rr3Here's another mini racer game that will surely sweep you off your feet! The Ridge Racer 2 mini game, originally a racing videogame released by NAMCO in 1994, sports a makeover with its new racing modes for the PSP. In Survival Mode, the racers go around the track as the other racers trailing behind are forced out of the race. The goal in this mode is to remain the last one standing, or rather, driving. In the Dual Mode, the racer faces off with another on the tracks, mano-a-mano.

The Digdug Hijack from the Xbox 360 Ridge Racer 6, along with the Pac-Man vehicle, will grace the screens along with other new models of race cars.

As homage to old school arcade gaming, Ridge Racer 2 displays a classic arcade game for its load screen. This time, the honors have beenrr2-3 granted to New Rally X.

The Ridge Racer 2 mini game is scheduled for release on the 14th of next month. So for all those who would like to re-experience old school race car driving with a bit of modern flair, this game is for you!

WTF? Refresh me again as to why they're releasing the "mini game" soon, and not the actual whole game. What have you been smoking? Seriously?

 » Wha?

So they're releasing a mini-game for your memory stick, or are they releasing a full UMD sequel to the PSP ridge racer?

And of course...

It's Ridge Racer! RIIIIIDGE RACERRRR!

Whats up with this site. It used to let me hit the back arrow to go back to the previous page but now it is disabled. That is flatout annoying! Now I have to click on the homepage link to continue with reading the articles which this take more time in scrolling and sometimes missing things.

RR2 looks like fun..., er I think, since I can't see these tiny screenshots.

They are including a game mode from Burnout and pretty much every other racing game out there in their sequel that looks incredibly like it's predecessor. How about some new game modes that exactly that: NEW!
