  1. By simply making sure that absolutely everything in the game is designed to remove the usual restrictions on fun, Sumo's created something that practically transcends rivals like PGR3 and Burnout before you even done anything.
  2. Luckily, thanks to inch-perfect arcade handling, you'll have few complaints. [Aug 2006, p.100]
  3. Sega is firmly established as one the best developers for arcade racers and you don’t need to look further than OutRun 2006 to see why.
  4. The PC market should revel in the fact that it can do console games, and do them better than the consoles can. [Sept 2006, p.70]

    Without a doubt my favorite racing game of all time. Out of all the ports of this game, the PC version is hands down the best.

    You can't compare this one to other racing games out there. Dan's comment is correct if you haven't played the original Outrun - the game will seem a little 'cartoony' as he put it. Since it's done in arcade style, the emphasis is on fun, not realism. But Sega are doing exactly the right thing, paying homage to the original with the same goofy feel that made it so much fun. For anyone who remembers the original, they will love it. I would have given it 9 if the menu control system wasn't so clunky. Expand

    the game was alright. There wasnt as much entertainment as something like Need for Speed Most Wanted. Can get repetitive after a while, and also boring. The graphics were a bit to drawn out or cartoonish, and not really realistic. Overall..its average. Expand

    I, like many Racing game likers, have played and enjoyed the NFS series. This game is about 1 hyperbollilionth of the fun that the last NFS game gave me. the modes of racing this gives you are both boring and the one where you have to drive around with your virtual girlfriend shouting in your ear about your bad driving. overall: the only reason i actually layed it is that it came free with my pre-order of Football Manager 2010, a hopefully much better game.
