Reached all 10 end goals, and finished both continuous 15-length tracks.

Reached all 10 end goals, and finished both continuous 15-length tracks.
Final thoughts: Easily the best original arcade game ever in my opinion (not counting Need for Speeds / GRID which have Arcade versions). This game is a 3D arcade racing game done right, as it looks both visually pretty for its time AND it demands actual skill to finish in comparison to Cruis'n / Fast & Furious arcade games which feels more like an on-rails rollercoaster ride that's complete RNG whether you'll finish first or not. I really wish this game was ported to modern consoles, but it will never happen due to the Ferrari license.
This game's soundtrack is also one of my all-time favorites. All classic songs from OutRun & Turbo OutRun return and have been remastered to exactly how you'd imagine it would sound back then, except for Splash Wave which I like even better with the rock arrange. The game also features new remixes ESPECIALLY the really catchy Euro house remixes of Magical Sound Shower, Passing Breeze. Even the new compositions Shiny World and Risky Ride are incredible and stand up to the originals, whereas the new Vocal tracks are a lot of fun in a Sonic R kind of way considering it's even the same composer and vocals.
Even the gameplay is a big step up from the originals. Now the game places a heavy emphasis on drifting, which you'll be doing a LOT. It's incredibly satisfying to pull off, though not as refined as I'd say Ridge Racer V. It's also a lot more accessible. I can actually complete the easy routes on my first try, though the harder routes definitely require some track layout memorization as expected for an arcade title.
Worthy to mention the OutRun 2006: Coast-2-Coast version even includes an entire single-player campaign, though I didn't dabble into it that much.

Read moreRacing games are something I should like in theory but it's a genre that I've never managed to persevere through. I'll enjoy a few races but then I get disinterested. The only "racing" game that held my interest somewhat as a kid was Excitebike. This Outrun game, however, is the first racing game that I really liked and played almost constantly. The drifting is so addictive and the changing challenges add a nice variety that goes beyond simply racing as fast as you can. The graphics and the music also appealed to me. I never played the first game in the arcades or on Genesis but it's funny how many Sega franchises that I never played just click with me when I eventually play one of their later sequels. This is one of those games that made me feel happy when playing it.
