This game...
If you think you will like this game because someone told you it was good, then your wrong.I have a lot of games and this one is the worst.It is impossible to get a minute into the game without dieing.I hate it.It isn't fun and has bad graphocs.Don't waste your money or time.

Not very refined, but OK if you can forgive its shortcomings
This game is nowhere near the level of polish seen in HOTD2 or Confidential Mission.The story makes no sense, the graphics are decidely first-generation DC, many of the sound affects are downright laughable, and the localization is horrible.However, since light gun games aren't exactly epic tapestries of plot, this game is pretty fun if you can ignore its faults.There are several different kinds of enemies, some average, some actually pretty cool.At six stages, it's about twice as long as CM, and much more challenging, since enemies usually require more than one hit to die.You definetly need a gun to play this game right, because control on the controller is far from refined.So if your itching to use you light gun on something new, check this out.But whatever you do, just don't pay full price for it! ...

DREAMCAST PLAYER
I have had this particular controller for nearly four years now. I have never had a moments trouble with it.It's very comfortable for the hands and doesn't feel heavy at all. The only different thing about this controller from the original one is the buttons. They're a little further apart, like an Xbox controller. Other than that this is a flawless product.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money!
I am trying to warn you here. Don't waste your time with this controller. It's made of very cheap plastic, the buttons are flimsy, and it is very hard to hold the controller (think of the XBox Controller). You will be much happier with Sega's first-party controller. ... Read more

Editorial Review

In this third-person action-adventure game--which is based, in part, on the live-action film Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!--you play the role of the Mean One himself. Embark on a quest through 24 missions, from Whoville to an underwater world, and across four Seussian environments with three minigames and a bonus level. Players collect and assemble a variety of gadgets, such as the rotten-egg launcher, the slime shooter, bad breath, and the GrinchCopter. Players can transform into the Grinch's sidekick, Max the Dog, to explore areas that are inaccessible to the Mean One. ... Read more

Enjoyable game.
My daughter loves this game. I bought it for her last Christmas and she has had hours of fun with this game. However, there are certain parts of this game that are very difficult and I wonder how the creators expect children to complete the levels. But as I said earlier my daughter does enjoy this game immensely.

I'm11 I know this kind of stuff
I'm 11 year old gamer and moviegoer. Now I think the Movie was OK not a World Wonder though. I was saving money up for this game. When I got it I played constantly but at level to out of 4 I got really bored you will too! Please don't buy this its confusing for kids and adults should be sleeping through it.

FUN!!!!!!!!
I bought this for my little boy but its a hard game and me and my husband stayed up all night playing it.I wouldnt rate it for a 6 year old but this game is definitly fun. ... Read more

At this super low price and with these three great games, you can't get a better deal!The DC, although going out of production, is comparable if not better than the other systems on the market.But at this price, you can barely buy a game or two for the PS2, Gamecube, or X box.The DC has a good game base, with plenty to choose from, and they are cheap!You can get some great games from 5 to 20 dollars.Act fast! ...

Editorial Review

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

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.

tokyo extreme racer2
awesome game u start out with $15,000 and from there u buy a car tune it add accesories for style speed etc. great graffix huge selection of cars to buy and costumize mostly japanese cars not many euros but overall awesome game

arcade trills for free
Greatest Arcade Hits is a very thrilling with six really cool arcade games.Every single one of the games is multi-player and full of manydifferent exciting levels!My brother and I spent very long periods oftime playing multi-player on all the different levels.My favorite one outof all the games would have to be ROBOT.I thought that because I like thechallenge and the interesting characters as you move on through the levels.

Relive the Humbling and Challenging Classics
For anyone who spent their tuition on Defender and Robotron 2084, lost sleep over Joust, and was haunted by Sinistar, this is a must-purchase.The games are emulated seamlessly and bear a finer, more distinct resolution than the playstation equivalent package.You'll be calling insick to work, and all the old nostalgia will bring everyone at thewatercooler to your place, sans quarters.Let's keep the classics coming;they should live on every new console because of their timeless gameplayand innovative designs which are largely mimicked to this day.

No more than what it claims to be
It's difficult to justify being disappointed by a suite of games which are exactly duplicated from their previous life as stand-alone arcade games, but somehow I still expected a little more than what I got.

I used tospend hours at a time at the local arcade playing Defender, Sinistar, andthe like, and though I was able to jump right into the games again as if notime had passed at all, the presentation was definitely lacking something.The menu system is cludgy and difficult to navigate. The configurableoptions really aren't that helpful. Also, even though the original graphicsand sound are preserved through the emulation, there seems to be aninordinate amount of flickering and blurring, making a couple of the gamesdifficult to see well and play even on a 27" television.

So if youonly want to play the old games you love without having to make constanttrips to the change machine, this game is a good start, and you will indeedhave fun playing them. Be forewarned, though, that you'll probably end upwith the same feeling that I had -- that Midway took advantage of thesegames to release a quick, inexpensive, and poorly tested product, whichbegins to wear upon your game-playing patience after only an hour or two. ...

