Virtua Racing was a SEGA arcade that piqued my interest for a little while. Now that I finally got the chance to play it via the SEGA AGES version, this is a quality arcade racing game in my book

The one thing that stood out to me the most when searching YouTube videos for this game was the low-poly 3D visuals. It was one of the first fully polygonal 3D racing games ever created, and even with its modern re-release on M2, they look visually appealing and have a certain charm to it

The game itself is pretty light on content. They're only three tracks, and while I wish there were a bit more, the track designs themselves are pretty solid and the AI in the later courses does put up a good fight

Included in the SEGA AGES version, it features online play and rankings, it adds motion controls, runs up to 60fps with wide-screen support, and has offline split-screen multiplayer races with up to 8 players, which is nuts for just a simple arcade racing game. You can even adjust the colors to make it similar to how was in the arcade release, which is how I set it

Virtua Racing is a decent racing game that has that classic SEGA charm to it. M2 did a lot here to capture this classic game within the comfort of the home. If you haven't played Virtua Racing before and are undecided on which version to go with, the SEGA AGES version is the definitive official to play this game
