Dreamcast in general Reviews

===INTRODUCTION=== The Sega Dreamcast was simply the latest and greatest video game technology out at the time of it's release, despite the Playstation 2 nearing the end of it's much hyped and highly anticipated development process. The Dreamcast still kept up and still held it's ground for the beginning stages, but when the likes of ...  Read the complete review

The dreamcast was a massively underrated console in my opinion, and can still be picked up in good condition on eBay for a cheap price like £30. You can't pay DVDs on it, but you can play Dreamcast games and Music CDs. The Dreamcast was the last console to be made by Sega who decided to give up making consoles and instead focus totally on the ...  Read the complete review

The Dreamcast was a console which came out to compete with the likes of the Nintendo and Sony. It was made with a good design and the controllers featured unique designs. The console look was very good but it became a failure after just a short while on the market. The console went down because the prices for the consoles were high. Not ...  Read the complete review

Even now, as a dead system, I would still recommend the Dreamcast. Sega's last hardware foray suffered due to the rise of casual gaming and Sega's chronic lack of advertising. It is, however, an excellent system with many excellent titles, in particular Shenmue and Shenmue II. You ought to be able to get one cheap now as everyone has ...  Read the complete review

The first of the big guns, the first next generation gaming system to be released. Too early I say. Due to this console SEGA were hit so badly financially that SEGA will never make another console ever again. So what went wrong here? The Dreamcast is not actually a bad console and in fact for the amount its worth now-a-days its a complete ...  Read the complete review

Why Have They Stopped??? I Want To Know Why They Stopped Making Dreamcasts!! I Mean I've Got A Dreamcast And I Think They Rule.There Is One Problem Though There Aren't Many Games. Some Of The Games Are Cool Such As Sonic Adventure + Sonic Adventure 2. It Would Be So Cool If There Were More Better Games For The ...  Read the complete review

In some wars, the Dreamcast surpasses other consoles. This is mainly because of the popular internet conection. However this model i not as picture perfect as it could be. The price of the Dreamcast plummeted very early on, just like at the rather disappointing release of the new console, the X-Box. The main problem wih the machine,though, was the ...  Read the complete review

Sega's Dreamcast has now departed from the console world with Sega left to rue what could (should?) have been and instead purely concentrate on churning out some high-quality titles for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's next-gen machines. The legacy that Sega have left with the Dreamcast I hope continues to be appreciated by gamers for a ...  Read the complete review

An all round brilliant Console! Is getting cheaper all the time. - Advantages: Great Graphics, Is stylish - Disadvantages: There arn't any!

Curse Sony. I have often wondered how their overrated, under perfoming console has been such a success. They seem to have a vastly superior publicity team who have managed to sell a vastly inferior console. Sega, on the other hand, concentrated far more on the actual performance of their hardware and software, and maybe naively did not back it up ...  Read the complete review

I had a vision of the future the other night. A sordid, twisted, nightmarish place, it was, where children and adults ritualistically and involuntarily slump down in front of TV screens, switch on their Microsoft X-Box Version 14.3's and, under the global orders of the all-powerful Overlord, Bill Gates, are forced to play Solitaire until their ...  Read the complete review

When you say 'Sega' to someone they will usually say one of two things. Sonic or Megadrive (Genesis for those americans). Not entirely surprising, Sonic is Sega's most well known character and the Megadrive it's best selling system. Unfortunately, Sega's fortunes (partly through their own stupidity) took a ...  Read the complete review

Right ok, we all know the Dreamcast is "dead"...and the PS2 is the best thing since sliced bread apparently...dont we? Well as all TRUE gamers know, the Dreamcast is the choice still no matter how far down in the ground it is to real gamers. Arcade perfect games etc etc is the claim made by both but how many A+++ titles can the ...  Read the complete review

an all round great console, which is cheap - Advantages: Cheap, Great Back Catalogue - Disadvantages: present lack of support

With the advent of the PS2 and the Xbox and Gamecube just around the corner, you may be asking yourself "Why should I buy a Dreamcast?". Well, to put it quite simply, because you'd be mad not to buy one with the drop in price that the machine has witnessed recently. For 99 nicker, you can get a Dreamcast and all the relevant ...  Read the complete review

If there was one console that has been sorely overlooked by the majority of gamers it has to be the dreamcast. With graphical capabilities matching that of the PS2 and a downright stupid price tag (£99.99 with 3 games) you have got to ask yourself "what is going on?" The reason behind this as most of you probably know is that Sega have ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I walked past a computer games shop called Game, and i saw an offer that i could not refuse - a Dreamcast plus a game for £70! This bargain seemed unbeliveable at first, but when one takes a look at the huge price tag of the playstation 2, which everyone is buying, is it any wonder that sega are so drastically reducing the price in order to get ...  Read the complete review

I picked up a DC for the same price as an N64 game, I love my N64 but I was fed up waiting for the Gamecube so I decided to get a Dreamcast in the meantime. So £45 it cost me with 3 games (Jet Set Radio, Zombie's Revenge and Trickstyle) for £15 and i must say i am not in the least dissapointed! Nice controller feels good a bit big but its ...  Read the complete review

I own a dreamcast myself, and I can honestly say that it is one of the most value for money consoles on the market today. Games can be picked up for £20 and under, and the graphics quality is astoundingly better than that of the playstation. As I also own a playstation, and I can say that the dreamcast is used significantly more than the ...  Read the complete review
