    A friend of mine had this game on PSP and it is what got me to buy the system in the first place. I have never played any other incarnations of this game so this PSP version was fresh for me. The graphics are great and very detailed. The challenge of the game progresses as you get to be a better player. That's what keeps players like myself coming back to the game. You advance through novice courses into expert courses and on to one on one challenges with rival drivers/cars. There may only be 24 tracks to race but the mix of the six different classes of cars gives you the chance to try new things on each of the courses. The only drawback I have noticed on this game is that the reward system is cheesy and not very well designed. After completing ALL of the basic and expert races you are rewarded with "The End Credits!" Woohoo! The other awards are just as lame with design drawings and earlier generation game credits as awards. I've started the whole game over several times and always ... Read more

    One of the best racers to date for the PSP. A lot of fun and a lot of tracks. Use 1st person view, it's much better.

    Pretty good racing game, but I prefer Ridge Racer 2 to this one.

    This is poetry and love stories in motion. When ever I am drifting around corners in this game while listening to the music, I feel like I am dancing with a car moving at 200 mph. If you are looking for a reason to own a PSP, Ridge Racer is enough reason. It definitely shows the world that the PSP is going to challenge the Nintendo DS for the #1 spot.....I personally believe it will dominate.

    I start by saying that even though I love racing games, I pretty much s*ck at them. That doesn't stop me from trying many racing games from the hard core Grand Turismo titles, to more accessible Need for Speed. I dont know why I have not tried any Ridge Racer title before. I guess I was put off by most people saying that it is not very accurate driving. Well, I tried this title now that is price is low and found it a hoot. I loved the sense of speed I get from the game. it is very easy to get started, but it does get harder as you go. It is not a racing sim, even though, you are driving a car, the physics is very loose. You will enter drift very easy. I guess the mechanics is there for you to hone in you timing and control manuevers to achieve maximum speed. One minor flaw of this is that when you dont pull the drift right, you car never flips around 180 degrees. Another thing is that you can hit the wall and bounce off it with little penalty. This breaks the realism until you a... Read more
