Daytona USA rocks!

What imaginative vocab I'm using, must get an award!

It is very shiny and happy indeed - the colours are vibrant and I had great fun last night customising! The handling was a bit tricky to start with, but you'll get used to it. So pb, what's yer best time on 3 sevens? I think I got 18.375s with a customised in colour only, Hornet.

ROOORRRIIIIIINNNNNG STOP!

Oh yes!

The good thing about the Dreamcast version is that it uses tracks from both arcade versions and from the Saturn version as well. These can then be mirrored and reversed, giving loads more tracks in theory.

The handling is the only thing I'm not entirely happy about, I've fiddled around with it, but it's still a bit loose for my liking. The game itself is so polished and fantastic though that after a while you won't notice and start getting used to it.

Pad at the moment, but I have a wheel, in the box, somewhere.

I do believe it's even better - the graphics are sweet, there's no back pains from large chunky vibrating plastic, and you can change the colour of your car!

Right - customised 5 different cars, just playing around with the colours, but it's great! More replies please! Can you handle this game?!

Actually that would be copyright infringement - I know it's amazing, but seriously - get the game.
