Ridge Racer type 4 is fantastic.  The graphics are top notch. The soundtrack to this game is fantastic, with selectable music before each  race.  The girl in the FMV at the begining is even pretty hot.  Lets face  it the Ridge Racer is the origonal and still king of the playstation race  games.  Gran Turismo is just plain too complex to be any fun.  You have to  play Gran Turismo for hours before getting any good at it.  Ridge Racer is  just pick up and play,  try it out!
