Is Ridge Racer as bad as I remember? Retro Play Through on Sony Playstation (1994)
344Am I the only one that didn't like Ridge Racer?
I know I'm going to get shot down here, but when Ridge Racer first arrived I really didn't like it. I couldn't understand why everyone thought that the handling, especially how the cars powerslid, was so great. Had they not played Sega Rally?
As Ridge Racer approaches its 30th anniversary I thought it was time to revisit a game that was incredibly popular and find out if my memory of the game is warranted.

As a lifelong gamer, motorsport fan and occasional karter my gaming history is heavily biased towards racing games. From Chequered Flag on the ZX Spectrum through every major home computer and console since I've played and still own most racing games you care to mention.

They are on a mission to remove the barriers into motorsport and show that money and age should not stand in the way of the dreams of talented young....and old racers! I'm looking back at some of the games that were part of my journey leading to winning my pass at Prodigy Week via Street Kart Racing.
