Oh man, me and my dad shared my PSP, and he played the hell out of this game. Probably completed 100% off it himself and I just messed around on easy mode. Good times.
Damn these graphics are absolutely spectacular for 2004 on a handheld console! I came here thinking the game wouldn't look as good as when I played it as a kid, I was wrong. The DS has nothing like this on it.
SovietAmerican Cat the DS it self was a very under powered console compared to the PSP and apparently that version is actually a remake of ridge racer 64! So yeah lol
DS had some pretty good looking games like Metroid Prime Hunters, but yeah, it couldn't hold a candle to the PSP, graphically. It was like something out of the future.
The thing that separated Ridge Racer from other racing games is the insane drifting. One wrong move and you'll be drifting to oblivion lmao. Its what made the game fun and challenging.
I played it when I was 6 years old... PSP was the coolest thing I've ever seen, but I just lend it from a friend. Ridge Racer was so cool and I wish I could play it again. After almost 9 years we are still good friends, so I will ask him again if I can play it on his PSP :)))
I remember playing this without knowing that u could drift and use nitro back when I was 5 or 6 when I didn't know how to read English or speak English.
The thing I like about this game (and RR2 for PSP) is that they are, in essence, the "Best of" games in the Ridge Racer series, much like RR64. The variety, versatility, and almost perfect learning curve offered in all three games make them, imho, the best games in the franchise.
Ok I'll put somting nearly cursed but curious. The girl, named Reiko Nagase, is mayor sister of Kei Nagase, Kei is of Ace Combat saga, deploved by Namco(now named Bandai Namco) and Proyect Aces, first apperrance, Ace Combat 4, as a wingman of AC5, and came as an Astronaut in AC7. And all the places in Ridge Racer are the same world of Ace Combat, called Strangereal, if someone are AC fan, if you running in Ridge Racer your running in Strangereal.
I played ridge racer when I was 8 years old and it was really fun. I also remember crying when I kept on losing the duel race with pacman. Good old times haha! I hope they will be releasing a newer version of this one in the future.
Hi. I don’t know if you respond but thanks for that flashback. I’m only 15 years old but played this game so badly when I was 5. This music and these cars bro it’s so sad that it’s just for PSP. If it would come out for PS4 i would directly buy it. Thanks for your time!
I remember i had game without any music or videos. I guess it was because it was written as .cso and i exchanged my gta vcs disk to memory card with this game
Not a bad game I had Need For Speed underground rival's on the psp well I still have it but never knew about this game until now just ordered it a few hours ago brand new I paid $12 on eBay along with NBA Live 08 price for that one I paid $9.99 brand new
@ tyrantofBodom, yes it was a real game but way before your time. it was at the arcades in the early 1980's. it was way harder than it looked to play. I believe it was like 1980-1982 when it came out and I used to play it all the time. ooops I just dated myself. lol
Do you guys think this has better graphics than R4's??? I was just playing it on my PS3 and man, it still lives up. Somehow, the shadows and lighting seemed better but it was very choppy while this feels so smooth to play and cleaned up visuals.
This game is definitely awesome, I even managed to pick up the japanese version in an american game store, lucky huh? There is also ridge racer 2, which is an expansion to the first, but the best thing about 2 is that it included all the tracks from RR, RRR, Rage Racer and ridge racer type 4, it just makes the installment more complete than the first in my opinion, and the only different thing about the two is the different special cars, great games nonetheless.

My childhood in 15 minutes
same here. saaaame here.
same
Same here
same
same here
The soundtrack is freaking awesome.
The graphics are freaking awesome
For 2004, especially PSP it’s more than awesome
I love
Even the PS3 version and it's 2023 I got this game yesterday when my cousin bought me this for this cool game also very difficult to brake tho
Used to play this every day when I was 7 years old. Now im 18.
Brage Andersen Me too!! from Japan
Same. I remember how I'd swerve around in straights to stack up the nitrous.
The nostalgia.
Same man, bout to be 21
I love it as well, first time played on Demo Disc when I was like 10,now I’m 26
same as me except now I have 11
This was my first PSP game. Some goooood memories.
Same!
me too. good times
same, nostalgia
Yes
Bro sameee it came with the psp
"It's Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIIDGE RACER!"
Even for an early PSP title, DAMN. This game knew how to live it up.
Whenever i get back home i immediately get my psp and turn it on to play this
Its so fun
This video touches my soul with nostalgia
Oh man, me and my dad shared my PSP, and he played the hell out of this game. Probably completed 100% off it himself and I just messed around on easy mode. Good times.
Even got namco new rally x car?

PSP was revolutionary for portable devices not just video games, there was nothing like it until the iPhone in 2007
David Curry but its too expensive buy that time also...
And it looks way better than the 1993 Arcade that cost thousands. Insane a Handheld can have a superior looking game in 11 years.
DS had some pretty good looking games like Metroid Prime Hunters, but yeah, it couldn't hold a candle to the PSP, graphically. It was like something out of the future.
I’m only 15 but still getting mad nostalgia from the soundtrack
Ay yo now you are 18 you still here ?
The thing that separated Ridge Racer from other racing games is the insane drifting. One wrong move and you'll be drifting to oblivion lmao. Its what made the game fun and challenging.
There's a game called Go vacation, that has a game mode called street race, that looks EXACTLY like this.
Thank you so much for posting this the nostalgia is making me want to cry
No problem; thank you for watching!
I played it when I was 6 years old... PSP was the coolest thing I've ever seen, but I just lend it from a friend. Ridge Racer was so cool and I wish I could play it again. After almost 9 years we are still good friends, so I will ask him again if I can play it on his PSP :)))
I cleared this game 2 times ( hard) and now in 2016 i want play Ridge Racers for the 3 time:)
The ticking of the clock in the intro just brought back so many memories, it's crazy
This just gave me flash backs to when i would just play this for hours on end
I remember playing this without knowing that u could drift and use nitro back when I was 5 or 6 when I didn't know how to read English or speak English.

