Advantages: The game is good because it if kiddie friendly and great fun to play.

Disadvantages: none

Ridge Racer 4 is a racing game. It is a 1 or 2 player game.It will keep you hooked (you'll need a memory card in 1 player mode). I say this beacuse it is one of those games you know if you keep trying you will get first place. You can use different cars and race around different tracks.

On 1 player mode you have to win first places to get more (extra) tracks. On 2 player mode all the tracks are there ready to play.

The graphics are good and clear you get brilliant bends and it gives a good effect(feel) when going around these bends or up/down hills. In a way you feel the track, feel like you are really driving it(i have a habbit of moving side to side when the car does sad but true).

Your car can be put in two view you can see it as if were you in the car looking out of the windowscreen, or you can see the car and it looks like you are controlling a remote control car. I personal prefere the first view.

The sound can be turned off or changed throughout the game. The songs played whilst you are racing have beats that repeat themselves. These songs actually want to make you go faster and faster as the beat gets faster.

The tracks are all very different and are difficult in for different reasons. Some tracks have easy bends, some have loops, and sone have bends at right angles.
There are different hights on the tracks. On one of the tracks if you get the right speed you go flying throgh the air (which has caused me to win quite a few races because i fly over the top of my enemy, when you watch the race you see what you've done and you can't help but think "oh yes" because it looks so good)

You get quite a range of cars. You can get slow/fast cars and you can get cars that can drift or have grip.
Grip is good to have for tight corners, i say this because when your on drift you literally drift into the corner.

The game has no blood or gore, and can keep anyone captivated for hours on end.
The
controls to set up the race are different from other games you normally have to press x to accept but not on this game (it does tell you what to press though each stage so don't panic). The controls during the game are like any other racing game the x is used to accelerate the car, square button brakes the car and the triagle changes the view of the car.

The game is good because it if kiddie friendly and great fun to play.
