Yep, one of them is a cruising/racing game and the other is a vehicular combat/racing game.

Two completely different games.
At last, common sense on the subject. Seriously, what on earth brought people to classify Outrun 2 and Burnout 3 in the same category is beyond me. Is it the two syllables followed by a number? They're completely different.. gah.
 
I disagree with this score. Living in Europe I already got my copy weeks ago and I'd give it an 8. They've caught that classic charme right, but the gameplay and the fill of content aren't that special nowadays. Especially when you go against a full-packed and quite polished concurrent like Burnout 3 in the same time.

Outrun 2 gets a 7.9 on the Cocklemeter.

Mission mode is a lot more fun then you would expect. And the tracks...you never tire of driving around the same tracks, they really are visually pleasing....but....hopefully Sega will design future Outruns with the same graphic flair, but with a more Burnoutish game structure...trouble is, then it really wouldn't be Outrun would it? Time for Sega to bring us the long rumoured Racers Megamix methinks.

not an idiot
meh, I think Burnout 3 was a big step down from B2 in gameplay. For one, you always have the juice, which takes out the tactical and strategical elemnts of when to use it. I didn't play the crash stuff tho and that may be what people are liking. But as far as racing goes, Outrun 2 just outclasses it by a mile IMO at least.
