Everything about Ridge Racer: story and gameplay

A structured look at the narrative, game feel, and traits that define this game.

Story & context

The core aspect of the entire Ridge Racer series is drift racing, that is traditional lap racing against opponents with the added twist of intentionally oversteering and sliding the car through sharp corners and turns, known as "drifting", which earns the player several bonuses during a race. Game modes are World Tour, Single race, Time Trial, and Wireless Battle, which supports up to 8 player multiplayer over the PSP's ad hoc, Wi-Fi network capability (see PSP Wireless Networking for further information). The game also features a Full Motion Video opening, that shows series mascot Reiko Nagase.
