I said it before but I man, the duel races in Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) are the most miserable experience I ever had playing a racing game - they are WAY over tuned. I really feel like there's a middle ground between smoking the competition on lap 1 and spending most of the race watching your opponent at the edge of game's draw distance due to them using a car which is faster, has better acceleration and starts the race with a boost. I like a good challenge but this ain't it.

I finished the three duels required to unlock the EX tour series of events and that's that, I'm not touching the remaining 4. Ever. I don't need a 100% completion rate, not when some of the remaining content sucks the fun out of the whole experience. I'd rather have fun with the normal races instead and I'm extremely happy the EX series exist - I was actually worried I already cleared (almost) everything with the ending movie and credits unlocking halfway through PRO tour. I'm glad I was wrong.

Still love the game but boy was that rough at times.
