Ridge Racers 2 Released for PSP

[wraggster]

New version of the awesome racing game:



Ridge Racers 2 contains 24 courses found in its predecessor, as well as all the courses until R4, to make a total of 42 courses, a record high for the series. Not only drifting feels so thrilling, but the operation is still so easy and simple, and the graphical changes are refreshing as well. Exterior appearances like courses and cars are not only realistic but the sensation of speed has also been increased. In addition, another feature of Ridge Racer is the temporal use of nitro to accelerate after accumulating sufficient charge from drifting. Using this, not only can the winning gap be widened within a short while, but one can also turn defeat into victory in critical times.



Ridge Racers 2 for PSP™ is available today as Japanese language Version Asia release at US$ 42.90 only. The Japanese Version is expected later this week, an English language Version Asia release is on preorder to ship later this year at a yet unconfirmed date. Also on preorder is the Ridge Racers 2 Direct Audio soundtrack album.

I hope it supports an update that Devhook can work around to run it on 1.50.

I preffer the Gran Turismo series to this any day, but I've always been a fan of the arcade style racers like Ridge Racer...I'm probably getting this, since the first one was kinda limited.

The little map is one of Namco's really old games, so it's probably homage to that...I guess it pops up to warn you that sombody's tailing you...I think it's crap too.

I've been a fan since I first played the classic in the arcade. When I found out it was a psx release title it made me preorder my psx. Ridge Racers made me order my japanese psp at launch. A sequel to this game is what I've been waiting for. It might not be the best racing game but to me it's the most fun. I just wish they'd bring the old announcer back.

You mean..."My Grandmother can drive better than you!!!!"

That guys a riot...But I would preffer if they had an option to shut him up, cuz it gets annoying sometimes.
