Ridge Racer (リッジレーサー?) is a Racing game series for both arcade and consoles, from video game developer and publisher Namco. Starting with arcade game Ridge Racer in 1993, the series was continued until 2001 in arcades and 2007 on consoles. Most of the arcade games were subsequently ported to the PlayStation or PlayStation 2 consoles, and the series has also seen release on the PSP and DS handhelds, as well as the Xbox 360 and Nintendo 64.
The series takes place in "Ridge City", and although tracks are always added in new games, the original Ridge Racer track remains. The courses are varied, and somewhat realistic. The tracks go through different, colorful terrain, often with simulated city life and vegetation, although players don't have to contend with any non-race traffic on the course itself. Although the style attempts an approximation of what a real life course would be, the tracks often have grades and turns which wouldn't be found in an actual city, which adds a bit of heightened realism and excitement.
