This game is truly a classic! But I can't be the first reviewer. That is just ridiculous! Must be a mistake by Amazon.
I will give this game high marks. Really hits the nail on the head!
Great game!

I read the reviews, and thought to myself "There cannot possibly be a bad Ridge Racer".
After playing R4 for years, and still playing it occasionally, I popped in RR5... and wanted to bash my head into the desk. Repeatedly. While on fire.
The game is nice, graphically. As an older title you can't expect much now, but the game holds its own well. The nail in the coffin, however, is the gameplay.
Now, imagine Gran Turismo. It's a fun game because it has realistic handling, real life cars, and you have a sense of accomplishment when you earn your money to customize your car.
Now take R4 - amazing powersliding, great handling, response was killer - you had no real customization when it came to the cars, but you didn't care because the game was, well, FUN!
Combine the worst of the two series and you get this.
BAD HANDLING - Grip or Drift, it doesn't matter. If you're playing drift expecting the R4 fun, you are in for the biggest letdown since Daddy told you Santa Claus died in a shootout in Mexico in '72. Have fun fighting the car. In Soviet Ridge City, car drives YOU - INSANE!)
THE ANNOUNCER - Good god, man, don't you ever shut up!? Where is my god now!? D:!
BAD COURSES WITH NO SOUL - Remember Out of Blue, Helter Skelter, etc? These tracks took them out back in a dark alley and beat them up and left them there to die. Bad tracks, bad!
SOUNDTRACK - I'm no Boomboom Satellites hater, but they have one good song on this soundtrack. Ugh. Everything is too hard for a racing game. Take a page out of R4's book and use melodic trance. Hire Andain or something. Or Depeche Mode*, but that'll never happen. Haters :(
A good rent if you have a lot of money and time to spend. A bad game for everything else.
* This review is probably null because I like Depeche Mode. Sue me. :D
