Unquestionably the definitive version of the original RR.
Splices the best bits of RR and RR2 perfectly as well as adding inspired refinements (LAN multiplayer, hidden cars, etc.).
Personally I wholeheartedly concur - link up mode alone (especially with wheels/pedals) was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The other additions were just a bonus.

Yeah still play the OG a fair bit, it just looks sounds and feels amazing.was lucky to have the full scale down in pompey, tho it was a bit **** to play heh.
Genuinely havn't bought a Sony console since PS3 as no Ridge Racer at launch.
Special shout outs to RRR and RR7.

I know we're not there in the thread yet but whatevs. I hadn't played a Ridge Racer until someone in the office got an import PSP and it blew my face off. Waking it up from sleep and instantly seeing an amazing looking 3D game on a handheld was amazing.
Immediately ordered one and a copy of Ridge Racer. Superb game. Amazing game still play it occasionally now.
Imported RR6 for the 360 and loved that. Gorgeous menu presentation and sublime arcade handling. Got RR7 a couple of years ago and had a cracking time with it.
I really want a RR on modern consoles. A straight port or backwards compatibility would be fine. I just want one at my fingers tips ready to go on every platform.

I even went as far as to purchase the sequel Ridge Racers 2 and the soundtrack CDs for them both.
The thought of acquiring another PSP occasionally crosses my mind and the Ridge Racers games are a big part of that.

It was a great little launch period for the first few months. Some cracking launch games, RR6 just after, DOA4 after that then in March it was GRAW and Oblivion. Every console since then has struggled to have as good a launch line up and then have consistent releases for the next few months.

Ridge Racer, still so supreme in terms of gameplay and has my favourite track in gaming.
Revolution was better perhaps but more frustrating. But it had more! Tbh it would be the ideal version of the original track was available outside of link mode. Shame.
Shame Rave was missed out and it was its own thing!
