A review of the Sega Genesis version.
The only difference between this game and the original Outrun is that this is dull and very boring. I wonder why Sega even bothered making it because it's certainly not worth owning if you have played the first.
The graphics in the arcade version are fine but on the Genesis they are even sparser than before. The handling is terrible. The music bland (where is Magical Sound Shower?) and you cannot choose which way you want to go at the end of each stage, the whole game is stuck on a set course. At the end of every five stages you can choose upgrades for the car that include Hi-Grip Tires, Super Engine and Faster Turbo and no more. While I have no doubt that this would have made a difference in the arcade the Genesis version offers very little advantage to upgrading with these features. And since there are only 3 of them, by the beginning of the 5th race your car will always end up the same way, so there's no REAL customization to it at all.
I was very disappointed with this game. Even the Commodore 64 version that I owned way back in 1989 was better simply because it has Magical Sound Shower included. Do not bother with this game.
