What the hell does that have to do with anything? Most people on here are Japanese game loving whores. I'm just saying Burnout 3 is more fun overall than OutRun 2 IMO.Quote:

I found both games to be interesting at first, but they both got old quickly.

True, but I actually still dig Burnout 3 and Outrun 2 I'm sick of already and I JUST got it.Quote:

This is not about being 'arcadey' versus 'sim-like'. This is about having a racing game where such things as taking the proper line around corners and throttle/wheel control matter. As simple as Outrun 2 may seem, the game penalizes the player huge for even small instances of lawn mowing, to the point where they cut down on the time loss for going off the track and crashing severely in Outrun 2 SP. Whereas in Burnout 3 you can just boost and ride along the walls and lose almost no speed. Another stupid thing about Burnout 3 is that the course layouts are not very good -- it is rare in that game that more than one turn comes after another in quick succession, so that the racing lines around each one are actually affected.Quote:

The most popular racing games are for the majority. For example, a lot of people like nice cars but not the actual racing aspect. That's why GT is so popular. Plus a lot of people like like crashing etc. Not many like pure racing, F1, though. So it would be easy as hell for someone to say Bunrout 3 rules but F355 sucks. Why?Because true racing fans are seriously outnumbered. That's why EA is like the number one publisher but is no where near the top in development because they have the mob on their side. A person that plays mainly FPS or RPGs would probably choose Burnout 3 while a person that watches F1 and plays racing games mainly would choose Outrun 2 probably or neither(since outrun 2 is more of a cruising the highway type of game). The majority on this board is certainly the former though. The people that only buy long games for full price and disregard sports games completely. If you had a poll between street racing and F1. People would like choose street racing probably even though its like the most skill-less form of racing there is.Quote:

You just described Outrun 2 (aside from the intending to crash bit, naturally).Quote:

Both games are very much the same in a lot of ways, the main differences are that one is much faster and focused on hurting the competition and the other is about happily cruising while doing extended drifting. It's not like this is RR vs. GT, you're describing two pretty similar games. It basically comes down to how intense or relaxing you'd prefer it to be, I generally play Outrun 2 when I'm mellow and don't feel like concentrating because it's so peaceful and easy to just run through.
I like Outrun 2 because it's so damn unrealistic that you can win a race passing someone by sideways faster than they're going in the direction cars normally are pointed. I love the drift gimmick. And online play is incredible fun, even though I almost never have time for it. Missions are pretty cool too. It is simple, but some people enjoy simple things. Just because something isn't to your tastes doesn't mean it's flawed in any way. It's just trying to accomplish something that isn't interesting to you.
I just got this game but It's already my favorite racer. The only things that bug me so far are the music (except for the classic OR tunes, because they rock) and that stupid Max Speed mission. I got at least an A on every mission on my first attempt until I got to that mission. Now I've been stuck on it for days. Very poor indeed.
I finally got to play this one. I can give a perfectly descriptive and accurate review of the game using only two words: Outrun 2
This game is so "Outrun 2" that it's amazing. It is quite litterally Outrun + new roads + 3D graphics + a crazy powerslide. That's not just good, that's great! I love the orriginal Outrun.
Anyway, the world needs more games like this. Dead simple, no commitment, fun, quick, pretty, addictive games. This should have been a $20 game out of the gate, but oh well.
I love it.
Meh, that's your oppinion.Quote:

So yeah, in this world of Halo blah blah blah, Outrun 2 is that great.
