Customer Reviews

vvvwwrrrruUUUMMMMmmmm!!!
I'll keep this short.

Ridge Racer 2 on the PSP is a fantastic game.

I don't own the first one, but apparently there's not much new for those who've got it.

I, however, find this to be an exhilarating, bouncing 3am trip. It's all about the flow, and making your sense go, 'woah'.

I love the arcade-styled gameplay; sliding in and out of corners, nitrous-blasting my way past opponents whilst the summer-beach commentator gets all excited. I love how it's all a big festival, graphically immpresive and that so much is going on around you. I love the unbelievably encapsulating soundtrack that you could just as likely find in a club or in a young man's Peugeot 205 as he makes sure that everyone can hear it except him since he's deaf from listening to the previous game's music.

I give this game four stars because of its' apparent lack of progress from the first game, and that because I find the presence of the invisible walls to be a flaw.

But Ridge Racer 2 is a fantastic, festival joyride that makes you the star of the show. Too many times in commerce, a product has been built up to be more than it is; and whilst it wasn't quite adrenaline-fuelled, Ridge Racer 2 is a very exciting game; great job Namco!

BEST RACING GAME EVER
Ridge Racer 2 is a great racing game, from power sliding round corners to going at 500 kmh! It has loads of different cars, some special cars too which look pretty snazy! The music is fab. I know the songs almost off by heart after only a month! The graphics look real life, and look amazing in the night scenes. It is not too hard or easy either, though it gets a lot harder through the levels. My friends find this game wicked aswell, and they usually find these sort of games a bore. Anyone who is looking for a fun, thrilling racing game, here it is.
I can only give praise for this game as it is so great!

Rail Racer not Ridge Racer
well first off the graphics are good.
Only problem i've seen is the dark levels. the psp screens not very good at representing black scenes as theres too much artifacts(trail of black after object is passed). the music really stinks i know halo and zelda won awards for music and that there the best. but the music in this sounds like a high voltage wires been jammed in a systhesiser and the speratic noises that come out have been recored. Come on people cant we follow in the footsteps of EA and get real music instead of the horrid nes music? So theres a tonne of cars. they all handle the same and you wont notice that there different. tracks are fun. Now handling. sorry to say it but this is rail racer. the aim of the game is to get a power slide going to get round corners. nice idea but when you do that the game helps out way too much. its like you've been fasted to rails when this happens. so no spinning out or sliding into the wall. in fact you cant get a power slide with the car facing left to go round a right handed corner. this seams to get worse as the courses get more tighter and the cars more faster and prone to skid. also you can get the car going faster sideways on a straight than the computer can go facing forward?!?!? this is the first driving game ive had on the psp and control wise im a bit disappointed. but this game is fun for a quick blast and worth a play even after all them faults probably not worth top buck thought. find it in the bargain bin.
