I had a japanese copy of this game and its really hard to play when you cant read anything. The driving dynamics were kind of crappy but it looked so gorgeous. As far as looks go, i think this was the most visually appealing game ive ever played

Game was ahead of its time, now cel shaded games are expensive.

Apparently it plays like crap

What a throwback

I loved this. I had a Toyota celica all done up. Garage was full of all the collectable items. Loved the cell shaded style. My favourite racing game.

youtube recommended just might've given me the best suggestion ever. awesome video!

As pleasing as the cell shaded graphics is, the controls on the other hand is terrible. It's pretty wonky to control the car you driving.

I have so many memories of playing this game late at night on my PS2. In fact, I remember when the online of this game was promoted when the whole internet “Expansion Bay” that you had to screw in to the back of your PS2. Good times.

I would like Ridge Racer to comeback in this style, earning Namco merch for your garage would be great

Played on PS2 back in the day. Played great. You'd to get used to it's steering. With the cell shading I expected more burnout drift type steering but it's more grippy then that. Still not realistic but once you mastered it was lots of fun. Really enjoyed the twisty hill stages.

This looks amazing, I will totally try it out

this game and ridge racer 4 are some of the visually aesthetics and good soundtracks racing games of the 2000s

the eurodance with the Trueno intro is all I need in this game 😂

you're in the algorithm my friend

Thank you for the video!

Dude, I wish you knew how close we were to this game being the perfect arcade racer on the PS2.

I'm pretty sure if I play this with the friends on couch multi-player we will end up in a fist fight haha

You could customize a garage in Sega GT 2002 as well.

I love this game. I remember play it with steering wheel and pedals

Whats the eurobeat song?
