Ridge Racer V

[Diff-chan]

Ridge Racer V is a fucking amazing, blazing racing game, puts anything Sega ever did to shame, it just rules all.

If Namco could make a RR that combines RRV's gameplay and difficulty with R4's variety, you would have the uncontested best racer ever for all time. It would simply be impossible to top.

RR V is fantastic, but it's not quite the quantum leap for the series that R4 was. Definitely worth the $10 or so it goes for now though.

I remember buying RRV the day the PS2 launched, and staring anxiously at it on my shelf now and then in the week or two it took me to hunt down a PS2. When I played it, I can't really say it disappointed. It's a good game, a lot of fun to be had here.

It's no R4, though. Nothing is. Likely, nothing ever will be. Oh, and as much as I dig the JogCon, neGcon is far more conducive to better performance, I think. I have both and had a damn good time fucking around with both in R4, but I have to tell you, I've never used either in RRV. When I'm home for the holidays I think I'll toss it in my PS2 and rediscover it.

Every GS i have been through is packed with these, and sell for $5.99 or $6.99.

definitely get it, it easily ranks in the top 3 racers this generation. and it never goes for more than $10 used. fantastic game too when you consider the time they and circumstances the team had to develop the game.

Ridge Racer V is awesome. It was the first PS2 game I bought(not like there was much good selection at the time). It's a lot like Ridge Racer 1 in look and feel.

My PS2 sounds like it's going to explode when it plays it though. Damn blue disc games.

i have the same problem with it, but this is the only blue disc game i have that does it.

seriously, just an actual sequal to R4 would do. only game out there that would have a chance of beating R4 for best racer of all time.

Certiainly worth 5-10 dollars. Could do with a few more tracks, but not bad at all.

[Green]

It's worth the cheap price, but it's very short. It's definetly better than the original, but I don't think I'd place it ahead of Rage or R4. The announcer is lame. "Looks like he got too close for com-fort!".

[Diff-chan]

LOL I remember that.

I like it more than R4 because it's harder. R4 was too easy...

This is one reason why I liked PGR so much, because it reminded me of a tougher R4.

Initial D and Daytona are more fun than RRV for sure. I did like RRV, but I don't see what it has over Sega's best.

[Jeremy]

Nothing will ever top the original Daytona for me. Pure fun, with every part of every track being memorable. Same goes for Sega Rally. Frogacuda, I haven't heard much about Initial D, mind if I ask what's so fantastic about it?
