    OutRun 2 (アウトラン2) for the Xbox is an entry in the OutRun series of games. Despite its name and contrary to popular belief, it is not a straight port of the arcade game OutRun 2, instead building on the content seen in OutRun 2's upgrade, OutRun 2 SP. It was created by Sumo Digital and released for the console in 2004.

    Gameplay

    Modes

    Outrun 2 offers a variety of game modes for single or multiple players. Each game mode also determines which girl you will ride with.

    Outrun Arcade

    Lets you play the main Outrun 2 arcade game.

    • Outrun Mode: Drive from start to the goal line while driving through any route of your choice.
    • Heart Attack Mode: Plays like a regular game of Outrun 2 with additional challenges your girlfriend presents to you. During a small section of the track, you'll be given the task to drift, pass cars, and other challenges to up your heart rank. You'll earn either ranks ranging from E, D, C, B, A, AA and AAA.
    • Time Attack Mode: Pick a goal to drive to and drive to the finish for the best time.

    Outrun Challenge

    Features several console-exclusive features such as additional challenges and multiplayer.

    • Outrun Missions: Each path on the map gives you a number of challenges
    • Party Missions: Up to four players on one console take turns competing in a custom or randomly set matches.
    • Outrun Race: Race against others.
      • Rival Race: Race against a CPU player on any unlocked course.
      • Time Trials: Race from start to finish on any of the 16 stages either normal or reversed, or through any of the 16 possible routes.
      • System Link: Up to eight consoles/players can play on specified race courses. Outside of friend lists, it offers the same set of features as the Outrun Xbox Live mode.

    Outrun Xbox Live

    Up to eight players can play online through custom matches or Time Attack score challenges. You can also download ghost data of the best times from the leaderboards. Because Microsoft discontinued their Xbox Live services for their first Xbox console, this feature is no longer available.

    Cards

    Completing certain challenges will unlock a card that features an element from Outrun 2, Ferrari branded cars or merchandise with some facts. There are 142 cards total.

    Cars

    OutRun 2 on the Xbox retains all the cars from the arcade OutRun 2 and OutRun 2 SP, but adds two new ones.

    F355 Spider
    The F355 Spider (1995-1999) is similar, but not the same car used in F355 Challenge - the Spider is a soft-top model less equipped to deal with the racing environment.
    328 GTS
    The 328 GTS (1985-1989).

    History

    Legacy

    This OutRun 2 collates the contents of the arcade OutRun 2 and OutRun 2 SP while adding new modes and features, such as 101 "missions", a "heart attack" mode and 8-player online support through Xbox Live, system link or up to four player hotseat. It also adds two extra cars (the F355 Spider and 328 GTS) and a course based on tracks in the Sega Model 3 game Scud Race, as well as one based on tracks from Daytona USA 2: Power Edition.

    Aside from working with the same base assets, it is completely unrelated to the PlayStation 2 port of OutRun 2 SP - the PlayStation 2 game, which was also handled by Sumo Digital, is mostly identical to the arcade game.

    This version of OutRun 2 was followed by the multi-platform OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, also developed by Sumo Digital.
