    Graphically, Spider-Man is quite impressive. Treyarch, the company behind all of Neversoft's Dreamcast conversions, has outdone itself on this title.

    Control and camera issues, and the strange stop-n-go gameplay that Illbleed sports may be too annoying to make people want to endure the game's six levels. If you can get past those problems, then you may find something that is actually pretty enjoyable.

    For somebody who doesn't play many shooters and is not "hardcore," I had a blast with Bangai-O... It does what it sets out to do very well.

    It picks up from where "Quake III Arena" left off in terms of AI, on-line capabilities, and graphics
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Daytona 2001 returns to the much truer arcade-style control, at the expense of that initial accessibility.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The game's attempts at arcade racing are very flawed, through poor level design which completely misses the scope for amazing "in your face" arcade levels, poor unrewarding game physics and also through badly implemented extra modes.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dreamcast owners looking for the "Diablo" experience on their console will have a good time with Record of Lodoss War.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a well done arcade shooter and the perfect game to toss in when you have some time to kill.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Much to my disappointment, Iron Aces turns out to be a really great idea dragged way the hell down by far too many bad design decisions.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    There is so much gameplay in this disk, that it would really be a shame to miss it.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The bottom line is that you must have this game. Even though it has a light story, even though it doesn't have much to offer solo players, PSO is a brilliant game--and what's more, it's a promise of amazing things to come in the Dreamcast's final days and in Sega's new future.

    If nothing else, Typing of the Dead is kooky, fun and inventive, and a worthwhile addition to any Dreamcast enthusiast’s library. Uh, provided you own one of those keyboards.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bizarre neglected to focus on polishing MSR's overall driving experience. Not that MSR is a bad game, but there are at least a few other Dreamcast racers I would have to recommend before it. "Test Drive: Le Mans," anyone?

    Vanishing Point remains a blazing fast, satisfying and addictive racing game. Unfortunately, before you can really enjoy it, you'll need to find a way to work around the trash AI.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A masterpiece of lazy design strapped onto a fantastic idea, this game uses its license to fool unsuspecting fans of Raimi's films, and of survival horror games in general, into thinking it might live up to its title.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The feeling of surfing has never been realized so well, and the game itself is just a joy to play. If you're interested in a change of pace, consider picking this one up.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The battle system surpasses that of any other RPG on the market, and you'll be going out of your way to hunt down innocent little monsters and deliver them to their final reward.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you missed out on RE2, are interested exactly how the storyline of Code Veronica came about, and don't mind the semi-dated graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a gripping adventure at a budget price.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Even with all its modes of play, a bad game is still a bad game, no matter how many servings it offers. Sno-Cross is simply a bad racing game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While I really enjoyed the combat engine, I can't play through Starlancer and not think that it's a mere shell of a game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This game features superb graphics, a great soundtrack, detailed environments, and good control. And while there are a few problems with enemy AI and cheap weaponry, there is still a lot of fun to be had with this title.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The game stunk. Bad graphics and terrible gameplay ruined a game with a cool license and awesome soundtrack.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The way Acclaim brought freestyle biking to a console is just awesome. While Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is not perfect, it has enough good aspects in it to overlook the little bad things.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a brilliant, well-executed game with a few nagging shortcomings that keep it from reaching its true potential.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I've never been a fan of vehicular combat titles, and this game hasn't changed my mind.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's fun and replayable -- what more could anyone want?
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It delivers everything which made the original Resident Evil so fantastic but on a bigger and grander scale. At a budget price, it's difficult to go wrong with this unless you already own it on PSX.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    You can look past the aged graphics, there is a great survival horror title here to be had.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Not only is the game lacking in innovation, but it's dragged way, way down by uneven and confusing mini games, far too many load-time interruptions and horrible, sophomoric music.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The most enjoyable RPG experience I've had in years.
