released on Mar 12, 2001

A remake of Daytona USA

Daytona USA 2001 is a remake of the arcade classic Daytona USA with upgraded graphics and expanded features. The game contains the original three arcade tracks, the two extra tracks from the Championship Circuit Edition, and three new tracks exclusive to this version, all of which can be reversed and/or mirrored for additional layouts. In addition to the usual time attack and single-track races, there is also a Championship mode that strings together multiple courses, as well as online play that was briefly available after the game's launch.

Prettier and with more content than ever but with almost no charisma at all and on top of that the drifting mechanic fucking sucks

Even when you adjust the controls and make it closer to the original game it still just sucks. But if you like it there is plenty of content here for what it is. Play Ridge Racer.

Just never felt quite right to me, some turns are a bit too demanding for the arcadey fun the aesthetics suggest, and the prettiest tracks are just absurdly complicated to a point they are boring to even consider playing (but that are perhaps ideal to eat your money on the real machines they were designed for). It is slim with its content as well.

The cars could maybe steer a bit better and sometimes they feel like they're on soap but the game is general is really amazing and a must play on the sega dreamcast :)

Politics is when they changed "Gentlemen, start your engines" to "Ladies & Gentleman, hasten your clunkers".

classic daytona gameplay, but with extra cars and tracks, plus a championship mode. the drifting feels slightly off to me compared to the arcade original, but overall very little to complain about here.
