Tries too hard to appeal to all types of racing fans, without ever feeling like a complete experience.
60
The game does, basically, offer lots of variety, a flat learning curve and a decent story mode for those that aren’t just looking for the latest in car physics.

A feature-lite driving simulator that neither offends nor excels in any particular area of design, and one that doesn't elicit a sense of excitement, rather a feeling of déjà vu.

The Ridge Racer V engine gets the Gran Turismo treatment introducing real cars, real tracks and a series of challenges as well as a career mode. Not as anal in its attention to detail as the GT games, but is more fun to play as a result. A good compromise between realism and arcade sensibilities.

If you were trying to decide on a racer before "GT4," I would say that this is the title for you if you are looking for a solid single-player game. If you're in the market for a good multiplayer racer, I would suggest "Need For Speed Underground."

The notion of a story-driven racing game is definitely something I'm getting used to, and after an initial feeling of resistance, I have to say the game got to be quite fun...It's not the greatest racer ever made, but it is pretty darn good.

It's too bad that there's nothing but straw where R: Racing Evolution's heart should be. [Jan 2004, p.121]

In the end though you have to consider that when it's good its very very good and when its bad... its just a bit rough, never terrible.

It's not the worst racing title we've seen, whilst some of the ideas are worthwhile; it's just a huge shame that the actual racing experience just isn't there.

The on-track action can only be described as skatey, as your tires never seem to grip the road. With a bit of practice, you can compensate for this, but the game just never feels right because of it.

There's abundant animated cleavage for the truly desperate. However, the heart of the game - the actual driving - is outclassed in every aspect. Don't bother. [PSM2]

The best part of this game is the girl on the cover. The driving ****. The track ****. And yes, I know this is PS2, but the graphics kind of ****, too. A score of 1, because I couldn't play it more than 30 minutes until it became painful.
