OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (PSP)

The reason as to why I bought my PSP was simple; I wanted to play a game that I was simply addicted to when I used to go to the arcades when I was on a family holiday at the seaside. The game was Out Run and was originally released back in 1986, the whole setup was a step forward in gaming as this was one of the first games that you actually sat inside with the whole cabinet moving as you played and drove the Ferrari Testarossa from the Start line. This was a real breakthrough in gaming terms. As this was the attempt at adding something new to the experience. So the technology has moved on considerably since my arcading days some 20 years ago, I can now sit on ...  Read the complete review

What can I say about this game apart from the fact that when I was younger it was the reason for visiting the local arcade. This was a game in which you got to drive a Ferrari, not only did you drive it but you sat in it too! You sat in a Ferrari Testarossa with a steering wheel and pedals and "drove" your car round the virtual circuit, I must have spent tens of pounds playing it. When I saw it was being released on the PSP I just knew I had to have it, I remember loading it for the first time hoping against hope that it was like I remembered, wondering if the little Sony console could do it justice. Well I need not have worried ...  Read the complete review

Rating - 3+ Multiplayer - Yes This is the psp adaptation of outrun 2 and as far as I'm aware it is the exact same game. I first played this game on the arcade machine so I decided to pick it up.

You can gain money by completing races or challenges and with this you can buy new cars or colours. The heart attack mode offers loads of fun challenges, from drifting along a highlighted path to avoiding ...  Read the complete review

Back in the old days of banging your cash into the old arcade machines, one of the most popular att he time was Outrun, from what I can remember it was one of the first to actually have a wheel and breaks on it to use which instalntly gained it notariety, I remember playing it for hours on holiday in Spain back than and loving every minute of it. Of course it made the computers back then too and I had it on the Amiga , however the game was severley hampered by not having the wheel and pedals. So how could the PSP version handle it in the modern era. The answer? Pretty well, The graphics are very sharp and look very bright and colourful. The game ...  Read the complete review

we purchased this game for our 2 sons aged 9 and 5 to share.games are normally fairly expensive but we got this online for 19.99 which i felt was quite reasonable as we bought it just after it was released.After playing this game once the whole family was hooked on it,its really a fun game.there are lots of different tracks and cars to choose from and as you progress through the game you earn outrun miles which you then build up to buy new cars,colours,trcks etc. you unlock different parts of the game as you progress through and there is also quick races if you just want a quick game rather than creating a profile and collecting points.The good thing about the psp ...  Read the complete review
