OutRun 2 (Japanese: アウトラン2), is a racing game originally released for arcade machines on December 1, 2003, but later was exclusively released for the Xbox on October 1, 2004.
Game modes[]
- Outrun Race - the player drives through 5 of 15 stages, selecting the next course via forks on the road. There is a time limit which is extended when the player passes through checkpoints.
- Heart Attack Mode - the player drives the open-ended course to a time limit (as in OutRun Race), and the passenger will frequently request certain stunts and actions. These requests, carried out through marked sections of the course, can include passing traffic cars, drifting around bends, driving through marked lanes, knocking over cones, and simply not crashing into anything for as long as possible. If the player is successful, they will receive heart points and, at the end of the request section, will be graded according to their performance. At the end of the stage, the player will receive an average grade based on performance during previous stunts. Crashing into the scenery or driving off-road at any time will result in the player losing hearts. Should the player reach a goal with a satisfying grade and within the time limit, they will receive a more romantic ending.
- Time Attack Mode - the player races a 'ghost' car over a pre-selected course to the time limit. Time checks are presented to the player at various points on each stage.
