  • Not a very good for Ridge Racer standard but when it comes to the speed of this game it's

    the fastest game of the series!

    One of the special machine RRV is ridiculous have a top speed of over 500 km/h unfortunately

    it never reach that speed.

  • i remember this when i played 99 laps, damn it took for hours but i finally finished it 1st

  • really R4 is better...

  • LoL scarface references :)

  • I love this game, I miss it.

  • A team of monkeys could come up with better video game music than this!

  • @Nismology5 yeah, but youtube the rr4 soundtrack and be treated to some of the best music, no.....it IS the greatest fucking soundtrack a racing ame ever had. It will never be topped.

  • ps1 Gran Turismo 2,have better graphics than this '-'

  • @72TheScarface

    are you crazy? graphics on this game are much higher than the GT2 and any PS1 game...

  • I got this with Tekken Tag on the PS2 at launch. Best 2 games you could buy on the day (and the first 2 ever to be made for it oddly). Best RR game IMHO, fuckin' hard though.

  • Here come the flashbacks

  • I cried when I played this on my friend's imported PS2 before the US got its PS2 release because I thought this was as real as video games would look. But now that I look at it it's SOOO friggin jagged around the cars lol

    This was WAY before developers learned how to smooth those horrible edges out

  • nice game but bad graphic for ps2 just look at the power of ps2 man great game before

  • @55Firelord

    For a game from 2000 it has amazing graphics.

  • @ElBarto3131 LOL 2000 ? I didnt saw that

  • @55Firelord

    It was a launch title for the PS2.

  • man the thing that pisses me off so much is that once you start the game you cant access ANY of the modes until you beat....ALL THE CIRCUITS OF THE GRAND PRI!!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE??? Or maybe I am wrong. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME.

  • WHAT SHIT MUSIC IS THAT - SPEEDCORE OR SOMETHING

  • @mandude83. the storyline in R4 sucked. you chose some team to race for, and just listened to them bitch about everything under the sun.

  • "IT"S RIDGE RACER!RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIDDGGEEE RACEEEEEEEEERRRR" - Kaz Hirai

  • this game has the best and most accurate driving physics of any racing game. other racing games make your car drift sideways and shit when you bump into something, or makes you slide around all crazy just cause you wanna take a corner faster than shit. ridge racer beats need for speed and gran turismo anyday in my book.

  • @mireaux7 *hopes it's a joke*

  • @vortigaunt365 its not a *joke*, fucker. ive played just about every racer there is for playstation. ridge racer is the best, which is obviously the reason it brought you over to comment on this page as well.

  • @mireaux7 i only ever played ridge racer 7, it was complete shit but I'm pretty sure the ps1 ridge racers were much better.

  • nossa é um bom jogo nas parece de playstation 1 ai zoa néh

  • I have ridge racer 3ds, got to say im pretty dissapointed, plays a good game of ridge, but graphically on the cars atleast its not a patch on this and the 3d is good but doesent exactly do much to the gameplay tbh, You'll be cranking that slider down not long into it, Also why the hell do they never include the story like structure that was in type 4?

  • The UK version had black borders, so the screen look squashed, plus the back of the car was half missing. Cars felt a bit heavy and it didn't seem to be very challenging. After the N64 and DS versions, this is the 3rd worst version in the series.

  • this game is sooooooooo stupid

  • Fond memories for sure. I remember playing this, and Tekken Tag Tournament. The PS2 such a great console

  • type 4 had much better music for sure

  • uh theres Heihachi as a game player wtf :P

    @ 2:25

  • Nostalgia... <3

  • @simon12762 hell yeah!

  • i cant get pass round 2...

  • @simon12762 Damn right man... the girl's as hot as ever but the song :/

    The opening of RR Type 4 was pure epicness =D

  • this one was shit, hardly any replay value, not many cars to unlock there werent even that many tracks

  • Prrfect handling... -Than`t about it, sadly everything else look like it`s done on N64 or something...

  • @M1XART

    Perfect handling? When? When you let off the gas it acted as if you hit the breaks and your back end wanted to go first. Feels like the one time I almost wrecked my truck in a snow/ice storm. There are much better racing games for the PS1, Master System, SNES and the PS2 vs this game. Rant over.

