This is a game that I still have a lot of good memories of. Believe it or not, this was a pretty novel feature back when this game was released.Įven though the Sega Saturn port of Daytona USA could not be any further from being arcade perfect. It does feature damage effects that can alter the way your car handles. It is the kind of racing game that anyone can pick up and play. The gameplay does resemble the Daytona that we all know and love from the arcade. Shaving off seconds here and there on your best times is very addictive. The racing feels loose, arcadey and it is fun to pick up and play. I must admit there is still a lot of charm to this game. While the game may look very downgraded from the arcade original. Sega wanted this as a launch game for the Saturn and as a result, it had to be rushed out of the door and that is the reason for all of the pop-in. Some may think that Daytona USA was a game that was too complicated to port to the Sega Saturn. However, it is not, the actual road in front of you will pop-in as well. You are driving on a bridge and the bridge is being constructed as you are on it! If it was just the scenery that was popping in as you drove, I could maybe deal with that. I have to say that the Sega Saturn port of Daytona has the worst pop-in I have come across in any video game! I legit cannot do justice just how bad the pop-in this game has is.
Still, being able to play Daytona USA in our homes at the time was a huge deal. This was an arcade port so that is the reason why the content is rather shallow. You can play against a friend or do a time trial as well. You can race on their tracks, but there are mirror tracks as well.
You get to pick from a handful of stock cars and you need to try and win the races.
This brand new feature allows spectators to see what’s happening in the race, whether it’s a crash, a pass for position or to find out who’s winning or losing! Have you got what it takes to take the flag again….Let’s start with the point of the game. Sega has gone all out to stand out from the pack! Lit from top to bottom DAYTONA® even has a moulded under seat engine! New game features include a live camera feed so you can enjoy maximum bragging rights as you overtake your friends! Also, brand new to DAYTONA® is the ‘Live TV’ inspired video billboard.
DAYTONA® USA is the holy grail of arcade racing – First launched in 1994, this brand new entry brings Sega’s #1 racer screeching into the 21st century! DAYTONA® Championship USA features three brand new tracks including a recreation of the newly renovated DAYTONA International Speedway®! In addition, the original three classic courses have been remastered for the modern era.
