc so you're left with this utterly anemic package with nothing to do. If you have a Vita and want ridge race just play 2 PSP or R4.
Menu theme is great tho

sadly one of the last, but one of the best. Progression feels a little confusing at times, but it's so gorgeous at 1080p 60fps at launch day on the PS3 I don't mind at all
2006
Honestly my single favorite Ridge Racer; just a massive wealth of content from across the series, a perfected driving model, killer soundtrack, and a perfectly put together single player mode to take you through all of it
1993
Who remembers this one? Riiiiiiiiidge Racer!
There's not really any reason to go back to this considering Revolution is just the same thing with more and the formula has been far improved, but there's solid foundation here. It's EXTREMELY arcadey tho (read: kinda bullshit hard)

only giving it four stars is painful cause there's so much about FFT that makes me go "yeah this is the best game ever made" like the open-ended job system, story and characters, art direction, music, etc but it's impossible for me to overlook that the gameplay balancing swings wildly from crackheaded (fun) to crackheaded (frustrating). Genuinely I think given a similar treatment to the recent Tactics Ogre remaster (minus the ugly sprite filter) it absolutely could live up to it's legacy, highly recommend using one of the quality of life rebalancing mods for the PSP version until then.
1998
If you asked me what the best game on the PS1 was I would not hesitate to say Metal Gear Solid. Just a total masterpiece on every level
This game like, exists I guess. I mean it's functional.
if you can stomach some truly GARBAGE writing it's a decent time, the extremely generous auto aim helps give it a nice run n gun feel. kind of falls apart in the last level tho
2011
Best Resistance game easily, combat feels great and it's very well paced
2008
does pick up a bit in the latter half but man it's kind of a lame followup, drops a lot of the unique stuff 1 had going on and is just kind of a generic futuristic military shooter
If you're buying a PS3 day 1 you could certainly do worse ig, it's got some cool stuff but is VERY launch title-y
