source: wikipedia_enR4: Ridge Racer Type 4, released without the 'R4' prefix in PAL territories, is a 1998 racing video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation. It is the fourth home title in the Ridge Racer series after Rage Racer (1996) and was initially released on December 3, 1998 in Japan, with global releases following in 1999. Maintaining the arcade-style gameplay of its predecessors, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 introduces a new Grand Prix, named Real Racing Roots '99, consisting of four teams that the player may join, with associated sponsorships that can also be chosen, each offering different effects to the driving. Additionally, every team also has its own story mode, accompanied with a manager that interacts with the player during the season. The number of car models was expanded to include over 300 vehicles. R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 was positively received, with praise for its presentation, art, driving, and soundtrack, though some criticism was directed to its cars' overly light drifting compared to earlier titles in the series. Retrospective reviewers considered it as one of the greatest racing games ever made. The game was later re-released on the PlayStation Network service
