OutRun 2 (Xbox)

Product Information

A shallow slide, for example, might be a good way to pass the AI-controlled traffic sprinkled up and down the road, but by the same token decent analogue and trigger control can have the backside of your Enzo hugging the apex of the turn even when it ought to be scraping the crash barrier and skimming mph off your speedo. Whereas the original Outrun 2 had been an Xbox exclusive, the home ports of Outrun 2 SP were multi-system, with the original Xbox, PS2, PSP (and later PC) receiving a version of the game. OutRun 2 stays true to the race format from the 1986 original, in which the player is behind the steering wheel of a Ferrari sports car with a friend in the passenger seat through 5 of 15 stages. It's interesting enough here to realise how badly a discipline like OutRun impacts your capacity to think straight, but the maths and memory tests are also commendably inventive and satisfying to overcome - although it is a shame that the maths eventually boils down to a fifty-fifty choice between two paths, giving half the forgetful racers a chance to guess their way to victory. It kind of relies on the game being in your download history, but that history seems to go pretty far back!

But it isn't long before you encounter the more obscure and enterprising challenges, which ask you to break laser wires between cars, each of which has a certain heart value, or hit Y to snap a photo of a heart as you slide past it on a turn - the quality and clarity of the photo determining how many hearts you bank. The 2-Player cabinet is designated as DX (Deluxe), and the 4-Player cabinet is designated as SDX (Super Deluxe), with raceview cameras on the players, and a live leaderboard over the center units. I can't comment on the control on the 2 PlayStation games, but with a pad, Coast 2 Coast handles just as well as Outrun 2. The Continuous mode is similar to OutRun mode, but instead the player must drive through all fifteen stages.

But while mission mode will add more than a handful of hours of challenging, task-driven racing to an otherwise short-lived racer, it's not without its flaws. It also included extra cars (bringing the total up to 15) and special souped up versions of all the regular cars. So if they manage to make it far enough with that, there's no reason we couldn't have properly emulated Outrun 2 and 2 SP on our very own computers. At the moment, the PS3 version is in my opinion the best, even if the HUD may look crispy in some moments.

Yes, that means if you use say the PSP emulator to play Ridge Racer, you know how sloppy it's gonna feel if you try to play it with your 900 degree Logitech G25 or whatever wheel you own.And although it's sadly not integrated with the single-player game to any meaningful degree, the option to upload ghost cars more or less instantly, and compare scores and download ghosts for individual stages, could refresh the charms of the shave-a-second Time Attack discipline. When the game is started for the first time, a limited selection of cars, tracks, challenges and background music is available. All previous assets were rescaled/adjusted for a 16:10 aspect ratio on a direct 640x480 canvas, with excess bars intended to be cut off by the LCD display with overscan. At least the developers were able to include a system link mode, so it is possible to set up true multiplayer racing offline.

Doesn't feature all the content from Coast 2 Coast, with some cars missing and none of the challenge modes. For example, I can have a profile that has my steering wheel turn at around 900 degree radius, while having *another* Autohotkey profile where my wheel turns only 270 degrees for say, OutRun 2! Under Arcade, there are three modes, one of which is outrun mode, a throwback to the style of the original OutRun. Now I can play the game and collect as many Outrun miles as I want, without worrying about them being wiped away or my progress being screwed up.Occasional and frustrating difficulty spikes eventually give way to widespread unfairness, as the final stretches of the branching mission mode map start to toss you around like a rank amateur, and the need for an A grade minimum starts to grate. The game was released on April 15, 2009 on Xbox Live Arcade and released exclusively in Europe for the PlayStation 3 a day later via the PlayStation Network. OutRun 2 SP 's new courses, songs and game elements appear (alongside the originals and new content) in the home video-game OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast. The Xbox system link option is as equally easy to set-up as OR2 and offers an equally good stable connection.

The first true HD version of the game, supporting resolutions up to 1080p, however it didn’t include any bloom effects (the optical effect where light from a bright source, such as a the Sun, appears to leak into surrounding objects) The PC version of Coast 2 Coast featured no rumble functionality whatsoever for joypads and was not optimised for racing wheels. Coast 2 Coast on consoles: Although C2C didn't include the bonus stages from Outrun 2, it did include all 15 stages from the original arcade version of Outrun 2 and the 15 new stages from Outrun 2 SP. While Burnout's profligacy sometimes drives it off the road - most notably in the online stakes - OutRun2 shoulders the burden of being a one-trick pony and says, "Fair enough, but my pony's a silver stallion in the middle of a Ferrari logo screeching sideways round an impossible bend at more than 150mph.
