OutRun2 Fact Sheet

After dances in Junior High my friends and I would go to the local Pizza Hut to eat lots of pizza, shoot spit balls, and play "Outrun." As you drove the pixelated Ferrari with your digital girlfriend sitting next to you screaming, a crowd would gather behind, hoping that you would mess up soon so that someone else could get a shot at it. Now, many years later, "OutRun2" is poised for release in October as an Xbox exclusive. Add in a little XboxLIVE and I just may be able to regain some of my early driving glory. Wilkins, you're going down!
