58 CANNON SPIKE (Capcom, 2000)
A limited arcade shooter that's kinda like Smash TV with lots of action and fun gameplay, it just needs more substance.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 6
gameplay: 5

75 CAPCOM VS. SNK (Capcom, December 2000)
Featuring fighters from Street Fighter and Fatal Fury games. Nothing too new but still a great way to kill time.

graphics: 8
sound: 8
gameplay: 8

81 CHU CHU ROCKET (Sega, April 2000)
A very confusing game at first but it's still a fun one once you get the hang of it. Race to get the most mice in one escape rocket before the Cat(s) get em first. Can be very addictive in the multi-player modes.
For 1 to 4players
graphics: 4
sound: 6
gameplay: 9

86 CRAZY TAXI (Sega, 2000)
A original idea for a racing game and it's just fun to play.........period.

82 DEAD AND ALIVE 2 (Tecmo, 2000)
Excellent graphics with great tag team action, but it's gets kinda boring after awhile in one player modes. The female ninja Kusami is one HOT babe!

graphics: 10
sound: 8
gameplay: 7

38 ECW HARDCORE REVOLTUTION (Acclaim, 2000)
This is really Acclaim's WWF additube from 1999 but now it's under a different wrestling company few people know about. The gameplay is very chucky and the controls are out of date. Pick up No Mercy for the N64 instead of this piece of garbage.
For 1 to 4players
graphics: 6
sound: 5
gameplay: 6

NEW!!

92 GRANDIA II (UBI Soft, December 2000)
I really didn't like the first Grandia all that much but this sequel rocks!! The graphics are so smooth and the story really draws you in (it also has a more adult theme to it than the original Grandia). Another outstanding RPG on the Sega Dreamcast.
For 1player only

58 GIGAWING 2 (Capcom, 2001)
This shooting game is bound to be one of Capcom's last Dreamcast titles so I picked it up to see if it was any good. Unfortunarely, because the game is so hard, Capcom put in unlimited contiunes, which may not seem like a bad idea at first but when you finish the game in just a half hour after dying for the 50th time then you know somethings wrong.
Giga Wing 2 tries to be like one of my favorite shooters, Star Soldier Vanishing Earth on N64 (which I also written a opinion on), with it's cool reflective shields to counter attacks enemy bullets by sending them back or by collecting them for a stronger attack but the game is so unplayable because the screen is always filled with gun fire anyways and your shield has a 10second delay every time it's used so there is little point.
Giga Wing 2 isn't without some good points. Giga Wing 2 is one of the few four player shooters out there (I think there are some other ones in Japan but they are very few of them) If you have a friend or friends playing with you then the really doesn't seem all that hard although it's very easy to get confused especially when there are four of you on screen at once.
The games graphics look great with realistic backgrounds that are always changing. My only complaint is that the intermission scenes look unimpressive with just still pieces of artwork and there are no voices either during the dialogue.
The opera style music is very well orchestrated and fits the early 20th look just right plus it gets ya in the mood to shoot stuff. The sound effects do the job with loud explosions but they are nothing too special.
This game is alot better than the stupid Dreamcast shooter game GunBird2 because of the reflective shield option but if you remember horrible shooters like Battle Squadron for the Sega Genesis, you will know what Giga Wing 2 is all about. I would rent it but I wouldn't buy it.
For 1 to 4players
graphics: 8 ............ looks great!
sound: 8 ............. even sounds great.
gameplay: 5 ............ COME ON!! Give me a break!

26 GUNBIRD 2 (Capcom, 2000)
The virtually unplayable arcade shooter that's litters the screen with bullets that are impossible to avoid in the later levels. There are no shields and the story is very strange and will not appeal to anyone. "I'm sticking with Star Soldier, an actually good shooter".
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 6
sound: 5
gameplay: 3

75 HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 (Sega, 1999)
Perhaps the ultimate light gun game! Excellent 128-bit graphics.

