    By simply making sure that absolutely everything in the game is designed to remove the usual restrictions on fun, Sumo's created something that practically transcends rivals like PGR3 and Burnout before you even done anything.

    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.

    An arcade game par excellence, as inviting as the open road and just as compulsive. [Sept 2006, p.104]

    Its more of a single player experience than it is for multiples of people, and in that sense it works nearly perfectly. Car handling is simple, the frame rate is speedy, but more than anything Coast 2 Coast is fantastic fun to play - a quality that many a game bogged down with FMVs and unnecessary complications neglects.

    Luckily, thanks to inch-perfect arcade handling, you'll have few complaints. [Aug 2006, p.100]

    Sega is firmly established as one the best developers for arcade racers and you don’t need to look further than OutRun 2006 to see why.

    It’s unabashedly repetitive, cartoony and not as pretty as many would like, but it’s still the most beautiful journey yet. [Mar 2006, p.96]

    An exceptional title; pure, simple, fun, brilliant - I simply can't lay enough superlatives around the game.

    The game is simple and very easy to pick-up-and-play. The graphics are awesome. You’ll either rock out and sing along with the music or scramble to turn the volume all the way down.

    The PC market should revel in the fact that it can do console games, and do them better than the consoles can. [Sept 2006, p.70]

    Coast 2 Coast is amazing fun, and for ten bucks, you can’t go wrong.

    This is a romantic love letter to all OutRun games before it...and what better version to play than the PC version. The graphics are lush,This is a romantic love letter to all OutRun games before it...and what better version to play than the PC version. The graphics are lush, the controls are spot-on, the music is romantic and heart-warming, and gameplay is simple yet fun. There are plenty of unlockables like cars, music and race tracks, plus quite a few player modes. I think there has been no better Outrun game since this 2006 gem SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS GAME CANNOT BE OUTSHONE (or Out-Run if you like!)...True, Ridge Racer was another cool drifting game series, but no one has ever done it in a more nostalgic, romantic and memorable way than the legendary Outrun 2006!.… Full Review »

    It's not bad, you definitely have the arcade aesthetic from the previous outrun game, a decent selection of ferraris. screw those people inIt's not bad, you definitely have the arcade aesthetic from the previous outrun game, a decent selection of ferraris. screw those people in these reviews saying they didn't like it cuz its not too need for speed type of game when both games are ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

    with that said, I also love the fact that they added this sort of race mode, as well as the inclusion of the previously 8 bit tracks from the first outrun game such as the Magical Sound Shower and the Passing Breeze which deffo gives some touch to the fans of the first installment.    … Full Review »

    SEGA managed to make the only game in existence that’s better than sex.
