    Part of you will want to see where the story goes, even as another part will want to go back into the dark to suck blood and kill the wicked, and that mix will keep you plowing onward.

    It can get a little too technical and difficult at times, but the various systems in the game, such as Break Arts, chaining attacks, and the weapon creation system, are simply revolutionary for an RPG.

    This is a nice alternative to the spoon-fed clues you get in so many adventure games.

    And this absurdness is what makes The Sims tragic, funny, mundane, and one of the most entertaining games I've seen in a long, long time.

    An excellent home translation of an arcade hit, but could use a bit more tweaking to truly shine.

    It blows away every 3D fighting game I've ever played (even "Virtua Fighter 3," and by a much bigger margin than I expected!), so go buy it when you get your Dreamcast, or feel like a total fool when it's sold out the next day.

    If you feel the itch for some wacky, freewheelin' racing action, you'd be better off getting out a copy of your favorite kart racing title and saving yourself the pain, the money, and the aggravation of getting that maddening laugh stuck in your head.
