Video Game Reviews of Sega Dreamcast Console

Customer Review: Dreamcast is awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

For anyone wanting to know the history of the dreamcast I will tell you.

Utopia started it all with the Boot disc. Everyone remembers the spinning deer spinning for the first time like the first time they made love.
They released Dead or Alive 2 at the same time and shortly released Code veronica, soul calibur and some stupid racing game.

Shortly after Kalisto came to the scene and released alot of hot titles.

When the dreamcast first got cracked, a popular website named dcisos was created by ttol and hjinx. They were hated by the scene because of the founder "ttol" who famoulsy created a fake interview with utopia and talked to CNET about the cracked dreamcast.

Kalisto later became Echelon.

Echelon was the Dreamcast releasing juggernaut. They created small subgroups most notably NBC ( Natural Born Chillers, R18, and SA (StonerArts) for the purpose of making statements to other groups or websites. NBC famously attacked ttol and hyjinx.

Story of ttol can be found on the web.

The dreamcast world changed when Self boot method was created which phased out the use of a bootdisc. Pretty much making things burn and go. People were later able to apply self boot to games they already burned by ripping it back to there pc and adding some files to it.

Echelon and Kalisto changed the scene by giving us self boot and by making CDDA audio seperate from the game and unpackable after download making things faster for download.

Back in the day each day when you woke up there would be new Dreamcast games available for download it was a magical year.

Groups used the 56k modem to read games from the dreamcast, then once the broadbrand adapter came out it made releasing games much faster.

Customer Review: Dreamcast Still Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

I never owned a dreamcast until now, but i've wanted one for quite some time. It has such a great library of games. TONS of fighting games for fighting game fans. Awesome racing games, and crazy taxi. Fantastic Adventure games, and TONS of homebrew games that people are STILL releasing. It's a fantastic system that at the cheap price it's at make it a real steal.

Customer Review: A Teenager's Review
Summary: 5 Stars

Oh my god. That was when I first thought when I plugged in my new-used dreamcast about a year ago. Let me just start with saying that this is one of my favorite consoles EVER. It has so many absolutely amazing games that are still fun to this day. The controller is pretty cool, especially with the addition of the VMU (I love it that in 2k football you can pick plays on the VMU). It actually has 4 controller jacks, unlike the PS2, which is great. Plus, the console just has that great feel that game consoles should have.
Let's start with the games. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica, NFL 2k and 2K1, Crazy Taxi, Phantasy Star Online, Soulcaliber, and then some underappreciated games that no one knows about like Gundam Side Story. People say the games suck. They are just plain stupid. How can you deny the sheer awesomeness of these games, and more. The Dreamcast literally has a game for EVERYONE. If you like life-simulators, try Seaman. If graffiti is your thing, try Jet Grind Radio. The Dreamcast has more specialty games than any other console in history.
Lets go to the controller now. People say it sucks. I love it. First of all, they say it's to big. Why does that matter as long as it works, and it's comfortable. They also say it's bad because it doesn't have two analog sticks. People, the didn't have two analog sticks until late in the PS1's lifetime. It's not really a necessity. It does have two analog triggers (That the Xbox copied), and that's great. Plus, the Dreamcast controller has the VMU. No other console has that. It's an extra screen right in your controller. It even has it's own D-pad for minigames. And you can do extra functions on it like in NFL 2k games you can pick a play without you opponent knowing what it is. To bad you can't do that today.
When people complain about the Dreamcast, they usually say one thing, "Ummm... It just sucks." Wow. That is the stupidest complaunt ever. Most people can't think of a good complaint. They probably had one person who didn't like it, so they decided they didn't like it to. The Dreamcast is one of the best systems ever, and everyone I know who had it, still does today.
