     > OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is the sequel to last year's OutRun 2, an excellent arcade racer.  This time around Sega is releasing the game on Xbox, PS2, PSP and PC.  Once more, Sumo Digital is at the helm of the conversion.

     > OutRun 2006 introduces a new upgrade scheme in "OutRun Miles", which can be earned while racing.  Once earned, head to the showroom to exchange Miles for new Ferrari cars (including all-new race-tuned models), more music, new courses and more.  Miles can be accrued in single-player and multiplayer modes.

     > High stakes racing across America takes place in one of four Quickstart single player modes. Drive Coast 2 Coast in Heart Attack or Race mode, while enjoying the scenery of American canyons, great forest redwoods and west coast beaches.  Beat the clock and your rivals across 15 branching stages in OutRun mode.  Back by popular demand is the honey-pleasing Heart Attack mode, where you must meet the requests of your female passenger.  Lastly, Time Attack mode returns with the challenge of your ghost or that of anyone's (via Xbox Live upload).

     > In Multiplayer mode, your skills in Outrunning are gauged in the Xbox Live community, while racing with up to six players head-to-head. Play in Quick Game, Custom Game, and Create Game modes, in an effort to be ranked #1 in the world!  This should add greatly to the replayability factor.

     > Here's a list of the cars in the game:

  • Dino 246 GTS
  • 365 GTS 4 (Daytona)
  • F50
  • 360 Spider
  • F355 Spider
  • Superamerica
  • Testarossa
  • 288 GTO
  • 328 GTS
  • 250 GTO
  • 512 BB
  • F40
  • 550 Barchetta
  • F430
  • Enzo Ferrari
First Impression
     > Outrun 2006 is an officially licensed Ferrari arcade racer on multiple platforms (nice).  If OutRun 2 is any indication of this game's potential, then must-buy status will surely be earned.  Just do me one favor Sumo Digital: don't mess with the gameplay, as it was already mint!
Potential
Overall: 8+
