2K1 is very good, but is it better than Madden's series?
I like this game and have not played Madden much at all.
How to control defensive linemen:
off the snap:
press A and hold with heel of thumb
-press trigger L or R for club
-hold A and a trigger, then lightly tap B for spin
-hold A and a trigger, then tap Y for swim maneuver
-hold A and a trigger, then tap X for rip(I think)

WOW...football on the Dreamcast peaked here
NFl 2K1 is the best NFL game around! It has great graphics, lots of replay value and great commentary that is not annoyingly repetative. The backround graphics could have been touched up but the games still ROCKS. If you own a Dreamcast (the best system that never made it) then get this

Better than 2K2.
This is probably the most complete NFL game there is. Certainly the best one I've ever played. So it's 2002 and the rosters are out of date and the graphics are a little dated. That shouldn't bother you. The passing, running, and catching are all top notch in my opinion. If you get the hang of it on Rookie, bump up the difficulty to Pro. You'll have to be pretty good to do well on Pro. The A.I. doesn't learn your patterns very well, and you can usually win games by running the same plays over and over (I have about 8 plays I run all the time and I won the Super Bowl last season on Pro setting). I can't say how tough it is on All-Pro, but I will find out some day. If you don't mind if your football is a little old, you really should get this one. You can get it for real cheap usually. ...

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

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

Great Premise, Horrible Execution
Your character, called "the sleeper," awakens from a slumber several centuries old to find the world being overrun by tentacles and sentient plant life, all sprouting from an enormous temple named "Fogna." Equipped with a ten foot tall suit of robotic armor named "Elemental Gimmick Gear," he sets off to fight the evil and overcome his own amnesia. It's a bargain basement story at best, and aside from the introduction and a brief revelation halfway through the game, the writing really grinds to a halt right there. You're given no continuing motivation to play.

There are a total of three cinematic cut scenes in Elemental Gimmick Gear. One is played at the onset of a new game, and serves to introduce the storyline (or, perhaps, lack thereof). The second is a montage of scenes from that cinema, and plays when you power the game up and fail to press the start button within a couple seconds. The third is your generic "reward" video, and is played every time you defeat a boss and receive a new power. Eight hours into this game, I'd watched that same cinema half a dozen times. No minor nuances were altered, to differentiate between my reception of the ice beam as opposed to, say, the fire beam. It's all the same, horribly compressed, video scene. I'm sure there would have been an equally uninspiring CGI at the game's conclusion, had I been granted the willpower to make it that far.

Perhaps the only factor in which EGG doesn't completely lag is the impressive originality within the overworld's graphics. There's a beautiful, stylistic, thick-lined detail in the backdrops of the game's overhead battle scenes that, with a little finesse, could have been really well done. In today's world of 3-D rendered surroundings and polygons, polygons, polygons, it's nice to see some legitimate linework making its way into a game. Unfortunately, programmers managed to turn even that slim positive element into a non-factor, as despite their beauty it's incredibly difficult to navigate your way around the detailed sketches.

When you enter a boss battle, the game abruptly shifts from the traditional overhead adventure format (a'la Zelda: A Link to the Past) to a strange, polygonal 3-D battle. In addition to the jerky shift between vantagepoints, the visual style shifts just as abruptly, giving way to a poorly textured 3-D battle zone. Bosses are poorly designed and far from intimidating, to the point where they're almost comical. Your surroundings look vaguely similar to the overhead screen they're meant to be molded after, but lack the fine detail and linework that made those scenes even remotely memorable. The characters are simplistic to a fault, and would've been just as much at home with the first wave of Playstation titles as they are here, late in the Dreamcast's life. Add to that an unforgivable load time prior to each boss battle, and you've got an unhappy camper 97% of the time.

