Virtua Tennis 2 (Dreamcast)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Sega

November 23, 2001
Virtua Tennis 2 vastly improves upon the original with much better graphics (I was reminded of this when I had to revert back to the original for a while after mis-placing my VT2 disc, a option for a sliced shot, a more realistic lop shot, and generally more fluid animation.

The obvious new feature is the addition of the female players, so this is great for females as well as males in that they can choose whatever sex they want to play as-not meaning to sound that females should only be restricted to females and vice versa.

There's the World Challenge tour, which is like a "campaign" in any other game, with no time limit. You design your player, height, skin, face, hair, etc and enter competitions. In an attempt to mimic ... Read More:

Quake III Arena

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Sega

December 08, 2000
It's hard. Very. VERY. Hard.

It's also not very fun on single player, and since it is no longer online, you can only play with friends on the multiplayer.

The controls can be customized and you will spend a lot of time fumbling around with them until you get a set-up that feels comfortable to you.

The graphics are pretty awesome and there is a huge array of weapons, characters and arenas (all of which are brilliantly detailed and pleasing to play in).

Unfortunately, however, not much more can really be said about this game. It's overrated and mediocre, and chances are you'll be disappointed. Spend your money on something else.

Silver

Well here's a turn up for the books... Finally a decent RPG created in england!

First, keep in mind that the budget was strung on this title to create a realistic 3D environment. The texure mapping is nice with some stunning visual effects thrown in.

The weapons options are great, adding to the total playable life of this wonderful game.

A definate 4-star game and one for the collection of all RPG fans!! NICE!

Headhunter

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Sega

November 16, 2001
this game really is brilliant. it is really, really well set, great cinematic action, and a great sterotypical lead charecter in jack wade. this game will draw comparisons with the metal gear solid games, but i think headhunter is a slightly different style of play. there is less sneaking about, its a more arnold swarchznegger (i cant spell his name :p) approach of play. the main winning point of this game is the ability to step round corners. sounds basic, but it enables you to hug the side of the wall for protection from enemy fire, then step round the corner and fire, then quickly duck round the wall again. this game really is great, it has an amazing soundtrack that really fits the game, the ability to ride a bad assed bike round (the bomb chase bit is one of my favourite ...

Blue Stinger

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Activision


I remeber this being previewed in the ODM magazine(and on some Dreamcast launch videos I had)and thought it looke like the sort of game I'd like,The Dreamcast being the first proper console I had.
It's a third person adventure set on an Island that was hit by a meteor leading to all forms of monsters etc..,you can play either Eliot or Dogs,alternating as you like,each having their own pros and cons,Dogs can use heavier weapons and his fists for example.
The graphics were impressive at the time,Hi-res and detailed,the camera is awful but consistently so,meaning you get used to it's eccentricities and compensate,the controls are twitchy sometimes,especially when you need to traverse some pipes in a broken floor but the guns have auto-aim and it's obviously quite hard to miss ...

Ferrari 355 Challenge: Passione Rossa (Dreamcast)

from: Acclaim

October 20, 2000
very, very, very hard to master.

i played the suzuka curcuit for about 4 days non stop.. just practising and practising and practising, getting very frustrated, but one day-the race clicked perfectly... came 1st...
the feeling of achievement and wow factor at doing it is one of the best ive ever felt in a game.

steer clear if you dont have a patience for try and try again type of games, love it if your a racing purist. people sit and watch me play this game and start chipping in comments and suggestions to help me race.

a great game, steep lurning curve

Jet Set Radio

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Sega

November 24, 2000
Jet set radio oozes style, from the first moment you load the game up you will notes the games unique cell shaded look (jet set radio was the first game to use cell shaded graphics, of course it has been copied many times in games such as Zelda and viewtiful Joe) the game looks just like a cartoon and the cartoon look fits the game so well.

The whole idea of jet set radio is to skate around a area tagging walls sounds easy right? Well Sega have chucked in a load of police that really don’t like taggers. The first levels will start off easy you can easily out run the police as they are on foot but soon they will start sending in helicopters, dog’s, tanks and hit squads and you will have to plan how you are going to get around them and plan what walls you are going ...

Sega Rally 2

I bought this as a relase title, my god what a dissapointment! The arcade game was f-ing great, the Dreamcast was more than capable of a straight port yet it poor, hurried and rather bad. Though as a fan of the SR series it was enjoyable and playable.

House Of The Dead 2 (Dreamcast)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Dreamcast
from: Sega


Ok so the Original Mode doesnt take long to complete but I love doing it over and over again gradually getting to Rank 1 (1400 more points to go!) The other modes are ok such as Boss mode and Training Mode the only downside really about this game is that you need the Gun it just isnt good without it!
