There are also three different race modes available: 'Beat the Clock,' a time-trial race with only the player's car racing around the track 'Real Players Only' where only participating racers' cars are on the track, great for competitions and tournaments. For the more advanced racers, the Black Phantom Racing car reaches top speeds of 209 mph(AT) and 212 mph(MT) and is fairly hard to drive. The Scorpio Plasma Racing car can be used by the average player with top speeds of 206 mph(AT) and 208 mph(MT). The Easy Chums Gum Racing car is ideal for beginners because it is easy to steer with speeds of 201 mph(AT) and 204 mph(MT).

There is little doubt that the Model 3 Step 2 hardware is the most powerful graphics engine on the market today. Daytona 2, however, was created especially for the Model 3 board.

The development team is the same as it was for the original Daytona, but new designers were brought in for a fresh look. The deluxe version features a new motion system, the Crash Impact Generator that delivers shocks to the player's back and soles of his/her feet upon impact as well as the feel of the engine's rumbling. No other game can handle that many players at once. Can Daytona 2 sell in a market drowning in vehicle-driven simulations?Īs with all driving games these days, there is a stand-up and deluxe version of the game, and either can be linked with up to 15 more using a dedicated network.

Ask a video game player what his/her favorite arcade driving game is, and you're to get a response like ' Outrun dude, it was the best.' OK, now find someone unmarried and beardless and the answer would undoubtedly be Daytona.
