    Seaman
    Even now after two weeks with the fella I feel great joy and look forward to each morning to see what will happen next.

    Project Justice
    It's an OK game, but I cannot help but feel that a Bleemcast-enhanced version of the PSX "Rival Schools" CD spinning on my Dreamcast would look different-enough for most gamers to notice.

    Capcom vs. SNK
    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.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Fur Fighters
    Do yourself a favor and definitely check out these furry fighters as they prove that cuteness can be deadly.

    Spider-Man
    It isn't perfect or fully taking advantage of the power of DC, but "Spider-Man" is a single-player action adventure no self-professed fan of the character can afford to miss.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Vanishing Point
    I think it's the second best DC racing game released this year (behind the internet-friendly "Daytona USA" and ahead of the overhyped "MSR").
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2
    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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bust-A-Move 4
    As far as graphics and music go, "Bust a Move 4" looks and sounds the nicest of any previous games.
    • 79 Metascore

    Sega Marine Fishing
    One of the stunning differences between Bass Fishing and Marine Fishing is the beauty of the locations and fish.
    • 79 Metascore

    Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
    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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Worms World Party
    One of the few Titus-published franchises on DC (or any system) that's actually worth playing on gameplay attributes alone.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    StarLancer
    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.

    NFL Blitz 2001
    You can even taunt your opponents more than ever with moves like putting your shoe in his face as if you're going to squash him while he lays ragged on the ground.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NCAA College Football 2K2
    An incredible football experience that is derived from a killer engine that's proven its gameplay worth in gold.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Mars Matrix
    Plenty of depth if that's all you're looking for, but it's weighed down by an engine that would have been deemed outdated several years ago.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Demolition Racer: No Exit
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Resident Evil 2
    "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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Record of Lodoss War
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Speed Devils Online Racing
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear
    Not much has changed from the prequel though, since "Rogue Spear's" gameplay is still a tougher-than-your-Grandma's-veracose-veins cookie to swallow.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge
    Fun for all, and all for fun I say. A rental at least, and a reasonable buy for the family-friendly gamer with kids.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dino Crisis
    Regina is one tough chick (a poster girl for the fictitious 'EuroAsia' of videogame and anime lore), but doesn't have the 'deer caught in the headlight' charm of Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    AeroWings 2: Air Strike
    Rent it, because it deserves at least that but only the truly hardcore aces should even consider the purchase.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    4x4 Evolution
    If that sounds like your wettest 4WD dream come true, suit yourself. Me? Oh, I have "Smuggler's Run" for PS2, thank you very much. I'll pass.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Red Dog: Superior Firepower
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Cannon Spike
    Unlike most shooters this is a game anyone can play without fear of going red-eye enraged with frustration.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
    Any Hawk fan that has yet to play any version should definitely check out this quality title.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Outtrigger
    It's months late, and unless you have a broadband adapter there realistically isn't a reason to play this game. "Quake 3" and "UT" did it better and that's my final stance.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
    If it weren't for the extra $10 you have to pay for the privilege and the Sega/Dreamcast boot-up sequence, there's no way you would know that this is a DC game from looking at it on a TV screen without the PSX version nearby for comparison.
