The game is a throw-back to old arcade racers, and it doesn't miss a beat. This game will last you as long as you want it to last.
-
AceGamezThe fact that it's more of an arcade racer and not nearly as aggressive as "Burnout 3" makes it a game for players who want a more chilled, yet still very entertaining drive. As far as sheer quality of production is concerned, it comes very close to beating its rival, being incredibly polished on all fronts.
-
Straight console junkies may find it a bit vapid, but the rest of the worlds gamers- those of us who have gamed in arcades before, will most likely find OutRun 2 invigorating.
-
A return to simplicity that deserves mention for its unique qualities, no matter how quirky the mainstream gamer may find them to be.
-
OutRun2 is not a game that you will spend hours playing at one sitting, but you will experience lots of very happy five-minute bursts.

Play MagazineSimilarly appealing are the game's various challenges, like trying to impress your date by drifting; you know you're doing well because all these hearts are flying out of your car. [Nov 2004, p.75]

But the problem is its a port of a very dated arcade game. The graphics are cartoony, the sound effects are more for nostalgia than any other sort of enjoyment and the game mechanics are infantile. There are a total of two buttons you use for the game.
