No other game can handle that many players at once. Can Daytona 2 sell in a market drowning in vehicle-driven simulations?Īs with all driving games these days, there is a stand-up and deluxe version of the game, and either can be linked with up to 15 more using a dedicated network. Super GT was probably the closest in feel, but it failed to generate anywhere near the hype of Daytona. Jump to 1998, and we've driven just about everything driveable, and with graphics as good or superior to Model 2.

Finishing a race in the top 3 in any course allows the player to view an 'ending' and see the game credits.Ask a video game player what his/her favorite arcade driving game is, and you're to get a response like ' Outrun dude, it was the best.'

By request, an arcade operator could put the game on Grand Prix or Endurance mode to increase the number of laps in a game. It is recommended, however, that the player has had mastery of the course beforehand. Like the original game, mirrored versions of the tracks can also be played by holding down the Start button when selecting the course. The 'time lap' mode also returns, and is accessed in the same manner – by holding down start at the transmission select screen. Just like before, the game has three courses – a Beginner course with 8 laps with a distance of 1 mile (1.6 km), an Advanced course with 4 laps with a distance of 2.5 miles (4.0 km), and a long Expert course with 2 laps with a distance of 5 miles (8.0 km). A notable change from the original is the ability to select a car and corresponding driver, each with varying capabilities for varying levels of player experience. The majority of Daytona USA 2 cabinets were released as deluxe models (with far fewer Twin Cabinets), which could be linked together for up to sixteen players.

The game featured vastly superior graphics, utilizing the Sega Model 3 hardware.
