The best revision of classic OutRun, and has 3D effects that aren't annoying
godlike arcade driving game the music and vibe are unmatched. the 3D is so we implemented, im obsessed
I never truly grasped the concept of OutRun up until now.
I’ve played bits of it a few times but, by never truly playing it extensively, I only thought of it as a “sit and relax” type of game, with the only objective being driving through different scenery for as long as you could.
Well, I forgot this was an AM2 game. The focus is still the raw fun, but there was, indeed, a true objective behind the gameplay.
After getting bored of playing Kirby Triple Deluxe, I took advantage of my 3DS being still turned on and decided to give 3D OutRun a try, completely unpretentiously. And I’m glad that I did it.
Whilst not a racing game, OutRun is a driving game. You hit the gas pedal and go through different roads, trying to hit checkpoints with remaining time until the finish line, all of this while trying to dodge nearby vehicles, making sharp turns and shifting the car’s gears to reach higher and slower speeds depending on the situation at hand.
The concept and controls are very simple, but what truly hooks you in is everything else that makes this a really compelling and fun arcade experience.
It looks great, sounds great, but, most of all: it plays amazingly.
The real fun of this game comes from trying to maintain your speed whilst shifting gears and not hitting on other cars and objects by the sides of the road, and the game presents enough variety to always keep you on the edge of your seat.
And, oddly enough, by still keeping a chill, relaxed vibe behind all of it.
Not only that, but every once in a while you’ll be granted the choice of going on different paths that lead you to a different roads with their own scenery and obstacles. Going through all of these will grant you six different “endings”, and it is super fun to play your best to see them all.
On top of all that, this 3DS remaster comes in as one of, if not the best version of the game. Whilst the original Arcade port (which runs at 30 FPS) can still be unlocked by getting all six endings, it runs by default at 60 FPS, making the game run extremely fluidly and enhancing the feeling of speed present in the original. You can also unlock improvements to your car that can make the gameplay easier, but combining different parts also changes the look of the car itself. With the addition of two new music tracks, there’s more than enough variety here to keep the game as engrossing as it was back in the late 80’s.
OutRun was a very, very pleasant surprise. Now I truly get why it is the classic that it is. Games like these are the exactly the ones that remind me why I love videogames so much!

OutRun is undoubtably one of the greats, and this is the definitive port. At 60 fps, with optional (stunning) stereoscopic 3D, and additional music tracks, it doesn't get better than this (save for maybe the deluxe cabinet). Will you enjoy it? I'd hope. But if you can't enjoy cruising in a Ferrari Testarossa Spider, with a Yamaha YM2151 blasting out some chill as hell city pop, as a 16-bit sunset descends into the horizon, I can't help you.
Seeing old 8bit and 16bit games using the stereo 3D effect is what sold the console for me. A bummer Nintendo never really capitalized on this. Sega on the other hand released a series of classics and this Out Run port is absolutely phenomenal.
i played this game while i was in the DMV
sega does what nintendon't
i played on the nintendo 3ds

tiny screen but in 3D
Unless you have an OutRun arcade cabinet chilling at home, this is the definitive version of a fantastic game due to being 60fps and widescreen. Also love the two new songs. If you suck, there's also options to make it easier, though funnily enough you have to actually win runs for some of them.
Just a great classic game in an enhaced form. Still loathe the NPC drivers' randomness sometimes though.

Relajante y chulo
Específicamente jugué está versión y
lo adoro, no sé si solo es por la estética, música, y ambientación tan bien lograda que hasta lo considero una experiencia terapéutica, eso sí pinche juego no puedo pasar de la sección 3 XD pero es muy bonito

I've never been into racing games, or driving games in general, but holy fuck
The tight gameplay and mind-melting graphics make it easy to fall in love with this game, even decades after its release. The sprite-based approach might seem dated, but the truth is that not many racing games look as unique and colorful as Outrun does. The 3DS version has easier cars I never used, but it's worth playing for its great use of 3D, two bonus music tracks, and a beautiful 60 FPS option that I can't imagine playing without.
tudo nesse jogo me agrada. os gráficos, lindos e surpreendentes pros padrões de seu tempo, com cores charmosas e vibrantes. a gameplay, que mesmo simples, ainda mostra dificuldade e desafio, e é satisfatória. a música, que mesmo sendo em pouca quantidade, é muito bem feita e nostálgica. fiz todas as 6 rotas, e os finais foram até que engraçados. a versão de 3ds tem bastante customização, pra todo tipo de jogador. eu amei esse jogo.
Adoro la implementación del 3D.
El juego es simple pero divertido. Sin alta pretensión logra lo que se propone. La interfaz puede ser mejor pero es un detalle mínimo.

This is perhaps the best version of Out Run. The port is great and there are some great enhancements made to the game that really comes to life in this 3DS version. The best feature is how well the 3D effect is implemented, it was really fun racing through the different courses and paths in maximum 3D mode, the sprites and colorful nature of the game just lends itself perfectly for this enhanced 3D presentation.
Car go fast nyoom. Going in, I was told that in Outrun you play as the coked up jackass who passes you on the freeway, flipping you off and certainly going towards their eventual big crash and I definitely felt like it. It's the perfectly chaotic arcade racing game with more than solid soundtrack, difficulty and finally a 3D-effect that didn't make me want to gouge my eyes while playing on the 3DS.
I haven't really played the original that much, but this seems like a good way to port the game on the more modern consoles.

I love one of the two new songs. Great port. Beautiful game. Almost 30 years old :)
The most impressive looking 3D effect on the 3DS PERIOD on top of being a faithful version one of the greatest games of all time. Featuring 2 fantastic original compositions by Chibi-Tech! No doubt my 3DS game with the highest playtime.
