    I can see its depth and replayability, but it'll be a cold day in the Florida Peninsual before you see me pick "H&D" for rent anytime soon. It's not my cup of tea.

    Too short and unpolished, but a hell of a way for Capcom to leave the genre on a high note in a dead system clamoring for more of them.

    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.

    I can also recognize a niche quality product when I see and play one (even if I don't particularly like it), and Coaster Works is definitely a unique-enough title to be worth the attention of the few fanatics that will love every minute of the design process.

    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.

    More of the same delicious cake but with new frosting.

    If you're too upset to talk with your "Seaman", and the difficulty in "Ecco" has gotten the most of you (FAQ's are a stuck gamer's best friend), Ubi Soft's "Deep Fighter" is a more than worthy alternative.

    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."

    The biggest flaw with the game is it's insane difficulty. We're talking "MDK 2" like difficulty. So bad it will have you either frustrated before you can get past the first mode or so mad at the cheating AI that you'll stop playing after a few races.

    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.

    The real problem with the game is not the online elements but the design itself.

    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!

    A commendation for a game which really shows the heart and soul from the movie made it to the game console.

    Great mission structure, easy to learn gameplay and of course tons of classic WWII era planes to blow out of the sky.

    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.

    $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?

    An absolute blast to play.

    I suggest gamers shortchange Sega by spending only $3.99 to rent this miniscule title that will only be enjoyable truly for a weekend or so of fun.

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

    Only recommended on DC for those who are willing to put up with its mediocre look or who must keep the little one in the family from holding his/her breath until he/she gets it. Life's a bitch when you're a parent, isn't it?

    NBA Hoopz smacks you in the face and dares you not to have a blast playing it with some friends.

    Super Runabaout would benefit tremendously if it were offered at a much lower price than its $40-45 asking price.

    With a few friends and some beers it's a good-enough time not to notice how lacking in replayability and long-term enjoyment the thing is.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Too short, too hard and not packed with the replayable goodies one expects a home port to deliver these days.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Control, using regular controllers for the respective systems in the absence of lightgun support, slightly favors the PS2's Dual Shock 2 due to analog/d-pad handling that FEELS a tad more precise than with the DC's stock controller.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's too short and unchallenging for the current asking price of $40 but, with time, it (as well as most of the DC line-up) will go down in price (and becomes an enticing secondary purchase).
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ultimately a disappointment.

    If you truly love snowmobiles and racing then you can't go wrong with the Dreamcast version as it truly is the best of the bunch.
    • 61 Metascore

    You'd think KCEO Japan would start the new millennium with better control schemes than the one's they pioneered seventeen years ago, but NOOOOOOOOO!
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A weird hybrid product that is guaranteed to please some and alienate lots more.
