A lot was expected of the the Sega Saturn version of Daytona USA.
Visually speaking it is a pale shadow of the arcade favourite - but after a few races the gameplay really shines.
Great fun - highly recommended with the Racing Controller [HSS-0115].

CD case, Sega Saturn CD-ROM disc, 14-page colour manual, spine card.

Daytona USA Circuit Edition

Publisher Sega
Product ID GS-9100

Weight (kg) 0.10
PRICE
STATUS
The original SS Daytona USA had its fair share of critics, so an update was a very welcome prospect.
The 'Circuit Edition' features vastly improved visuals, 2 new courses ('National Park Speedway' & 'Desert City'), a 2P split-screen mode and best of all - 2P versus game for the link-up Taisen Cable [HSS-0107].
Sadly it suffers from erratic collisions and questionable gameplay. What on earth happened? It's still a top noth driving game, but it really could have done with a little more work.


CD case, Sega Saturn CD-ROM disc, 40-page colour manual, spine card.

Much was expected of Daytona USA for the Dreamcast, but again Sega fall short of the mark. The problem is that It just doesn't play that well on pad - it's OK on the DC Steering Wheel, but still something doesn't feel right.
Features all the courses from the original game & 'Circuit Edition', and adds 3 new tracks ('Rin Rin Rink', 'Circuit Pixie' and 'Mermaid Lake').

CD case, Dreamcast GD-ROM disc, 28-page colour manual, spine card.
