  1. Dreamcast HQ

    There's a TON of detail, in both the textures and backgrounds, and your tank and enemies. Very VERY nice looking game
  2. Sega X
    85
    Good graphics, a cool story, and awesome multiplayer modes make Red Dog a definite game to check out.
  3. It's complex learning curve, is somewhat alien (ouch!) to the genre, but once mastered you'll find yourself wading through more than enough enemies to keep your trigger finger happy.
  4. 82
    Despite some dated, blocky visuals and simple special effects, Red Dog is an elegantly fun game with one simple goal -- if it moves it, blow it up with unabashed ferocity.
  5. Da Gameboyz
    81
    With clean graphics, a rock solid framerate and a four player multiplayer mode that adds to the replayability of the game, Red Dog definitely is worth the price of admission.
  6. CNET Gamecenter
    80
    Classic blast-everything-in-sight gameplay that's wildly entertaining and highly addictive.
  7. Daily Radar
    75
    Controlling the lethal moon buggy can be awkward, and there really is no depth to the game beyond shooting and driving, but there is plenty of fun to be had.

    Great graphics for the time. Very old skool style gameplay with challenging gameplay and upgrades etc to unlock.

    Only reason im not giving

    Only reason im not giving it a ten is that it has a high difficulty with a steep learning curve. Once mastered it's great though
