Описание: Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast (PC) - Flagman 4 - Part 6

OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, released as OutRun 2 SP in Japan, is a 2006 racing video game developed by Sumo Digital and published by Sega. It is the ninth title in the Out Run series, and the final one to have a physical release. The game is an updated version of OutRun 2 (2003) and is split into two parts: a conversion of OutRun 2 SP (which itself includes the OutRun 2 levels) and "Coast 2 Coast", which includes single-player races and challenges, and local network and internet multiplayer.

Coast 2 Coast was released for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable initially, with a Windows release following later; in Japan, OutRun 2 SP only saw a PlayStation 2 release. Each version includes system-specific features, including a link-up feature between the PS2 and PSP versions, a different mission set for the PSP, and Xbox Live support on the Xbox. The game received generally favorable reviews.

Gameplay:
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is a racing game with similar gameplay to its predecessor, OutRun 2. Cars have varying classes ranging from Novice to Professional, with increased top speeds and diminished handling as the difficulty rises. New to the OutRun series is the addition of a separate "OutRun" class, which applies to every car and allows each car to have increased performance in all aspects; cosmetic changes including racing stripes and decals as well as completely renovated bodywork are also evident.

Coast 2 Coast features 15 different cars, the most ever seen in any OutRun game. In addition to the ten vehicles from OutRun 2 SP, new models include the 550 Barchetta, F355 Spider, Superamerica, 328 GTS and the Ferrari F430. Some models, music tracks and variations of starting courses cannot be unlocked on the PlayStation Portable or PlayStation 2 without the use of the cross-system connectivity feature inherent of the two systems (as a result of PSP connectivity being removed from the Japanese PS2 version, all PSP unlockables are included in the Japanese PS2 version from the start) or cheat codes.

"Coast 2 Coast" mode is the game's "career" mode, in which there are many challenges (labeled as "missions") to complete, which can include racing rivals for the top position, thrilling the player's passenger by completing their requests to execute certain driving maneuvers, or tests of memory and logic. The racing modes from OutRun 2 SP ("OutRun", "Heart Attack" and "Time Attack") return, while four extra modes exclusive to the "Coast 2 Coast" mode are added:

Test Your Drift: A one-on-one race with the objective of accumulating points by drifting through bends.
Test Your Slipstream: The player must drive behind traffic vehicles to collect the points and beat rivals.
Avoid the Knockout: An elimination race where the last-placed car at the end of each stage is eliminated from the challenge.
Don't Lose Your Girlfriend: Another one-on-one duel in which the player must stay ahead of the rival couple until their "heart points" reach 0.

When the game is started for the first time, a limited selection of cars, tracks, challenges and background music is available. Each individual element can be unlocked through the exchange of "OutRun Miles", which are points that players earn for progression through the game, though any given mission or race does not need to be finished to earn OutRun Miles. Some unlockables are missing in Coast 2 Coast compared to the earlier home version of OutRun 2, namely the original OutRun from 1986 and the bonus tracks from Daytona USA 2 and Scud Race.

The game featured an online mode for up to six players. The online service for the PC, PS2 and PSP versions of the game was discontinued in May 2009. The Xbox Live servers went offline on April 15, 2010 due to the discontinuation of Xbox Live for Xbox. The Xbox version remains playable online through the Insignia unofficial replacement Xbox Live service.