Gameplay in EGG is a chore, full of inconsistencies, quirks and bugs. I honestly don't think this game was playtested before its release. Moving around the screen varies from difficult to impossible, and collision detection is way off. Enemies are either too powerful or too weak, with nothing landing in between. I've watched, several times, as my ten foot robot fell to the almighty power of a trout. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing� you put a fish and a robot in the same room and tell them to fight to the death, my money's most certainly not on the fish.

Your robot also has a love for sailing off ledges and cliffs, an action which actively returns you to the last doorway you walked through and takes 20% of your life as a toll. It's beyond easy to accidentally sail into the abyss, as the machine assumes you've stepped over a ledge every time you're within a couple feet of doing so. Pair that with the horrendous controls, which, instead of following your instructions and heading north, often lead you alternately northwest and northeast in a bizarre drunken swagger, this is a big drawback.

Even the soundtrack is horribly lacking In EGG. Though obviously influenced heavily by the score to Final Fantasy VIII (complete with the soft plucking of violin strings), the game relies all too often on looping and then looping once again. Each individual song is comprised of MAYBE a minute and a half of original music, which then loops back upon itself infinitely. Considering you'll spend about an hour in an average dungeon, this means you'll hear the same obnoxious tune looped upwards of fifty times before you finally complete your work and return to the overworld.

Thinking about Elemental Gimmick Gear makes me wonder what happened. Hudson Soft was chasing the Holy Grail with EGG, the thought of introducing a new type of game to the masses, something which would forever serve as the mold from which entire franchises were crafted. Instead, they released a product which can only be described as overly flawed, incomplete, uninspiring and often painful. I wouldn't wish Elemental Gimmick Gear on my worst enemy.

this game rules
if you like 2d games you must get this game.

This game is stupid!
Not only has this game have a stupid name, but the story line is stupid too.I just can't get into a game where you play I guy wondering around inan EGG shaped armor suit.The graphics weren't all that impressive.

Wacky Races is a cross between South Park Rally andMario 64, and stars classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters. While thiskart racing game doesn't really bring anything new to the racing genre, it doesbring hours of lighthearted fun.

All the members of the motley crew from the cartoons are here, includingPenelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly, Muttley--even the Slag Brothers. They've allcome with their trademark vehicles, from the Slag Brothers' rock-solid,relentless Boulder Mobile to Peter Perfect's turbocharged, streamlined TurboTerrific. To add the always-present fighting element, the cars come with theirown individual features to help you get around the numerous courses.

A title ideal for keeping younger kids busy while not appearing totally alien tothe rest of us, this game boils down to a kid-friendly version of South ParkRally. The colorful cartoon graphics give you the feeling that you're in thecartoon itself. --Mike Fehlauer ... Read more

greattttttttt
just like the show i got my from ebay for 4 bucks buy this game it even has mutleys hiliarius laugh

Every Dreamcast owner should buy this racer!
This is a fantastic racer.The environments and texture mapping are amazing. They've really captured the look and feel of the cartoon. The character models are also very well done. Gameplay is addicting as you attempt to come in first and progress in the game. Its a little shallow in the sound effects department but thats a pretty minor complaint. Some of the races can be TOUGH so don't be fooled into thinking this is just a kids game.

Amazing Game
If you are old enough to remember the Wacky Races or Hanna Barbera cartoons (Muttley and his infectious giggle!), this game will give younostalgic bliss.

It is set up sort of like Diddy Kong Racing on N64,where you start out in a central area and have to drive to and open up newareas.

The graphics are simply incredible, and the audio is good aswell.The game uses the new cel shading techniques to make it look exactlylike a cartoon, and it uses the Dreamcast's power well.

It also controlswell and is easy enough for anyone to pick up and play.Each car has somespecial functions that you get to select up to three of, and they cost"tokens" which you pick up around the track.For example, turboboost is usually 1 or 2 but something more fancy would be 3 tokens.Itadds a lot of strategy to the racing because the game is basically boileddown to a kart type racer in that you have to use your weapons/skillsinstead of pure driving skill. But that's what these types of games areabout, fun!

