The game gets 9/10

"The arcade mode is a bit on the easy side but 101 challenges will keep you going for months"
The Live options are pretty straight forward but great fun none the less

The handling is spot on and with the stunning grahics are straight out of Seg Mythology- its got the look!

The music is viewed as such " a man who's tired of listerning to Magical Sound Showe is tired of life itself. NO wait-he's desd. And an idiot. Best music ever.

By the way Magical sound shower is the demo available in the UK. Its classics 80's Sega, I think they're being ironic.

Outrun 2 should kick ass! However, the score that interests me most is this one:

Kingdom under fire 8

Lots of great Live love!

Burnout 3 has probably ruined Outrun 2 for me; the game will seemed bad compared to the magic Criterion has preformed.

Like no one's ever said this before


Seriously, they are different games and fans of the original Outrun will like the sequel a great deal, imo.

I seriously doubt it, it's one of the more beloved and well-known classic game songs. I've been listening to it for almost 20 years now and still haven't lost the urge to bop every time it blares. For real, no irony!

Well guess what, noone gives a fuck about magic that Criterion performed on you, this is a thread about Outrun 2 score in certain UK magazine not your gaming diary.

I can't wait for OR2

Outrun2's focus on drifting is enough for me to buy it. Not enough racers focus on that aspect even though it can add so much more to a game.

Well, drifts are really really easy to pull off, brake, steer, accelerate and keep your steering steady. You can swing between turns easily.

Are the long drifts pulled off that easily too? Like in this video (the drift you see right after the pan of the pyramid):

Drifting in Outrun 2 is easy, and it's made even easier with the road usually being so wide.

As long as you don't pull out from it, you will continue drifting. Heh !

Just wanted to say Tulip garden and cape way (which looks a lot like the greek island santorini) mop the toilet floor with the entire burnout series

 

[sprsk]

actually, the key to fast times in outrun to is to do a quick shift to drift instead of brake. They say you should never have to break in the game.

Those playing AT will have to, and brake, steer and accelerate is shown on the screen while loading, heh !

 

[SolidSnakex]

If they game has faint drifting, that's one easy way to throw your car into a drift without braking.

People use the brake in arcade racers???

Well, some do. Heh !

 

[isamu]

According to the replay videos at Team Marubaku, the player is focusing more on racing a clean line and only drifting when absolutely necessary, in order to get the best times.

 

[BeOnEdge]

not having to connect thru EAs LIVE system alone would make OR2 better than BO3. i'm gonna keep it fair though as much as i want to put my sega fan slant on things and say that the games are too different to directly compair. yes they are both "racers" but one is like the morning rush to work after waking up 1/2 hour late while the other is like that saturday drive you take with ur girl where its just you, the road, and beautiful scenery. that said, outrun 2 should compliment BO3 quite well in any arcade racing fans collection!

I found this amazingly funny. Lack of sleep, I suppose.

Dear bloke,

I never said Outrun 2 was bad, infact it is a fantastic game, a game infact that I had to be dragged away from at GameStars Live. I am just saying it won't seem as good after playing Burnout3, which in my opinion has redefined the arcade racing genre. I will still play the game and will probably put many hours of gaming into it.

Or

If the above was to hard for you to read with your low grade English skills, settle the fuck down and shut the fuck up

Yeah, really, the game makes it pretty damned easy, even people who've never played it before tend to figure it out very quickly.

What would've been nice is to have each car react to drifts slightly differently. Like, make it harded to pull out of it if you're in the F50 instead of the Testarossa.

 

[Joe]

drifting is beyond easy but its a lot of fun so dont worry.

You know, ever since I played Outrun in the 80s, I've always placed Splash Wave above MGS. Now, I'm not saying that it's bad, just, you know, not my favorite.
