Advantages: Cheap, Fun, It is SEGA!

Disadvantages: Long loading, Noisy

The SEGA system and the last one at that the system that was crushed by Sony's console.

But just because the once mightest company lost to SONY doesn't mean they are worse in fact the Dreamcast is brilliance beyond repair. In the wait for the Gamecube I decided to get this but this is no stop gap to the Gamecube this is so much more. The new memory cards called VMU's are clever bringing Memory cards to the next generation, the console is small, compact and looks rather nifty. The controller despite looking big fits perfectly and with internet capablities out of the box this is a must have. But the consoles loading times can be slow although similar to the PS2's (Gamecube will change the face of loadign times) and the machine at times can makea load of noise.

But its games that is important and the Dreamcast has a catalogue of games that makes the Playstation 2 wimper. PS2's better offerings include Dead or Alive 2 and Resident Evil code veronica both avalible on the Dreamcast. Soul Calibur is officially the best beat 'em up ever. SEGA's own titles, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Phantasy Star Online 1 and 2, Shenmue 1 and 2, Jet Set Radio, MSR, Space Channel five and a whole host of other arcade classics make a nice appearence.

But why get a console that only has 5 or 6 title left to release? Because you can get one for £50 thats why and with games as low as a fiver what are you waiting for? The Gamecube wait may be boring then spruce it up get a Dreamcast and play on the last SEGA console ever and enjoy the finest games in the world before all Dreamcasts are gone forever...