NEW!!
82 HYDRO THUNDER (Midway, 1999)
A fast paced, action packed racing game of speed boating. Tons of short cuts and speed boosts are hidden thoughtout the 14different tracks to keep the game more interesting in the long run.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 8
sound: 5
gameplay: 8

NEW!!
84 JET GRIND RADIO (Sega, 2000)
HOLY &*#$! This game looks like real cartoon or something. Definitely a weird game of spray painting walls and avoiding the cops but it's very playable.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 10
sound: 8
gameplay: 7


72 KING OF THE FIGHTERS 1999 (SNK, 1999)

*Neo Geo Pocket DClink compatible
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 7
gameplay: 7

65 MARVEL VS. CAPCOM (Capcom, 1999)
Fast and crazy fighting action, that's too similar to the game Marvel vs. Street Fighter and all other VS. titles out there. Really wears thin after awhile and belongs in the arcades and not here on the Dreamcast.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 6
gameplay: 5

83 MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 (Capcom, 2000)
This great sequel has alot of cool secrets to unlock and over 50 different characters too. An excellent 2Dfighter.

74 NAMCO MUSEUM (Namco/Mass Media, 2000)
I was ready to give this game a average rating for not having the cool Museum modes from the Playstation titles and for only having 6games, but "I can't stop playing them!" I love all the games here (Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Pole Position, and Dig Dug) on this collection this time (no Toy Pop, Dragon Buster, or other crap from the past museums games) and now I can keep all my high scores saved in a VMU. A must for retro fans, because you can't go wrong with a good Namco game.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 5
sound: 5

62 PSYCHIC FORCE 2012 (Acclaim, 1999)

For 1 to 4players
graphics: 10
sound: 8

69 READY 2 RUMBLE (Midway, 1999)

For 1 or 2players
graphics: 8
sound: 8
gameplay: 7

72 RESIDENT EVIL: Code VERONICA (Capcom, 2000)
Awesome 128bit graphics with 4bit (remember Atari Combat) controls. RE fans will love it, but the analog control stick is really useless here and you're to use the digital pad.
For 1player only
graphics: 9
sound: 8
gameplay: 5

68 REVOLT (Acclaim, November 2000)
The computer is a little tough at times but its still a fun racing game with excellent graphics and fun tracks to race on. Reminds me of those classic RC Pro Am games from the NES.
For 1 to 4players
graphics: 8
sound: 5
gameplay: 9

76 SEGA GT (Sega, 2000)
It's almost like Gran Turismo for the DC, but it's a little too serious for its own good. Plain but smooth looking graphics.

47 SEGA SMASH PACK VOLUME 1 (Sega, 2001)
BEWARE!! Although you get twelve great classics on one GD-Rom disc, 10 of them are emulated, and rather poorly I might add. The emulated games are old Genesis/Mega Drive hits; Sonic the Hedgehog, Wrestle War, Streets of Rage 2, Revenge of Shinobi, VectorMan, Golden Axe, Columns, Phantasy Star II, and Shining Force. First in Golden Axe and Columns, the music is absolutely horrible and belongs on the Sega Master system. Second in the games like Wrestle War and Sonic the Hedgehog you can see tons of glitches like failed transparencies and choppier animation than their 16-bit counterparts. They REALLY SUCK!! Games like Phantasy Star II and Shining Force fair a little better but still have their problems too. Emulated games suck because they are suppose to be FREE and not $49.99!! Virtua Cop 2 and Sega Swirl are not emulated games here and work and sound great unlike the others. "Please!! RENT this first!!!"
For 1 or 4players
graphics: 3

86 SEGA SWIRL (Sega, 2000)
This one is soooo addictive!! Simply get rid of the multi-coloured Sega Swirls in large groups of the same colour to rack up big points. Get the free demo GDrom NOW!!
*online compatible*
For 1 to 4players
graphics:4
sound:7
gameplay:8

82 SHENMUE (Sega, 2000)
The much hyped Virtual Fighter RPG is finally out and it not without its problems; first the battles are too limited and game itself can be pretty boring at times. But it still looks amazing and the game is pretty huge. Plus the original Space Harrier is included in the game, how cool is that?!
For 1player only
graphics: 10 ......... I still haven't seen a PS2 game look this good yet.
sound: 9 .......... some bad voice acting here and there but all the people in the game can talk.
gameplay: 7 ........ needs more true RPG elements.

