Editorial Review

The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was so close toperfection that the idea of dramatic improvements in the sequel seemedpretty far-fetched, but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 offers so muchmore that it almost puts its predecessor to shame. The graphics arevastly improved, there are tons of new tricks to pull off, and the gamehas more secrets than the CIA. Even if you played the original todeath, there's enough new stuff here to keep you occupied for months tocome.

Pro Skater 2 is all about customization. You can still play asone of the real-world skaters represented in the game, such as SteveCaballero, Elissa Steamer, and Mr. Hawk himself, but the real fun comesfrom creating your own skater and rising up through the ranks. As youconquer the massive skate parks included in this release, you rack upcash to be spent on pumping up your stats or adding new tricks to yourrepertoire. You can specialize in verts, concentrate on your streetskills, or take a more balanced approach, and the addition of manualswill let you string together tricks from either category to rack upsome amazing scores. The custom options extend to a complete skate-parkeditor that is easy enough to use that we were creating basic arenas inless than 15 minutes. It's a thoughtful addition to one of the mostpurely entertaining games ever released. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Create-a-Skater option lets you decide on everything from thetricks you use to the shoes you wear
• Easy-to-use park editor allows for complex creations
• Beautiful graphics and smooth animation make this one of thebest-looking sports games on any platform

• Getting the hang of manuals takes some time, but once you do, watchout

game review
i like this game so much but i think tony hawk pro skater 4 for xbox will be better!!!! must buy. if you a skateboarding fan you should this game or any tony hawk games.the game is great!

Exellent Game! Great Graphics! But....
This game is terrific, no doubt there! I got this game for my birthday and it was one of the best skateboarding games I ever played. But just like all other skateboarding games, there is always a limited amount of things you can do. In other words, this game, in it's own way, can get really boring when you beat the game.(Which is very easy to do.) I recommend that you do not buy this game, but rent it. Unless you are the skateboarding freak of nature, don't buy this game. You will get tired of it easliy.

THIS GAME KICKS
Tony Hawk 1,2,2x,and 3 are the best games ever made. Tony Hawk 2 is a great game featuring the worlds top skaters, like(Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Geoff Rowley, Rodney Mullen, Eric Koston and Chad Muska) including many, many other great skaters. This game has great levels including the great Skatestreet Ventura. You will have much fun playing this game. There many tricks, combos, and goals to achieve. There are may things you can do in this AWESOME game. THIS GAME KICKS!!! ... Read more

The first golf title for the Dreamcast, Tee Off is in the vein ofarcade-style golf games like the Hot Shots Golf series on thePlayStation. Players control big-headed, Japanese animation-style characters onvibrantly-colored 3-D courses. Shots are viewed from multiple cameraangles--including some mesmerizing aerial views--with the ball leaving a fading trailbehind it.

While Tee Off does require some basic golf knowledge, it uses astandardized control scheme which even those who've never played video golf willbe able to pick up on right away. In addition to customizable difficulty levels,Tee Off offers various modes of play, including gate ball (think croquetin cyberspace) and world tour, which rewards players' high scores by "unlocking"new characters and equipment.

Admittedly, Tee Off isn't for devotees of more simulation-oriented golftitles, as they'll probably pass it off as kiddie fare. However, casual videogolfers and those new to the armchair sport are in for one heck of a good timeon the links. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Highly addictive arcade-style gameplay
• Great replay value
• Gate ball (cybercroquet) mode

• Japanese to English language translation is weak at times
• May not appeal to fans of more simulation-oriented golf titles

Not bad.
If they had real characters, I would actually rate this a 5. The courses are extremely lifelike. There should have been some unlockable courses and some easier to lock players. I hate missing the red bar on the bottom, cause once you miss it, you lose a whole stroke. But playing it is all right. Though it's not the best golf game in the world, it deserves a look at.

It could be a bit more realistic!!
.... The 4 characters say the same phrases over and over and I never felt like using up my memory card to save the world tour and unlock other characters. It's not like I was gonna win, anyway. I must admit, though, the 5 courses are pretty good. Japan is easy. U.S.A. gets me in the bunker alot. Scotland has alot of precipitation variations. M y ball always goes into the red clay in Australia. And Africa has a large variety of fairways and obstacles. Gate ball isn't that great because the gates are always in the same exact spots. Other than the graphics and the 5 courses, this game could use some improvement.

Not for the serious golf fan
Tee Off is a fun game but diehard fans may find it disapointing.The game is based around fun and is easy to play and to get into.There are various different modes of play which improve the longitivity of the game, so you and your friends can battle it out to see who is the best.There is also an option to unlock new characters and new equipment though getting high scores. ...

Visual Concepts created a huge stir with the original NFL 2K--thefirst football video game that actually looked like you were watching a game onTV. NFL 2K2, the third game in the series, still features themind-boggling graphics, stunning player animations, and great play modes of theoriginal. And, despite an often frustrating passing engine, it's still one ofthe best sports simulations around.

You can play as any NFL team in a variety of modes: practice, tourney,exhibition, season, playoffs, franchise, fantasy, tutorial, and network (againstup to seven other players nationwide). The franchise mode is again one of thegame's strengths, as it offers a variety of scouting and free agency options,letting you customize your roster as a general manager based on the statisticsand financial demands of actual players. Now you can learn what the WashingtonRedskins already know--the salary cap is a cruel mistress.

The player animations are again the star of the show. There are literally dozensof potential endings to any collision in NFL 2K2, from stumbling fiveyards after a shoestring tackle to spinning dizzily between two linebackers tosomersaulting through the air after stretching for a catch over the middle. Andalthough the tackles can be spectacular, the game doesn't betray its simulationroots by making them too extreme. These aren't torn from the comics pages, as insome games.

Sega Sports has talked up its new passing system quite a bit, and it is bothchallenging and intriguing--perfect for the hard-core simulation expert.Unfortunately, the rest of us are left struggling to complete 5 to 10 passes agame. Essentially, the game asks players to expertly anticipate routes and timethe receiver's catch. This is no easy task in a fast-moving game such as this,as receivers routinely drop wide-open passes on the rare occasions they do getopen, and you'll find your primary receiver blanketed by two or more defensivebacks on most plays. The passing engine isn't overwhelmingly flawed, but averagegamers will need some serious time to overcome the Ravens-like pass defensethey'll face early on.

The running game was the original NFL 2K's main weakness, and it remainsthe single biggest improvement over the evolution of the series. Sometimesrunning between the tackles in NFL 2K2 can be a tad too easy and runningoutside can be too challenging, but the game rewards players who see holesdevelop and are adept at cutbacks.

