My favorite PS1 game is also one of my favorite racing game.
The title is called "R4 Ridge Racer Type 4"
Front Cover:
Why is it my favorite? It's because of its style. It's different from any other racing games. Also this is one of my first racing games that I have ever played since I was just a kid. The graphics is good during its debut in 90's. The game play is a smooth 30 frames per second. The game is not that hard as long as you memorize the course and being good at taking those corners.
I also love the grand prix mode because you have to choose 4 different teams. Also the team you choose also effects the difficulty in the game and the performance of your car . The four teams are "Team Mappy" having the easiest difficulty. "Pac Racing Club" has a normal difficulty. "Racing Team Sovalou" has a hard difficulty in the game. Finnaly "Dig Racing Team" has the hardest difficulty in the game. After you choose a team you have to choose one of four car manufacturers to use in the race. The goal is simple; you have to win the championship.
Another thing there more than 300 cars in this game to unlock. This adds the replay value of the game. I also love the soundtrack in this game. It's very good to listen and it fits the atmosphere during a race. But there is only one downside. Every time you bump your opponent or a wall; you slow down quickly. It can be irritating at times when you try to pass your opponent suddenly you to a wall then slow down very quickly. That's the only thing I don't like in this game.
Overall I love this game even now I'm still playing it on my emulator. Also it's one of the best PS1 games out there. But comparing to today's games it doesn't stand a chance. Still this game is a classic so if you have epsx or an psx emulator. I say get this game.
