"Ridge Racer Evolution"

I've got a Japanese copy of the racer and it's okay. Better if it had English menus. Anybody got English Menu screens. Everytime I try and load I delete my file:(

Took about 4 seconds to copy and paste, done by a chap called Henning from Scandanavia.

Thanx. Menu must have taken you ages to write out!

I think it's really good, similar to Moto GP3 (but I think I'm the only person in the UK who bought it) Story Mode can be completed in under two hours but there are 200 tests (like licence tests in GT3) and of course Time Trial, but you can't save best lap ghosts etc,

Sure it's not the nest racer ever, and does feel a bit rushed but if your into racers you could do a lot worse, 80% in my opinion, read some of the reviews on gamespot.com or ign.com

Jap version does have a lot of text though, would advise getting USA version or the PAL one once it comes out.

By the way I'm just over 50% through the game and reckon I've played for about 30 hours.

Is this game any good? I'd anticipated it'd be brilliant, but reviewers have been rather unimpressed.. anyone played it like to say what it's like?

what do you want to know, can't find scans at moment.

this should help though (L ... means submenu of the menu mentioned above)

What - again???

Thanks.

Locky think I tried emailing you the scans of the manual a few weeks ago, they are about 2.7mb in total, you need a free account with lycos.co.uk (10mb inbox), anyway this is a good FAQ that explains menu's etc

http://faqs.ign.com//articles/448/448564p1.html

Japanese must be the only language where NO is a longer word than YES (hint hint)

Post again if your still stuck

Kenitchiwa. Can you send scans/links to [email protected]