It's the small details, though, that make NFL 2K2 the sports simulationtriumph that it is. The commentary--although still prone to calling turnoversincorrectly--is first rate, the on-field player dialogue is highly entertaining,and even the stadium music and crowd chants add to the atmosphere rather thanannoy.

The game isn't necessarily worth an upgrade for people who already own NFL2K1, as the improvements aren't dramatic (unless updated rosters are yourmain concern). But for football fans who want one of the best-looking sportssimulations ever made--and who don't mind the initial frustration of lousyquarterback ratings--NFL 2K2 is a Hail Mary come true. --RiversJanssen

Pros:

• Unbelievable graphics, yet again
• Extremely responsive gameplay

• Gamers must have genuine football skills to complete a pass
• Improvements from NFL 2K1 are minimal

simply the best
this game is great i played it for hours the best football game you can play 5 star all the way its better than nfl 2k3 it is i bet you!

Fun but lots of room to improve
THE GOOD
Physics and control are almost perfect
The load times are kept to a bare minimum
Announcers are not annoying
The franchise mode
As fun as football gets

THE BAD
Stat tracking is very innaccurate (especially your punter)
Pro Bowl tracking isn't even close to accurate sometimes
It's either too easy or too hard, middle difficulty is still easy
DB's [bad] at picking off the ball and play the ball even if his back is facing to the play
Announcers repeat and contradict themselves constantly

I love this game and recommend this to anyone

NFL 2k2 FAQS/Comments
The main reason bought this game is for the online plau and the fantasy draft that you can play offline. The isnt hard offline enless you play with ALL PRO which isnt super hard just like the REAL NFL. Hell I can beat the Oakland Raiders with Cencenatti Bengals. For those of you think its impossible to catch and get away from the d-line then use the Vikings since they are the games mascot you can see Randy Moss on the front of the cover so if you play with the Vikings you ell basically hae to try you can throw to Cris Carter since this man has a excelent catch he never drops even when he ges tackled just right he stll holds onto the ball.

One my favorite things about this game is the ability to throw bullets or pop ups its your choice but pop ups are more likely to be intercepeted. Bullets are the best to avoid a defender also note if you try hail mary a bullet it will be pretty crooked far reach from the reciever. The best team to do hail marys is the Rams and Vikings since they have atleast one fast reciever and when there fast you just chuck that ball way out there like a 70 yard throw and you think you over throw to Randy Moss or Isacc Bruce but they smoke almost all dbs and wide open to make the catch if it isnt overthrown.

The graphice are amazin like NFL 2k1 all the same moves but require strategy since they canged the way they juke. Well in nfl2k1 you can just pull a juke move and most likely joke al the time with a group of deffender you can get away with this is what [made me mad] in NFl2k1. Now we have NFL2k2 and wel none of the Bullcrap no more since when you sped you recver or running back sows down to make the spins or break the tackle.

My most favorite thing is to to a Full NFL Fantasy Draft. i like to choose my players win by one witht he cpu alos taking a few of the good ones makes it challenging and in th eend you can see your stats for yu off and def then you start a fl seaon with the players you choosen the they keep track off eerything including who goes to the probowl.

The online play is great! The only thing is when you play with someone your connection affects the game in a way like when you throw the ball to a wide reciever he most likey drop it since the people online just tackle them before it happens I have done it too but when i do it offline its pass interfernce maybe this happens because of 56k modem since I have gotten way with that tackle the guy to make hiim drop trick. Well the online is pretty good if your isp is good has a ranking system and also keeps track of how many wins and losses you have.

I give NFL2k2 4 stars since the online play. I never like it when people quit when are about to get a win. ... Read more

THE most awsome game of all time!
Tired of trying hoplessly to catch a fish in that old lake?Forget the minnows and get out your dreamcast.What should you play?Sega marine fishing of course!1000000000000 times the exitment of sega bass fishing,you can catch more than just bass here-you can catch tiny skip jack tunas,spine shivering hammerheads,and the big one of all big ones,the prize catch of all prize catches, the blue marlin!I play it everyday after school.Plus,there are 5 different areas,a free fishing mode,and you can even enter a tournament!I give it a 2 thumbs up!

THE BEST FISHING GAME IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mean to be dramatic or anything but this game rocks!This game gets boring my but!I got a fishing game for my ps1 and this game still kicks that game (or any game in the world's) but.Even if you don't like fishing you'll like this because it requiers no skill whatsoever.
I liked unlocking new charecters but you can also unlock dogs, rods, hats, shirts and line.5 Stages to unlock and so many posibilities.Listen to theese 3 words, do it.............
BUY THE GAME

Virtual fishing fun? It sure is!
You might scoff at the thought of fishing on your Dreamcast, but it really is a good way to pass the time. Of course you must remember that it is a fishing game. Don't expect an engrossing story because you won't get it. What you will get is a game that can be picked up by anybody, and played with little skill or effort.

There are tons of fish (including at least one type of shark). You can get all manner of things to put in your aquarium (including fish which is a nice thing to have in an aquarium).

I have never played this game using the Dreamcast Fishing Rod Controller, but it can be played very easily just with the regular Dreamcast controller.

All in all, this is a good game to play if you don't want to get into some major RPG or adventure game. It's a good buy! ... Read more

No,this is not the best rpg on the DC.
Simply put, this is the worst game on the DC, not just the worst rpg. I can't believe I used to have this in my game library. It's not even really an rpg, it's more of a Zelda-type game...here's the whole story/plot: you play as David, an incredibly fidgity main character whose wife is taken away, along with all the other women around, by Silver, a wizard. David and his grandpa (who he constantly refers to as "Grandad") then run off to save her and get all the other women back. Well, along the way, they get ambushed by some forest warriors (think Robin Hood here) who end up joining their cause. They then learn about "the oracle" who might help them. The oracle ends up just being an entity in a nearby tower that tells them to gather magical stones, each one representing an element. Original ain't it? Along the way, they meet up with other party members, 2 of which aren't the least bit useful, and you go on to face off with Silver. That's it. There are no sidequests, character development scenarios, hidden characters, optional bosses or anything.

Here's a run-down of the characters you get aside from that ninny David:

-Jug: the generic big, bearlike, purely physical character every game has. His main weapon is a hammer, and of course he's the strongest in the party. He has almost no magic use at all. Like that matters when he runs around breakin' stuff. You'll probably keep him in the party. He joins you in a bar of course.

-Cagen: a good mix of physical and magical skills here, which is understandable since he's a monk. Throw him in with Jug and you've got yourself a nice lil' party. He joins after finding out his monestary has been poisoned.

