    Smooth, slick and sexy, setting a bench mark for PSP. [Issue#139, p.102]

    The inclusion of connectivity to the PSP was a stroke of genius that I hope other developers take note of and use in the future.
  3. OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast has everything. It's two thrilling arcade machines reproduced in incredible style, it's a vast collection of all-new driving challenges, plus it's an online racer - and one that connects to the PS2 version to unlock exclusive stuff for those who buy both games.
  4. Instead of a sense of "been there, done that" it will be a wave of comforting nostalgia, like a sea breeze taking you back to days gone by. OutRun 2006 is a lot of fun, it's just that you have to know exactly what to expect from the series.
  5. An exceptional title; pure, simple, fun, brilliant - I simply can't lay enough superlatives around the game.
  6. Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast offers a fun, accessible experience to racing fans who just want to jam on the accelerator and go.

    The hardcore arcade-style gameplay may be a huge turn-off for some, but if you've always like the Outrun games--even back in the day--then, surely, you won't be disappointed with the face-lift. [Jun 2006, p.103]

The fact you can play online just makes the deal even sweeter - there's so much to unlock, so much to do and so much to see! The cars are sweet and so are the tunes. Nothing to complain about - barre minor slowdowns, but heck, it's worth it for this! Goodnight Ridge Racer - Good morning Outrun. Expand

    One of the very few games on PSP that got everything that console version have.
    Not to mention graphics,easily one of the best looking racing game on PSP right behind Midnight Club 3.
    Almost lose nothing in graphics department from PS2 to PSP.
    Being such a gorgeous looking game it does have some slowdown it may not run at 60fps all the time but it's more than enough.
    Lots of events and items to play and purchase.
    Outrun 2006 coast 2 coast got everything that the king of racing game on PSP ridge racer had.
    And it offer you so much more Content,Graphics,Gameplay,Fun!
    Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast is definitely the new king of racing game on PSP!

It's simplistic, yet very fun and still challanging, gameplay makes you come back for more. And with the natural layout of Outrun being in bite sized races (2-5 minutes each race), this is a perfect fit for a handheld. And the graphics look great... and 6 players online is lots of fun. Great game. Expand

    After nine years of ownership I still think this is one of the best arcade ports on a console.

Just as much fun as the original but this one fits in your pocket.

    The graphics and sound are great and car handling is as it should be for an Outrun game.

    If you want a simulation look elsewhere but if you want to kill some time and have fun it doesn't get much better than this.

    I see that the game is pretty good. But it gets boring for me . Repetetive and stuff.

The graphics are appealing, but frankly the PSP can do better - and has on games such as Burnout. The music is a mixed bag. A few of the driving tunes are rocking, but some are downright annoying. The steering controls are a bit sloppy, but make do. Overall Outrun is good, but not great. If you just want some simple minded arcade style racing, Outrun will do the trick. Expand
