'''OutRun 2''' is a [[racing]] game released by [[Sega]] in [[2003]]. Although this is the first official sequel to [[Out Run]], it is the fifth title in the {{c|Out Run}} series, (preceded by [[OutRun Europa]], [[Turbo Outrun]], and [[OutRunners]]). | '''OutRun 2''' is a [[racing]] game released by [[Sega]] in [[2003]].

In [[2004]], after numerous rumours, OutRun 2 was ported to the [[Xbox]]. The task of coding this port was shared by Sega-AM2 and UK-based developers [[Sumo Digital]], who were left with the unenviable job of condensing a game for a 512MB platform into one for a system with only 64MB. They succeeded in doing so, with a European release on October 1, 2004 followed by the U.S. release on October 25, 2004. As of June 12, [[2007]], this game was added to the [[Xbox 360]] Backward Compatibility List. | In [[2004]], after numerous rumours, OutRun 2 was ported to the [[Xbox]].

An update entitled '''OutRun 2 SP SDX''' was shown at a privately held Sega show on July 7, [[2006]]. This updated version of OutRun 2 does not run on the Sega Chihiro, but rather the Sega Lindbergh. This iteration is displayed at a resolution of 800×480 rather than the previous versions' 640×480 and features [[co-operative]] play involving both players sitting next to each other in replica Ferraris, taking turns driving the same car with their own set of controls. The 2-Player cabinet is designated as DX (Deluxe), and the 4-Player cabinet is designated as SDX (Super Deluxe). | An update entitled '''OutRun 2 SP SDX''' was shown at a privately held Sega show on [[July 7]], [[2006]].

OutRun 2 stays true to the format laid down by the [[1986]] original, in which the player drives a Ferrari sports car with a young lady in the passenger seat through 5 of 15 stages. As before, the player can choose their course and the soundtrack. | OutRun 2 stays true to the format laid down by the [[1986]] original, in which the player drives a Ferrari sports car with a young lady in the passenger seat through 5 of 15 stages.