-Chiaro: he'd be useless if it weren't for being the strongest magic user. That's all though: his physical attacks are pitiful, and he doesn't take damage very well. He joins for...no reason really. Probably just for the sake of having a strong mage.

-Vivienne: she's a feisty redhead (again, how original is that?) who's a well rounded fighter. Her magic is average too. After you have Jug and Cagen, you won't be using her ever again. She's a friend of David's apparently.

-Sekune: I honestly forgot all about her until I got to this point in the review. She's an archer you get when the foresters ambush you. She's also your permanent party member until you get actual good ones to replace her with. Being an archer, she's useful at times, but there aren't many enemies smart enough to attack you from a distance. When that happens, that's when you whip out a fire blast or whatever. Dump her once you get Jug.

If you ever played that other [bad] game Secret of Mana, that's how the combat is here. Ring menus and all. Most of the game is hack 'n slash, and there's maybe one puzzle thrown in just to keep you on your toes *sarcasm*. Fighting some of the bosses is annoying though, especially early on when you don't have any magic. It can take 15+ minutes to take out a simple boss just because your weapons do so little damage. But later on, when you get all the spells, one round of Light and a few whacks with dual swords will take down just about anything. Oh, and most of the bosses are blatantly obvious on which element they're weak against.

The graphics are annoying. The backgrounds are very well done, but the character models are...I don't even know how to describe them. They're almost as bad as the FF7 ones. But here's the thing- most of the time you don't even really get to see the details in your character(s) because of the weird-ass angles. Most of the time, your party is microscopic on the screen, so it doesn't really matter on "who looks cool" here. Some of the enemies have cool desings, the werewolf in particular. At least the music's good...for the majority. A lot of the tunes are used over and over, and some areas just have silence save the sounds made in combat.

I won't ruin the ending [like there's anything to ruin at all with the crummy thing] for you, but turn it off right when the credits start to roll. These are the longest credits I've ever seen. They scroll up so slooooooowly that it makes you want to cry. You know how long Shenmue's credits were? Well those went by 50 times faster than these stupid things do. 'just thought I'd warn you ahead of time.

What I'm giving the second star in the "fun" category in this rating is for two things. Half of that star is for the Light spell. I've always been big on holy spells (probably because they're always some of the strongest). It looks pretty cool, but usually ends up costing 3/4 of your spell points. The other half of that star comes from a mere recovery item: the roast rat. When I got a few of those, I laughed since I've never seen such an item in an rpg. Let alone one like that that heals you. But that does seem like something they would've eaten in this time period, so that gets .5 originality points. Other than that, I can't reccomend this to anyone unless they're trying to get a perfect DC collection going.

This game should be smashed, melted, and urinated on
Do your self a favor and avoid this "game" at all costs. The graphics are terrible, the fighting is boring and the idiotic camera will drive you INSANE. I only played this game for about 10 minutes, but that was enough to see how terrible it was. It's a steaming pile of fecal matter so don't contaminate your Dreamcast by putting this filth in it!

Fun...but short
Silver is a very fun, and easy, game to play. The settings and story are well-designed and will keep your attention for the duration.

However, the enemies are really just medieval Double Dragon rejects who attack you in waves, and the bosses are pushovers. The game doesn't offer much of a challenge. But for the low price, it is worth a purchase. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Just when it seems 3-D fighting games have permanently made 2-D fightinggames obsolete, something like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 comes along and provesjust how deep and fun 2-D fighters can be. It's better than its predecessor inevery way, and arguably the best 2-D fighting game to grace the Dreamcast.

The amount of playable characters is enough to put any fighting fan's salivaryglands in overdrive. Beginning with favorites such as Spider Man, Wolverine,Ryu, and Chun Li, players can eventually unlock 56 characters. We had our handsfull just mastering a few of these fighters, and getting familiar with all 56would take months of intense practice. There are almost too many moves, alldepicted with superb animation and augmented by several tag-team combos. Whenthe match begins, you can pick three characters. Once things heat up, you cancall in your pals to unleash a massive move on your opponent. This addsimmensely to the game's depth, and button mashers will be in for a shock whenthey find that their mistimed tag-team moves backfire.

Visually, this game is intense. The large characters are slightly jagged aroundthe edges, but that's more than compensated for by the massive amount ofanimation frames, colorful special effects, and stunning 3-D backgrounds thatare loaded with detail. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 also delivers a sonicperformance that is nearly arcade-perfect. This is a must-buy for any fightingfan, especially those who have a couple of buddies to bash. Just be prepared toput in a lot of time in practice mode if you want to get good. --T. ByrlBaker

Pros:

• Brilliant 3-D backgrounds
• A massive number of characters to play as
• Tag-team element adds a fun strategic component to the gameplay

• Characters were drawn at low resolution

The ultimate fighting game - period
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - New Age Of Heroes (2000.) The fourth game in the "Marvel characters versus Capcom characters" series.

Over the years, there have been a ton of fighting games, but as the years progressed, it became evident that one company was the supreme mastermind of the genre - Capcom. When they released Street Fighter II in 1991, it revolutionized fighting games and was frequently ripped off. Capcom used the excellent mechanics behind that ever-so-successful series to launch spin-offs like Street Fighter Alpha, as well as other fighting series, including Darkstalkers. The corporation even made a fighting game featuring Marvel comics characters which was well-received. And then, Capcom did one of the smartest things of their entire career - put Marvel and Capcom characters together in the same fighting game! This started with the classic X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, which was followed up my Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, which greatly expanded the Marvel roster. And then came Marvel Vs. Capcom, which greatly expanded the number of Capcom characters available. The fourth game in this Marvel and Capcom series, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - New Age Of Heroes, arrived in 2000. Read on for my review (and sorry about the long introduction.)

We'll start off with what this game does good. The absolute best part of this game is the sheer magnitude of characters you can play as. Once they're all unlocked, you'll have over fifty characters! And you've got the all-stars from both universes. Capcom serves up classic Street Fighter characters like Ryu and Ken, along with Darkstalkers favorites Felicia and Morrigan, and even Mega Man! Capcom's got a ton of their most popular characters too, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and pretty much all of the X-Men. The game even features new characters from both franchises. Unlike the first Marvel Vs. Capcom, which played pretty crappy with console controllers, this time around the scheme was done AROUND the controller, so it plays WAY better than its predecessor. The 128-bit backgrounds look GREAT. The soundtrack's catchy, too, even if some beg to differ. The system used for unlocking characters/stages/outfits/etc. is also well-done. You earn points every time you play, and these can be used to buy the bonus features. For the most part, the game takes everything from the original Marvel Vs. Capcom, and improves it. There is very little wrong with this game. If you liked the original, you're probably going to like this one even more.

