Daytona USA 2001 (DC) Reviews

Daaaytooonaaa...the familiar theme tune still exists in the latest incarnation of Sega's classic racer. Daytona is the racer with a handling system unlike any other and it's this that presents most of the challenge in the game, whether this is a good or bad thing is up to the player as some will no doubt struggle with controlling ...  Read the complete review

Daytona USA 2001 is not the best racing game I have ever played in my life and to be perfectly honest, Sega have been disgraceful in their decision to NOT include the promised online play – the Americans and Japanese have this mode, but we do not. Why is this? Sega claims that they wanted the game to be released at a certain time, ...  Read the complete review

A long time ago, back in the era of Amigas and Megadrives, when 16bit was king, I bought issue 1 of a magazine called 'Click'. It only made it to issue 2 before vanishing from the shelves, no doubt having been filed under "Good idea at the time". 'Click' was novel because it came on video, with filmed interviews of game ...  Read the complete review

Ah, memories. I can still remember the thrill of my first play on Dayatona, sat in the oversized driving seat, tearing around the oval circuit at breakneck speed.
