    if you're looking for an accurate match-up between the two companies, forget it. For the rest of us though, Capcom just delivers some good, old-school 2-D fighting action, and we all need some of that.

    With it's innovative full 24-hour racing mode, beautiful graphics, solid control, and tons of details, Le Mans finds itself in the company of the finest racers gamers have ever seen.

    I loved Shenmue. But as great as I thought that game was, nothing could have prepared me for Shenmue II.

    From the second you turn on your Dreamcast, you'll realize you're stepping into a game world like no other, and you may never want to leave.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Despite the niggling flaws (mostly carried over from the PC version), Quake III Arena is a first-rate title for the Dreamcast, and probably the best PC-to-console FPS port yet.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a must-have if you bust your Dreamcast out at parties, but not a must-have for everyone's collection.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has its glorious moments and it has its "what the hell were they thinking" moments.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The result is something that comes close to being a masterpiece for its uniqueness within the racing genre and the sheer fun of its gameplay.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The variety of ways to progress in the game should keep them glued to the set. But be warned: there's very little here for us older gamers.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    I feel that in spite of the few omissions, with its incredibly tight control, beautiful graphics, and excellent multiplayer modes, F355 Challenge takes the crown for best Dreamcast racer yet, and is a strong contender for best sim racer of all time!
    • 53 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Creative abortion.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With UFC, I experienced a sub-par game with great graphics and a main menu that you get to see a whole lot of.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The graphics and depth are sure to please even the most critical racing fan.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some real challenges and interesting missions here for those of you who are console flight sim enthusiasts (yes, all three of you).
    • 87 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It doesn't completely live up to its predecessor in all areas (ease of play, final boss), but in others (arena design, Adventure Mode) it's actually better.

    D2
    Although D2 is as stylish as other Warp titles have proven to be, it just isn't any fun. A myriad of other complaints make this a rental, at best.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A game that will torture you with terribile acting, when it isn't putting you to sleep.
    • 84 Metascore

    If you persist and have the time to learn Ecco's massive levels, however, you'll find it immensely rewarding, especially once you reach Atlantis itself.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    You simply need to keep giving Seaman a few minutes of your time each day, and you'll be rewarded with a freak show the likes of which you've never seen.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Not an awful game. It just isn't a good game. It isn't anything. It feels like it happened by accident (an artist tripped and accidentally made a McGrath model).
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A mediocre effort and use of the license. With only 22 wrestlers and subpar graphics and gameplay, the game should only appeal to desperate Dreamcast owners.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great game whose worst flaw is that it's dumbed down just a bit too much for its own good.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A phenomenal game. The controls are easy to learn but offer enough depth to satisfy the most hard-core sports gamer. Graphically, the game is stunning.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    One incredibly lame game. When it isn't busy being ugly or hard to control, it seems to take great joy in killing you without allowing you the chance to first defend yourself.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The variety of ways to progress in the game should keep them glued to the set. But be warned: there's very little here for us older gamers.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's going to be a long time until Capcom, or anyone else, manages to top it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Street Fighter series continues to offer a depth of play that allows masters of the game to truly be masters. Anyone who considers themselves a fighting game fan should own this title.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A quality puzzle game with lots of replayability, tons of gameplay modes, and a nifty theme that's great for kids and adults alike.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    ZR will just drive you nuts. Satisfaction, it seems, goes to the quick, not the dead.
    • 98 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The graphics, particularly the character models and animation, are stunning. The fighting is both strategic and intense, fun to watch and fun to play.
