(Car Noises)
-
Woah, listen to that music eh. It s like a hymn from the early 90s. A
-
hymn from the church of arcade games, when men were men and games were games or something
-
like that, I don't know. Anyway, it's Daytona USA. Now, I think Daytona USA is the best racing
-
game this year. You're gonna think I'm just saying that to be an arse and get a rise out
-
of folk. How could I say that in a year that's had Forza 4, F1 2011, Dirt 3 and all these
-
other great racing games? Especially seeing as it's only got 1 car and 3 tracks. Oh my
-
god what an idiot I am. Well seeing as they three tracks are timeless, perfectly designed
-
classics, I think I'm in the right. Three 7 speedway is pretty much what my generation
-
grew up thinking a real NASCAR race looked like, with a giant slot machine and a picture
-
of Sonic carved into a cliff face. Dinosaur Canyon's breathless ascent makes way to perfectly
-
judged hairpins, asking you to tame your beast of a car and drift it like a pro. And Seaside
-
Street Galaxy? Well, conquering this marathon is like perfecting Le Mans in Gran Turismo,
-
trying not to get distracted by the giant statue of Jeffry McWild long enough to keep
-
your car in a control. And that car, what a car. Why would you ever need anything else?
-
Daytona USA's blue Hornet, or yellow if you're a prick and play on manual like I do, is
-
a joy to drive. You're constantly battling to keep it gripped to the road on the straights,
-
and shifting gears like a mad man to get it drifting. It's utterly barmy, but it exists
-
in it's own world, with it's own, convincing realism. It isn't realistic in the same way
-
that Gran Turismo 5 is, but it acts exactly as expected of a car that races around these
-
fantasy worlds. This new release of Daytona USA is pretty much the standard bearer for
-
what HD rereleases looks like. It leaves everything from the arcade original intact, but gives
-
you the benefits of all the mod cons, like widescreen and a brilliant online multiplayer.
-
Folk that don't know better will moan about the graphics, but I think they look beautiful,
-
fast and colourful, with a timeless style all of their own. One major addition is
-
the karaoke mode. Let's be honest, we all know the words to the Daytona soundtrack,
-
but this time you get to kick back with the horses and sing along to your hearts content.
-
Daytona USA is a classic. For the price it's going for, you'd be mental not to pick it
-
up. There's more fun packed into it's three tracks than there is spread out through all
-
these other modern racing games. If you can look past the old fashioned graphics which
-
I think still have a sense of charm about them no other game has, then you're gonna
-
have a whale of a time. Now, if you'll excuse me.
