    There isn't enough of a difference between this game and Outrun2 to make it worth respending $30 on.

    It's a good game that holds onto the initial flavor of the arcade franchise, and it incorporates a few new twists on the game formula. At the same time, it's the same graphical engine, the same levels and practically the same idea just two years later with limited replayability once beaten.

    But those who’ve played Outrun 2 and found themselves bored of it after a few days will find nothing here to reignite the flame.

    There are just too many other, better racers on the PS2 that you should play even before OutRun 2006 comes to mind.

    Oh, and if you already own OutRun 2 on the Xbox, don't bother with this update. [Jun 2006, p.110]

    When the concept of OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast was pitched there would have been a decision made, go retro and incorporate as much of the older title with some new elements, or make a new and revolutionary racing simulator. The result was to sit in the middle and therefore the end result is essentially a mediocre title.

    Outrun 2006 is not a bad game, but in a world where arcade racers have evolved to the quality of the Burnout series, it just feels kind of antiquated. [Jun 2006, p.97]

Not a serious challenge to Burnout 3's crown, but if you want a fun racer without a joyless obsession with "realism", this is one of the best.… Full Review »
