Get your motor running, get out on the highway, looking for adventure, or whatever comes your way,
or so sang Steppenwolf in the seventies. You'd be hard-pushed to find
some adventure though in the fifth game of this bafflingly-successful series.
For those who haven't played before, you are the lucky ones for reasons that
will become clear during this review.
Ridge City is the place to be as you bomb around the track in your sexy, souped-up sports cars against
the clock and other drivers who will have you eating their dust given half the chance. Upon starting
the game, for which the initial selections available are a practice run or a Grand Prix, there are more
sub-game options than you can shake a stick at including difficulty selection, team and driver name
entries, team colour, music radio station, a choice of car, its colour, engine and transmission
(automatic or manual gearbox).
The first class in which you will enter is the Frontal GP.
Where Ridge Racer 5 fails and the tedium begins to set in is that once you've
done the first four tracks - which just provide variations along the same
highway - and you're set to move onto the next classes (Heroic, Blast, Knight
and Throne), you need new roads to race on and that's something you simply
don't get. It's just the same old thing again and again and again and that's
what put me off any other Ridge Racer game I've played in the series, hence if
you've never played one before then there will be an air of originality for
at least a short spell of time.
