Space Channel 5 (DC)

"It's the 25th Century, and Earth is in a state of crisis - an alien race (the Morolians) have launched an invasion against Earth, randomly shooting victims with a mysterious ray gun. The effect of the ray is rather unusual, as it forces people to dance uncontrollably, and enslaves them to alien rhythms..." Space Channel 5 is a prime example of what makes the dreamcast such a great platform - another original, slightly off-beat, well-presented, and (most importantly of all) downright FUN game. You play as "Ulala", a sassy 23rd Century news reporter for "space channel 5" who is despatched to report on the Morolian invasion. The ...  Read the complete review

Heh, hope the title confused plenty! In case you hadn't realised, this game has nothing to do with devils or cats. The real subject of the game is much more strange... When most people think of a dancing game, they usually think of the awful Spice World for the PSX. And yes, Spice World was a bad game. No, in fact it was terrible.

And the name of this wonderful game? Look at the title you dunce! When it comes down to it, Space Channel 5 is a basically game set in the 25th century, ...  Read the complete review

Developed by legendary producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi who also produced Sega Rally and Sega Rally 2 this new game seems to be a radical departure from his original racing roots. This is not to say the game is no good. In fact that could not be further from the truth.......

To free the humans you as the feisty Ulala must attempt to outdance them. Whereas both Sega Rally 1 and 2 redefined the racing genre Space Channel 5 also redefines the music genre (if one exists).

The game Space Channel 5 is a very original and quirky title, which offers you to have the most fun you've ever had because it's just so stylish! You'll be dancing in no time to the groovy tunes in the game, and I'm sure you won't even care if you look like a right idiot because it is so much fun! The idea is to dance in time with some music by copying these aliens' moves by pressing various buttons. Why? Well of course there has to be a reason, and strangely the reason is that you have to get your Television Channel Ratings higher! How well you dance determines how many people tune in to your show! The game is so funny and ...  Read the complete review

We’ve all seen the dancing games such as ‘Bust-A-Groove’ and ‘Dance Dance Euromix’. In a way, they’re somewhat limited towards Space Channel 5, as in they really haven’t got a strong story mode.

You play the intrepid reporter called Ulala, who works for SC5, and while waiting in the local ...  Read the complete review
