Ridge Racers 2 Review

PSP News from N4G | Ridge Racer 2

PSP - Ridge Racer 2 - Ridge Racers 2 Review

Nitrous boosts have been added. There's also a large number of cars to earn, plus a Rally-X minigame. The problem here is that all of these features were already available in the first Ridge Racers. Ridge Racers 2 doesn't feel like a sequel, but rather, an upgrade to the original title, only offering a small number of new features and some more courses.
