Yeah I had no idea Critical Velocity even existed - a spin-off from the Ridge Racer series, it’s a PS2 open world racing/chasing/escaping game made as a side project to keep the main Namco racing team busy for a while. It’s a wonderful curio and I was happy to find out it exists.
Even if it is a solid 6/10 game. RIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRRRRRRRR
