Fan estimation of Sega Europe as a division of the Japanese publisher surely swelled upon the announcement of OutRun2 for Xbox back in 2004, but the real coup was the assignment of UK-based Sumo Digital, a previously unknown outfit tasked with converting the arcade game and developing unique console features - a job they pulled off remarkably well. Despite relatively poor sales of the Xbox-only title, Sega Europe defiantly pushes ahead with the release of multiformat update OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast for Xbox, PS2, PSP and PC, with all the best bits of OutRun2 plus new stuff from the arcade update, OutRun2 SP: Special Tours.
