so i have to be quick, and get me some OutRun 2 online trough xbl before this happens :-( to bad they desided to end it all.

if you "forget" that the wii "should have" had this precise motion detection upon release, and you just dive in the game, you soon forget about this.

to expensive or not, i'm glad they did it, as the wii motion plus really improves upon the gameplay. on wii sports, i was verry dissapointed with wii bowling, as i coud not throw effects like i'd expected it should be. the new add on, and the new wii sports resort gives me the controlls i'd thought it would have from the start. after diving in, i found myself having a good time. also the other elements are done extremely well. i never thought the wiimote and nunchuck controller would give a proper "archery" feeling ! two thumbs up for nintendo. now all i need is a proper racegame with this new motion controller in it, and a bigger wheel than the one that came with mariokart. wonder houw that would work out....

this just does not feel good.

as a loyal sega fan, it really saddens me seeing someone high profiled as yu suzuki leaving sega.

so is this why outrun online arcade does not get a patch to improve online gameplay ? and i'd loved to see a add on giving us the outrun 2 tracks, and the 5 missing ferrari's that where in outrun 2006 coast to coast :-)

exelent article. this is just my favorite outrun game, altough the first OutRun started it all, and i also have really fun memorys on playing that came at the arcade.

now the new outrun online arcade is released, i still keep on hoping they will add the outrun 2 tracks, and the missing cars. i would pay 800 MS points for that upgrade :-) and it would be even more fun for die hard fan's if you could select the outrun 2 gameplay mechanics, as the new outrun game has been made easyer :-D

thanks for this wonderfull article. i have seen it a long time ago, but i still agree with it. 2 thumbs up for EDGE.

exelent game serie this. i still remember the first outrun, and how it took sega 10 years before we had a proper arcade perfect version at home (sega saturn). my favorite outrun game being OutRun 2. still this one is almost the same, but they made it a little bit easyer. driving trough grass does not slow you down to much compared to OR2, and you can be faster by slipstreaming :-)

to bad sumo digital (and maybe sega, i don't know who's responsibillity it is) does not take the game seriously. online there are 2 bugs in it, one being really bad, as some players can't complete the race as sometimes they get stuck at the fork in the road. examples can be found on youtube (just search outrun online arcade glitch). the less obvious bug is that with collisions on, player 2 can rub his car to player one, and then suddenly get a speed boost, and p2 will be so far up ahead, that p1 can't even slipstream him anymore. luckilly not everyone uses this :-) but that's why if i host the game, i will turn collisions off.

but, all in all, i never expected sega/sumo to do another remake of outrun, as the serie is only atrackting the die hard sega/outrun fans, witch can be seen on the online hall of fame, and so the previous games (outrun 2, outrun 2006 coast to coast) sold not that well. as those games may be backwards compatible on the xbox360, it's not bug free, so i am happy with this game :-)
