    As far as graphics and music go, "Bust a Move 4" looks and sounds the nicest of any previous games.

    As a first time player of Resident Evil I found very little to dislike about the game, except for that I would like to have seen less puzzle and more action, and that's me being nitpicky.

    D2
    The desolate landscapes and depressing feeling of isolation from normal everyday existence that Laura Parton goes through, slaying mutants and eating bunnies, is felt more in this Dreamcast title than in the non-stop action feast that Claire Redfield goes through in Capcom's "Resident Evil: Code Veronica."

    Red Dog is the best tank shooter the Dreamcast has seen so far in its brief existence, and hopefully it won't be the last.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An absolute blast to play.

    While most will find this game's story to be a little weaker than that of the superb "Colony Wars," the online play and solid mechanics make it a definite game to check out for fans.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Never quite unique enough to make me separate the words 'Diablo' and 'clone' from the back of my mind throughout most of the length of my adventure.

    An incredible football experience that is derived from a killer engine that's proven its gameplay worth in gold.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not the greatest 2D fighter on Dreamcast, "Marvel vs Capcom 2" and "Alpha 3" hold that crown but by all means this is another great Capcom fighter.

    One of the stunning differences between Bass Fishing and Marine Fishing is the beauty of the locations and fish.

    It shouldn't be missed by anyone that can still look over dated appearances and enjoy the thing that made these babies timeless: good ol' gameplay.
    • 79 Metascore

    Your mileage may vary, but this is one heck of an enjoyable game IF you're into competition more than racing, and into challenging one-player challenges than racing thrills.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's two-player mode still impresses, but the trump card of "No Exit" is the reckless abandon with which it embraces total vehicular manslaughter.
    • 73 Metascore

    Any Hawk fan that has yet to play any version should definitely check out this quality title.

    $40 is just a tad too high an entry fee for a GD-ROM that doesn't even let you compete head-to-head offline in Classic Tetris fashion. Would it have been that hard for Blue Planet Software to add such a simple mode?

    If you enjoyed "Virtua Cop" or "HOTD" in the past, and have $20 and a light gun to spare..."Confidential Mission" is your next trip down the videogame aisle. It's as simple as that.

    The guiltiest pleasure an individual sick-enough to be a member of the NRA can have locked inside a basement with a big screen TV and a stereo system cranking.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A commendation for a game which really shows the heart and soul from the movie made it to the game console.

    If you're a hardcore "KOF" or SNK fan from way back, or a newbie willing to lick your chops and get into countless beatings in the name of learning something deep and gratifying within the 2D fighting genre, give "KOF: Evolution" some serious consideration.

    Great mission structure, easy to learn gameplay and of course tons of classic WWII era planes to blow out of the sky.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    "Evil Dead: Hail to the King" and "The Ring: Terror's Realm" weren't anywhere near as fun and interesting as going through the predictable motions of a survival horror game that was designed FROM ITS INCEPTION to be replayable.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A universe of drifiting and cornering, accelerating and power-steering, peppy music and decent graphics that, while worth a visit from time to time via a rental ticket price, it's too unrewarding and punishing a formula for the hardest of the hardcore to plow the cash for.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It offers what other better-looking racers hint at, but have so far failed to deliver on Dreamcast: fast, playable and competitive head-to-head racing against four other players via online connectivity that seldom lags or gets disrupted.

    WWF Royal Rumble will appeal more to those who remember those great old arcade WWF games than the more recent offerings.

    If the length of this Review were to reflect the actual amount of time it takes to get through Charge 'N Blast in its entirety, it wouldn't be long-enough to fill a Wendy's work application form. Short length! Linearity!
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Slightly higher-than-average entertainment on Dreamcast, but only as high as it has to be and not an inch higher in quality or creativity.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun for all, and all for fun I say. A rental at least, and a reasonable buy for the family-friendly gamer with kids.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Let's hope that, if Lara just happens to be alive (care to bet?), her next Dreamcast adventure won't be handicapped by being shared with an inferior 32-bit system on its way out.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the few Titus-published franchises on DC (or any system) that's actually worth playing on gameplay attributes alone.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This will be Dreamcast's best baseball game ever, but it's just as flawed and full of imperfections as the line-up of PS2 contenders.