Even 2 player mode maintains a solid frame rate, which isvery impressive indeed. I'd say if you enjoy cartoons and kart racers,this game is a must buy! ... Read more

In keeping with the film's story, the game takes place on a 1950s Yorkshire chicken farm and follows a group of loveable chickens as they try to break out of confinement. Players must help Ginger and her flock make a break for freedom while avoiding the evil Mrs. Tweedy and her oafish husband, who want to turn them into chicken pies.

When an American rooster named Rocky lands in the farm, Ginger sees her chance: these chickens won't cross the road--they'll fly the coop. Together, they prove that chickens are anything but chicken, as they engage in a daring and spectacular escape.

Set in a 3-D world that reflects the film's style, design, and atmosphere, the gameplay emphasizes stealthy exploration. You must sneak your way around the farm and gather objects that are necessary to your escape plan. Throughout the game, you'll be given the opportunity to control different characters who star in the film--Ginger, Rocky, Nick, and Fetcher. ... Read more

This game is extremely frustrating.You have to repeat tasks over and over again.On the good side, you have an unlimited numer of lives...

Chicken Fun!
A good game all-around.The game starts with footage directly from the movie and segues right into the game.The graphics are excellent; the characters are rendered smoothly and of a quality similar to the motion picture, and the scenery is good and varied as well.The sound...the characters speak in the same British accent, and there is a nice soundtrack on this game that helps set a tone of danger.The character's movement is excellent.Ginger can sidle along a hen, or sprint across an exposed area in search of a tool in a crazy escape scheme.There are a lot of levels to this game to keep you interested, and if you go into a chicken hut you can play a different mini-game of sorts. For kids, it was just a smidgen scary/advanced for a 4 1/2 year old, but I think would be fine for kids 6 and up....I like it myself (age 38) :)

When we first popped in Sega GT, we were a bit skeptical. Itdoesn't just resemble the layout of Gran Turismo for the PlayStation;it's almost identical to it, from earning licenses to having your own garage andstocking it with brand-name cars. But the more we played, the more we fell inlove with Sega GT's silky graphics that speed along with only theslightest blurring at night. The scenery is so distracting that most playerswill have to remember to keep their eyes on the road.

Usually, racing games can get pretty tiring, but Sega GT will hold mostplayers, mainly because there are so many licenses you can earn from the automanufacturers in the game, including Mazda, Suzuki, and other mostly Japaneseauto makers. One of the coolest features here allows you to create a car fromscratch and then see how it stacks up on the track--chances are your firstdesign won't do well.

A little more reflection and other effects would have better integrated the carswith their surroundings, and some star-studded songs sure would have been preferable to the game's generic soundtrack. --Robb GuidoPros:

• Much more absorbing than the average racing game
• Slick graphics will make players drool

• Generic soundtrack

Sega GT - RACE
Wow, this game is good! I just bought it at my local EB for 8 bucks. I brought it home and played it with my friend, and weplayed it. The cars steered out of control, and they seemed to have a magnetic attraction to the wall!

Eventually, I got used to it and mastered the game. The scenery is the best I've seen. I constantly find myself staring at themassive buildings, rocky canyons, instead of the road. Very great visuals, very slick.

The prize of this game is Championship mode. It is amazing. You can buy lots of licensed cars, tune them to perfection, then race them. The idea to get licenses in order to unlock new circuits can be good, but when you just underqualify by .20 seconds, boy it's frustrating. The single race mode is very nice, and adds to the replayability. A very cool part is the "carrozerria" (like a pizzeria), where you can build your own car. But you have to have licenses to do that by racing, blah blah, and you have no more than 3 customizations to build your own car.

The CPU doesn't offer that much of a challenge. For example, I was in a Cappucino in an Open race. The Cappucino had only 64 HP and around 600 CC. I raced a Ford Mustang, which has around 400 HP and 5000 HP, and he won by about 10 seconds. And another time I raced someone with the same exact car and I beat them by 5 seconds. Stick to Time Attack for a fun challenge.

