The Video Game Critic
You simply will not find another Genesis game that makes better use of color - this game is gorgeous. The best stage of all is the opening stretch where you race alongside a sunny beach. If those bright sands, palm trees, cumulus clouds, and deep blue skies don't put you in the mind of summer, then there is no hope for you. Outrun's visual flaws are limited to a choppy-looking beach and clouds that sometimes look like a frickin' tidal wave coming over you! The soundtrack's pleasant tunes convey a carefree, tropical vibe. Long-time fans should recognize titles like "Splash Wave", "Passing Breeze", and "Magical Sound Shower". And be sure to check out the cool stereo effects whenever you pass a car! Simple to play and easy on the eyes, Outrun is arcade racing action at its best.

Aside from some minor scaling issues and the dimmed colors, Out Run for the Genesis is a great game to play and own. I love the feel it has and those endings still crack me up. If you like racers with a twist, check this version out. You won't regret it.

Although it fails to be the classic it was in the arcades, the Mega Drive version is on of the best I've played.
