“The sun is blazing outside, and I’m coming to terms with the fact that spring is finally here, because I’m trapped inside, my eyes a puffy mess, my nose dripping constantly. Despite sitting in the dark, with a roof over my head in my hay-fever prison, I’m still able to enjoy the sight of the bluest skies I’ve ever seen.

Thank god for Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast and its acres of blue skies. So relentlessly bright and beautiful is this title that it feels like it should have been released in the dead of winter and given on prescription to anyone suffering from Seasonal Affect Disorder, because it is one bright, sunshiny day of a videogame.”

A very positive review of a very excellent game which I still enjoy from time to time. One of those perfect titles you should never get rid of; you never know when you’re going to fancy a quick race. I admit unlocking stuff eventually gets tiresome, but it’s such a classic arcade racer.
