This Wednesday: Burn rubber in Outrun Online Arcade on XBLA

same here.

No need to wait for reviews.

This is a port of the newest version of OutRun2SP. OutRun2SP was already released for Xbox/PS2/PSP as "OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast," but the main differences seem to be:

- As they're only advertising 15 "courses," it probably means that the original OutRun2 stages are not included.
- Since it's on 360 and probably based on the Lindbergh version, it should look better (and of course be in high-def).
- Looking at the promo material, I get the feeling that only the main game modes (OutRun mode, Time Attack, Heart Attack) will be included, plus online Vs. I figure that there aren't going to be extra or "campaign" modes, like the "Coast 2 Coast" mode in the last home version, in this new version.

As such, I would expect all of the reviews to say things like "it's the same game we played a few years ago" and "not enough innovation" and "you bought this already," rather than pointing out the great control, attention to detail in the graphics and the fun gameplay.

I can only hope that enough folks will ignore these reviews, see the game for what it is (which is to say, a lot of fun and worth the $10) and buy it anyway. I'll be buying it tomorrow.

...and, now that I've played it, I can confirm that all of my speculation about the game itself is correct.

Thanks for the info, seriously. I never played the other one, so it'd be new to me. I might check it out on your recommendation.

i wonder if she falls out and yells at you when you crash, like she did in the original