All in all, a decent racing game. One of the best I've played since Gran Turismo 3. If you have a tight wallet and you want a good racing game that'll keep you occupied for 10-20 hours, pick this one up.

GARBAGE!
I bought Sega GT and got it all scrached up from invideo2002. I wish I can tell you how fun that game is, but I can't because of invideo2002 that gave me a full scrached CD. I'll just say how fun it is by looking on the screenshots.

You can tell I have been on roller coasters and I have Roller Coaster Tycoon so I'm a Roller Coaster Freak! For those who don't like roller coasters try to rent it, for the rest of u GET THE GAME!!!

Coaster Works - Really feels like a simulator!
Coaster Works - simply two addicting words.This game is one of the first I've ever played ( I'm a coaster enthusiast ) where you really feel like you are on the coaster.The graphics are great, too!You have no limits ( except for height, but it can still be, like, 300 feet high! )You can go vertical, do any possible inversion, and the thrill is just amazing.

If you're the type of gamer who'd rather lay down cards than blow uparmies, Sega's Caesars Palace 2000 might be the payoff that you've beenanticipating. With a wide variety of games, which range from card games to tablegames like roulette and craps to video and slot machines, Caesars Palace2000 offers something for the gambler in just about everyone.

Graphically, Caesars Palace 2000 takes full advantage of the Dreamcast'scapabilities, with tables so sharp you can feel the felt, excellently animatedshuffles and deals, and authentically marked chips and cards.

The odds at this casino were verified by math analyst William Bertram, and areas realistic as in any physical gambling hall. For this reason, if you don'tusually leave Las Vegas overflowing with winnings, don't expect to be winningevery hand at Caesars Palace 2000. On the other hand, this realism makesthe game a perfect practice ground for gambling in the real world. The game'stutorial advice, although offered usually only after a goof, is accurate andprecise--a perfect primer for learning new games.

The only major drawback to the game is its speed. As devotees of computersolitaire know, the beauty of card games on a video system is that there's noneed for shuffling or actually dealing the cards. That said, Caesars Palace2000 maintains realism by showing shuffles and deals, but these detract fromgameplay by slowing the time between hands. This slowness is particularlyobvious in the slot machines. --Benjamin Reese

Pros:

• Highly realistic casino gambling environment
• Realistic odds, verified by math analyst William Bertram
• Excellent graphics and sound
• High replayability

• Realistic animation slows game pace, sometimes to point of boredom

BAD
This game stink's - If U want a GAMBLING game then I would BUY Royal CASINO alot more to this game

RETURNED FORA REFUND!!
I was really excited when my husband surpised me with the game, but became disappointed as I continued to play.I would not consider myself a professional gambler but I do enjoy gambling and frequent the casinos in Lake Tahoe and Reno. I was able to get a refund and exchange the game the following day.

for casino gamblers, real and otherwise...
Caesar's Palace 2000 is not a game that will be appreciated by the casual video gamer. It will, however, be very much appreciated by those who are familiar with and enjoy genuine casino gaming and the casino environment. It assumes a basic knowledge of the numerous casino games included in the release. These are Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Pai Gow Poker, Spanish 21, Mini-Baccarat, Red Dog, Casino War, Slots, Video Poker, Video Poker Challenge, and Video Keno.

The manual does list some basic rules for the numerous games, and offers a help-as-you-play kind of assistance, but Caesar's Palace 2000 will not teach you casino gaming. Not by itself.

To appreciate Caesar's Palace 2000, you will have to have been familiar with the casino environment as well as the particular game you are playing, or you seriously want to become familar with them. And by casino environment, I mean *playing* environment. No scantily clad cocktail servers, neon signs or flashing lights are to be had, but the tables and machines are dead on. As real as any I've ever seen, outside of an actual casino. Caesar's Palace 2000 is a serious casino simulation, for those interested in serious casino gaming.

