The Dreamcast version looks as good as (and, in fact, somewhat better than) the arcade version. People looking for the arcade game at home can finally relax. Lastly, it contains three original tracks tailored around this new version's biggest addition: Internet play.ĭespite the ambivalence of the opening remarks, there is a lot of "good" here. It includes the original three arcade tracks, fully intact, plus both extra tracks from Daytona CCE, although these have been slightly modified. Instead, it is yet-another remake of the original arcade game. Fans called out for Daytona 2 on Dreamcast, and Sega heard them. A sequel to Daytona USA was released into arcades a couple of years ago, and the Dreamcast seems a much more capable piece of hardware than its not-so-illustrious predecessor. In 1997, Sega also released a direct-sale-only version that added support for Sega's Netlink modem peripheral, allowing two gamers to compete head-to-head over a direct modem-to-modem connection. Daytona CCE addressed many of Daytona USA's problems on the Saturn, bumping up the framerate, adding a split-screen two-player mode, and creating two additional tracks.
Sega quickly promised that a new version of Daytona would be released, and in 1996 they released Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition. The in the car viewpoint gives the greatest sense of speed as well as of being in the car. Additionally, the game was a straight port of its arcade parent, with nothing new for home gamers to enjoy. However, Daytona USA on the Saturn suffered from a lack of multiplayer options, poor framerate, and almost-criminal levels of terrain pop-up. The racer first came home on the Sega Saturn a year later, as one of the launch titles for that system.
Originally released in arcades in 1994, Daytona remains a popular mainstay in the present day, mostly due to the fact that the arcade cabinets can be linked, allowing up to eight players to race against each other. Sega's Daytona USA racing game will probably go down in history as one of the most remade videogames of all time. I wanna fly-i-i sky high! Let's bo-o-o-o-o so fur rye! - Review By Vash T.
