Good graphics, but unrealistic driving.

Anyone who is use the the driving characteristics of Gran Turismo will surely be disappointed with this game. The control over the car seems more controlled by the "team" or choice of car than anything to do with your input while driving. While the graphics are great I do not think it makes up for the lack of car control and realistic driving that many have come to expect from a racing simulator after having played Gran Turismo.

Wonderful

Even though you can't compare the style of racing to Gran Turismo, you can compare everything else. First off, the graphics. Gran Turismo or R4? R4 definately. Because the cars are made up, they are different looking adding futuristic elements to the game. The tracks are gorgeous, with wonderful lighting effects and a quick framerate. The songs are also better. Just as Need For Speed: High Stakes has a large soundtrack, so does R4. Gran Turismo only has 3 measly songs... Not comparing, but I love arcade style racing. Hold the gas until the last second and then powerslide. No braking. A great game

BOOO!

Yes,this game does have great graphics and a very high framerate but you'll only enjoy it for about a week then you'll throw the game away. Here is why.

First .....................They claim to have over 300 but they only have about 50. Each one just has 5 different paint jobs.

Secondly trying to get all the cars would be monotonous and boring. You wold have to do the Grand Prix over and over until the end of time.

My Final reason is that the way the cars turn is completley unrealistic. Gran Turismo has way better car physics

Lousy

This game is terrible. I read a review in a gaming magazine which stated the game was comparible to Gran Turismo. What a joke. This game stinks. The gameplay is terrible, it in no way resembles real driving. I purchased and returned this game within the same day.

DUMB!

This game has the most impressive graphics that I've seen in a racing videogame. The sound of the cars is good. Great control of the cars.

A little cash, a lot of Value here, R4 Rocks!

Please trust me when I say the Ridge Racer R4 stomps Gran Turismo into the mud. Better graphics, better game play, easy to pick up and just a bunch of fun all around. Any one with a playstation must own this title, anyone!

THIS IS THE WORST GAME OF THE SERIES

THE GRAPHICS AREN'T TOO GOOD, THE CARS LOOK GREAT BUT ARE LOADED WITH MORE HANDLING PROBLEMS THAN EVER BEFORE, AND THE GAMEPLAY SUCKS. LET'S FACE IT, THE ONCE-GREAT RIDGE RACER SERIES IS NOW DEAD. AND THIS IS THE GAME THAT HELPED SEAL ITS FATE.

Fun for a day, buy Gran Turismo instead

I'll start off by saying that the graphics, sound, and control in this game are top notch. The action is fast, the scenery is much more pretty than Gran Turismo, and it's very fun while it lasts. The problem is, it doesnt last very long. I went through it in a day and never wanted to play it again, whereas I played GT for a year before getting tired of it. Do yourself a favor, rent this one. There is a much better racer on PSX.

Great graphics

other than that, you'll play this game for a couple weeks with great interest, but it'll then get thrown on the shelf. You can only play through the Grand Prix so many times.

Good game overall though.