The value in this title for the single player is a realistic training environment for casino gaming. But you will need other instructional aid, such as some of the the numerous gambling tutorial books and videos widely available. If you're armed with some of these, Caesar's Palace 2000 will prove to be an excellent teacher for two reasons. One is, the mathematics, or 'odds', for the various games are verified as accurate by William Bertram, Ph.D. And reason number two is, the game puts forth a very realistic 'feel' to the casino gaming simulation. But you can only appreciate it if you've actually sat at a roulette, craps, blackjack table, or played another casino game. If you have not, you will miss the subtlety of the 3D rendered tables and gaming areas, and the associated background noise and voices. Everything in this game is designed to maintain the players' focus on actual casino gaming of the serious variety (and when money is at stake, what other varieties are there?)

This game will also have very high value as a party game, because it supports up to four players. Of course, the four players will need to be familiar with actual casino gaming for most of the games included. It should be noted that there is a very strict warning during the game's intro that this product is not to be used for gambling in any way, and that it is highly illegal to do so. But I also have to state that with the accurate math and the authentic tables and machines included, it certainly could be used for gambling.

In fairness, though, Caesar's Palace 2000 does have a lighter side, with an almost-normal video game aspect to it. This is done via a levels-based money and wagering system, where the player must attain a certain degree of proficiency in any particular game before he is able to bet larger amounts.

All of the graphics, equipment, and game rules are authentically Caesar's Palace based, and as such they are quite classy. The animation is flawless, and the voice-overs by the dealers and croupiers are very realistic. The background noise and the sounds of the cards and machines are dead-on. In particular, the lighting of the several table and card game layouts is fantastic.

This game is a winner for the more serious casino gamer, or for anyone who would like to train or play in an authentic casino environment. Anyone else, though, will probably want to pass this title by. ... Read more

What can I say?
Brings back some good memories of my childhood. I remember fighting over the atari w/ my siblings =).... Trust me, its a must buy, and I would like to thank DC for commin' out with it.

So So Fun for Classic Enthusiasts
What do you get when you take great Atari arcade games from the late 70s and early 80s and bring them into the year 2000?You shall know when you play Atari Anniversary Edition.The only games that are really playable are Crystal Castles, Missle Command and Battle Zone.Other than that, everything else plays so horribly with the standard DC control pad that you'll wonder why these games had such an impact on a young game industry.The archive is really cool, but like every other classic collection, it feels pretty sparse.In the end, AAE is a neat little collection of games for people who wondered what it was like before Mario and the likes; just don't expect to spend a lot of time with it.

Atari Anniversary Edition
This game is very boring. Maybe it's too old. Objects are so tiny that it's very hard to play. Very disappointed after trying all the games. waste money. If you want to get old games, get the Smash pack. It's much much more fun & all games are great. ... Read more

Ecco the dolphin has always played the part of Sega's more sedatemascot, providing a relaxing contrast to the hyperactive Sonic theHedgehog games. Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future continuesthis tradition on the Dreamcast, putting the title character in charge of savingthe world yet again. An alien force (creatively called The Foe) has abducted allthe humans and most of the dolphins from earth, leaving only a tiny force ofdolphins to restore things to normal. As Ecco, players must travel through anenormous underwater world, interacting with other sea creatures and solvingpuzzles in a quest to stop The Foe once and for all.

The Dreamcast's power is exploited to beautiful new extremes in this game. Theunderwater environments are filled with shimmering rocks, colorful plants, andoutcroppings of coral. Families of turtles slip through the water in a statelyline, while schools of fish dance in circles and translucent jellyfish sitsuspended in the depths. The most amazing creatures by far are thedolphins--including Ecco--as they are rendered in perfect detail and benefit fromincredibly fluid animation. This is one beautiful game, and the serenesoundtrack adds to the overall atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is about as shallow as the ocean is deep. There aremany missions to complete, from dolphin races to killing teams of sharks, butthere are so few controls that nearly all assignments are completed in the sameway. Tasks become much harder as the game progresses, and the lack of directiongiven to players players needlessly adds to the difficulty. We wasted countlesshours of trial and error trying to figure out what we were supposed to do--timethat would have been saved had the mission objectives been clearer. Still,Ecco the Dolphin is an engaging way to waste time, thanks to its openenvironments and hypnotic beauty. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Absolutely beautiful environments
• Fluid animation

