I downloaded the demo and felt good to play it again after all those hours at the arcade in the 90's...

What do you guys think about it?

Nope. I love the game but I'm still not sure if I'll buy it, I already have Outrun 2 and Outrun 2006 for the original Xbox. Is the XBLA version any different? Does it offer any extras not seen in the previous versions?

I played the trial, I thought it was pretty fun. The controls weren't ultra realistic so it's actually playable for the average gamer. It had a nice old school feel to it. I liked the music.

Oldschool gameplay with updated visuals. I think it's pretty cool and like what Sega's done with it. I wouldn't pay $10 for it, though.

Yeah, I bought it. Its a pretty funny game, nice with some smooth driving without the constant crashes (just played Burnout) sometimes. I'd say its worth it.

Couldn't resist the urge to buy it. It's the same Outrun 2006 I played on the original Xbox, unfortunately it only includes the 15 courses of the Outrun 2SP arcade version, the other 15 courses of Outrun 2 are not in the game (which is a shame, since most of them were quite nice). It's strange, even the PSP version has all the 30 stages.

The weirdest thing is that Outrun 2 looks a bit better, and please don't go thinking I'm nuts, I actually put my Outrun 2 disc on the 360 and played through it three times. Maybe the guys at SEGA and Sumo had to cut some effects and stuff in order to make the game size smaller than 350 MB, don't know.

In any case,Outrun 2006 for any of the platforms it was released (Xbox, PS2, PSP and PC) there will be nothing new for you in this XBLA version of Outrun, but stll is a wonderful and fun game.

You mean you ran out of time? It's just a matter of practice, but it is a difficult game, especially if you decide to take the Hard Route or if youre playing the 15 stage time trial. A good way to hone your skills is to play the heart attack mode.

I am just playing the demo outrun mode. I was driving on gear6 automatic almost all the way. Out of time on stage2 62%. This doesn't make sense. Also you said the game is only half of Outrun2, arggg, feels like getting ripped off.magicalclick
You know that the demo states that you don't get the time extensions like you do in the full version, right? So of course you always run out of time... that's kind of the point.

No. Is it a cool game? I don't feel like putting my ethernet cable into the XBOX in the other room right now.

I love it! Playing it right now! Well not right now RIGHT now. The graphics are awesome, but they were still awesome back on the XBOX. Worth the 800 IMO.

I used to love OutRun on the old arcade machines with the steering wheel and peddles! :) - This game is okay, but nothing compared to the old OutRun!
