I love this game. I got it yesterday, and although I still havn't passed the first round, I find it very fun and it helps me get my stress out. The graphics are great, but I don't like the music or the anouncer. It's a great racing game, and you should at least try it out.

like to enjoy the thrill of speed

im not a gt3 fan because i like to just get in and drive...and this is what this game is about. get in and drive. infact this is the only way you will be able to own a car is to win series of races. this game can get a little boring..but also addictive.

Ok....ya

The ideal jaggerific racing expierience. Actualy, it's quite entertaining, and should not be overlooked, especialy by fans of the series.

Not the best game I've ever played, but still fun.

I just got my Playstation 2 last week and I've been renting as many games as I could get my hands on. Ridge Racer V was the best game I've played for the PS2 so far. I really enjoyed this game, and I think I'm gonna buy it. I gave it only four stars though, cuz it's not a great game but it is fun. I'm not really a racing game fan, but I liked this game. The announcer's actually kind of funny (in a stupid sort of way), especially when he mispronounces "comfort." The control's aren't that bad, although I've never played Gran Turismo, so I've got nothing to compare with. I got the hang of it by the second day. Sliding around the corners gets annoying sometimes, as you have to adjust to each cars individual handling abilities. This game brought me into the racing genre, and now I too am awaiting the release of Gran Turismo 3 in June.

Not the greatest

Compared to the other racing games avalible for the playstation 2 this one just doesn't match up. Granted it can be fun, but I would look into other games first

Ridge Racer V:Good graphics, Bad Gameplay and Bad Soundtrack

I got Ridge Racer V from my Playstation 2 package, and it was a good start for a racing game. The graphics are good, the city around looks some what real, and the cars look believeable. But this game lacks good gameplay. You could start the car at 5th gear, and computer players aren't good competitors. The game play is unrealistic. It doesn't even feel like you're driving a car. Replay is pretty cool, except that it doesn't show all of it. I don't really like the courses they have for you to race on. They all look the same, except for airport oval. I also think there should be more courses. Ugh, what is this music? The soundtrack is lousy, they need a decent soundtrack to listen to while driving. This game came out early with the Playstation 2, and it looks to me like they rushed it a bit. If the makers paid more attention to gameplay. I would say rent it first, and then if you like it, buy it. If you have Gran Turismo 3 already, don't bother.

This game just doesn't do it for me...

RR V came with my PS2 bundle so I can't say I wasted money on it. I was just happy to finally get a PS2. Anyway, the graphics are amazing as you would come to expect on the PS2 platform. The music is fantastic. There are some awesome techno tracks. The car selection is cool. You can even choose a little modified Honda Civic Hatchback. I have played this game for about two months, off and on as I get bored with my sports games (madden, fifa, etc...) and it is decent. I am not a big car racing person so I guess my review is a little more negative than most but this one just has more negatives than positives. I hate the following: 1) The announcer is lame. The whole deal is some radio DJ announcing the race coverage in a "So Cal" voice. I thought I had one of the members of Blink 182 in my TV...Dude! 2) The steering sucks. I like to have a car that hugs the curves not one that slides around like a pig in mud on a rainy day in July. 3) The car never gets damaged. I hit a wall going 110 and the car just slides off...wish my real car did that. 4) The game is hard, but hey I already told you I am not into car games. I will take you on in Madden any day of the week! My advise: Rent before you buy!

Not the best, but no bad

The graphic is excellent, I think any PS2 game should have that. It is too few cars to choose from and they are just clones, no real name here. In normal or hard mode, if you make a mistake while racing, it is almost impossible for you to win. After the first lap and you are not at least 5th rank, you should just quite and replay the track. Try easy mode and pick the Civic clone to start, it is more fun if you don't crash all the time. After all it is a descent game. If you want the best racing game, wait for GT3. If you want to have some racing fun right now, try RR5.

It's just like all the rest ...just better graphics

It's a cool game if you like driving games. There's really no suprises I think the programers need to play Gran Turismo a few times just so they can see how the handling should be.