Cons:

• No way to save games in the middle of a level
• Repetitive gameplay
• The game slows when there are many objects onscreen at once

Frustration beyond belief (but I love It)
This game is BEAUTIFUL!!! there is no doubt about it!!! Though it is a very stressful journey from beginning to end, you'll be sooo proud of yourself when (and if) you finally beat it. This game may be too dificult for younger gamers but you should try it.

One of the most visually impressive games for the DC
When Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future was first released for the Dreamcast, it's mouth watering 3-D graphics and incredibly realistic environments were unlike anything else seen on the system to date, and even today with the Dreamcast sleeping with the fishes, Ecco is still one of the top best looking games for the ill-fated system.Just as it's 16-bit incarnations provided for the Genesis years before, this 128-bit update offers the aforemented incredible graphics and very challenging gameplay.As I said before, the graphics are incredibly lifelike and Ecco and all his on-screen fellows move very fluidly and it will be hard not to take your eyes off the screen.Unfortuneately, the same steep learning curve has been inherited here as well.It is very easy to get completely lost and stuck in the game and not know where to go or what to do next.All in all, this isn't a game for novice gamers, but for those who have played Ecco games of the past and look for challenging and lengthy gameplay will have plenty to look forward to here.

Good and Bad
This game is great in so many ways. Ecco handles exactly as you would expect a dolphin to handle, and the scenary is gorgeous. For those who experienced Ecco in the old 2D games, this version will satisfy your nostalgia. Its got everything you have come to love from Ecco games

However...this game is tough... really really tough. Although this difficulty sometimes results from the puzzles or enemies, it is more often caused by gameplay issues. First, Ecco gets stuck easily in ocean rocks and vegetation, and you will scream at your TV in frustration as frequently come to a dead stop at the worst moments. Second, some of the stages are very dark, and you'll often find yourself straining to see even the most obvious details. One wonders why they couldn't raise the contrast just a bit more when they made the game. Finally, you can't save your game until you complete a level. Some of these levels take a long time to complete; it frequently gets to a point where you must choose between quitting and starting from scratch later, or continuing to play even though you have a headache from staring at the screen for 4 hours.

But the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion :) ... Read more

Editorial Review

Select from more than 30 different fighters as you take to the skies to defend a newly independent republic from its many enemies--for fame, for glory, and most of all: for a price.

Konami's Air Force Delta features simplistic controls with an emphasis on supersonic fighter plane action rather than the mechanics of flight. Those who worry about flap positions and realistic spin modeling won't find either here, but armchair top guns will enjoy the game's shoot-'em-up feel and ultrarealistic graphics.

You assume the role of a mercenary pilot flying missions with very specific goals, such as destroying a convoy of ships or knocking reconnaissance planes out of the sky. Taken one by one, these missions are enjoyable and engaging, but they are all pretty similar and quickly become bland. Succeeding in a mission earns credits to buy new planes--more than 30 beautifully modeled real-world aircraft are available. Unfortunately, the differences between the fighters are mostly cosmetic. While you may find a plane that performs better in a certain mission than others, they all pretty much fly the same way.

The graphics are impressive--but things tend to move too fast to afford much sightseeing. In particular, the fighters are extremely detailed and authentic. The first time you see vapor trails form on your wingtips as you pull a high-g maneuver, your jaw will drop and you'll begin to insist that your friends call you "Maverick."

