Tokyo Xtreme Racer (Dreamcast)
The 6th gen is in
The Good
The game is just simply amazing. Mission based driving games are always fun and this is also a strait up import game with a bunch of cars and a nice sense of speed. The graphics are just beautiful; think about it, This game came out a year after R4 and a year before Midnight Club and it looks better than both of them. The best part is you can drive around all you want before you get into a race instead of going trough menu after menu picking out a rival.
The Bad
There really isn't to much a hate about this game. I guess if you don't like instrumental music than you might not be fond of the Techno/Rock soundtrack that is in the background. I guess the only real complaint is have is the lack of a reverse button, but I don't think you would need it to much.
The Bottom Line
To think something this good came out back when the PS1 was the most popular system. People looking at this back then must have just been amazed. If you enjoy games like Ridge Racer, Need for Speed, Driver, and Burnout, then you should love this classic.

Grand Theft Auto 2 (Dreamcast)
If Only The New Ones Could Have Been This Good
The Good
The Entire Feel of the game is cool, violent, and mature (well, somewhat). The Music is simply awesome with perfect timing. The weapons are fun and different from a normal game. The controls are generally solid. The cities are huge with really nice looking buildings and streets. The Cops have good AI, There not to tough nor are they easy.
The Bad
The View you could say is outdated (epically since its on a 6th gen console). I'm fine with the "tank" movement, but a full 3D behind the back view would have been nice. The lack of a map makes it pretty difficult to find the phone, so your gonna do a lot of walking.
The Bottom Line
Overall, this is one of the coolest games you'll ever find. Despite its view, its still a cool looking game that doesn't seem to disappoint.
