Which game to buy?

VillageIdiot · Post by **VillageIdiot** » Mon Feb 03, 2003 11:07 pm

Well, I bought myself a Dreamcast on the weekend, and I also bought two games, Sega GT and Spirit of Speed 1937. Now, I'm kinda getting bored with Sega GT, I find it a bit tedious really, and I'm thinking about selling it or something and buying another game. I'm looking at a few different games right now, Test Drive Lemans, V-rally, Virtua Tennis, and PSO. I've played Virtua Tennis before, but the other games I've had no experience with. Can anyone recommend a good game?

Tennis 2K2 is better than Virtua Tennis... and PSO owns.

Give Sega GT a bit more time! It's arguably the most underappreciated DC game. I guess it's because people were expecting Gran Turismo, but it's a different kind of game. Once you learn how to mod your cars, you'll start making a lot of progress, and a lot of fun experimenting with mods and making your own cars.

As for Le Mans, get it, it's a great game, it's arcade-like, with great graphics and a nice difficulty option, to tweak the game to your tastes (sim or arcade). Same goes for V-Rally.

Virtua Tennis has beautiful graphics, while Tennis 2K2 has a much improved animation and AI system. Virtua Tennis is a lot more simple, and it looks a bit primitive when compared to Tennis 2K2, but it still has some of the best graphics seen on the DC.

If you buy PSO without thinking about going online, you'll be disappointed. PSO offline gets old FAST. There's no story, just a lot of First-Person monster bashing. Online gameplay was only good at first, before cheaters ruined the whole experience. It's still worth it for the sake of completion, and for the beautiful graphics and environment.

If you want another great game with great graphics and addictive gameplay, get Jet Grind Radio, for starters.

Dead or Alive 2 and Crazy Taxi are worth getting because they just sum up the Dreamcast for me... fun and arcadey as anything!

Soul Calibur is definitely a fighter I would recommend as well as Dead or Alive 2. I have played SC for about 6 hours the past 2 days, and I have yet to unlock all of the goodies. PSO is a great game offline or online. Ofcourse, there isn't a lot of story offline, but I have put over 100 hours offline just trying to make some crazy money and get some rare weapons. It is a repetitive game, but it is one that is hard to put down just because it is so addictive. The graphics are great, the music is wonderful, and it is action packed. I had to force myself to put it down because I still had (and still have) a lot of games that have been sitting on the shelf and gathering dust because PSO has hoarded so much time.

The titles you have mentioned so far are great titles, and there are many more out there that are fun as well as inexpensive.

Happy game hunting.

Kinda off topic, but is the Sega GT on Xbox basically a direct port of the DC version, or is it a sequel or remake?

Yeah, Sega GT is very good but you need to persevere with it. What about Ferrari F355 - if you like driving games this is THE best on the DC.

first of all, if you have Snes games - burn DreamSNES
then, definately go grab PSO like freaking everyone mentioned above and don't forget Unreal Tournament if you can find it. It takes a while to get used to the controls if you play Halo or Timesplitters a lot, but it really shines online!

(BTW, hope you have an ISP that works...)

I thought everything about Sega GT on Xbox was subpar. Graphics looked about Dreamcast level, Control was bad, and the tracks just seemed dull.

Sonic Adventure 1&2

PSO

Rayman 2

Ecco the Dolphin

Crazy Taxi 1&2

These are my favorites. They also happen to be the only ones I've played.