As much as I like this game, I do have a few complaints. The one that seems to get the most attention is the characters being drawn at a low resolution. Why did Capcom do this? The backgrounds are simply stunning, so I really think a little more work could have gone into the character models. Likewise, too many characters have been altered too much - Chun Li, Sakura, and M. Bison have been altered so much that they aren't even fun to play as. Likewise, many of the characters are just weak when compared to others - Roll is just pathetic and essentially comes off seeming like a "poor man's version of Mega Man." The new characters were unnecessary. Though cool, their omission would have allowed for other great Marvel and Capcom characters to be in the game - I'm sure plenty of other gamers would have liked to have been able to play as Daredevil, Dr. Octopus, The Punisher, Bass, and Proto Man. My biggest complaint is that the game is no longer in production - they don't make Dreamcasts anymore, and for reasons only god knows, the Playstation 2 and XBOX versions were produced in limited quantities. Still, these flaws can ultimately be neglected. For everything this game does wrong, there are about ten things it does right.

My final verdict is simple. If you like Capcom's fighting games, this is a must-buy. It's my favorite fighting game of all time, and you'd be a fool not to buy it if you're into the genre. Capcom knows good fighting games, and this is as good as they come. It's tough to find due to the poor distribution, but trust me - it's worth hunting down.

56 characters that you can select to fight

Yes this game has 56 characters that you can completely control.

Unlike part 1 where there were special characters that can only help you, but not fight for you. In this part 2, you can completely control everyone.

I am rating this game 4 stars rather than 5, because there is one very annoying factor: In order to unlock the secret fighters, you have to play the game for MANY, MANY hours in order to earn points. You use the points as money to unlock the secret fighters.

badmanstylin
Marvel V.s Capcom is the dreadest game after the first Marvel vs Capcom. There are endless possibilities cool combos and stuff.
I've played with nerly every game you can think of, but my best team might be Guile,CharlieWith over 56 pleyers to play with, who can blame me? This is a must get for all true believers!

Editorial Review

As first-person shooters go, Rainbow Six is to Dreamcast what GoldenEye 007is to the Nintendo 64: the most innovative and intriguing title of its kind for the platform. Borrowed fromTom Clancy's novel of the same name, Rainbow Six offers a fascinating first-person adventurethrough lush worlds and highly detailed environments that have yet to be seen on gaming consoles. Butdon't stop to smell the roses too often or you'll end up staring down the business end of an oncomingStinger missile.

You command an elite antiterrorism force through a series of stealth and action missions. Sometimes youwill need to sneak through a foreign embassy in the dark with your night vision goggles on, while othertimes you'll need to launch a full-on weapons attack on your enemies. The game does both types ofmissions well, but you'll have to spend some time planning with your team before you start each level.Plotting out missions in advance and positioning team members lends a unique real-time strategy feel to thealready excellent shooter aspect of the game.

As the team leader, you are solely responsible for making sure each mission goes well. Direct and protectyour squad, save any hostages who might be hanging around, and accomplish your main missionobjectives. The latter may include sabotage, simple spying, or even assassinations. Good luck. --BillHutchens

Pros:

• Perfect mix of first-person shooting and strategy
• Complex environments
• Foes boast realistic intelligence

• No multiplayer support
• Multiple objectives are sometimes overwhelming

A HUGE Letdown...
I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to play it ever since I got my Dreamcast. After many delays, it finally came out, so I rented it. Good thing that's all I did. I'm sorry to report, but this is a horrible game. But why? First off, are the graphics. While they're certainly not the worst I've ever seen, they really leave too much to be desired, especially for the fact that this is a Dreamcast game. You can see the polygons sticking out of the characters and they don't look realistic at all. I've seen N64 games that look better than this. Heck, I've seen Playstation 1 games that look better. The next problem are the controls. They are the worst part of this game. Using the X, Y, B, and A buttons to move isn't bad, but on default, A moves foward and Y moves back. MDK2, Fur Fighters, Quake 3, and almost every other shooter on the DC uses the same X, Y, B, and A movement setup, but after playing those far better games where A moved back and Y moved foward, it's difficult to change.Mercifully, you can change this setup (but unfortunately, only the X, Y, B, A movement setup) to match the other games mentioned above. That's not the end of the control woes, however. With cumbersome menus and 37 commands put into the Dreamcast controller, without support for the Dreamcast Keyboard, it makes the game a REAL pain to learn and makes it barely playable. I can assure you, the controls are much worse than they sound. Not to mention the fact that you can't customize anything but the moving controls (mentioned above) to your liking. Plus, the loading times are too darn long. But there's something good about this game. The sounds are very good and draw you into the action, and the voicework is above average. But that's sadly it. I was hoping for a good spy game like Goldeneye, but with more emphasis on stealth and on the Dreamcast, but I just wasn't that lucky. Don't bother wasting your time with this piece of junk. Instead, skip it and go immediately to Perfect Dark. This game had so much potential, and it's a real shame that it couldn't come together.

Great
Rainbow Six is a great port of the PC game. The graphics aren't the best, but everything else makes up for it. The sound is wonderful. I haven't finished the game yet but so far it has been challenging and fun. Buy it!

Amazing shooting Dreamcast game
Rainbow Six is one amazing game. You just what the U.S. Army is doing right now in Afghanistan. You are with an anti-terrorist group which tries to stop terrorists from bombing buildings and other terrorist acts.

You and your group do drills to train for your missions. The only bad part is the missions and choosing all of your stuff takes a long time....A VERY LONG TIME.....

After you have all of your weapons and materials you go on over 21 different missions. You kill terrorists and try to save hostages by getting past the terrorists guarding them who will shoot you right when they see you which causes a problem. It is nearly impossible to save the hostages.

On your missions you also go to certian areas and get ready to make your attack on the enemies. Then its time to attack with your sweet guns. This game is a great shooting simulator that will attract many people who enjoy hunting or shooting with guns.

This game is almost too realistic which isn't all that bad, but bad when it comes to you getting killed all the time when you go on certain missions.

If you are looking for some fun with your Dreamcast...this is the game to get. ... Read more

WAY to easy... but its da bomb
For those of us who are sick of the dark natured games coming out lately would truly apprecieate a game like Frogger 2. It is great! With lush graphiics that are great for this type of game and a toe tapping soundtrack you can't lose. My only disappointment is that it is to short and way too easy but a great purchase altogether. I am a huge adventure fan and I love it, you must get it.

