Celebrating 10 years of OutRun 2 (Xbox version, played on Xbox360)

Magical Sound Shower 1986 can be heard here: 28:02

I wanted to Celebrate the sequel to my favorite oldschool sprite scaling racer, OutRun: OutRun 2. I did so by digitally recording this game, and convert the image quality to 1080P. It's recorded with the Elgato gamecapture HD.

The backwards compatibility issues are sometimes quite visible, as not only the frame rate suffers, but also sometimes, the stages loads in to late, leaving your car driving over a invisible road for one or two seconds.

Sorry for the bad gameplay. I did not practice before recording, and i've lost the edge a bit :-D But this video was never meant to show off my skills, but to celebrate the best sequel i have ever played.

What i recorded:
- All endings and all stages from the OutRun 2 arcade game in arcade mode.
- The two bonus tracks that can be played: Scud race and Daytona USA 2 tracks.
- Small part of the bonus game, the first Arcade version of OutRun.

Due to the badly working back compatibility from the Xbox 360, the frame rate is not as fluid as the original game, and the emulation of the 1986 version is hardly playable, and has disrupted sprites, and twitchy gameplay, so i quit the recording after i reached stage 2 on OutRun. If you do want to see the complete run on all the OutRun stages, you can find a video on my channel where i finish all stages and endings from OutRun on the Sega Saturn.

Game info below from Wikipedia:
In 2004, OutRun 2 was ported to the Xbox. The task of coding shared by Sega AM2 and UK-based developers Sumo Digital, who were able to condense the game from the 512MB platform to 64MB. They succeeded in doing so, with a European release on 1 October 2004 followed by the U.S. release on October 25, 2004.
The port preserves the look and feel of the arcade original, but with the additions of 480p anamorphic widescreen support and tweaks to make it more suitable for home play. The arcade game was imported to provide a game type for the port, named simply "OutRun Arcade". This joins two other game types: OutRun Challenge, which includes 101 'missions' distributed over the 15 stages; and OutRun Xbox Live. The Tracks from Scud Race and Daytona USA 2 can be unlocked as a bonus.
In addition, some content from the arcade game is locked away alongside new, unique content, such as extra cars, extra music tracks, and even the original Out Run game itself. This content is unlocked as the player completes the OutRun Challenge missions. Some slight changes were made to the Arcade version such as the 3D model for the newer Testarossa Spider being replaced with a customised Testarossa from 1984. The Japanese version of the game was slightly altered further, fixing some glitches and altering the bonus stages. Another difference is the character Holly wears an all-new costume this time and the character Clarissa wears her original costume from the Japanese arcade version (basically the same except it is more revealing than the costume used for the western versions). Jennifer and Alberto are the only ones who did not wear different costumes.
On June 12, 2007 this game was added to the Xbox 360 backward compatibility list.
