outrun 2 special tours (included in 2006 c2c) is good as arcade racing will probably ever get. feels perfect no matter the hardware, even feels as it should on the psp running at anywhere between 10-30 fps. it is worth playing at least 2 credits worth on any of its ports. here is a patch for the that adds improves controller support, among other fixes for the windows version, because i implore any interested beings to experience it. the xbox release of vanilla OR2 also works on the 360, which does not have the slipstream mechanic, but featured unlockable courses from a few AM2 model 3 racers that never got home ports. playing the outrun 2 course in sp/c2c is not quite the same experience, slipstream kind of feels op in that course, but it seems like the time restrictions have been tightened in outrun 2 sp to compensate for the steady supply of ways to increase speed. every single thing that sega am2 learned from every single arcade racing game they've made up to that point (about 15, including shenmue forklift) is delivered with both elegantly and efficiently in bursts of no more than 6 minutes. play it any way you can.
and related: the 360 and ps3 got a better-than perfect port of daytona usa, AM2's second best racing game. i think you can still purchase it through the xbox 360 version of the michaelsoft store, either thru browser or thru the console itself.
there was a shutoku battle game on the console, kind of a stat-tweaking, customization and progression-heavy but still arcadey racing game where you do laps around tokyo's C1 and surrounding highways, coming across various drivers as you make the rounds to take for a little brief race. a real, dangerous thing people sometimes do. it was released in eu/na as "Import Tuner Challenge" which makes no sense, because relative to the region the game itself takes place in, those just-off-brand-enough vehicles are for the most part, not imports. (believe me it's not as bad as atlus taking cave's togue MAX, a highway pass racing game, and changing the cover art to a literal chevrolet s10 pickup truck) it's kind of grindy but have a simple, fun and safe way to loop the C1 Ridge Racer 6 is one i have yet to play, but if it's anything like the psp ridge racers with the added boost mechanic, it is just good fun.

it has been a long time but Burnout Paradise got fairly boring for me at some point, and that's about all i remember of it. it is harsh, but it is how i feel. i would rather play burnout 2. paradise just felt like burnout 3 (a phenomenal game+have not played revenge) added an open world that was glued on with coconut oil. it impressed me at first with its scale but it fell off super fast.
