Strengths: Old School Ridge Racer, Music, Graphics
Weakness: Music stops playing if game has been put into sleep mode once.
The game is very straight forward and fun. The graphics are amazing and the game doesn't slowdown one bit. There's also a lot of replay-ability due to the sheer amount of cars you can unlock. During World Tour mode there's an abundance of racing leagues to finish which also increases the replayability, but races are relatively short so that players can do a quick race inbetween their commute or...

Strengths: Awesome music, Graphics that show off the PSP's power, Solid controls
Weakness: Repetitive after awhile, AI can be cheap
This version of Ridge Racer is a significant upgrade over its DS counterpart. If you're into arcade racers, then this is the game for you. The graphics, sound, and controls all come together in a very slick package. Especially when using the nitrous boost, you can really feel the speed. The AI, however, is a little unbalanced: way too easy at the beginning and frustrating toward the end. There...

Solid but not perfect racer
Strengths: Great graphics, Unlockables, Soundtrack
Weakness: Unlicensed cars, Drift system, Computer AI, Analog Control
If you've played any previous ridge racers then you have an idea of what this game is about--This is an arcade racer and not a simulation like Gran Turismo. It runs at a smooth and crisp 60 FPS. As a tweak to previous games in the series, Namco has added Nitro boost. It is accumulated after performing drifts, 180s and the like. When I first played with the analog stick I felt I had no control....

Strengths: Great graphics, fun gameplay, Easy to get into, Saves after every race you complete, Great soundtrack
Weakness: Analog Nub is only ok with this game, Some people will not like the drifting system, AI is kind of dumb.
This is a great starting game for the PSP. It's an arcade style racer that's really easy to get into. Taking corners is incredibly easy (almost too easy) and works in the form of power sliding/drifting. All you have to basically have to do is release the gas or break slightly and then turn. When drifting you preform all sorts of crazy cornering that would be impossible in any logical physics...

Flashy and accessible but not very deep
Strengths: Good-looking, high-speed fun. Unlockable bonus content.
Weakness: Playing the same handful of tracks gets repetitive.
Whenever Sony releases a new console, you can be sure Namco will be there with a new version of its Ridge Racer franchise. This edition is almost like a best-of pack, consisting of graphically-updated tracks from the past four versions of the game. It's not just a rehash, however, as they've also added a new Nitro-boosting feature. The name of the game is drifting. Throw your car into a corner...