  • omg what a game

  • No more sequels were made on PS2 unlike how Ridge Racer went to RR Revolution to Rage Racer and then RR Type 4.

    Also although I love Gran Turismo, I really hated the gaming media and gamers critisizing Ridge Racer for not being realistic when its an arcade style racing game

    Just look at Namco's other progress with Soul Calibur II to SCIII and TekkenTT, Tekken 4 to Tekken 5 on PS2 basically shutting the f up on critics of PS2 tech which was great hardware 4 its time & still has great software

  • @7MGTESupraTurboA agreed ps2 for its time was GOOD much better then ps3

  • @simon12762 Ridge Racer Type 4 was a great evolution, that was made specifically as mature software tools and console specific to PS1, it showed the progression of the development team while also making little differences...

    Ridge Racer V is not just a day one launch game that unlike the first Ridge Racer in PS1 1994 Japan launch it was a return to the arcade style but evolved game play on a higher spec PS2.

    Sadly people who critisized it missed out on intense RR action..by not buying no

  • so, the secret to driving well in a Ridge Racer game is good handling?

  • @Poever No its skills dedication patience reaching that zone of euphoria as you have made every lap perfectly, kept your car straight as possible during straights with nerves of steel and a real sense of accomplishment.

    You gotta know this is a classic ninja skillz game, the first Ridge Racer on PS1 had no rearview mirror and yet I beat 13 Racing aka Devil Car.

    I also beat RR7 cannot do anything about nitrous, Fast and Furious movie overhyped it but I got 100% on RR7, I was RR8 PS3 only.

  • the music on the main menu of this game has a badass beat

  • I wonder what car it resembles...

  • OMG Boom Boom Satellites!!!

  • The announcer was Ken Ayugai and he hosts Japan Countdown.

  • That menu music... I just nostalgia'd so f***ing hard.

  • Ridge Racer V is actually a great game, better than Type 4 in some respects, you really have to play this game in hard mode with ALL of the cars to really appreaciate what namco did with this game that was technically not even taking full advantage of the PS2 since it was made as a CD-Rom format game instead of a DVD-Rom and had to make the launch schedule, had Namco not had to ship this game as a launch game and they would have made it as a DVD it would have been bigger

  • @7MGTESupraTurboA -Yeah, it is not short game, i remember unlocking new courses and secret cars after years i got it. -But you must play, play and play itto get most of it...

  • HAHA ...Dreamcast totally owns ps2!

  • @santiago262 NEVER ONLY SHENMUE UU

    ps2 has the better rol series in history of videogames

  • This game is OK, but it is inferior to R4 and RR64...

  • That bloody announcer.

    Good game though.

  • Good thing they brought Reiko Nagase back in later Ridge Racer games.

  • So this game is better than Sonic Riders.

  • Why?

  • I love in this game how you can upgrade your car to new level and it looks better each time and it gets faster!

  • 3:50 is cool music, anyone know where i can get it?

  • @david1991:

    The track name is Gammon, add watch?v=5zIKTqqk6h0&fmt=18 to the end of you YT url for the full track in HQ. : ) Then you just rip it if you want it as a .mp3 on your PC.

  • Cool thanks heaps :DDD

  • by the way its not need for speed, its another racing car game

  • Can someone please help me, im trying to find a racing car game but i dont remember the name, i dont remember if this one was the game, i just remember i guess i was from namco company the game and in the game when u driving the lights of the cars goes out like a laser, was the first racing games for ps2 its similar like this one but theres no light out in the car.

    Please if someone knows i would be grateful for life

  • @neversoft56 I remember this game (RRV) being the first game to see the headlights turn on when going into the tunnels.

  • @chinito77 i support your point but watch the replays and rigde racer 4 jeje its also happens

  • This was one of the first racing games on the PS2!

  • Bad anti-aliasing

  • bad anti-aliasing? LOL!! PS2 even didnt have anti-aliasing.

    It had "aliasing"

  • u gotta luv the classics!

    (this is my first comment using windows 7)

  • Graphics havent moved on much in 10 years from 99/09 not compared to 89/99 anyway.

