Of course, where many online games can fail is the lag experienced during multiplayer, but thankfully during my online escapades things stayed pretty smooth with the lag being a minor nuisance here and there. And because Daytona USA was such a hit back in the day, my time online was spent not only racing against gamers from the good old Red White and Blue but from Europe, Japan, and Australia as well. Once you rev your engine and start the race you see Daytona USA in its true element, and that counts for double once you hop online and battle it out with fellow racers across the globe. I’m not sure how much mileage you’ll get out of Karaoke mode where the lyrics to the in-game music appear on screen and encourage you to sing along, but other than pilfering an easy trophy or achievement points – and maybe a little chuckle – it’s pretty useless. There are even 30 unique challenges to tackle in the aptly named Challenge mode providing some variety to the overall experience. Making their requisite appearance are various game modes such as Arcade, Time Trial, and Survial – with leaderboards to track all your progress and measure them up against other racers online. Although the graphics are what they are, the frame rate is maintained at a silky smooth 60 frames per second, the soundtrack has been remastered, and new modes have been added–from the laughable Karaoke mode, to the fun and exciting online multiplayer mode.

It is clear that Sega has taken the time to bring this piece of gaming nostalgia back from the past and make it better than ever.
