About

Rage Racer is the third title in the Ridge Racer series of racing games. For the first time in series, Rage Racer introduces a brand new advanced single player career system which uses credits that player can get after winning races, then it can be used to buy or upgrade cars.

What players say

A demanding arcade racer built around satisfying but practice-hungry powerslides and a deeper car-tuning progression than earlier Ridge Racers. Long seen as a quietly excellent, slightly under-loved entry that some veterans rate the series' best.
