R4: Ridge Racer Type 4

"Ridge Racer Type 4" is as the title says, the fourth game in the "Ridge Racer-series". The game is the best looking racing-game for the playstation. The graphics are perfect, the game runs in smooth high-resolution, there isn`t any pop-up(which means that scenery pops-up from nowhere) and there isn`t any slowdown. This makes "RRT4" look better than competitors like "Gran Turismo 2". "Gran Turismo 1 & 2" focused on being as realistic as possible, and that means realistic in terms of graphics and gameplay, and the gameplay found in "RRT4" is an "arcade-style" of gameplay(those who play racing-games will understand this). I find this kind of gameplay as an excellent alternative to "GT2". If you wonder which game of "GT2" and "RRT4" to buy, I`d say go get them both. "GT2" will last you longer, but "RRT4" is better in terms of track-design, action and it`ll let you drive tons of cars right-away instead of having to earn money as in "GT2".
