Tried the demo, run out of time halfway through the 2nd area - just like in the arcade :P

its fun for a nice quick blast but if youve played coast to coast then theres nothing new here. still the achievement thing being retro is quite nice, chasing gumball king is a bitch 14:34 is my best so far :)

US readers will be disappointed to note that for completely unexplained reasons, the game is only available for the PS3 in Europe.

Shouldn't that read "the game is only available available for the PS3 in the US"?

My main disappointment with this game is the lack of split screen play. But overlooking that, the rest of it is great. As mentioned, there's nothing new compared to C2C (in fact, IIRC C2C had more unlockables with original arcade music and so-on - at least on the PC).

For the price though, it's a great game :)

Nope.... US readers will be disappointed *because* the game is only available for the PS3 in Europe, so therefore they won't be able to buy it.

Agree that lack of split-screen is disappointing. In terms of unlockables, I think C2C and OOA are broadly similar, the difference being in OOA all the cars etc are unlocked from the start.

CTC was basically outrun 2 with Outrun 2 SP added on, OOA is basically missing a several cars (i think) and all of the outrun 2 course and the classic 1986 music

It's missing the original Outrun 2 course, but all the cars from Outrun 2 SP are in OOA.

Ah right, I mis-read that :)

Ah, yes, you're right, those aren't in OOA - it's a bit tricky to find reliable lists of what was in C2C, and I didn't have a copy to hand when writing the review! My apologies :)
