Released in 2003 by Sega, OutRun 2 remains faithful to the racing style of the classic 1986 original. Again players take control of a Ferrari with a friend as the passenger, navigating through 5 out of 15 stages. Just like in the first, players have the freedom to select their route and the music playing in the background.

This time you have a choice from a selection of 7 Feraris’s including the Testarossa which featured in the original.

The games soundtrack was also rewritten with remixes of the 3 tracks from the original game and 4 entirely new tracks. The original games music is also unlockable.

The game had a massive graphical improvement from the original with smoother graphics and faster animations.

Another major improvement from the 1st game was the ability to link up to 4 machines together in networked play.

Gameplay improvements included, a drift and slipstream mechanic which, when performed correctly, gives the player a speed boost.

The single player game features 3 ways to play.

Outrun Mode – This follows the same game mode as the original game. The player drives through 5 of the 15 different stages, selecting the next course via forks on the road. There is a time limit which is extended when the player passes through checkpoints.

Heart Attack Mode – The driver navigates through an open-ended course within a time limit, while the passenger frequently asks for specific stunts and actions. These requests, carried out in marked sections of the course, can include passing traffic cars, drifting around bends, driving through marked lanes, knocking over cones, and simply avoiding crashes for as long as possible. If successful, the player will earn heart points and be graded at the end of the request section. At the end of the stage, the player will receive an average grade based on their performance during previous stunts. Crashing into the scenery or driving off-road at any time will result in the player losing hearts. Achieving a satisfying grade and reaching the goal within the time limit will lead to a more romantic ending.

Time Attack Mode – The player competes against a 'ghost' car on a chosen track, trying to beat the time limit. Time checks are given to the player at different points throughout the race.

In 2004, Sega released an upgrade to the OutRun 2 arcade game, titled OutRun 2 SP. The upgrade added 15 all-new courses which are predominantly based around a new World theme. This updated version is what you can play at Square Eye.