Brings back good old memories...
Back in the eighties in the time of the first video game arcades Frogger used to be one of my favorites. Now this 3-D version, with several variations of the same theme, comes back. I have to say though (maybe it's because things have evolved) that I was not so thrilled to play it as I thought I'd be. But still it brought good old memories.

Frogger is pretty fun, but WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, TOO EASY
frogger is pretty fun.i rate it badly, though.The case lies.It said that there are 30 new levels, referring to the fact that it has old levels, about 5.So 35 levels were supposed to be in there.Really, there are only 17 unbelievably easy levels in it.That's 48% of what it was supposed to be!Now, the reason to believe me is because really, i am a school GENIUS.when i get home, after completing my A+ homework, i play my dreamcast.I am a total fan of adventure games and almost nothing else.Frogger 2 is adventure, and i would know if it's good orn not.NOT GOOD.it is just a little bit of fun.But i will recommend you some very good adventure games.They include: Sonic Adventure 2, Super Magnetic Neo, Ms. pac man, 102 dalmations, and rayman 2.They Rule with a huge capital R.Buy them instead, i urge you. ...

Playing MDK2 is like riding a roller coaster orwatching a good action movie. In fact, fighting aliens has never beenthis much fun.

You begin the adventure as Kurt, a human in a Batman-like suitequipped with some loopy but lethal accessories. Kurt packs apowerful chain gun and a built-in parachute for gliding around levels.Kurt also has access to a simple-to-use sniper mode that allows you tosmoothly zoom between multiple magnification levels (1x to 75x) forlong-range kills. As the game progresses, you'll eventually be able tocontrol Kurt's six-legged dog, Max. This is no ordinary housebrokenpet. This not-so-cuddly creature can carry up to four guns at once forimmense firepower. In addition, Max uses a jetpack to fly around(à la Boba Fett of Star Wars fame). Finally, there isDr. Hawkins, who uses his scientific skills to combine commonhousehold objects into weapons of mass destruction. The diversity (andstrangeness) of these characters adds a unique twist to the otherwiseconventional gameplay.

Most of the environments you'll encounter in MDK2 are renderedin dark colors--perfectly suited for showing off the game'soutstanding lighting effects. The graphics overall are crisp,incredibly detailed, and brimming with personality. Numerouscut-scenes are rendered using the game's 3-D engine, which lends muchdrama (not to mention comedy) to the storyline. This is one of thoserare games that is as fun to watch as it is to play, and it belongs inthe library of any action fan with a Dreamcast. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Impressive 3-D graphics
• Varied gameplay
• Intuitive controls

• Very challenging

One of the BEST Dreamcast games i've ever played
MDK 2 is one of the best games of all time!! I really love what was done with this game...the graphics, the scenery, the humor, the challenge are all top notch. This is definitely one to own and one to keep. Get MDK 2 without a second thought...you won't regret it.

Game lover
I have to agree that the game is difficult, but not that difficult. I am only at the second level, but it is not too hard. Here is the key: if you are kurt, you can bet your bottom dollar the hint is in snipering. If you are max, it's shooting your environment. If its the doctor, it's all in what you concoct. That's basically it. If you remember that, you ought to do all right. Good Luck!

Incredibly fun and unbelievably difficult . . .
MDK2 takes the b-movie aliens theme to some wonderful conclusions.The space ships all have a bit of a surreal cartoonish feel to them. The aliens are rubbery, vile, enormous, and at least somewhat muppet-like.The dialogue is silly but not stupid.

As a first person shooter on the Dreamcast, this game has impeccable control and beautiful scenery to take in along the way.I experienced SOME slow down, but not nearly as much as I expected.When this game is at its best, and there are plenty of great moments, it is very fast, very fun, and is filled with wild pyrotechnics, cool experiences, and good humor.

At the game's worst, it's nearly impossibly difficult.I repeat, it is very very VERY hard.There are puzzles that are so slightyou may miss them.There are jumping levels which allow no room for even the smallest misstep.There are shooting levels where a seemingly neverending wave of well armed and suicidal aliens comes at you, slowly wearing you down, using up your ammo, and then picking you off.There are bosses the size of a city block with seemingly unstoppable attacks.Then, when you think you've seen it all, you get all of the above in the very same level.

In short -- there are parts of this game, that even with a strategy guide, are just plain sadistic.The only saving grace is that even at this game's most difficult, it is consistent:the control stays the same, there are no glitches in gameplay, and the enemies do not cheat.You have a small, but "fair" shot at clearing every board.Even if you may have to play a particular level nearly perfectly, it is possible to advance.The question is: do you really want to put yourself through that kind of torture.

Upon completing this game, I felt more of a sense of satisfaction than I ever have in completing any other game, but that's not so much a cautious endorsement as a warning. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Sega's Tennis 2K2 adds nearly every element fans ofVirtua Tennis longed forupon its release. The game features eight female players, including the Williamssisters and Monica Seles, along with eight male players, including PatrickRafter and Yevgeny Kafelnikov. As if that's not enough, you can create your ownmale and female players--selecting from a range of faces, hairstyles, heights,and weights--and train them to conquer the new World Tour mode.

The gameplay is slightly deeper than in the previous installment thanks toseparate topspin and backspin buttons and a lob button to foil opponents whorush the net. You'll need all the tricks you can muster to beat the revamped AIopponents, who put up a fight even on the easiest difficulty setting. Theamazing graphics engine from the original game has been tweaked to look evenbetter, with smoother animations and more detailed players. Squint and you'llalmost be fooled into thinking you're watching a TV broadcast. The fun minigamesfrom the original are back and better than ever, but it's the depth of the WorldTour mode that keeps us coming back for more, and that puts our copy ofVirtua Tennis in permanent retirement. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Fluid animations and detailed graphics
• Separate topspin and backspin buttons for precision shots
• Create your own players and help them rise up the ranks

• Tough AI opponents mean you will lose a lot at first
• Doesn't allow women to face off against men

Great sequel, but original still best
I loved Virtua Tennis, so I was a little disappointed at first of 2k2. Once I got into this game, however, I started to really enjoy it. Play is faster than the original, and you can do some wicked cool (nasty to your opponents) net play that you couldn't do before. The create-a-character mode is a nice option, and you have to work to build up your player through the training in the world tour mode, which I thought was neat. The world tour is also an excellent upgrade from the first and more challenging, but on the downside you can only play your created character and not one of the pros. It's nice to see the women were added as well. 2k2 doesn't get a 5 because it doesn't have the arcade friendly play of the original, but this game is still very addicting.

