If you are a racing game fan, this title is a must-have.
If you are a nostalgic gamer like myself, the title is a must-have. If you’re a PS Plus subscriber it is priced at a much more reasonable $6.99.
#DAYTONA USA GAME RELEASE FULL#
The full PlayStation Network price of $9.99 (800 MSP) seems a bit steep for such an old game but the fun factor definitely makes up for it. Just as in Arcade Mode, multiplayer is a straightforward race to the finish.ĭaytona USA is no doubt a lot of fun for an arcade racing game. In all honesty, not many people were playing online at the time of this review but I did manage to get into a game with 3 other players.
#DAYTONA USA GAME RELEASE DRIVERS#
Multiplayer pits you against real players instead of CPU drivers unless you want to add them to the mix as well. Precision and attention to both yourself and your opponents are what will be rewarded with a high score.įinally, we come to multiplayer. If you hit a wall or hit other cars, it will hinder your time to get to the checkpoint with a penalty of about 25 seconds. For every car that you pass, you get a time extension. The game puts you into the tracks with a lot of laps to complete, and by a lot I mean 80 for the Beginner Track alone. Survival Mode is a test of endurance and one of my new favorite modes to play.
#DAYTONA USA GAME RELEASE TRIAL#
Time Trial puts you onto the track to see what your best lap times are while you are the only car on the asphalt. The next two offerings are Time Trial and Survival Mode. With no real scoring system for the Karaoke mode, I don’t see it serving any true purpose unless you are throwing a karaoke party and ran out of songs to sing. Karaoke Mode pits you on the track with the game’s soundtrack song lyrics at the bottom.
The challenges you will face vary from reaching the goal without hitting any walls to drifting around a corner. Challenge Mode is exactly what it is, 10 sets of challenges on each of the 3 available tracks. The 4 new game types are: Challenge, Karaoke, Time Trial and Survival. There is now an extras menu with 4 game types to choose from. The ‘Advanced Track’ is a 4 lap run against 19 other opponents, and the ‘Expert Track’ is a 2 lap run against 29 opponent cars.
First of the three is the ‘Beginner Track’, an 8 lap run against 39 other opponents. First off, the title features the very-nostalgic Arcade Mode, which has 3 tracks to choose from. Daytona USA offers a few modes that were absent from previous versions of the game. The sights and sounds were just as I remembered, from the introductory “ROLLING START!” to the cars driving by. Immediately upon loading Daytona USA, I jumped right into the Arcade Mode and was thrown into a 40 car brawl to the finish. Additionally in 1995, Daytona USA was one of the launch titles when the Sega Saturn launched in the USA. Daytona USA was released in arcades in 1993 and was the first to debut on the Sega Model 2 arcade board which allowed for more texture mapping in the levels. Before going into this review, let me give a little history on one of my favorite arcade racing games of all time.
