Ridge Racer Revolution
Review from the Net


If your friend has a PS, don't hesitate of getting a link cable and linking
RRR with him, I am sure you guys will have a lot of fun. I would say RRR is
the best within all the linkable driving games (such as Need For Speed,
Destruction Derby, and Wipeout). Because it is very smooth, there is no delay
or slow down (which happens on Destruction Derby). The music and graphics is
still very nice. The control is also very well. Other than that, if you link
RRR, you can choose not only all the RRR tracks, but you can also choose all
the tracks from RR(the previous version). Basically, if you link RRR with
your friend, you can play all the tracks from RR and RRR. Other than that,
you can play as mirror mode when you link with your friend. So that you and
your friend will be on the same track, but different images. Besides, you can
choose to race against your friend only, or race against your friends and
computer. If you wanna choose the extra cars in the link mode (if you don't
know how to access the extra cars, refer to the Hints/Cheats mode), you have
to choos the one player mode(by choosing one player mode, don't hit anything
as it counts down). Then you will be back to the normal screen. Load the
extra cars, and exit to the Title Screen, and choose the 2 Player Link Mode
again, and now you and your friends can choose the extra cars and even the
Secret Cars. Also, there is a Handicapp Mode, if you choose to have it ON,
the car behind will be faster. So, if your friend is ahead of you, your car
will be faster to help you catching up with him. It seems not fair, but it
makes the game a lot more exciting. One last thing, through the rear mirror,
try to block your friend as he tries to get ahead of you. I am sure you will
piss him off by blocking him a few times. Don't worry about being called
"CHEAP" by your friend, it takes a lot of skills to do that, and sure it is
fun; also it is a good practice as you need to block the Secret Cars in the
future. I am sure you guys will enjoy linking RRR together. If not, email me.
I think that's all I can say about Link Mode.
