Outrun was the biggest disappointment of my holidays.If you've just come home from a life in 1985 you might enjoy this. I read the reviews before buying but it didn't sink in what Arcade style meant. I am an addicted follower of Colin MacRea rally and thought to race a ferrari across the US would be cool. I was wrong. The games is to car racing what space invaders is to "Battlefield". The landscape moves instead of the car and you have these idiotic stages like impress your girlfriend with how many slides you can do. Total rubbish. Not anyones fault but mine, but I live in Ireland and got it shipped through Florida so it is a costly mistake.
Too much sugar is bad for you November 10, 2006
I remember playing Outrun in the arcades when it came out in the, I think it was, eighties. It had flashy graphics, flashy steering wheel, pedals, and corny, but catchy, music. It was the kind of game I'd play on the way out of the arcade when all but the last dribbles of coinage had been spent on the more 'serious' (read challenging) games. Actually, when I think about it, Outrun was always placed by the entrance, perhaps for this reason. Main meal of games inside, followed by quick dessert on the way out. And Outrun is quick. And fun. And flashy. Colourful, pretty, and simple. Not much depth here, but some very cool twists on your standard arcade racer. Lots of different Ferraris, lots of different scenery and, wow, does it look good! Pure, unadulterated eye candy. Two problems, however. It wont run on full accelerated sound on my sound card (budget Creative), so I have to switch the acceleration back to minimum through my control panel or the game will just keep crashing when it comes time to race. Secondly, the configuration for gamepad bites. It won't allow me to allocate the buttons I want for acceleration and braking, so I end up using the right analogue joystick for both (left to accelerate, right to brake). Sounds dicky, and I suppose it is, but it's actually pretty easy to get used to. As far as I'm aware there are no patches for said problems. Despite these issues Outrun 2006 C2C is a blast, fun from go to wo. It's sugary sweet and just the thing for a low gaming BSL.
 Brilliant game with short lifespan. October 31, 2006

The original Outrun is a timeless classic. It's one of those video-games that will last forever and it came out of the golden era of wonderful arcade innovations, along with Double Dragon and Splatterhouse. Outrun was the first great racer, better than Pole Position on the Atari!!!
There have been plenty of sequels and spin-offs to Outrun from the kinda okay Turbo Outrun to the just plain stupid Battle Outrun. None really had that extra spark which made the original so amazing. Outrun 2006 may not end up a classic but is still a brilliant game in it's own right.
Rekindling that hedonistic, free-spirited, just-get-in-and-drive-anywhere feeling and sacrificing all the modern racing features for just sheer joyriding pleasure, Outrun 2006 is just such an easily accessible game for anyone.
As usual it's filled with gorgeous scenery, brilliantly blue skies and amazing music. The classic 'Magical Sound Shower' (a great, great tune indeed) has been remixed but it also contains the 1986 mix for the purists.
The only negative thing I can say about this game is that once you've finished it 5 times (such as I have already) there's not much point in going back to the same old courses. They could have included more.
Ah well, it's still a game you should invest time and money in.

Great Classic Sega Arcade Racing Action! September 13, 2006

If you've played this game in the arcade and liked it, then you'll definitely like this version to play at home whenever you like. You don't need a supercomputer to run it and the graphics and controls are amazing and faithful to the incredibly fun and fast arcade experience. This version also has plenty of unlockables, which you get by playing and earning miles, as well as mini-games that are a fun diversion from the classic arcade game. It has the European-themed levels of Outrun2 and the America-themed levels of Outrun2 SP, for a total of 30 stages to race through in the classic Outrun-branching style, or sequentially, or with challenges such as beating rival racers. This game is affordable, fun, and has plenty of replay value. You may not want to play it for hours and hours, but you'll keep coming back to it if you like to get a speedy arcade fix every now and then.
