    Good Game For A PS2 Launch Title

    By Ericthehammer76 | Review Date: Dec 28, 2011 | PS2

    Ridge Racer V is a decent racer for its time when it was released with the launch of the PS2 in 2000. The car models look fine (especially when changing the color schems on the body and decals), the graphics look nice f... Read Full Review

    ? What! No game length whatsoever

    By alexjpowell | Review Date: Nov 14, 2006 | PS2

    Great game, but no game length so it took me an hour to complete. Rushed out to get Namco a bit of money. What a waste of the £2 it cost me from Asda. I wouldn't thieve it from the back of a lorry. Utter piffle. Ot... Read Full Review

    Original and Fun

    By dev31_31 | Review Date: Sep 21, 2006 | PS2

    Yeh so what if you can't customize your cars, this game reminds me of the racing games at the arcade, and it is fun and the graphics are amazing for its time, it could have improved by adding damage, better smoke, and th... Read Full Review

    So its not Gran Turismo... But that might be what makes it one of my favorites.

    By deadman829 | Review Date: May 10, 2006 | PS2

    Ridge Racer has always been one of my favorite series. This game further cements that statement. People may say that GT is a better game. In most instances, it is. But when you don't feel like realistically driving an... Read Full Review

    Hardcore fans of the series may get a kick out of it,but everyone else would be better off waiting for something better.

    By terryprior | Review Date: Mar 04, 2006 | PS2

    This installment plays very much like the early Ridge Racers with slightly stiffer handling and a lot of variations of tracks all in the city this time out. The fact that you’re constantly having to go on different route... Read Full Review

    Garbage!!!

    By jamesmwhite | Review Date: Feb 25, 2006 | PS2

    After playing the Burnout series, this is a joke. It's worse than playing Top Gear for the SNES (though the graphics are nice). Annoying announcer, cars that are a bear to control, only TWO camera angles, etc. make th... Read Full Review
