Having loved the original version of Daytona Usa, I 
was delighted when a new version of the game came 
out with two new tracks. So I traded my old Daytona 
in to a second hand game shop and came home with the 
new improved version. Every review I had read said 
Championship Circuit Edition is better than it's 
predecessor. Here is my review to help you decide.

Graphics: 93% 

Being English I had a copy of the european version 
of Daytona that had large borders along the edge of 
the screen so I was delighted to see that the borders
had been removed and replaced it with smooth arcade-like
graphics. Everything looks smoother and polished than 
the old version so it is hard not to be impressed. The 
colours are not as bright as the old version but the 
whole look of Championship Circuit Edition looks as 
near arcade perfect as anyone could hope for. 

Sound: 79% 

The sound on this game is not it's strong point, because 
the old catchy tunes from the arcade have been replaced 
with remixed instrumental versions and a few rock songs 
have been added. The car sounds are as good as ever 
with stereo effects added for realism. The announcememts 
from your co-driver are annoying after a while, with him 
saying 'try to go easy on the car' and 'your burning the 
tires' over and over, but the sound on this game can't 
be described as bad. 

Game Play: 95% 

The game play is what makes this game so good. The speed 
of the race and the thrill of the chase will keep any 
racing fans at it for hours. Championship Circuit Edition 
has a two player option that allows you and a friend the 
opportunity to race each other just like in the arcade. 
I personally prefer racing on my own because you get to 
see all the graphics in their full glory, but it is still 
a nice addition. This new version of Daytona has more 
options than the original including a ghost time lap where 
you race against the ghost of your best time. 

Lastability: 95% 

Championship Circuit Edition will last you for as long as 
you have a Saturn because it is the type of game you will 
come back to time and time again. Anyone who likes arcade 
racing games won't get sick of this game because of the 5 
courses and many options. 

Overall: 90% 

Daytona CCE may not look as good as Sega Rally but it plays 
better and is more fun than any other arcade racer currently 
available on any console. I do wish CCE had taken the original 
arcade presentation with the music and the option screen, but 
you can find the original Daytona car by entering the cheat 
which more than makes up for that. If you currently own a Saturn 
and do not have CCE then you are most certainly missing out
