Can't think of a more definitive driving game. OutRun's romantic vistas and roadsmart gameplay get translated perfectly to 3D, with tasteful additions like the slipstream, drifting and a cute mission mode where you make your girlfriend happy while driving that are absolutely faithful to the original game's purity. You could argue this sequel is a much easier game than the first, but it's above all a much more cozy game to play. Now you don't have to worry about things like guessing depth perception or playing tug of war with every turn! It's smooth driving and decision making at its most distilled, making for a game that's easy to indulge and explore to your heart's content.

I may have a fear of driving or a massive disinterest in car culture on the whole, but I love OutRun 2.