best game is R4 Ridge Racer Type 4
this start reminding me of Tekken 5 when there is a Mini Game before starts the actual game
What is the drift technique? Do you release the acceleration button or do you push the brake?
2004,lots of mobilephone is gray display,but psp gave me a exciting.
The fuck...
I played this after 7 years and I loved this
RIIIIIIIDGE RACER!

who else randomly remembered playin that game on his psp in his childhood and wanted to look it up
I just put it on a tablet and playing with it attached to dualshock 4 its badass
I played ridge racer when I was 8 years old and it was really fun. I also remember crying when I kept on losing the duel race with pacman. Good old times haha! I hope they will be releasing a newer version of this one in the future.
I loved this game on the PlayStation
Like if you also wanted to catch the plane
Soundtrack 🔥 and nostalgia hits too hard.
My childhood when i was junior high school in 2009. I play this game on PSP.
I swear Im not crying, my eyes just sweating…
I used to play this game when i was 8 years old. I'm 19 now and this has unlocked so many memories

Hab das auch bei meinem Bruder auf der PSP gespielt als ich 6 oder 7 war haha. Diese Sounds im Menü bei der Auswahl geben krasse Flashbacks
What a gem this was and still is.
This js literally one of those games that you remember as a kid that's smooth and advanced until you get to see it again after a decade and a bit.
Wish they would make a portable ps5 with a 7inch screen, that would be incredible
The engine sound was fu***ng epic
the drift at 12:16 holyy
THE MEMORIES OMG😭😭
memories
The rubber banding and BS AI. So many memories
jesus christ i used to play this game everytime i was outside, took my psp everywhere. played gran turismo too

9:51 ridge racer drive U2 remix
Awesome music, effects, looks fun.
I miss the psp

Thanks for uploading on youtube.
Awesome game. Which car was your favourite one to drive? Mine definitely was the Gnade Esperanza :D
Mine was the Age Abeille.
Nostalgic overload
I wish I never brought my psp to school because that's where it got stolen
So much regret
Man I love the announcer here!

Прощай легенда:( я о тебе буду скучать:(
This one my favourite games
the nostalgia of this game
なつかしい！！
そうそうリッジレーサーのドリフトはこういう強引な感じなんだよね！
あと実況のYou gonna teach me!!!が未だに忘れられない。
Late comment, but honestly this was where I started to like drifting in all of the other driving games
it's like a remaster of the playstation games maps, really awesome
I miss this game.
I have this game and psp I have
My first game in my life :(
My childhood.
I remember i had game without any music or videos. I guess it was because it was written as .cso and i exchanged my gta vcs disk to memory card with this game
I played this game my entire childhood but I somehow lost the card thingy to my psp ;-;
The memory stick? If yes then how about get the PPSSPP emulator? I promise you won't lose the memory stick there
Not a bad game I had Need For Speed underground rival's on the psp well I still have it but never knew about this game until now just ordered it a few hours ago brand new I paid $12 on eBay along with NBA Live 08 price for that one I paid $9.99 brand new
Great game
This game was like a NFS sequel 😍
Ah yes the f1 pacman thingy nostalgic
my childhood omg
Waw it brings memories
Ridge racer or ridge racer 2
Which one is better??
first
ridge racer 2 update verison of 1 game. Has tracks from most ridge racer games (unlike city tracks from RRV )
ridge racer is better because they would make it rubbish if they update it
@nprbum R4's intro was the bomb and the best in the series for me.
My childhood
Damn this is such a throwback I'm gonna have to download this now
OMG really miss this game
LOVED this game. Found it for $5.00 when I got my PSP. One of the better games in the series IMO. Not to mention the music was awesome too.
just imagin a remake for ps5
this game is still fucking beautiful
Remember that one?
OMG old is gold 💔💔
love dis game
Amazing racing game! :)
is ridge racer or ridge racer 2 ?
Get your eyes checked you blind idiot
@ tyrantofBodom, yes it was a real game but way before your time. it was at the arcades in the early 1980's. it was way harder than it looked to play. I believe it was like 1980-1982 when it came out and I used to play it all the time. ooops I just dated myself. lol
This looks as good as asphalt 8 to be honest
Nostalgia
Do you guys think this has better graphics than R4's??? I was just playing it on my PS3 and man, it still lives up. Somehow, the shadows and lighting seemed better but it was very choppy while this feels so smooth to play and cleaned up visuals.
Such nostalgia
Where is mg crazy wife?

Yes, it's a real game. It's Rally-X (or more specifically, it seems like "New Rally-X").
Isn't it a track from Type 4?
Dude the nostalgiaaa
I was play this game from 8 years old now I am 15 years old
Woah did this game came out before ridge 6 or after? It looks very similar!
3:37 sweet, I just beat Opus 1 with that machine!
ahh the nostalgia~
I missed the PSP Ridge Racer one *MY CHILDHOOD THO*
