Not Bad for its first try on PS2. It was the first game ever made for the PS2.
The graphics are well done for its first attemps for a PS2 mostly you own Ridge City and you can also choose music to fit your mood.
I like the Ridge Racer series because its fun, challenging and lots of cool cars but Ridge Racer 5 is less fun then the last one Ridge Racer Type 4(Which was Brillient on PS1) You'll end finishing this game in a few hours but still fun playing Multiplayer with your friends.
