Pictures by Namco Playstation 2? Yes boys and girls, if you've had a chance to go to Japan lately Playstation 2 is out. It's very sleek looking encased in it's black housing. With the worlds most advanced processor, DVD, and Dolby Digital 5.1 this is the hottest console systems ever to come out. Well the first racing game to review, is Ridge Racer 5. This Game has a very cool intro, and music sound track. The menu system looks like it was done in flash. |

As with Tradition, There is a girl that goes with the Ridge Racer Series. We found that this girl was not as hot as say Lara Croft, but hey you won't ever see me drooling over a video game chick. |
| I feel that this game is pretty much a demo of just partially what the Playstation can do. The graphics are of course hot with fully rendered 3D capabilities, perfect scrolling capabilities and of course a great sound track. It may change when the english release comes out. This is almost a remake of the original Ridge Racer 1 for Playstation. The tracks are almost identical. The cars are of course way better looking. Playability is pretty smooth too. It's not super hard to turn the cars and you can of course drift pretty nicely. |
