Ive noticed that every time anyone is struggling with drifting in any ridge racer game, they all tend to be using the external car view. I find it much easier to drift and generally play ridge racer in the "first person" mode where u dont get distracted by your own car wobbling about.

Interesting! I could see that! I'll keep it in mind if I get around to playing another. I don't own any other versions at the moment, beyond the PlayStation Classic version on that mini console. Though I heard that version isn't great. I think a local game store had an import copy of Rage Racer the last time I visited, though.

Yes!! I noticed this also, and I have been playing ridge racer since the very first one came out on PlayStation, but I discovered it before the PlayStation came out in the arcade as a 10-year-old!! Every single ridge racer game, I play it in first person view !!!! It’s the main way to a Ridge racer and the game does not feel right at all behind the car in third person ?! This is especially bad in Rage Racer, my favorite game in the series!

Ridge Racer DS is a port of the RR64 - Ridge Racer 64, wich was an adaptation made by Nintendo of the Original Ridge Racer games by Namco on the PSX (with Ridge Racer and Revolution tracks to be precise) and some extra tracks and cars made and adapted by Nintendo. Ridge Racer announcers are based, they can be surprisingly motivating and can give you a heads up for oncoming racers (In Ridge Racer 4, the announcer says "Take care of this loser!!!" when you are in second place and close to the first place racer. Ridge Racer 3, 4 and 5 are probably better than this game (it's all about controls and presentation with these games) but this game gives you one of the better adaptations of the first 2 PSX games since those didn't age really well. Great video for a Newbie!

Thanks! Yeah I might check out some more of them in the future, but unfortunately I don't stick around one franchise very long unless I really fall in love with it lol. This DS entry was pretty alright though! If I do play something, It'll probably be one of the later console ones I think.

Just played Ridge Racer Type 4 through emulation and that plays pretty well. I remember playing the PSP game a lot back in the day and don't remember it being all that frustrating. The gameplay here looks way too fast and twitchy to properly control the cars. It makes F-Zero look slow. Haha.

I think the game gets faster and faster on higher difficulties, so there is a very real possiblity i focused on gameplay from later in the game lol. But yeah the game really gets going at some point. I recently popped my PSP back out so maybe I'll keep it in mind!

Getting out of the drift state in Ridge racer games is tied to the counter steer and your timing with that!! If you do not counter steer, damn near perfectly at the moment you need to, you can get stuck drifting back-and-forth, and this work against you .. Ridge racer is easier while, it is harder ! Old-school ridge racer games, the day rage racer, it was the hardest in these games because if you did not do it perfectly you also got bogged down as the car would shift down into the next gear, this would cause you to lose all your RPM, resulting in further loss of speed… Thankfully, over the years they smoothed this out and easiest versions to play the PSP game and the Nintendo 64 version of this DS GAME!

@@OneControllerPort I had never played ridge racer 64 until just recently, and I was pleasantly surprised that it is one of the smoother controlling games?!! The PSP game and the one they released on Vita are the best that I have played but the 3DS game is pretty close to the PSP game and control is really good also! I like rage racer the best because each car had like 3 or 4 stages of Modification, making it faster as well as making it Look waaay Cooler!! They had some of the coolest cars in that game once you maxed them out! I remember I really liked the Lowrider truck once you maxed it out. It had the engine sticking out of the back of the bed.!!

@@OneControllerPort no because I play all Ridge racer games with the D pad.. Some people might play with the analog stick, but the game was designed originally only using Dpads, as the OG PlayStation didn’t have Sticks yet.. but either way I think it plays the best with the Dpad?

You can navigate through corners without drifting by keeping on the gas and pressing the brake to help you slow down and turn. Works in all four ps1 titels if the drifting is to iffy. It seems tho this game is much more forgiving than the third game in the series, "Rage Racer". Could you do a review on "ridge racer 5" for the ps2?

Your more patient with the game than i am, i just got it and am not enjoying it at all. The constant running into stuff is really off putting for me, the racing has no flow.. If you ever get chance try Hot Wheels beat this! On DS a waaaaay more fun and addicting game. An excellent DS racer. Ashphalt is quite janky but still pretty playable, i prefer it to this. Haven't played Ashphalt 2, though it's regarded as being a good bit better tgan the 1st game. Happy gaming! 🐒
