Arcade Archives 2 RIDGE RACER takes you back to 1993 – the time when NAMCO’s classic racing series first exploded on arcades. With the groundbreaking 3D CG System 22, RIDGE RACER was once a monument in the world of speed games. Now, thanks to the new release from HAMSTER, this legend has been reborn stronger than ever through the Arcade Archives 2 platform – where the classic experience becomes smoother, more convenient and sharper.
Four racing modes to challenge every driver
The game remains the same when allowing players to choose between NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED levels, along with TIME TRIAL where you go head-to-head with an opponent car to compete for the best time. With each track, you will clearly feel the difference in steering response, increasing the thrill and requiring precise reflexes in every corner. The controls also support the DX version with H-shifter and clutch – giving you a driving experience that is as authentic as the real cars.
Modern updates in the Arcade Archives 2 collection
Compared to the first version, Arcade Archives 2 enhances the experience with a redesigned user interface and a series of new features. TIME ATTACK MODE brings a completely different speed challenge – where scores are no longer important, only the speed of completion determines who is the best racer. Although NETWORK MODE is not available in RIDGE RACER due to single player limitations, players can still enjoy other outstanding upgrades such as multiple save points, rewind function, quick start mode and VRR support – smoothly recreating the original arcade experience.
