Ridge Racer is an arcade racing video game named after the eponymous Ridge Racer video game series to which it belongs. Ridge Racer has been described as a 'compilation' of the series, featuring tracks, cars and remixed soundtrack from previous titles in the 1990s.

Released 12 December 2004 for PlayStation Portable by Namco. Rated E10+ by ESRB, 3 by PEGI.

Story

The core aspect of the entire Ridge Racer series is drift racing, that is traditional lap racing against opponents with the added twist of intentionally oversteering and sliding the car through sharp corners and turns, known as "drifting", which earns the player several bonuses during a race.

Game modes are World Tour, Single race, Time Trial, and Wireless Battle, which supports up to 8 player multiplayer over the PSP's ad hoc, Wi-Fi network capability (see PSP Wireless Networking for further information).

The game also features a Full Motion Video opening, that shows series mascot Reiko Nagase.
