I remember being impressed by Daytona Arcade. That song is still stuck in my head.

I also remember getting all excited when I finally got the Dreamcast version back in the day. But I was really disappointed. I didn't enjoy it at all. I don't know why but it didn't feel the same as playing it in the arcades. Maybe it was because the graphics felt dated when I played it since the PS2 just came out.

My favorite arcade racers over the years are:

1. Mario Kart Double Dash

2. Split/Second

3. Pure

4. Burnout Revenge

7. Mario Kart DS

8. Ridge Racer 6

9. MotorStorm Arctic Edge

10. ExciteBike 64

I think if I played NFS Hot Pursuit, going by Leo's love for the game, the reviews, and video previews, it'd probably be top 5 on my list. I got to hand it to the Burnout guys...they really revived the NFS series.

Some new Goldeneye Impressions from GAF

Anasui Kishibe said:

amazing. This game is amazing.


          Having played (and loved almost physically) the original Goldeneye I had really low hopes on this one, at least until good reviews started to kick in, and impressions from you guys cemented my urge to play it. So today i unwrapped it, linked the Classic Controller (I can't really play fast-paced FPSes with the 'mote because the cursor always gets stuck on a 360 spin-out) and played the first level.


          woah, it IS different. It's longer, too. Took me three hours to get out of Arkhangelsk. I've tried to go all stealth, because stealth in GE is actually great fun. I know I could've done it, but some guards just loved to notice me. The AI is good. The amount of stuff you've got to do in every section is great (I'm playing Agent). Difficulty is appropriate, I died a LOT of times, but never- never- felt frustrated because if you forget to check the radar, or to shoot the camera down, it's always your fault, not some cheaparse design decision.

          Design is flawless, this is really a labor of love. Lots of different ways to accomplish things, should I kill that guard guns ablaze or find an alternate path? Wait, that's a shaft. I'll go there instead- , pure shootemup sections, great voice acting (well of course!) and a variety that you rarely see in a FPS. I cannot wait to put some more hours into it. And haven't even touched multiplayer..


           damn it. I think I love this game.

Maybe it was because the graphics felt dated when I played it since the PS2 just came out.

Daytona 2001 (DC) wasn't quite as good as the original but it was still great. I think it still looks very nice with the exception of some elements like the bridge in one of the stages. Really smooth and colorful as ever. The shine effect was weird at first but it grew on me. It was a really, really good update overall. Of course, playing with an analog stick after using an arcade steering wheel with sweet force feedback wouldn't ever feel the same. The default sensitivity settings were a bit too touchy as well, but it didn't take much to adjust them to your liking. Although I still wonder why they didn't bring over Daytona 2 instead of do almost a remake like 2001. I've never played it though so maybe that one sucked, I don't see it talked about much anywhere, people just seem to know of the original, the Saturn ports (one bad, one better), and the Dreamcast quasi sequel. Even the recent arcade reintroduction of Daytona HD (no graphical enhancements other than resolution/widescreen, they just made new cabinets as it's still popular but it was hard and costly to repair such old systems, and got rid of things they no longer have the licence for, like, uh, Daytona, as it's now called SEGA Racing Classic) is just for the original game.
