What it is

"Rave Racer" is a racing game released by NAMCO LIMITED (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1995. With dynamic presentation and more exhilarating drift control, this title evolved in every way, becoming a hit that soared past the high expectations set for the third installment in the RIDGE RACER series. The diverse soundtrack further pumps up the race, igniting a frenzy that truly lives up to its name—RAVE!
