OutRun 2
Also know as: アウトラン2
OutRun 2 (アウトラン2) is a 2003 racing game developed by Sega AM2 for the arcades. It was the first in Sega's OutRun series in a decade, following OutRunners (1993), and marked the fourth arcade installment. OutRun 2 was ported to the Xbox home console in 2004, on which the Sega Chihiro arcade hardware is based on. Updated versions subtitled SP and SP/DX were later released which also provided a follow-up home game, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast. OutRun 2 stays true to the race format from the 1986 original, in which the player is behind the steering wheel of a Ferrari sports car with a friend in the passenger seat through 5 of 15 stages. As before, the player can choose their course and the soundtrack. OutRun 2 has been overhauled with 3D graphics and a local networked multiplayer system. Sega licensed seven Ferrari vehicles for OutRun 2, including the Testarossa from the original game. The soundtrack was completely rearranged, bringing in seven pieces of music with styles ranging from instrumental rock to upbeat ballads. The original 1986 music is also unlockable.
