I am a huge VR fan and have played all five versions. The PS2 is very close to the original arcade, but has graphic enhancements such as real time lighting. Judging by the photos, the geometry appears to be perfect between the two…only the perspectives are a little off. I wonder if the PS2 VR developers used the actual 3d models from the arcade version? The only complaint I have about the PS2 version is that while playing the VR (cockpit) view, the controls feel too touchy and the steering wheel animation is way off; it barely turns at full steer. Otherwise, this is a very good conversion of the Yu Suzuki classic.

I bought the Saturn version, thinking the word “Virtua” meant it would be a good game… Never judge a game by it’s “Virtua” LOL!. Compared to other driving games on the Saturn, this is very poor! The graphics are awful! However, the gameplay is not too bad…

Still, this game cost me £7.99 and I once picked up a copy of Sega Rally for 20p! For a great comparison of Sega Rally, Sega Touring Car Championship and Daytona USA, why not visit The Saturn Junkyard @ http://www.thesaturnjunkyard.blogspot.com
Flagrant self promotion I know, but you can also check out a great interview with the legendary Racketboy and also check out the Segata Sanshiro Drum n Bass Remix! Worth five minutes of anyone’s time…

I did some research — the PS2 version does not support Progressive Scan.

But yes, the screens were from a TV tuner. It’s hard to get better screenshots since the PS2 emulator isn’t solid enough yet.

Does the PS2 version support progressive scan? I assume the screenshots of the PS2 version were captured through a TV tuner card, as they look a bit fuzzy. It would be neat to see if it’s more crisp in 480p with a good scaler. Alternatively, it would be interesting to see what the emulated arcade version looks like in 480i.

The Saturn version PLAYS TERRIBLE.
Probably the worst port of the bunch just because playability is a big fat ZERO.
I love these types of articles, trully great!
