Your car will still slip and slide at ever opportunity and it takes some getting used to unless you are a regular Ridge Racer player who also favors this style of racing. If there’s one thing Outrun is famous for it’s the ridiculous over exaggerated drifting mechanics and Coast to Coast is no exception. The less said about the horrible rubber band AI the better too. The controls are also rather twitchy and playing with a gamepad comes highly recommended. The sounds of your car engine and tires screeching are pathetic and there are no separate volume settings for anything so it all just gets drowned out. Speaking of the audio I was rather disappointed with the sound effects which to be honest are rather woeful. There’s also remixed and Outrun 2 BGM to buy and listen to while racing as you can only listen to magical sound shower and its ilk so many times before you start blocking it out. The music is rather nice and will bring back fond memories if you played the original games. Tracks are littered with blocky spectators who jerk around with about 2 frames of animation each and the look is definitely cartoonier than cutting edge. Despite looking good and running fast even in the highest resolutions you won’t be mistaking this for a next-gen game though. In fact the whole game looks quite polished and some of the stages look very nice indeed.

It’s still not possible to damage any of the cars but they are looking better and shinier than ever. Some extras like a time attack mode and a showroom where you can buy new cars, music, tracks and missions are also on offer.īesides the classic Testarossa there’s a whole bunch of new Ferraris to pick from including the F50, 360 Spider, 288 GTO and Enzo Ferrari.

Outrun 2006 consist of the Outrun 2SP arcade game as well as the new Coast to Coast mode where you drive literally from coast to coast beating your rivals and completing some strange tasks. The basic aim is still to reach the end of each race by driving through a series of checkpoints in time but a lot more has been added. Now 20 years down the line the series is still going strong and this latest edition is sure to bring some new fans to the franchise. Highlights included the awesome cabinet the game was housed in and of course the memorable music. The aim was simply to reach each checkpoint in time and hopefully make it to the end of the race in one piece. Released way back in 1986 the original Outrun placed you behind the wheel of a red Ferrari Testarossa with a beautiful girl at your side.