The sisters are in it...what more can I say?
This is the best tennis game I have ever played...wait its the only tennis game i've played! Why? Because I don't like tennis but TENNIS 2K2 is SO GOOD it drew me in! This game has KILLER GRAPHICS, SMOOTH ANIMATION and LOTS OF REPLAY VALUE! If you own a Dreamcast (best system that never made it) then do yourself a favor and get this, its THAT GOOD. Its easy to pick up and play and is fun with friends...get it now!

Great Game!!
I love this game, there's a dissappointment only in the fact that you can't change shoes once a match have started. I play tennis myself and playing this game have somehow teached me some good movements. I would have liked other choices in Men, Agassi, Sampras....they've been for years champions all around the world and they should be in this game. ... Read more

Does tearing down the streets of San Francisco at death-inducing speedsappeal to you? If so, San Francisco Rush 2049 is your game. However, in2049, the legendary hills and hairpin turns of the City by the Bay have beenmodified for extreme racing action, if not exactly deep gameplay. Still, it'sthe blazing speeds and colors that'll keep arcade racing fans applying the pedalto the proverbial metal.

If you're a fan of the Rush series, you'll be happy to see that the basicgameplay hasn't changed much. All of the races take place on tracks that featurewild colors and many twists and turns. This time, however, the setting is afuturistic San Francisco that resembles our present-day one only vaguely. Asusual, the secret to winning Rush's races isn't so much driving abilityas it is finding all of the shortcuts on a given track. This time around, youactually can make your car glide (by activating hidden wings) whenever itcatches some air--a cool feature that feels somewhat underutilized. In additionto standard racing, Rush also offers five other play modes, includingghost (in which you race against an image of your previous best lap time),circuit, battle, and stunt modes.

In battle, you and up to three other friends drive around huge arenas furiouslywhile trying to blast each other to kingdom come. Your cars can carry a host ofodd weapons including chain guns, mines, and mortar. All in all, fans ofTwisted Metal or Vigilante 8 should have fun with battle mode, asthe arenas are cleverly designed, and the action is fast and furious. It'salmost worth price of admission alone.

As in previous Rush editions, the stunt mode offers arenas that'll testyour control of the cars' already ludicrously exaggerated physics. You'llperform impossible maneuvers in arenas that defy even fundamental laws ofarchitecture. The more flips, spins, and death-defying landings that you pulloff, the higher your score.

I was a little surprised at the lack of aggression that was shown bycomputer-controlled racers, which seemed a bit lax in their efforts to stop youfrom passing them, and instead almost behaved as if they were on rails, andoblivious to you stealing the lead.

Also, while the graphics show amazing amounts of detail and color, at timesthey'll show a definite slowdown. No, it's not quite bad enough to ruin a race,but it's noticeable and does show some sloppiness on Midway's part.

After the race has been won, you'll find, for near-mindless arcaderacing/gliding/blasting/stunts, that San Francisco Rush 2049 is a highlyplayable arcade racer that'll make fans of the series, both old and new, happythat they own a Dreamcast. If you've never played a Rush game, this is anexcellent intro to the series. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

• Bright, colorful, and highly detailed graphics
• Many different gameplay modes
• Four-player battle mode

• Irritating slowdown during races
• Computer-controlled racers are not aggressive

RUSH ONE
It doesn't matter if you are black... or white.This is the most exciting, challenging, strategimus oriented multiplayer in the history of games.It requires supreme tactimus to execute a long-distance greening, or aggressive lime-maying.There is an obvious advantage if you can gain control of tubesticks and limes, but the tables can turn if you get bubble and regain the limes.That is of course unless someone does the deed!

Good
This game you should buy. Its like crash team racing but this is better.It good graphics and gameplay

hands down the best multiplayer game EVER
OK, so you like racing games....thats great, I don't really.But there is this battle mode in this San Francisco Rush 2049 game that is wicked ru.I have been playing nonstop for close to 2 years and I never get tired of it.The physics are excellent, and well are the courses.You keep discovering new jumps and possiblities with each play.The weapons are perfectly designed.There are limes, tube stick, pews, green gun, machinis, emp, balls, and assram.Of course these are the names we came up for the warpens, but you can make an argument that any one of these is the best weapon in the game.they are complement each other perfectly.This game is absolutely perfect, the only downside is you have to play the racing and stunt mode to unlock all the cars!stoop. ...

As the beloved photojournalist-cum-webslinger, you'll freely explore New York's skyline, sewers, and hideouts to fulfill several missions. Use Spider-Man's superhuman strength to fight such notorious foes as Scorpion, Venom, and Rhino, and his spider abilities allow you to spin webs (of any size) to disable and detain bosses, swing around buildings, and creep along walls and ceilings. And thanks to your spider-sense, you'll be able to detect impending danger from a distance. There is no wealth or fame at the end of this game, however. Action is your reward. ... Read more

SPIDEY DESERVED BETTER
The Dreamcast version of Spiderman is UGLY and that is an understatement. The cut scenes are ugly the graphics are lacking especially for Dreamcast game and the game is EXACTLY the same as the Playstation version. If you played the PS1 vesion then stick to that and forget about this. Many people gave this a high score but take my word DON'T LISTEN. I did and wasted my money on this crap!!!

Spidey deserved better on Dreamcast...what a disappointment1!!

Great game with little problems!
if you are a die-hard spider man junkie then this is the game for you!!!! Not only is it a great game to beat it is also fun just to mess around. isold my copy a few weeks after it was released because i wanted to buy a new game. Recently i saw Spider-manin theaters and i am totaly psyched to buy it again. i am hoping to get an x-box and buy the version on that but until then i need something to tie me ever. this game is the best spider man related game over released on one of sega's products. the only flaw in this game is the poor facial features. mouths that don't move ect. This factor is obsolete to the fun factor in this game. BUY IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

spider-man review
this game is really fun, i have been playing it again and again and i allready beat it. and it has alot of funny lines that spider-man says. quote "ok recap im a couple hundred feet under water electrified floors and walls and deadly turrits aiming straight at me..aw my day just keeps getting better and better"
end quote. i recomend this game to anyone who likes spider-man it will still be fun to swing around even after you beat the game. this game is supder fun the best game i have ever played.
but it's not the best game now because the new movie based spider-man is out on the ps2 it looks soooo coooool. i am going to buy it in a weak. anyway buy this game! ... Read more

Looking for some good car combat? Vigilante 8: 2ndOffense introduces Dreamcast owners to their first vehicular combatgame, and it's a worthy debut at that. Treacherous transportationoptions include futuristic cars and '70s relics, among other eclecticofferings. Each vehicle has a special weapon, and players can pick upthese weapons, along with napalm, missiles, shields, and tire add-ons oneach of the game's eight levels.

