No ridges in this game, trust me.
I have several racing games, including the best of all racers, those on Dreamcast (F355, Test Drive: Le Mans, and Sega Rally 2). I also have the "licenses-galore" Gran Turismo 2 on PSX and Sega GT. Simply put, I have much more fun playing R4 than the "licenses-galore" simulation racers, and place R4 on the replayability level of Sega Rally 2 (my favorite of all).R4 is an arcade racer, so people who prefer sim games (or who >>think<< they do) may not like it. However, as a car nut myself with all these racing games, sometimes having less realism and more fantastic cars is the best gaming medicine. R4 has much variety, creative fantasy cars, and an actual personality (its refreshing to drive a jet-powered racer; or how ’bout that winnable 1-speed 191-mph 3-ft econocar!).R4 offers a story for each of four different race managers you can work with. Like the different storylines in a Street Fighter game, this adds a dose of personality, though you won’t mistake these stories for award-winning novellas.R4 is highly recommended to all. It can be "won" by those with lesser skill on the "easier" teams, but even seasoned racers such as myself get a challenge from at least 1 out of the 4 teams (the expert-level DRC-team Grand Prix). Also, note that one can finish a Grand Prix with a few 3rd or 2nd place finishes, but those who do this and think "I’m done" will never see the better cars in the game. And definitely not.
Great value considering that it’s essentially 2.5 games in one (R4, RR 1 remastered, RR 1 original), and R4 is an entertaining arcade racer for single player, but I mostly enjoy racing games for their multiplayer aspect, which is disappointing in this case. During multiplayer you get different camera views than in single player and the both suck, also there are no AI opponents. Need For Speed III is a much better all-around game and offers far more options.
I purchased this game n summer 2000 and everyone n my family was awestruck by the game’s intro video music,n-game music and graphics!The only flaw this game has lies n it’s 2-player mode which has horrible draw back(can’t barely make out the vehicles both players r using)!
The game arrived as posted. New and Sealed. Awesome!!!!!! I will be back looking for more backup games as needed. Again, Awesome…
When racing games were dominated by ‘real’ simulation Gran Turismo, I just couldn’t enjoy first two Gran Turismo games except the fact that I do get to drive my car. That chemistry wasn’t just there. When I picked up this gem, I was immediately sucked into it. The graphic was BETTER than first two Gran Turismo games and not to mention its story line. It’s simple story, but they have managed to present the ‘simple’ story with special cutscenes with jazzy music, and believe me, this combination really adds alot to this game. This game does offer variety with two types of racing and four racing team. Not only each team offers various difficulty, but also it offers different storylines. I have especially enjoyed night setting race course, with music which it brings out the essence of each course to its max. May be something’s wrong with me for I just couldn’t enjoy ‘awesome’ Gran Turismo games (third installment was very enjoyable)..you might say.. but this game was MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE than Gran Turismo, Don’t miss it!
Ridge Racer was Namco’s staple arcade racer from the nineties up to the new tens. The fast game play, tight controls, memorable Prodigy inspired music and great track and car design helped it to stand out from other games of its kind. Naturally, this was going to be a launch title for Sony’s first PlayStation console. Also naturally, sequels would be spawned from the success of Ridge Racer. Ridge Racer Type 4 was most certainly one of those sequels, and considered the finest hour for the PlayStation library as well as the franchise. For bonus points, it’s been re-released on both the PlayStation Network and the recent PlayStation Classic.So, given it’s long, recurring legacy, how does it really stack up after all of these years?The Good:+ The game looks beautiful. The cars are all nice and detailed, the tracks and environments are eye candy, and it also runs on a very smooth frame-rate. It also uses bloom lighting, at the time considered impressive.+ The soundtrack is also awesome. From ‘Movin To The Beat’, to ‘The Objective’, ‘Pearl Blue Soul’, and ‘Your Vibe’, there is not one song in the game that you will not like at all. Props to Kohta Takahashi, Hiroshi Okubo, Asuka Sakai, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, and Koji Nakagawa for their hard work.+ The cars control smoothly, whether using a D-Pad, Dual Analog/Dualshock, or even NegCon controller. Especially if you use the NegCon or even the JogCon controllers, which really make you feel like you’re driving a car and even give you a sor.
Out of all of the Ridge Racer games that exist, Type 4 gets it right. The music fits just right, the story mode is fun, and the atmosphere makes it enjoyable. It’s a shame most games today can’t capture what this game did.
Excellent right on time
great
