Summary

It's a shame that the Dreamcast isn't getting the attention that it deserves. I guess it's because the fact it doesn't have Mario, Pokemon, or the company name of SONY so people write it off without even thinking about it. This is truely one of the best systems ever made. It has everything for it. Forget Madden, NFL 2K1 is the best football game ever made. Unreal Tournament for the PS2? Ha, try on the Dreamcast where online mode is present. Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, Phantasy Star Online, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, NFL/NBA 2K1, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Space Channel 5, Soul Calibur, Quake 3: Arena, Unreal Tournament, Test Drive: Le Mans, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Typing of the Dead, Daytona USA, Metropolis Street Racer, Dead or Alive 2, Skies of Arcadia...not to include the newer titles coming out like World Series Baseball, NFL, NBA, NHL 2K2...Shenmue 2, Crazy Taxi 2, Sonic Adventure 2, Half Life, Soldier of Fortune, Jet Grind Radio 2, Phantasy Star Online Version 2...you get the picture.

Sound

Let's see -- if you put 64 sound channels with 2 megabytes dedicated to sound with a Yahama sound processor, all while up to 100mhz from the CPU -- (obviously not the CPU's highest, and obviously no game really uses this much, expect for some wacky import music games) -- is pumping away at mind-blowing effects, you're going to be slap-happy. Hook it up to a home entertainment-theatre, and you're going to become fried bacon. Yeha, it's that good. B) [smilyface with sunglasses]

Gameplay

Hmm, let's see. We've got Sonic Adventure 1/2, Shenmue, Phantasy Star Online, Crazy Taxi 1/2, NFL, NBA, Metropolis Street Racer, Skies of Arcadia (best game ever), Test Drive Le Mans, and so much more! I feel bad for not listing all of the games that I have or feel deserving attention. But, why should I need to, as you only need to go so far as to play almost any game off of the shelf of your store's Dreamcast section to realize how well the games are compared to any other in videogame history.

Sound

Sound is pure bliss. 64 channels, clear as a bell. It doesn't matter how crummy your TV's sound is. The sound is really good.

Here is the DC score sheet:

Worth the 100 bucks: Yes

Has all the things that a gamer enjoys: Yes

Breaks through and innovate the gaming world: Yes

Any buys?: Some, but they don't stand out

Enough, quality games: YES!

All I'm saying is that the DC is a wonderful buy, and it would be a shame to see such a great system be wasted and segregated.

Gameplay

The Dreamcast has wonderful gameplay. You'll get used to its really nice
controller and its buttons and positions. The DC controllers four button layout is
great, and its two triggers on the back fits well. The d-pad is comfortable, and
the joystick is positioned well too. The Dreamcast is remarkable in stats too. It
loads pretty fast and so do the games. It has a 200 mhz processor, which isn't so
fast compared to the other next gen consoles. So it is remarkable to see the DC
load faster than a PS2.
