Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Daytona USA 2001 is taken from the hugely successful arcade game of the same name, and the chances are you'll already have seen this game a thousand times before as you've walked past any seaside video arcade. Tracks have been taken from the original and the Sega Saturn version, and there are also new tracks that are exclusive to the Dreamcast. The range of cars that you can customise via differences in grip, acceleration, and maximum speed help you get around these great courses.

The game is broken up into single player race mode, championship mode, time trail and, of course, multiplayer. Once in the game, you get to race against 40 other cars. As you'd expect, controls are fairly simple, and although the analogue pad is a touch sensitive, you'll soon be power-sliding around those corners in no time. Even though a steering wheel isn't necessary by any means, it elevates the entire experience to a near-godly level of arcade perfection.

Longevity-wise this game holds plenty of options: the multiple tracks can all be varied in length and direction, and the game also holds secrets, with more cars available as you play your way through the championship mode. Graphics are of the usual ilk for the Dreamcast and you'd be mistaken for thinking that once again you're in the arcade shoving your pound coins in the slot.

If you're looking for harmless car racing on a track without having the worries that perhaps MSR's cities or F355's realism present, then get on your marks, get set, GO! --Jason Denwood

Product Description
There are two types of racing games: one for gear-heads who know the difference between double A-arm and panhard rod suspensions, and one for the rest of us who know the difference between gas and brake. If you're in the latter group, listen up, because one of the highest grossing arcade racers of all time, Daytona USA, has come to Dreamcast. You can go head-to-head in two-player split-screen mode, or download other players' driving record and data in the form of a ghost car against which you can develop your racing strategy before uploading your own best times.

5.0 out of 5 stars daytona, 9 Jun 2004
Amazing game this.
I recently took the plunge into dreamcast territory (again)along with Daytona + ferrari wheel.
This game is pure,distilled fun, it practically screams at you to get better, its a true sega great...and get this, EVEN BETTER THAN ARCADE SHOCKER!! true, its all true, the graphics are astounding even standing up to ps2 visuals (considering this is an obsolete console) deserves my utmost admiration for am2's sterling work on the conversion.
The handling on a standard pad is very disorienting at first, but an hour down the line your cutting up and powersliding with the best of em, (on the first track that is).
Be prepared to spend a while learning the other tracks nuances
as they can be tricky to learn, but again this is a good thing, it all adds to the longevity.
I bought a saturn many moons ago simply so I could play Daytona, that too had all the playability but fell waaay short of the arcades class visuals, well dreamcast owners are at last able to get the version EVERY arcade fan has been dying for.
Simply put, if you love the arcade original, you will love this !!!
this review was written on the 08/06/04, just so you know its coming to you with a fresh perspective :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Its Daytona for pete's sake!, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
After buying a dreamcast at Christmas I was beginning to wonder why I had bought one. Then this game comes out. Wow it is so fun, what other racing game lets you put forty cars on one track? You really can just pick it up and play it.. and with a vibration pack it feels great. a very good arcade conversion with extras for the home version, but not quite enough. You would at least expect online racing and the season mode is a bit scrubby but then we can't have everything...maybe Daytona 2002 will, but in the meantime...

1.0 out of 5 stars Dire retro game stripped of its good points, 16 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Don't waste your money on this rubbish. It is a rushed and flawed game. There is no network play and no pit stops. It looks like a ten year old game and adds nothing new, actually removes the multi player and pit stops. I wish I had not been fooled by the good reviews of this. The only thing it has kept is the pop-up! Avoid.
