Ridge Racer is a game that has always sat very comfortably among those at the top of the league of racing games, and now it's back to assure its ranking amongst the next generation of high speed, high thrill titles. It has everything the previous Ridge Racers did and a whole lot more besides. Ridge Racer V is a model game to show off the pressure-sensitive analog buttons of the Dualshock 2 controller, giving the gamer even more exciting and responsive racing experience. The difference between winning and losing is now just a matter of the slightest touch of your thumb!

But that's not the only thing as the PlayStation®2's Emotion Engine really comes into its own here. Tyres smoke and sparks fly if you collide with the walls or other cars, and the passing scenery is even reflected in the highly polished bodywork and windscreens of the cars as you race around at a near impossible velocity. What ever you do, just don't get caught short of adrenaline!