Air Force Delta is a good "show-off-your-Dreamcast" game that could probably have benefited from a little more time in development. However, it's the perfect game for a quick flying fix. --Aaron Karp

Pros:

• Lots of fighter aircraft
• Impressive graphics at close range
• Very cool, cinematic "mission reply" option

• Bland campaign
• Not enough variety among planes

A truly GREAT flight experience
Air Force Delta is one of the sweetest games on the Dreamcast! The graphics are not great but they are cool and more than get the job done. The varing missions keep the game refreshing and exciting and add a lot of replay value. The music is not worthy of a seperate cd soundtrack but it is good for the game. There are TONS of planes to buy which add some depth to the game because you have to choose a good plane for the various missions.

Is you want a great flying experience for the Dreamcast look no further.

GET THIS GAME
If you're into flight sim combat games this one is really good. I can play this game over and over and never get enough. I got my brother hooked on it too. This is by far the best flight sim I've ever owned.

...
This game is really cool.I never get tired of it.It is so realistic.Its fun to play it.... you have to beat missions and you get money.The money is used to buy more planes.the most expensive one is about 6,000,000 you get about 65,000 or so for every mission.But the planes are very fun to use.this game is better than ....Much better. ...

It's the ultimate trek for survival.

best fighter game around
i just have to say this game was great. i rented it around 11 o'clock a.m. i stopped playing it at 12 at night. i was so drawn into it i didnt realize how long i had been playin. it is so real and being in a F-14 Tomcat was a dream it was just like a real HUD display. the only problem was there should be more American fighters, it was all focused around the jap jets,but i can understand it because it was made in japan. lol. so i give it a 4.5 out of 5 . great game but the price is still to high for me to buy .

Great flying game
This is a great flying game. Makes you feel like a real pilot with great controls. No, you don't get to blow up a whole lot of things, but it is pretty challenging. Good selection of planes to choose from and a fantastic training mode. It could use a little more variety of modes but the graphics and flight simulation are extremely good. Overall, a great game.

Nice to look at for the first 10 minutes or so
but it gets old pretty quickly after that. The terrain looks good and the controls are very easy to operate. But there aren't any combat missions; your entire selection of combat options are dogfighting against either one or two enemy planes. Most of the game consists of target shooting, flying around courses and shooting at baloons. This might be a good choice for a younger child who just wants to fly around some nice scenery and maybe learn to land the plane on the runway. I played it a total of about 2 hours and lost interest. ... Read more

2K1 is very good, but is it better than Madden's series?
I like this game and have not played Madden much at all.
How to control defensive linemen:
off the snap:
press A and hold with heel of thumb
-press trigger L or R for club
-hold A and a trigger, then lightly tap B for spin
-hold A and a trigger, then tap Y for swim maneuver
-hold A and a trigger, then tap X for rip(I think)

WOW...football on the Dreamcast peaked here
NFl 2K1 is the best NFL game around! It has great graphics, lots of replay value and great commentary that is not annoyingly repetative. The backround graphics could have been touched up but the games still ROCKS. If you own a Dreamcast (the best system that never made it) then get this

Better than 2K2.
This is probably the most complete NFL game there is. Certainly the best one I've ever played. So it's 2002 and the rosters are out of date and the graphics are a little dated. That shouldn't bother you. The passing, running, and catching are all top notch in my opinion. If you get the hang of it on Rookie, bump up the difficulty to Pro. You'll have to be pretty good to do well on Pro. The A.I. doesn't learn your patterns very well, and you can usually win games by running the same plays over and over (I have about 8 plays I run all the time and I won the Super Bowl last season on Pro setting). I can't say how tough it is on All-Pro, but I will find out some day. If you don't mind if your football is a little old, you really should get this one. You can get it for real cheap usually. ...

Awesome
This game is an amazing soccer game because you are in total control of the players i.e. instead of automatically receiving the ball when you touch it to the next player, the next layer has to go get( which is you controling it.)

Games like this NEED a minus star feature!!!
Virtual Striker is possibly the worst soccer game of all time and it is a shame that the Dreamcast has to lay claim to it. There is no redeeming quality for fellow soccer fans and nothing to make it even worth a rental.

