Dreamcast (PC)

Released in 1999, the Sega Dreamcast was the next generation, a video game console developed in attempt to gain back market share which was lost due to the poor reception of the Sega Saturn. At the time, the Dreamcast not only offered an impressive selection of arcade hits but also new and innovative titles. Classics that come to mind include Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Tokyo Bus Guide. Undoubtedly Shenmue was an impressive game and still remains a classic, however despite what some may consider the Dreamcast to be under rated, there are perhaps a few reasons for its failure. Having played most of the top ...  Read the complete review

For all of you out there who are sceptical about the Dreamcast, and won't buy one simply because of how the Saturn turned out, then I urge you to actually consider further. Hopefully, by reading my opinion you will gain a greater knowledge about Dreamcast and how you should get one! Firstly, yes the Saturn did 'poorly' but they are still very popular with the 2nd hand market. 2ndly, the Dreamcast is a totally different machine to the Saturn and has sold more in its first year than the Saturn did in 4 years. So there are now 7.5million Dreamcast consoles sold throughout the world so far. This is a great sign, and it ...  Read the complete review

I will be the first to admit that I am and always have been an avid Sega supporter. I own almost every single system released by this company, from the 8-bit Master System to the 16-bit Genesis/Megadrive to the 32-bit Saturn and now the Dreamcast. Undoubtedly, the PS2 is a powerful beast when it comes to graphics, sound and speed. But here are some areas where the Dreamcast has the upper hand... GAMES DEVELOPMENT Make no mistake: the Dreamcast is no Saturn. The main complaint about the latter system was that it was incredibly hard to program for. There just too many complications and developers had to spend more money creating games for it than for its ...  Read the complete review

This review is about the console, The Sega Dreamcast. I will talk about everything roughly about the Dreamcast, and how useful it is. The Dreamcast is a small console, all white, it has 4 controller sockets. There are quite a few buttons that you can use, there is the switch on and off button, the reset button, and the eject button, which allows you to put your game disc in and out. There are loads of games for this console, but only a fair amount of them are good, like Sonic Adventure, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, these games are now on the Gamecube also. I own the first Sonic adventure on dreamcast and Gamecube, I only got it for Gamecube because ...  Read the complete review

Did anyone rush out and buy a GameCube or a Xbox? With the release of both machines recently, the console wars have entered another phase with everyone claiming to be the best in graphics and the games. They both have a huge mountain to climb though as the Playstation 2 from Sony is still the market leader with established fans. Hang on! What happened to Sega? Well sadly, they're out of the Games Console market now deciding to concentrate on the games software market instead. But what about the Dreamcast, I hear you say! The Dreamcast isn?t even that old of a machine considering its relatively short lifespan. It seemed like only the other month that it was ...  Read the complete review
