I heard that the graphics were as good as Gran Turismo so I was excited to play this game. Needless to say, my sources were wrong. GT2 on the PS1 has better graphics, just a little slower frame rate. But the real disappointment in this game is the lack of feel in the cars. The physics are that of the original Pole Position on Atari. I am a real driving enthusiast and this game is not up to my standards, or the standards of PS2. And I also concur that the music and announcer get old fast.

Fun racing game

It's good fun racing, and a change from some of they hyper real racing environments. A really nice video game, in the truest sense of the word.

Treat yourself.

This is not a game that promises to change the way you spend your life, nor is it 'the greatest visuals, graphics, etc.' but straight forward entertainment, though I have to point out that the graphics are much nicer than many other games'. This will not hurt your eyes, I promise. Have fun.

No, No, No... Go away

I'm owner of titles as SSX, Madden 2001, FIFA 2001, Tekken and Ridge "..." Racer. And I cannot even stand see the box of the game. I had been played it a few times and its no fun, if you had play Gran Turismo before. This game is a complete waste of time and I will trade it or sell it soon. It had nice graphics but the game play ... big time. My recommendation to you is stay FAR away from this game and wait for Gran Turismo 3.

uninteresting game-play

i am a female who likes racing games. ridge racer v, however, turned me off from the start. what has the animated girl got anything to do with the actual game-play? i might have coped with the sexist bias of the game design if only the rest of the game didn't bore me to tears; but they sure seemed to have spent a lot more effort in rendering the girl than do a good job for the real part of the game. i also found the physics of the simulation unconvincing. guess i'll just have to wait for gt3.

Where are the graphics?

I am very dissapointed with this game. I thought that maybe playing it a lot would make me like the game but no. It has poor graphics. All the cars are the same what changes is only the motor so you can't identify the cars. This game is a bit boring. But I'm thinking to change for DOA2: Hardcore. Before I got Ridge Racer 5 I had Midnight Club but that is the worse game ever made by human.

Great graphics, fun, but not enough tracks

If this game had more than 4 tracks, it'd be #1 in my book. Enough said!

The PS2 has no antialiasing problem...

There has been a lot of confusion regarding the PS2 and antialiasing problems. The truth is that the "ridged" polygon sides are actually a shimmering artifact from the fact that the first developers really didn't know how to develop for this system. Aparently, Sony has already released bits of code to quickly fix this problem (aparently it can be fixed within a day, or so I've heard) I have yet to play RR5, but please don't review it if you havn't played the US release. Also, like I said, the PS2 doesn't have an "antialiasing" problem, just a polygon alignment problem; this problem should have already been nipped in the bud. The PS2 is actually capable of full-screen antialiasing. I look forward to seeing what Namco has done with their US translation, but until then, I can't comment on how fun this game actually is. Sorry! :)

Don't waste your money.

I wanted something to fill in the time before GT3 came out. I feel cheated. The music is lame. The cars are lame. The tracks are lame. The cars don't act right. This was a total waste of my time and money. I tried to leave the blank in the rating field but Amazon wouldn't let me, so I gave it one star.

Boring -- not enough tracks.

This game looks great but is boring...I mean, really boring. I'll take Gran Tourismo or Driver on PS1 anyday over this one.

Aliasing is not Namco's fault

The aliasing observed in this game is an artifact of the PS2 and not the Namco game that runs on it. We'll have to wait to see if the PS3 solves the problem.