  • I agree - don't know why you thumbed down. Fuck their opinion for what it's worth - nothing.

  • I'd say on the compute side it has moved on quite a bit. PC video cards from 96-06 prolly have over a 1000 fold increase in fill rate. To the observer though the shift from 2D sprites to 3D texture mapped polygons on the PlayStation has been the biggest jump in graphics in the home and I figure will always be the biggest jump in graphics.

  • Computers stopped getting faster though around 2002 due to power density issues but continue to become ever more functional, processing more data in parallel.

    We won't see compute increases as dramatic as in the 90's until we move onto more exotic technologies.

  • I can't belive even a game like this had a better racing feel to it, than the likes of GRID.

  • My most favorite racing game. Kamata Fiaro: my car.

  • the ffoundations ridge fm 76.5fm

  • damn this game is too rare. . .one of the first games too come out on ps2!

  • i Like All ridge Racer Game, But From The Music I Like Ridge Racer 4 Better, Especialy The Pearl Blue Soul ^_^

  • quiet curves and movin in circles is also quite good too :D

  • Yes2, The Music Keep Stuck In Your Head You Know, N For Some Reason I Find The Music In Ridge Racer 4 Could Be Very Relaxing...

  • nice game

    Is it biGG?

  • ridge racer 4 was my fave

    i completed it so many times

    this looks like a ps1 game graphics suck

  • man i loved this game when i had it. i love all ridge racers!

  • whats that song called when he's racing

  • oh the nostagia.. i remember when i was around 5-8 i would play a ridge racer, not sure which one, and loved it ._. and my mind has an odd image of a certain level i always played

  • This is nice. I was too young to do the Story Mode back then, so my bro did it...and I seriously want to go back to the game! xD

  • hypestation 2

  • The PS2 has been time tested and is hardly hype.

  • o yeah?

    why was it then that dreamcast had better games than the ps2 when it came out, why didn't the ps2 gave us 'toy story graphics' (sony's own words), why did many games have problems with jaggies, flicker, framerate, washed-out picture and why were there times when the gamecube and the xbox had better games than the ps2?

  • First of all Xbox was more powerful than than the PS2, DC, and GC. However good games are in the eye of the beholder. Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear are all game franchises exclusive to Sony I don't believe to be hype. If all you care about is the cleanest graphics you should go PC. I don't see where PS2 missed out on graphics with the games I own.

  • no, you missunderstood me

    I said why did the ps2 have worse games than the dreamcast when it came out, why were there better games on the gamecube and xbox at times and why didn't it deliver 'toy story graphics'?

    I also think super mario sunshine, ninja gaiden and splinter cell were better than the games you mentioned (only gran turismo was imo better than forza, because I dislike forza)

  • All manufacturers hype their consoles up. No console ever lives up to the hype not even the Wii. The N64 was supposed look like pre-rendered graphics only in real time. I guess Nintendo forgot to install the "awsome" that was supposed to pull that off. As I said, good games are in the eye of the beholder. I went with the system that had the games I wanted to play. Xbox had nothing for me. I have a GC for my must haves like F-Zero, Metroid, Waverace and...well that's about it.

  • R5. What can I say? Not as good as R4 or Rage Racer. Horrible announcer, crappy music, and just didn't feel like Ridge Racer. The intro was pathetic compared to Rage Racer and especially R4. It was good for a first generation title, but it was the most forgettable Ridge Racer ever.

  • UGH... The game looks cool and all,but the music sounds awful. Its like Nails to a chalkboard. Also the radio announcer sounds like a fucking idiot. Just the way he talks makes me feel like punching his face continuously to the point that it caves in. I can't believe they actually payed that guyed to be some kind of DJ announcer for the game.... pathetic.

  • I HATE the music in this game but the game is awesome.

    The music sounds like the game froze up

  • yeah! its a very good classic game!

    but which is better RRV GT4 Forza or PGR2?

  • on psp ridge racer was 100 times better!

  • mmm pixely

  • Electronic Gaming Monthly once said that RR V was the most pixelled up game ever on the ps2.

  • i fucking hate how you drive. DRIFT MORE DAMMIT! you barely drift at all

  • THE ANNOUNCER IS SHIT!

