This is the Japaneses version of the original Xbox version of Outrun 2 being played on a soft modded original Xbox. I don't have the ability to capture HD footage from from the original Xbox (unlike the Euro version of Outrun 2 I upload yesterday using the Xbox 360), so it's in SD via an RGB Cable and not as nice looking. In all the footage I've uploaded in the past of me playing the Daytona USA 2 bonus 'Challenge Course' in Outrun 2, I've always stuck to automatic transmission. I decided to have another stab at it using manual gears, using the gear drifting technique (much faster way of drifting than breaking) - and in doing so I managed to shave 12 seconds off the time from my last upload (and 15 from the one before that). Cool. The Japanese version of Outrun 2 on the Xbox is a lot more accurate to the arcade original version of Daytona 2 Power Edition's Challenge course. The most obvious differences are: □ The Outrun 2 Challenge course track now starts at the same location as the original Daytona one (in the EU and US versions for some reason it starts further back). □ The bunki section when you leave the 'Advanced' Course to join the 'Expert' course is now covered so it looks more like the original Daytona 2 track (It's still a lot longer on the Outrun 2 version though). □ The point where you start the 'Expert' track in the Outrun 2 version is now the same as Daytona 2. In the EU and US versions it started in a completely different part of the 'Expert' track which was much further back in the countryside area before you reached Vitrua City/New Joke City I do a quick split-screen comparison between the two at the end of the first run. This is as close to a perfect run on this track I've been able to get so far, but I did very slightly mess up coming out of the city section leading top the docks and lost speed. The big 360 corkscrew bit at the end of the second level (Daytona 2's Expert track) is a right pain in the arse in both the UK and Japanese versions.
