Drops the ball in pacing, rewarding gameplay, technical use of the system (read: LOADING) and even the storyline. It's still moderately fun, but the potential for a blockbuster new franchise is not evident.- DC Swirl

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

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.- DC Swirl

Much as "Final Fantasy 7" was the catalyst that launched the PS into the RPG world, Skies of Arcadia does the same for the Dreamcast and is truly a must have RPG for ANY RPG fan regardless of their system of choice.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

The Dreamcast is running on all cylinders with this one, a game that has awesome visuals- the best on the system, control smooth as silk and super realistic handling.- DC Swirl

Max Steel isn't bad, just insultingly average and unimaginative... as seen on TV every Saturday morning these days.- DC Swirl

The single player expierence still fails excite me as much as VC's NFL 2K1, but it is certainly improved.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

A supremely replayable action game that is fun, cool, relatively challenging, very edgy in tone (cops shooting at graffiti-spraying teenagers?) and very unique.- DC Swirl

Where's my "Medal of Honor" CD for PSX? I've got some bad leftover "Sarge's Heroes" taste that I want to wash out of my mouth with some Nazi-killing antics.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

The rock stars featured in this game might still be getting gratitude from female fans, but gamers that buy into "Psycho Circus" are getting screwed with a plain old snow job.- DC Swirl

If console Rally racing games were gatherings for S&M-catering aficionados (read: racing junkies), then Test Drive V-Rally for Dreamcast is the dominatrix to which you should gratefully submit yourself as its bitch of choice.- DC Swirl

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

Does too many things right... but unfortunately buries them underneath some pretty piss-poor flaws (crummy graphics, insane difficulty, awkward control, unrewarding non-existent learning curve, etc.).- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

Everything about the Dreamcast port of QIIIA came together supremely well at the end: graphics, ambient BGM, sound effects, control, lag-free internet frag-a-thons (most of the time anyway), everything!- DC Swirl

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

The real star of this game is the music, and SOA has wisely licensed a truckload of popular latin songs (or very good covers) that would liven up any party.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

With "Third Impact", the Cadillac model has been given new features (System Direction, five new characters, 'Grade Judge System', etc.) but has suffered a slight alteration to its flawless body (the washed-out colors and backgrounds on SOME of the stages).- DC Swirl

Fun for all, and all for fun I say. A rental at least, and a reasonable buy for the family-friendly gamer with kids.- DC Swirl

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.- DC Swirl

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!- DC Swirl

BLSC has one heck of a stiff control that makes turning around or moving Buzz more painful and unnecessarily cumbersome than it should.- DC Swirl

One of the best driving simulators ever made, effectively giving to the masses what until now has been the privilege of the racing elite or the very wealthy.- DC Swirl
