Ridge Racers 2 Special DJ Megamix premieres on Spotify
Ridge Racer 2 launched for PlayStation Portable in September of 2006, challenging players to race across 42 tracks in total (forward and reversed), including fan-favorite courses from prior mainline series installments. The follow-up to the 2004 PSP launch title offered 62 vehicles to choose from, with support for ad-hoc multiplayer.

In Japan, Bandai Namco published the racing game as "Ridge Racers 2" to differentiate the handheld console title from Namco's 1994 arcade release. King Record published the soundtrack "Ridge Racers 2 Direct Audio" on compact disc, comprised of fifteen tracks by composers Hiroshi Okubo, Nobuyoshi Sano, Kohta Takahashi, Koji Nakagawa, Junichi Nakatsuru, Asuka Sakai, Megaten and AYA.


Bandai Namco included a Special DJ Megamix by Okubo, pressed on compact disc, as the game's preorder bonus. The arrangements revisit popular music tracks from throughout the franchise. Both the Direct Audio and Special DJ Megamix are available through streaming platforms, published by Bandai Namco Game Music.

Bandai Namco Entertainment's PlayStation Classics edition of Ridge Racer 2 is currently available for PS4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. The home console port supports up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filter functionality.


From the PlayStation product page:
Experience Ridge Racer 2 originally released on the PlayStation Portable system, enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Some aspects of gameplay may differ from the PSP version, but game progression is not affected. This title does not support multiplayer.

Enjoy the thrill of the race once again! In addition to a number of new courses and game modes, 3 machine types and 6 machine classes are available to use from the start of the game. Jump in a race anytime you like.