61 SILVER (2000)
A good adventure that lacks excitement in certain areas.

BEST DREAMCAST GAME!!
95 SKIES OF ARCADIA (Sega, November 2000)
Another great RPG by the masters of Sega. You're a young Blue Rogue Pitate on a quest for big money but you and your new friends find more trouble than loot. Very addictive 2 disc set!
For 1player only
graphics: 9
sound: 8
gameplay: 8

89 SONIC ADVENTURE (Sega, September 9 1999)
Odd camera angles ruin a almost perfect game with lots of features and characters. Very fast (maybe too fast at times) gameplay with excellent graphics and music.
For 1player only
graphics: 9
sound: 9
gameplay: 9

95 SOUL CALIBUR (Namco, September 9 1999)
One of the best Dreamcast game around, with a addictive Mission mode and superior life-like graphics.  Unfortunately the cool weapon select from Soul Blade, did not make it in this version and all characters speak mostly Japanese.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 10
sound: 8
gameplay: 9

60 SPACE CHANNEL 5 (Sega, 2000)
A basis but awesome looking dance game that is a little unforgiving on the button pressing. Good for the Parappa fans out there but it's not for anyone else.
For 1player only
graphics: 9
sound: 8
gameplay: 4

89 STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3 (Capcom, 2000)
Remember those annoying load times form the Playstation version? They're GONE! Plus Evil Ryu and Guile are already available so you don't need to unlock em this time. A must for any Street Fighter fan.
For 1 to 3players
graphics: 8
sound: 9
gameplay: 10


81 STREET FIGHTER III DOUBLE IMPACT (Capcom, 2000)
It's more Street Fighter, love it or hate it, but at least it still plays and looks great. Play both Street Fighter III: New Generation or the enchanced Street Fighter III: Second Impact on one disc. Zero load times and unbelievable animation! I love it!
For 1 or 2players

sound: 8
gameplay: 7

NEW!!
78 STREET FIGHTER III: Thrid Strike (Capcom, 2000)
Only after a few months we get another Street Fighter III game on Dreamcast but thankfully this game is also pretty good. 5 new characters join the original cast in a quest to stop an even more powerful Gill.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 9 ........ even better than SF III DI
gameplay: 8

68 SWORD OF THE BERZERK: GUTS OF RAGE (2000)
This game as almost more story than action half the time but it a fun hack n slack adventure. That little fairy is soo annoying!
For 1 player only
graphics: 8
sound: 7
gameplay: 6

31 TIME STALKERS (Sega, 2000)
A sorry acuse for a RPG. The characters designs look awful and the heroes lose their experience per dungeon. Very poor.
For 1player only
graphics: 6
sound: 6
gameplay: 1

69 TOKYO EXTREME BATTLE (September 9, 1999)
It's too confusing and there's only one track, good graphics though.
For 1player only

61 WWF ADDITUDE (Acclaim, November 15, 1999)
No different than the Playstation and N64versions, plus the WWF roster was really out dated then with Triple H wearing his old DX gear. Buy with caution.
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 6
gameplay: 5

51 WWF ROYAL RUMBLE (THQ, July 2000)
A simple arcade style wrestling game with basis mindless controls and shallow gameplay. NO create a player, NO career mode, NO Dudleys boyz, Too Cool, Radicalz's, and many more are not in this game. A bitter Disappointment.
For 1 to 4players
graphics: 8
sound: 6
gameplay: 3

NEW!!
77 ZOMBIE REVENGE (Sega, 2000)
Plays like a arcadey Resident Evil type of game and unlike the Resident Evil series (Onimusha, Dino Crisis too) this game has fairly good control. The game has a cool B movie look to it. Recommend!

December 1999
I finally rented the Sega Dreamcast the other day, it was payday and I had the weekend off so I thought 'why the heck not'!  I picked five games and the system for a mere 150dollars (100buck deposit) and tried it out for real this time (no more stupid demos machines).  First off, this new system connects easily just like the PS and N64, but uses different system inputs so the wires from the PS will not be compatible with the DC, no biggie.  After that was done, I popped in KOF 1999 (which is actually the 1998 edition, but it was year late) and it looked just like the arcade version.  It got kinda hard so I looked for the internet connection to see what that was like.  Sadly I couldn't find it so I popped it Marvel vs. Capcom instead.  Although it was a good arcade translation, it was nothing new.  I then found out that the modem didn't come with the system that BlockBuster gave me, which really sucks!  Another problem I ran into was when Sonic Adventure wouldn't load for me, and had to go back and get a new one.  After than was done I played Tokyo E.R., which was OK, but it felt too much like Ridge Racer for the PS.  I finally throw in the one I knew would be the best............. Soul Calibur.  Believe the hype!  This game looks like the real thing, with moving hair, muscles and real time cinemas, you'll be blown away.  It also as a Mission Battle which kept me playing all night trying to collect all the artworks, very addictive!.  It was tough to take it back after playing it, but it was even tougher to play may older systems like the PS and N64 after witnessing the power of Dreamcast.  So far, so good.
