Advantages: Great racing action, fantastic graphics and playability

Disadvantages: Bit repetitive, but when there are 300 odd cars to get what do you expect?

RR4 is the ultimate driving game for the PSX and ranks up there with the likes of Gran Turismo 2 and Driver in the playability stakes, with the added bonus of a kicking soundtrack to boot, it's worth buying the CD for the music alone.

After a while, you do tend to flick over the chatty bits with your Team Owner between races, striving to get out onto the next track and fly around it with the hair raising speed common the the RR series.

This time the graphics are perfect, the cars have that unique touch to their handling, and now there are over 300 to collect, although a minor point here is that the manual is not all that great a help in telling you how to go about it properly.

Overall, one of my all time top three driving games for the Playstation, and I hope you will find that too if you have not already played it.
