1) Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2
SA1 is a better all round package, but the Sonic & Shadow speed levels on SA2 are superb - if only the whole game consisted of these.
2) Phantasy Star Online or Phantasy Star Online 2
I've never played either. Online they are supposed to be fantastic. Offline, probably not that good.
3) Powerstone or Powerstone 2
I've only played Ps1. Fun and action-packed. Great multiplayer. I suspect Ps2 is just as good.
4) Crazy Taxi or Crazy Taxi 2
CT1 is a pick-up-and-play classic.
CT2 has a more complex city design and is thus harder, but for the Crazy Taxi hardcore fan, CT2 is way better than the original.
5) Shenmue or Shenmue 2
Shenmue II is my favourite. The streets of Hong Kong are amazing, and the landscapes of the Kowloon are simply breath-taking.
Shenmue 1 is still great though. I just think Shenmue 2 shades it in scale and variety.

I don't have a Dreamcast YET, and some of these games are on my 'Wanted List'. Here's what i'd do anyway:
1) Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2
Personally, I wanna get both.
I've heard good things about both games, and that the first is the best one. To me, a Sega console just isn't comlete without a Sonic game - like the Nintendo console - Mario situation.
I also loved the first 3 Sonic games on the MegaDrive, and I reckon it'll be the same on the next-gen. spec'd Dremcast.
2) Phantasy Star Online or Phantasy Star Online 2
Although I like RPG's, I don't really wanna get either of these games.
I also believe there was a game called 'Fantasy Star' on the Mega Drive.
3) Powerstone or Powerstone 2
Don't really know a lot about them, but i've heard they're both good.
4) Crazy Taxi or Crazy Taxi 2
I wanna get both, as they are both different games.
I've never played Crazy Taxi, but i've heard brilliant things about it and I like the soundtrack to the first one.
I could just get it on the Cube, but then i'll have even less Dreamcast games, and i'm sure nothing beats the originals!
5) Shenmue or Shenmue 2
Again, only both for me. I love the look of these games and they are probably the best thing RPG to come from Sega. I also like how it's set in the real world rather than fantasy like in many others. But despite the fact that fantasy ones are brilliant, i'm sure these 2 games are no worse.

My voting:
1) Sonic Adventure - because I have simply been told it is the better game. I haev played a demo of both though and prefer Sonic Adventure 1.
2) Phantasy Star Online 2 - its only better if you dont have the original, cos many of the online bugs have been sorted out. Very similar to the original.
3) Powerstone - The original is to OTT! Takes away from the fun of the original
4) Crazy Taxi - I dont know why, but i jsut prefer the original!
5) Shenmue - Again, I prefer the original, it had a magical feel about it!