  • FUCKING THANK YOU! I hate tha fact you cant turn his ass off like you can in burnout takedown.....i just ordered this game from gamestop online for $2.99 used, cuz i got RR1 for PSP, and dammit i hate tha announcer! but tha game is dope as fuck!

  • RR4 was the best till RR7

  • I 've Played RR1 and 2, Rage Racer, Rave Racer, RR4 and this is the worst of them.

  • such an underated game i still love it and play it to this day just like all the other RR games

  • Play RR on the PSP, it has better gameplay, graphics and all the music from all the RR games.

  • oh yea...thanks...

    LIKE AS IF EVERYONE HAS A FREAKIN PSP LYING AROUND THE FREAKIN HOUSE TO PLAY THE FREAKIN RR GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yelling and being sarcastic)

  • um....yeah i got a psp and RR.....you cant afford 169 bux for a psp? then you aint a true gamer.

  • 1: you cant spell for shit.

    2: psp is more than a gaming system, its got: music, videos, pictures, games, internet, telephone, radio, camera and gps. if you have the money that is.

    3: you suck, ridge racer is fuckin fun.

  • iphone = $199

    psp = $169

    phone service for psp: 40 bux a year

    iphone: well, more than 40 bux a month for damn sure.

    psp gameplay beats tha shit out of those gay ass iphone games any way

    yer just gay, thats all ima chalk it up to...

  • like i say, i don't give a shit about portable gaming, couldn't careless. So give it a rest.

  • Dude, all your comments in this video are all whining about how portable sucks, and you say Ridge Racer is lame and you are watching it.

    I'd love to stuff a PSP into your mouth to knock it off. Just enjoy the fun on what's the PSP, Ridge Racer got.

  • yea thanks, pretty good whining i should say =D

    i didnt say portable sux, just that when it comes to racing car games i prefer to play it through the xbox or PS. I do like portabl games but just not ridge racer, i've played ridge racer on playstation2 and it sucks balls.

    im sure you sucks balls too =D haha

    i watched this game becuz ive played it on the PS2 and i thought that i should warn some ppl about the shittyness of this game thats all =D

  • Ridge Racer is all about fun in all the sides, esp. Racing game noobs.

    A great alternative after playing Test Drive, Gran Turismo, or Ferrari Challenge, and loosen up the seriousness of realism to some forgiving action.

    That's my peace.

    End.

  • the games i like are Outrun 2, juiced, forza motorsports, thats about it i think. but i dont play these games anymore cuz i sold them.

    i dont really play anything nowadays, except for Phase and sims pool for the ipod classic =)

  • It WOULDN'T have been one of the best arcade games, WOULDN'T have been a launch title for, let's see, the PS1, 2, 360 and PS3, and it WOULDN'T have been the best selling Japanese launch game for the PS3, if it were the "shittest raving game" you say it is. Also, learn to type in legible English, or just don't bother.

  • go fuck yourself, m in titled to my own opinion. So once again, go fuck yourself

  • You ARE able to have your opinion. It's just that your opinion hideously wrong.

  • i didnt say all the ridge racer games are crap becuz i havent played them all yet, i just said that this one sucks for the PS2.

    so go screw yourself

  • Just like R4 this game looks super easy!

  • i had this game for ps2 and i also had ridge racer 4 for ps1.

    they are normal games, nothing special.

  • r4 is the best

  • This announcer has the worst lisp I've ever heard.

  • i like its mem-stik symbol

  • the music sounds like the cd is broken, or dirty.

  • when you play it the graphics is better

  • this is called flash video it makes Uncharted look like a PS2 game.

  • @mighty950 What the hell no is not.

  • I didnt Like Ridge Racer 5. It was bad compared 2 R4

  • i love this loading screen! i wish it was on the ridge racer of the psp

  • I remember this game. I beat the whole thing on hard once. The Solare was my fav with manual trans.

  • i loved this game. especially because of the awesome cars you could unlock.

  • Ridge Racer V owns

  • except for rr4

  • Definitely. Ridge Race Type 4 was underrated IMO.

  • Me and my 9yr old still play RR IV

    ;-)
