Ridge Racer 2[a] is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by Namco for their System 22 hardware. Ridge Racer 2 is more of an updated version of Ridge Racer, than an actual sequel:[3] the main change is the ability to play with up to eight human players. Otherwise it has trivial changes including the addition of an in-race rear-view mirror and a remixed soundtrack.[4]

In 1995, Ridge Racer/Ridge Racer 2 was followed by two true sequels: an arcade sequel, named Rave Racer,[5] and a home console sequel, named Ridge Racer Revolution, for the PlayStation, and which inherited Ridge Racer 2's soundtrack.
