Ridge Racer V for PlayStation 2

Pros: cool cars, good graphics, challenging tracks

Cons: easy, unrealistic physics, computer cars soooo sloooowwww

The Bottom Line: A so-so racing game. Not difficult and unrealistic.

Review: Before i even had a Playstation I never had played a good racing game. My idea of an awesome racing game was Top Gear Rally for N64. Then we got a playstation. My first racing game for the PS1 was need for speed rally, which is the worst racing...

Pros: Nice Graphics, Tight Control

Cons: Weak Gameplay, Lack of Anti-Aliasing, Little Extras

Review: This game is definitely not worth the money. Although the game produces some pretty amazing graphics, but that is about the only thing that this game has going for it. Ridge Racer series dates backs awhile and though it has been known to produce good...

Pros: Easy to get into racing game, decent graphics

Cons: track originality, lack of car tuning options

Review: This really isn't a bad game over all. I just rented this game to see if I would like it. I liked it, but not enough to buy it.

Ridge Racer 5 is an arcade racer. If you keep that in mind as you are playing or as you go to buy it, you won't...

Pros: Graphics are Good. Good Sound and Control

Cons: Why so much fog in multiplayer?

Review: Ridge Racer V was one of the most hyped of the PS2 launch games. Well, does the game live up to all the hype? Yes and No.

RRV was one of the games that i bought at launch. I had read good reviews about it, and bad ones. I also read that...

Pros: Beautiful graphics

Cons: limited playability

Review: I decided to rent all of the PS2 games that I am
interested in buying, before I purchase them.
I used Gran Tourismo 2 as my comparison for the
quality of this game. I think true automotive
simulation enthusiasts will be disappointed...

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Music

Cons: Too few tracks, cars, and the drawing

Review: I was looking forward to playing this new game for Playstation 2 ( which is totally awesome by the way ). Overall I suppose I liked the game. I will talk about the positives first. The graphics are amazing!

This blows away like Gran Turismo...

Pros: Good graphics

Cons: Bad voice acting! And bad PAL conversion!!

Review: Ridge Racer 5 is not a bad game but Ridge Racer 4 is better. The frist thing bad thing about this game is the big black boreders on screen in the PAL version of the game. Next is the music the music is nowhere near as good as Ridge Racer 4. Now the voice...

Pros: Manages to be fun if you're an original Ridge Racer fan

Cons: Flickering graphics, horrid aliasing, lack of detail, lack of tracks (only 4), NOT indicative of the PS2's power

Review: Ridge Racer was the first game I ever bought for the Playstation years ago. It was easily one of my favorite games. It had ONE track, that's it. You could argue that it had a reverse-mode, but all in all it had ONE track.

Similarly, Ridge...

Pros: good AI against all skill levels, easy to play

Cons: graphics are not well done, only 4 tracks

Review: I have to say, and this may be hard to believe, that Ridge Racer I is better than the latest version of the game released by Namco with the PS2. They have added more tracks since then and more cars, and maybe I'm way off on this but...

The...

Pros: All the cars have nice shiny wheels and look good

Cons: Terrible sound/voices/tracks/ repeating the same lines over and over makes you want to turn it off and sell it immediately

Review: Ridge Racer V is one game you should not be picking up if you own a PS2. It combines PS1 type graphics with redundant sounds, awful voices, and bottom of the barrel gameplay. Hope you didn't waste 50 bucks on this one, it'd be a real shame. Ridge...
