    Pros: Fantastic graphics and sound.; nitro boosts add a slight bit of extra depth to the formula.; solid multiplayer features..

    Cons: If you don't like Ridge Racer, this one won't change your mind..

    Racing in Ridge Racer is fun. In fact, it's always been fun, so there haven't been many changes made here, which is good for fans of the series. However, the gameplay isn't going to convert anyone after a decade of minor changes. Collisio...ns merely slow you down, and powerslides are still your primary means of moving around corners. The one key difference is that powersliding now fills up an onscreen nitro meter. When you fill one of your nitro stocks (you can store up to three boosts), you can unleash it at will for a modest speed boost. The opposing vehicles also will crack open a nitro stock from time to time, usually waiting until you're about to pass before coming at you. Beyond that, the driver artificial intelligence isn't terribly impressive. The 11 other cars in the race sort of follow their own lines and don't do much to block your pass attempts. This makes most of the game pretty easy, once you've mastered the art of the powerslide, but as you proceed through the world tour mode, the difficulty (and the speed) does ramp up. Control in the game is tight. You can play with either the analog disc or the D pad, and due to the sort of digital nature of Ridge Racer, you can get by just fine with the D pad. Beyond that, you've got your gas, brake, and nitro buttons. You can also hit another button to toggle between a first-person or third-person racing perspective. Read more Less

    Ridge Racer

    Ridge RacerAs is usual with Ridge Racer games on any PlayStation platform, the PSP version of the game really shows off what the system can do. It's one of the best-looking games in the launch lineup, and proves that a good 3D racing game can be supremely playable on a portable system. Read more
