As for the gameplay, the steering has an odd feeling, tuned more for the console-style digital gamepads than PC analog joysticks. You’re missing the booming sound, the giant screens and the linked machines (no multiplayer is supported).
Daytona USA is a direct port, so it ships with the same measly three tracks (the Deluxe Edition contains more), which doesn’t compare favorably to Screamer 2 or Need for Speed. When arcade graphics and computing power eventually took off, PC game designers focused on giving more in-depth game experiences while delivering ever more realistic graphics.ĭaytona USA manages to duplicate the visuals of the arcade game, as well as the gameplay, but on your monitor the whole visceral feel of the arcade gets lost in translation. Games were less complex, and the computer conversions of games like Joust or Pac-Man were able to replicate the arcade experience, and no one complained about shallow gameplay. Back in the 1980s, converting arcade games to the home computer systems made a lot of sense. In the arcade, Sega is pretty much the undisputed king of racing. Because the four track theme variations aren't named, they can't be counted as officially named even though if they were given an official name it would probably just be the in-game initials like all of the other tracks.The ultimate software-rendered experience of driving around in circles. 18 through 40 are officially named on the B-univ*DAYTONA USA album, and the four short versions of each track theme are part of the 19th track, "All of Name Entry" on the Let's Go Away The Video Game DAYTONA USA Anniversary Box, which is just a collection of all of these tracks. Please note that tracks 04.2, 07.2, 10.2, 13.2 and 18 through 40 are short jingles that play after entering your name (should you actually do well enough in a race to do so) as the initials given as the song title. There's only a few full tracks in the game, but they're already incredibly catchy in their own right and provide the perfect atmosphere for a high-paced game like Daytona USA.
In fact, most people probably remember the music in this game just because of its incredibly Engrish vocals, but Mitsuyoshi's voice adds some sort of strange charm to the soundtrack that makes it even better.
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi sure is an interesting fellow not only did he compose the music to the game, he also provides the lyrics to each of the songs.