Go get UEFA DREAM SOCCER it is way cool and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than this excuse for a sports game. My thats a lot of zeros.

An Excellent Game
Based on some of the reviews for this game, I was a little leary about purchasing it.But my kids like soccer, so we bought it.

I'm not a big soccer fan, but I love this game and so do my kids.I think I like this game even more than NFL 2K2 and NBA 2K1 (Sacrilege, I know).The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is fast (although a speed burst button would be nice).Some reviewers have criticized the button configuration, but we haven't had any problems (of course my 7, 8, and 10 year olds catch on fairly fast).Others said the game wasn't realistic, but it's like watching a game on TV and the scores reflect this.So far, I haven't been able to beat the COM, even on easy mode, and I think that's another reason for some of the negative reviews (some egos have been bruised).There is very little commentary, but the incredible crowd cheers makes up for that.

Buy this game!It's great! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command features the Space Ranger star himself in a battle against Emperor Zurg. Drawing from the cartoon show that was, itself, based on the movie Toy Story, the game finds Buzz exploring seven worlds containing 14 levels while interacting with real-time 3-D characters. Explore Jo-Ad, Trade World, Karn, and Gargantua with jetpacks, hover boards, and jet bikes. Defeat Torque, XL, and Warp Darkmatter with laser guns, lightning guns, and plasma bolts. It all leads up to a final confrontation with Emperor Zurg on Planet Z. ... Read more

saturday morning buzz
I bought this game for my nephew to play, but it turned out to be a little more chalenging than i thought. He had some trouble navigating buzz in the right direction and shoot at tragets at the same time. If you stay too long in one place more robots come back to attack you even after destroying them. Also, the time limit makes it hard for a slow player to finish each level. Throughout the game, graphics or film clips from the saturday morning program are shown. The presentation is almost seamless- almost, since you can tell some clips don't fit a certain game scene exactly.
Don't be confused with the Toy story 2 game. This game has no connection to the the movie with Woody and other toys. As an action game, it is not bad, ( all the worlds are 3D, eventhough the film clips are 2D). Although this game claims to have 7 worlds, it actually goes back to three previous worlds (a harder level the second time I assume).

this game would be good for someone over six who loves the tv series.

Best than Disney Movies
If you want a Buzz Lightyear for you, now you can have it with this incredible game. The graphics are cool and so is the gameplay. You can interact with all the caracter of the movie (like Mr. Potato Head). This game is cool and its very charged of fun. Go and get it. ... Read more

A fun game for a change of pace
You're either going to get into the spirit of this game or you're going to think it's a piece of juvenile ... and hate it.I liked the game, but then, it reminded me a lot of the old Mario Brothers game for the original Nintendo gaming system.Of course, the graphics are much higher in this game, but the game play is sort of similar and very straightforward, with the game always pushing you in just one direction.

You control Donald Duck, who has only two moves he can use in the game, jumping and a punch.So, using just these two moves, you move from level to level, trying to find your nephews toys and locate the boss piece in each area so you can fight the boss on each level to progress to the next level.

Once you get the basics of the game down, it's not very difficult, mostly learning the patterns of the game, like the aforementioned Mario Brothers.Still though, the game is light and fun and the learning curve takes you from easy to slightly difficult.Children will probably enjoy this more than adults will, but adults can enjoy it too.I should know, I'm one and I enjoyed it.

So, if you're in the mood for a game with the feel of one of the classic games from the Nintendo era, I'd recommend that you check this game out.There are worse ways to spend a couple of hours, after all.Hope you like it.

A Really Quacky Game!
This game is a really neat 1 player game. Donald Duck is on a journy to save Daisy by finding his nephews toys,beat a record time on each fun-filled level,and gather pieces of the Boss Warp Pad-he must find 4 to generate the teleporter to defeat the boss. This game is not only fun, but fun-ny! I highly recomend this game. If you don't like to take chances, rent it first and see for yourself. ... Read more
