 Ridge Racer for PSP: Review
Ridge Racer is an incredible showpiece for the PSP with incredible graphics, addictive gameplay and some clever twists that make it one of the best launch titles for the system.
Ridge Racer offers everything you'd expect from the series, but what's unexpected about it is the game's unbelievable graphic quality and polish evident throughout.
Even though Ridge Racer sports fantasy vehicles, the car models are amazingly detailed, with each sporting a beautiful finish highlighted by excellent reflection and shadow effects on both the cars and the road surfaces.

 Ridge Racer - Sony PSP Game Reviews - Mobile Tech Review
Ridge Racer struck fame again as a launch title for the original Sony Playstation, and has since covered many major systems from the N64 to the PS2.
Now in its 13th release counting each arcade and console version, Ridge Racer for the PSP is best described as a souped up compilation edition of much of the last 12 years.
Ridge Racer features a lot of graphical tricks and techniques that honestly, I didn't think were possible on the PSP, much less in a 1st gen title.

 The Battle for Wireless Ridge
After the Hercules had dropped its supplies to the fleet, Chaundler parachuted into the sea, from where he was plucked by a helicopter and flown back to one of the ships where he was given the chance to dry off before being flown to HMS Hermes for a brief talk with Admiral Woodward.
The final phase of 3 Commando Brigade's campaign, the battle for Port Stanley, would have been a street-fight but in the end wasn't necessary.
D Company finally swept around eastwards to seize the forward slope of the ridge and Lt.-Col. Chaundler was concerned when he learned that the Scots Guards were in difficulty on Tumbledown and his men would be dangerously exposed at dawn if the enemy still held the mountain.
