The controls for this game don't work well and you can't save the game when you want to, which creates a lot of problems when you're playing it. So don't buy it, please.

Awesome Arcade Racer

This game is a great looking and great playing racing title for anyone who enjoys arcade games. It's all Ferrari cars for those who care (I don't mind at all).

RETRO FERRARIS? AWESOME...

THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN OF FERRARIS...
I BOUGHT IT AS SOON AS IT CAME OUT, AND IT IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST STRAIGHTFORWARD RACERS OUT THERE....
YOU CAN PLAY RACING GAMES ALL DAY, BUT NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL OUTRUN, AND THIS IS JUST THAT, WITH ALL THE NEW & OLD FERRARIS, (WELL NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT THE MOST POPULAR OF COURSE)
THE ONLY THING I REALLY THINK IS LACKING WOULD BE MORE CARS AND/OR UNLOCKABLES, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO DRIVE AN OLD FERRARI INDY CAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT OVERALL, I WAS MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THIS TITLE, EVEN THE XBOX LIVE IS KINDA FUN, ALTHOUGH GETTING SMOKED THROUGHOUT A WHOLE RACE IS KINDA LENGTHY...
ANYWAY, IF YOURE A FERRARI AFICIONADO, OR EVEN A CAR GUY AT ALL, YOU SHOULD BUY THIS...

OutRun 2 - I am in love again!

I'm one of those people who pumped their child-life's savings in to various OutRun arcade machines. If this was you too, stop reading right now, don't waste time being ashamed for not already owning this game, and go buy it! This game is an excellent follow-up to the best arcade racing game of all time. If you're a realist you won't like the physics-busting crashes and this game is probably not for you. If you just like to play and enjoy, get OutRun 2. With original arcade mode, heart attack mode, missions, time trials, features to unlock and the awesome music there's plenty to do here. I guarantee OutRun 2 will keep your attention long enough to more than pay for itself.

Relive a classic game of the past with XBOX graphics.

Need a good no-brainer racer? Look no further.

I love classic games and bringing them back to the mainstrem of technology--- it makes me very happy. Outrun was one of Sega's biggest games in the 80's. How many quarters did people spend to play this game? I don't know, but it makes me sick to think about it. Outrun was certainly way before its time and was one of the greatest driving games ever in its hay day. Outrun 2 keeps the feeling and faith of the original by giving us the same crazy arcade gameplay with the classic music. The gameplay is nutty, you can drift and powerslide on a corner like there is no tomorrow. It's defintely the immortal feeling of the General Lee, these Ferrari's can do it all. The arcade mode takes after the original and the likes of the classic Pole Position. It's a race to get to the checkpoint, nothing more, you and the clock. Although the arcade mode is a bit limited, as you can finish one race in about 10 minutes, and that's it. But the fun is within the mission mode that gives you more variety and the ability to open new prizes. You can knock over cones, race against other drivers, perfect the powerslide and earn new cars and a even a few new modes. Even better you can take this baby on XBOX Live and duke it out with 8 other racers. Don't worry about this game looking nostalgic, it's a very good looking racer and is every bit as good as Burnout 3 and Rallisport Challenge 2 which are considered tops in the graphics department for racers.

Sega on the MOVE ! Believe it or not this is a GREAT game !

My friends and I had been playing Burnout 3 a lot recently before I decided to get OUTRUN 2. I though I could never find any other game as good as Burnout 3. But guess what! OUTRUN 2 is an awesome game. In this game you do not have to take the other drivers down but instead you will be amazed by the missions you have to accomplish to get to the extra stuff. OUTRUN 2 is visually simply great. I really missed to see how much damage each accident causes to my car or when you crash your car looks like a ball bouncing around. The music could have been much better. God who is going to show these developers what kind of songs they should pick for their games. It is a blast to drift with your powerful Ferrari on the open road. The interface is great as well. All you need to know is how to accelarate and how to brake. And that's it! The rest is a pure fun. It is a kind of game that you have very good chances to get addicted to it. Sega has done a great job to transfer the old version of OUTRUN into the 21st century version for XBOX. I bought this game first used and then after ten minutes I decided to go and return the used one and buy a new one. If you are a fan of racing cars you should not hesitate to get your hands on this hot item.

Great alternative to Burnout 3

Pros... great graphics, good sense of speed, larger variety of track environments than you'll find in most race games, Ferrari licence, many types of mini games in the challenge mode to increase longetivity, future downloadable content means potential for more cars and tracks (there is already a new version called Outrun 2 SP out in the arcades in Japan)

Cons... each individual track segment is only about 45 seconds long, music leaves plenty to be desired (unless you loved the original tracks from the original Outrun back in the 80s), unrealistic physics (this is only a bad thing for those who only like sim type racers

Overall, I give it a 9 out of 10.
