Fun for a day, buy Gran Turismo instead

I'll start off by saying that the graphics, sound, and control in this game are top notch. The action is fast, the scenery is much more pretty than Gran Turismo, and it's very fun while it lasts. The problem is, it doesnt last very long. I went through it in a day and never wanted to play it again, whereas I played GT for a year before getting tired of it. Do yourself a favor, rent this one. There is a much better racer on PSX.

Great graphics

other than that, you'll play this game for a couple weeks with great interest, but it'll then get thrown on the shelf. You can only play through the Grand Prix so many times.

Good game overall though.

Ridge Racer type 4 is fantastic. The graphics are top notch. The soundtrack to this game is fantastic, with selectable music before each race. The girl in the FMV at the begining is even pretty hot. Lets face it the Ridge Racer is the origonal and still king of the playstation race games. Gran Turismo is just plain too complex to be any fun. You have to play Gran Turismo for hours before getting any good at it. Ridge Racer is just pick up and play, try it out!

Three Words: This Game Rocks! The graphics are ten times better than Gran Turismo 1&2. The controls are smoother than GT, and the cars dont spin like in GT(in GT the cars are made to be realistic, which includes spinning out of control). R4 is the funnest racing game ever. The tracks are awesome, the cars ar fantastic, and overall it's just great. This game is worth it, you'll like it better than GT.

Great Racing Action for the PSX

Impressive. That's a good adjective for this game, I believe. Ridge Racer Type 4 exhibits some really awesome graphics and wonderfully designed tracks. Unlike many racers I've played, Ridge Racer also has a really unique gameplay style to it. In order to succeed, you really must master the art of intentionally "fishtailing" your vehicle to get around the sharp curves. There is a lot of technique and finesse to be had here.

Did I mention the fantastic graphics? Not even the venerable Gran Turismo compares in the graphics department. The tracks are also designed to minimize the draw in effects off in the distance. As I played through this game, one thought prevailed in my mind. These programmers and game designers knew what they were doing, and they showcased their talents in this amazing game. If you must own one racing game for the PSX, make it Ridge Racer Type 4!

The Best of the True Ridge Racer Titles

And I say true Ridge Racer because I actually like Rage Racer slightly better than this. R4 is the first RR game to have analog support, but what really makes this game is the excellent track design. Unlike Rage Racer and Gran Turismo, you don't earn money to upgrade your cars, you just unlock cars. That's its only flaw in my book.

Those who are complaining about the quality of the graphics...drive faster.

Great graphics!

This game has the most impressive graphics that I've seen in a racing videogame. The sound of the cars is good. Great control of the cars.

A little cash, a lot of Value here, R4 Rocks!

Please trust me when I say the Ridge Racer R4 stomps Gran Turismo into the mud. Better graphics, better game play, easy to pick up and just a bunch of fun all around. Any one with a playstation must own this title, anyone!

THIS IS THE WORST GAME OF THE SERIES

THE GRAPHICS AREN'T TOO GOOD, THE CARS LOOK GREAT BUT ARE LOADED WITH MORE HANDLING PROBLEMS THAN EVER BEFORE, AND THE GAMEPLAY SUCKS. LET'S FACE IT, THE ONCE-GREAT RIDGE RACER SERIES IS NOW DEAD. AND THIS IS THE GAME THAT HELPED SEAL ITS FATE.

DUMB!