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

Editorial Review

The Dreamcast delivers a new sense of realism to the racing-gamesgenre with F1 World Grand Prix. Not only is it one of themost beautiful games of its kind, with lavishly modeled cars andtracks, but it's one of the deepest ones as well.

Almost every aspect of F1's cars can be customized, includinggear ratio, suspension, brake sensitivity, front and rear wings, aswell as tires and the amount of fuel racers choose to carry. Pit stopslet players refuel and repair damage--which cars take realistically--andan announcer identifies racers' ranking, position gains and losses,and specific car damage.

There are 16 races in championship mode, each with weather conditionsbased on conditions found in the real event. A match-race mode lets twofriends compete, which is ideal when you want to go head-to-headagainst a buddy. The only real drawback to this game is that it lacksthe speed of an arcade-style racer, but this fact alone may be enoughto scare away nonracing fans. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Real F1 racers and their cars
• Beautifully modeled tracks and nice weather effects
• An in-depth car-setup screen

• Races are slower than they could be
• The controls are a bit difficult to master

Good stuff.
This game frustrated me when I first played it.I couldn't place in the top 10 despite having played many driving games.Over time, I learned the game's subtleties.The game rewards smoothness and consistency, as I've read real racing does.If you jerk the wheel, you'll spin.Simple.Don't mash your brakes, learn to drift into some turns, apply power smoothly and you'll do O.K.On longer races, I learned the tracks and got the turns down to a science, hitting the lines cleanly, even in tight chicanes. I could go on about the pleasures of mastering this game, but will leave with a simple caveat.If you like to turn the game on, drive, speed up your heartbeat a little, and get the scantily clad girls at the end, you'll be disappointed.If you enjoy Formula One racing, driving tactics, and can last a full race (many, many laps)then this game is for you.Oh, and one more thing: if you buy this game, play it with a steering wheel.It's just a pain without it.

given the choice, I usually go for Monaco Grand Prix
But not always.F1 wins over Monaco GP in some areas.Mainly in presentation.As other reviewers mentioned, in F1, there is a little more dynamic atmosphere - crowds roaring, camera flashes from the grandstands,etc.

Monaco GP, however, has a much better driving simulator.It winshands-down for simulating spins and texture changes.F1 allows you todrive at nearly full speed doing hard turns (even on grass) and come outunharmed, but in Monaco GP you have a pretty good chance of slamming into awall if you try that (even with ABS and traction control on).The onething that F1 seems to simulate reasonable well is understear.If you trybreaking too hard coming into a turn, your front tires lock up and you justplow straight forward...

When I want to play a couple rounds of somethingflashy, I'll start up F1 WGP, but then I'll switch to Monaco for morerealistic racing..

Best "pure" racing game for the DC
I'm mainly writing this to counter the reviews that are saying that this is a horrible game.I don't see that at all.True, if you're not a fan of pure racing games based on a love of auto racing as a sport, you won't likethis game.It's not an arcade game like Crazy Taxi, Tokyo Extreme Racer,etc.This game has depth and requires a little effort.But having saidthat, if you are looking for a racing simulation, this is a great game. The graphics are very good.Definitely good enough to show off to your N64and Playstation friends.They could've been a little tighter in someareas, but overall they are definitely impressive.The control is good,making good use of the analog thumb triggers and analog "stick". You also have the option of making the steering more or less sensitive. This is entirely separate from the handling options dealing with adjustingthe downforce, etc.It also offers many levels of play, from fairly easyto downright impossible.The sound is average overall.Adequate music andsound effects.But having the pit crew on the radio is great.Instead oflooking at corners of your screen to see how the other racers are doing(when you should be staring at the road), your pit crew will chime in withremarks letting you know that you're 3 seconds back, or that you're up 2seconds on the guy behind you, etc.Very nice.Also, the crowd sounds asyou pass by them (while they wave flags and such) are a subtle, but nice,touch.There is a great illusion of speed and the frame rate is crispthroughout. You can choose among 5 views during gameplay.The trackfly-bys before the race and the replay option after the race are justbeautiful to watch.One of the biggest surprises (and what I believe setsthis game apart from all other racers) is the incredible weather effects inthis game.The rain is amazing!It affects your handling and vision andjust looks incredible.And during the race, it can go from cloudy toraining within a few laps and then taper off.True realism. My one bigcomplaint is that they should have tried to include the track from theupcoming US Grand Prix event in Indianapolis this August.But, other thanthat, I'm very happy with this game.All of the 1998 tracks (which areessentially all the tracks on the 2000 circuit) are captured in amazingdetail.Good competition, good control, great graphics, manyoptions--system, mechanical, race--, good sound.Easy to play, hard tomaster.(I can't comment on how this does on 2-play mode or with any othercontroller besides the original DC controller since I haven't tried themyet). ...