Taking place in the late 1970s (where the series debut, Vigilante8, left off), two ex-Vigilantes--Convoy and Houston--have beenkidnapped. Will their friends be able to save them? There are alsonumerous other subplots, including an escaped space chimp that chases analien garbage man and a cybercop chase involving an evil oil baron.

Quest mode offers a unique story for each character. There are multipleendings to discover as well as multiple vehicles waiting to be unlockedupon completion of each level's three objectives. Vigilante 8: SecondOffense features an arcade mode, a survival mode, and a multiplayermode, where up to four friends can compete. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Same homicidal driving action from PlayStation version
• Impressive graphics

• Control is more slippery than in the PlayStation version

Reviews (23)

WOW, This is just as fun as Spawn
Spawn for dreamcast is an excellent game where you battle against other players using multiple weapons. Vigilante 8 is just about the same concept, but you use cars rather than people.

There are secret codes that make the game a lot more fun. You enter these codes on the options menu. There are codes for rapid fire, all secret cars, and all secret levels. These codes can be found on most game websites for free.

Best for 4 player fun
Vigilante 8 is a lot like Twisted Metal, but lacks, of course, the updated graphics in the more recent TM games.However, the 4 player head to head game is the one we always play when we have guests over.The learning curve isn't too steep, the physics are reliable,and overall it makes it competitive and fun for everyone.Also, the cooperative play is a joy.If I bought this game as an indvidual I would give it a so-so rating.But, for me, it's always been hard to find a solidly performing, fun multi-player game that your friends can get into.And, for me, I haven't found a better one than Vigilante 8.

Can't beat the PS or 64 versions
I know sega, and they cut so many corners, i have the 64 version and it's graphics can't be beat, especialy on high res. The PS version looks great with smooth texture mapping on the PS2. The Dreamcast is a 128 bit system, but it has Nintendo 64 graphics, it looks no better, sometimes a lot worse. It sure can't compeat with the PS2, but some 64 games on high res look close to early PS2's graphics. If you want a 64 bit Sega system, get a Saturn, it has much better graphics than the PS, but not as many games. ... Read more

Football players with butter fingers = mass fustration
DO NOT buy NFL Blitz 2001 even if its on sale for a cent!

The game is the most fustrating game i've ever played. In what other game would your recievers fumble the ball when they are tackled mere inches from the End Zone (sometimes on a first down, sometimes when the game is on the line)? This happened to me at least 3 times in one game! Needless to say it resulted in 3 costly turnovers and I lost the game. The hardest part was the fact that the game was on the EASY level. I expect this kind of CHEAP play on the hardest setting but not on easy. The constant fumbling by players throughout the game is a SERIOUS TURN OFF especially for fans who just want to enjoy a good game. The random and FREQUENT fumbles made this game a worthless piece of junk.

The game is also flooded with too many loading screens that get really old really fast when you just want to get into the action. Very poorly designed, Midway. If you still have a bad taste in your mouth from NBA Hoopz then AVOID this game. The graphics are on the same level and the announcer is the same.

Do not waste your hard earned money on this poor game! Read the other reviews that warn of the fumbling problem and do not make the mistake I did!

PLAY OR RENT BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Save your money
if you think this game is quality then think again. this game has nothing more than the original blitz!you fumble the dang ball any time any one touches you! you get intercepted if you even pass the ball! the mini games are twice as bad as the actual game and the graphics are as bad as super nintendo! Don't even get me started about the game play. it is so horrible. You have to walk in the direction the reciever you want to pass to! How bogus is that!

DO NOT GET IT! SPEND THE MONEY ON SOMETHING
THAT'S WORTH THE AMOUNT YOU PAY!
(Which means not this game because this is worth $$$tops)

Forgive the controls and play the game!!
You heard me!The controls take a minute or two to learn, and the menus are hard to scroll through without a keyboard, but if you can get past these points this game can be VERY fun and intense.Fun because you get to rescue hostages, and intense because one or two shots and your dead!Nothing's more fun than running through a mission with different people, I.E. be the person that runs in there and shoots the guards or the person that snipes from atop a hidden point... if you REALLY can't get over the controls, please get it on the PC, the controls are much better!

Totally worth your money!!
I don't care about what anyone thinks this is one of the most realistic first person shooter out there. The missios are very in depth. Once you get a hold of the controls it is not very confusing. If you want some challenge and action you should buy this game. The objectives of these missions will change, some missions you will have to diffuse a bomb, but others you will have to resque hostages or even do both in the same level.

its cool at first but.....
At first i liked it but then after a while it just got boring not much to say it speaks . ... Read more

For those willing to take the bait, Sega Bass Fishing has an addictive gameplay hook that will reel in sporting enthusiasts and even a few hardcore gamers. This realistic 3-D bass fishing simulation shines with three distinct gaming modes, eight fishing environments, and 13 different lures.

Let's be honest here. Fishing simulation games aren't for everyone. Many hardcore gamers will likely bypass this title because they believe the genre lacks the instant gratification of fast-moving shooters. That's a shame. Though it might not be everyone's can of worms, Sega Bass Fishing does offer a subtle, highly addictive gaming experience that will challenge even the most seasoned of game veterans.

This isn't Quake, to be sure. But you'll need similar gaming smarts and strategies to succeed in this water-based sporting environment. It takes a skilled aim and a steady hand to hook and reel in the largest fish, which are surrounded by smaller, less desirable catches. There's nothing worse than casting your lure directly at a monster-sized bass only to have it intercepted by a meddlesome minnow. We encountered more than our share of near misses, which gives us virtual bragging rights to "the one that got away."

While some gamers will prefer the subtlety of free-form fishing sans time constraints, this game also features a fast-action arcade mode that requires the player to meet a minimum quota of catches before advancing to a new fishing environment. An optional Dreamcast fishing controller (sold separately) makes the task of catching these underwater critters all the easier. The controller, which also adds a realistic rumble when you catch a fish, is a highly recommended accessory for the ultimate home fishing experience. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Near-perfect translation from the hit arcade game
• Eight realistic 3-D fishing environments
• Three different game modes to choose from
• Great control with optional fishing controller (sold separately)

Cons:

• Game genre will not appeal to everyone

Features

• All new Dreamcast exclusive game modes
• Amazing AI = fish react realistically to changing conditions and lure types
• 8 unique fishing locations rendered in gorgeous 3D graphics
• 14 different lures - each with unique performance
• Compatible with Dreamcast fishing controller (sold separately) for the most lifelike experience possible

boring game
this game is very boring! is not even little bit of fun!the graphics are good. the game is a person on a boat and fishing! how boring is that! if you like fishing rent it first because the game could be boring to you too.

