Well...what happens a lot with this game is that people dont take the time to really play it...at least get a proper feel to the game(and not just play 5 rounds and quit..=P)..if youve only played the older Ridge racer games(revolution)...this game is way differnt...cars handle very differntly from the older RR's...they have GRIP cars and DRIFT cars...but..its very similar to RR Type 4.....However i gave it 4 stars because of the fact that it IS TOO similar to RR type 4...but its still worth buying..the whole presentation of the game is totally differnt..it is unlike any other racer i have ever seen...you can tell this game has quality right off the bat...as an arcade racer it beats the heck out of any GranTurismo game...what people have to keep in mind is that ridge racer is meant as an Arcade style racer and not a simulation like what GT offers..so i really dont see why people compare the 2 games soo much even though they are very differnt...so if you love arcade style racing games..this is a must have...or of your new the the genre this is a good title to start off with.

If you're looking for realistic, simulation driving, go get Gran Turisimo 3 A-spec. If you want great arcade racing, get this. Loaded with power sliding, impossible physics, no car damage and limited brake use, the gameplay feels a lot more like being in a movie than in a car. Overall, it is my favorite racing game, next to GT3. Although extras are sparse, gameplay is pretty good and it's entertaining. Now with GT3, there's little reason to get RRV, but it remains a good game on the system. It was certainly one of the best at release. But it does feel good to powerslide at high speed after failing licence tests in GT3.

I had never played any of the other Ridge Racer games, so when I bought this title for the PS2, I expected something like the PS1 Gran Turismo series. I was right in terms of graphics, but it's a disappointment otherwise.
The tracks zoom by at an awesome rate of speed, and the lighting effects are top notch. If I could rate the game on graphics alone, I'd give it a 5 star rating.
However, the one aspect of the game that irritated me the most was the announcer. Anyone familiar with the cultural differences between Japan and America would understand why the radio DJ in the game is horribly out of place. The voiceover is of a guy supposedly on the radio talking about the race and occasionally making a comment or critique. He'll often "That was CLOSE!" when you narrowly miss hitting another car.
But there's one moment early on when the announcer talks about how there are multiple racers racing in races all over Ridge City (How's that for alliteration?), and that we (the radio listeners of Ridge City) should "give all of them our full support."
Our what? What American-based game would have this kind of cheesy, communal camraderie between its citizens? None. We're the country of the hard-edged and arrogant, finger-flipping, competitor. The trash-talking capital of the world is right here in the U.S., baby! The Japanese value their sense of community, which is all well and good for them, but it feels Pollyanna-ish and cutesy in the States, and it was quite irritating to me.
At any rate, this is not a horrible game, but I expected much more from it. It has rather mediocre gameplay, which surprised me, and it's certainly not a title you should run out and buy. If you have a PS2, (Lucky, lucky us, huh?) then I'd suggest that you wait until the next Gran Turismo game. It will make this game seem like it's standing still by comparison.

This game is nothing to get excited over, but it's not horrible either. The graphics are ok, but they don't compare to other launch games such as madden and ssx. Basically, I would say this game is about equal to Gran Turismo 2 for playstation. If you don't own this game, I would recommend waiting for Gran Turismo 2000 to come out instead of rushing out to get this one.

The RR series has always been sort of self-explanatory. Realistic looking cars in a realistic environment, but playing like an arcade racer. No great amount of depth (like the Gran Turismo series) but not quite as cartoony as Beetle Adventure Racing or Top Gear Overdrive.
This is just more of the same. Is it the best looking RR ever? Yeah, and it should be, given that its the only PS2 version of the bunch. And, truth be told, it should look better. It does score above-average marks in the style department, but the highly Japanese flavor to it might turn off some gamers. Basically it is what it is: another Ridge Racer game. Type 4 was good for PSX, and a lot of people expected more from this one, but didn't get "the next level" of RR games, just another in a series.
If you want a decent racing game, wait for Gran Turismo 3, or if you've been a RR devotee, then by all means go for this one. For most gamers it's a "been there, done that" kinda thing.

This was the first game I played with the PS2, and it immediately put me into a panic. I felt like I wasted a lot of money on the PS2 for graphics & performance & game complexity that aren't at all apparent in Ridge Racer V. This is a simpistic game with graphics that you'd expect to see on the original Playstation. Luckily, I loaded up Madden 2001 next and was treated to some of the advanced capabilities of the PS2. If you must have this game, buy it used. Do not spend the full 50 bucks for a new copy.
