i thought some of the racing/sport games looked pretty good......

MSR and nfl 2k2, but also 4x4 evo

but ikaruga is probably the best lookin game ive played.

nhl 2k2, SA2, Soul Calibour, Ikaruga, ecco, Matt Hofman's pro BMX. where good graphicly the last may not have pushed the system, but had rock solid framerate, and pretty good graphics, wonder if THPS 3 would have been tech. possible....

I think it definitely would have been possible since it was on the N64.

quite true, as I recall it was quite good, but that was dumbed down somewhat (not in gameplay), could the dc handled the ps2/pc/ect ver not the psx/n64 ver.

its not bad

its pretty damn good in fact it still leaves most current games on more powerful consoles for dead

exept the dreamcast could do way better

Rayman 2 and Metropolis Street Racer.

Shenmue II is probably the tops. Yeah, it slows down and people pop in and and out occassionally, but that's only because the game is doing so damn much all the time. It's very impressive. The Guilin disc is just excellent.

Ecco, too, as Lunchbox said. Absolutely beautiful. Too bad it's not a better game.

PSO is also really impressive, I think. Real lush textures with some nice effects here and there and everything is just rock solid.

Then, I'm not really sure what kind of techincial achievment it is, but no game is as as visually astounding as Rez, i don't think. It may "just be wireframe stuff," but it's really complicated and absolutely flawless in its execution.

A lot of the racers are also really nice. MSR and Tokyo Xtreme Racer have already been mentioned, but Ferrari F355 and Test Drive Le Mans are equally impressive, I think.

...word is bondage...

Yeah, Rayman 2 is nice... that, along with Loony Tunes Space Race, and Jet Grind/Set Radio are definatly the 3 games with the most "style"

yep, i loved the cell shaded gfx of jet grind radio, same with Sonic Shuffle (terrible game though)

Dreamcast allways to me seem to be sharper and nicer to look at plus you can use the vga box and get even better looking grafix.

Shenmue 2, and soul calibur, and somic advance 2, all top looking games that show what the dc could do.

Skynet · Post by **Skynet** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 10:28 pm

somic advance 2

i liked Sonic Adventure 2. but prob 2 of the most visually impressive games, IMO, are Shenmue 2 and Ecco. i dont care HOW long ago ecco came out, IT WAS AWESOME!

i wish my ecco disc didnt die

now i need to get another!

is it just me or? I dont think MSR graphics are near those of F355 Challenge

JuniorCrb · Post by **JuniorCrb** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 9:09 pm

MSR is so-so it terms of pushing the hardware to the absoulute max., but it has nice effects.

Ian Micheal · Post by **Ian Micheal** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 2:16 am

F355 Challenge has very good feel of speed better then the ps2 version . Dc controller suits it with the to triggers.

I dont think msr is as good as it.