SEGA BASS FISHING (READ)
This game is fun for a not so serious gamer but I bought my game at BEST BUY for 99cents. This game is VERY EASY to beat but it is fun

A Fishing Video Game?!?!?
Wow would ever think that a fishing video game could be fun? Well Sega sure porved that it can with Sega Bass Fishing. This is the most realistic fishing sumilator to date and is extremely fun. You can play as either a man or a woman fisherman in a few different moddes including tounament which is extremely fun where you have 4 minutes in the morning, afternoon and night in 3 different spots to try and catch the most total weight of bass. You can choose from a large variety of lures and after you catch a certain amount of fish you can unlock new special lures. The realism when catching a bass is there. The smaller one's will put up a small struggle, but can be easily brought up to your boat, but the larger they get the harder they are to bring in and the more likely they are to snap your line. You can also use a fishing controller on your Dreamcast that makes this game so much more realistic. I highly recommend this game to fans of fishing. Hey, it's only 10 bucks. ... Read more

Packed with all the energy and over-the-top moves of a Jackie Chan movie, Power Stone revitalizes the fighting game genre with fully functional 3-D combat environments and frenzied strategy. Face your opponent in a London courtyard and you can hurl café chairs and tables at him before taking him out by swinging around a lamppost. Or fight in a dilapidated shopping mall, and beat your foe down with a giant stuffed teddy bear after tossing him through a storefront window. Each multilevel combat area is stocked with crates, barrels, clubs, even ray guns, and everything can be used as a weapon.

Interactive fighting environments are fun, but what really sets Power Stone apart are the power stones. Collecting all three stones transforms the character into a superbeing, unlocking new and devastating attacks. Since the overall goal of the game is to beat up your opponent, and the superform lets you do the most damage, competition for the stones is fierce.

If you're tired of the standard fighting game formula and want a little more, Power Stone is the game for you. It's a perfect translation of the arcade hit, and the uncomplicated, frantic combat will bring a grin to many a jaded gamer's face. --Mike Fehlauer

Pros:

• Easy to learn, fast-paced gameplay
• 11 unique, multilevel, interactive fighting environments
• Great use of VMU
• Smooth, vivid, arcade-quality graphics

• Game may be too frantic for some players

Features

• Fighting game
• Incredibly fast-paced brawling action lets players team up against others or fight each for himself
• Use environmental objects, such as chairs and tables, as weapons
• Collect power stones to unlock new and devastating attacks
• For 1 to 4 players

Power Stone Rocks!
Power Stone is a fun filled action game that every one will like.
It has fast action!Fast pace baby!The way I like it.
The desighn is great.The level desighn in Power stone is awesome.

Gameplay is great!Thats what it's all about.Gameplay.It's also easy to use and learn.The game will last for awhile but You will eventually get bored with it.But not for awhile.

This game is great...I give it 5/5....It's really good trust me.

I haven't played Power Stone 2 though.But get this game.....

Later...

ONE TRICK PONY PLAYERS WOULD LOVE THIS GAME
If you want a game that you can master in 5 mins with any character then POWER STONE IS IT. I beat the game as I got it once I discovered "the formula"...

I'll list the pros and cons to give you a fair rundown

Pros
1) Characters are unique and fun with personality, i.e. personal story, ending etc (missing from PS2)
2) Backrounds are the BOSS and fully interactive
3) The moves and effects are radical (King Capcom shines here)
4) Fast action
5) Cool Japanese voices

Cons
1) One dimensional fighting sucks as a 3D fighting game!!
2) Weapons make no sense once you know the formula! They just slow you down and make you a prime target for the formula!!

Overall
Overall this is a DISAPPOINTING attempt at a fighting game. The concept is good but the fighting engine is flawed. Powerstone 2 got it right and is a blast, read my review!

The craziest 3D fighter game yet!
Capcom goes all out on animation, action, and humor with this 3D fighter game.It is a whole lot better when you play with two people despite the fact their are unlockables in the game.There are also mad moves you can do off poles, walls, on other miscelaneous objects found in the game.I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to play Capcom or Squaresoft games. ...

Racing on freeways, what fun is that?!
I thought this game deserves one star because the gameplay is fu***** cheap. The only race mode is race on the freeway, it gats real old, real fast. The only thing I find fun is the ways you can customize your car, but that is pretty much it.Also this game does not deserve to be $25, it should be free.

EyeToy is best enjoyed by groups

Online gaming has arrived on the Dreamcast! Chu Chu Rocket is the first \ game to fully utilize the Internet connectivity of the Dreamcast. This simple (but very addic\ tive) puzzle game is strongly reminiscent of the traditional "cat-and-mouse" game. Your goal is to herd some \ intergalactic rats (the strangely-named Chu Chus) into a rocket, while avoiding some whacked-out space \ cats (a.k.a. Kapu Kapus) that are in fast pursuit.

While the bare-boned graphics won't win any design awards, Chu Chu Rocket does offer an impressive online gaming experience. In addition to the solo mode, the game let\ s you connect with gamers from around the world for true multiplayer madness. Whether you compete against\others or tag-team to solve the puzzles, Chu Chu Rocket provides an exciting entry point into \ the emerging world of networked gaming. (Note: Online features require players to have an existing IS\ P connection, sold separately.) ... Read more

Great game!
If your tired of playing the traditional sporting games, then this game is for you. It's got a good variety of non-traditional games including bungee jumping, skysurfing, bmx, 4-wheel, and snow boarding. Play by yourself or with a friend. Great visual effects and good controls.

Awesome
I really thought this game would suck, I hadn't heard a good review on it. I went ahead and bought it because I got a good deal on it and I'll admit I hated it at first but after you play it for awhile and get used to the controls it is awesome. Is it challenging yes, will it become a cakewalk no. Anything can happen in this game your not going to learn the controls and totally dominate the game everytime. I love it it's well Awesome.

Ok but very little fun
I thoght this game is a dud. Most of the levels you can't come close to winning and other are a piece of cake. 3 stars is probably the best because the easy levels are sort of fun. I would highly recomend this game. If you think i'm lieing then you must think crazy. This game is not how good it looks like on the cover. ... Read more
