Outrun Coast 2 Coast feels like summer. The music, the colours, the carefree attitude and the journey, passing through sunlit jungles, neon cities and peaceful villages. It all just feels uniquely summery and joyful. Its bliss.
As for the actual game fully, its also pretty good. Sumo Digital know their arcade racers and this is no exception thanks to pinpoint drift mechanics, fair but difficult level design and an absolutely addictive heart-mode where you rush to complete a variety of driving based objectives.
The sheer amount of content here as well cannot be understated. From having two distinct set of tracks, multiple things to unlock and two large extra modes based around vs racing and said heart-attack mode, theres just a LOT to do and see and it all feels so fulfilling. Weirdly I feel the best way to play this is on the PSP. Sure theres a slight downgrade in graphics but the pick-up and play nature of Outrun is perfect for short bursts on handheld.
Now. I wanna go far away!
