Ridge Racer V for PlayStation 2

Pros: great racing game

Cons: ???

Review: I would like to start of by saying one thing. I had never played a Playstation until I waited in line for the Playstation2 at Best Buy.
My boyfriend chose this game to be the one and only game that we would buy at this time.
I don’t...

Pros: Cool cars, cool enviroments, and neat secrets.

Cons: none

Review: With most racing games now trying to out do each other it's nice to know Namco has just tried to make a product of quality. Gran Turismo in my opinion is one of the worst racing games because of the fact the waste all that space on weird cars most people...

Pros: Pretty good graphics for a launch title.

Cons: It takes a step backwards from Ridge Racer Type 4.

The Bottom Line: IF you've never played a Ridge Racer game, then you'll find something new. For the rest of us, it's not bad, but a bit redundant in terms of design.

Review: Folks, Namco straight up lied to your face when they call Ridge Racer V a "new Ridge Racer". If it were to be new, the courses would have been created from something that didn't exist before. Granted, the cars are new and the graphics are updated, but...

Pros: Solid control, fun game, lots of unlockables, many play modes

Cons: Steep difficulty curve in regard to game levels, Later cars overpowered, Graphics could be better

Review: Well, I thought that a racing game would be fun to have, so I bought Ridge Racer 5 with my PS2. I'm not regretting my decision at all, either. I think it's a solid title, though that doesn't mean that I'm not waiting for GT3(I am...).

First...

Pros: Great graphics and sounds, and great gameplay.

Cons: Not so great in two player mode.

The Bottom Line: A game that any video game fan can enjoy.

Review: I am a big fan of racing games, and since I had NBA live 01, which was a big letdown, I decided to get another game. I had trouble deciding which game to get, but I finally decided to buy Ridge racer instead of some of the other racing games that were...

Pros: Smart presentation, good control, progression through the game is great, fine music

Cons: Some may find it too hard, two player mode is poor.

The Bottom Line: What a game, once you pass the first few GPs the game opens up with fabulous tracks and new extra cars. The tracks are the best you'll ever see!

Review: Intro
-=-=-==-
First I'll say why its the third best launch game. Among the launch games were two other strong contenders, SSX Snowboarding and Timesplitters, and in my view these were better than RRV. I can't really split them into...

Pros: Amazing graphics, great soundtrack, great control

Cons: Headlights don't work, announcer is VERY repetitive

The Bottom Line: Not a killer app, but a great racing title nonetheless.

Review: Now, I may be a tad biased here, but Ridge Racer was one of my favorite franchises on the original PS. With good graphics, excellent gameplay, and a consistently good soundtrack, they've always been great.

And once again, not to my surprise,...

Pros: good graphics

Cons: not enough cars

Review: WEll its not Gran Turismo I cay say. The game is like straight from the arcade same setup and graphics look exactly the same. You couldn't tell it was from the arcade because it looks so good and just like the arcade.

Well let me tell you...

Pros: Very Fun

Cons: Could be a little better

Review: The original Ridge Racer carried the Playstation launch years ago with it's state of the art graphics (for it's time) and blistering, fast-paced, arcade racing action. Now, a few sequals later, Ridge Racer V attempt to do the same for the Playstation 2...

Pros: great graphics, overall value

Cons: can get repetitive

The Bottom Line: Just get it if you have a PS2!

Review: I am tired of reading all of the negitive reviews about RRV. This is much better than everyone says. RRV is said to have "lost" the originality that R4 had. But V brings the Ridge Racer series back to its roots: Arcade Racing. Don't expect real-life...
