Have you played any SEGA games today or very recently that you'd like to comment on??
Was it on the Dreamcast, the MegaDrive, GameCube, or are you one of those very few who actually own a SEGA Saturn??
Or have you had a good-ol' time with SEGA in the Arcades maybe?
Whatever SEGA game you've played, whatever SEGA format it's on, just name it here - and add wether or not you enjoyed it.

Yesterday I was working through Sega GT. It's the first time I've had a really long session with it, and just discovered that as well as time trials and normal races, there's drag racing in there too which is good fun :).
Getting hold of the works cars in Licence mode is particularly difficult, so that's a challenge for later, I've started with a secondhand Beat car and found that by doing the easy sponsored races at the start (MacDonalds, Excite and Penzoil), you get extra bonus money from them everytime you win a race thereafter, which makes gaining more cars much easier than in the Gran Turismo series.
I also had a bash on Urban Chaos, which has to be the most glitchy game ever produced on the Dreamcast. The slowdown is so bad that it makes the game unplayable. I'll configure the controller next time I try it, because trying to pull off a triplekick combo using a trigger button is practically impossible.
I've got an itching now to play Speed Devils, possibly the most 'fun' racer in ages, the music itself makes the game worth playing, because it fits the mood perfectly for each track. Again this game suffers from the odd bug (some of the challenges are flawed, for example you bet an opponent that you can beat him in a particular race, but on a reverse track it tells you you've failed as soon as you've started, very annoying). Or maybe I just read the bet wrong, but I don't think so.
Other gaming goodness on the DC that I've got to get around to playing again includes Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2, Ready 2 Rumble (funny game, makes me laugh), and of course the mighty Sega Bass Fishing, the thinking vegetable's alternative to golfing games.
And the funny thing is, you can't tell if you're playing on a DC or a PS2 after a while, because the graphics still look great on both consoles.

My best scores on Crazy Taxi are (approx):
Arcade City: $63,000
Original City: $88,000
Can't wait for CT3.

Crazy Taxi again for me last night.
Love this game! :)
In 10 minutes I managed to earn around $4,500,000 and got an A ranking.
Still, I can finnish no higher than 21st when playing by the Arcade rules.
I also need to work on my turning of corner in MSR.
I keep on losing WAY too many Kudos by smacking into the sides! :S

I played Crazy Taxi 2 round Nomad's house and got $52,000 on Small Apple. Took over an hour. Oh I am a master.

CD4 might have been a bit actionless, but I thought it was truly beautiful - amazing natural landscapes. And when Shenhua led Ryo to the field where the flower buds were blown all around I had a tear in my eye.... well, not quite, but you know what I mean.
Anyway, today I've blasted through area 5 on Rez (awesome) and played a couple of high-score time trials on JSR.
I've also played JSRF on Xbox, but I'm not supposed to mention that. :)

I have said it before, and I will say it again; Shenmue rules. The feeling you get when you play the game that makes you feel like you are part of something special. It is continued in Shenmue II, but CD 4 of Shenmue II is the biggest let down, especially after the fantastic CD3.
I hope you realise the greatness of Shenmue and search out the sequel, because you won't regret it.

I got my Dreamcast today. :D
I've been playing Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, and MSR (aswell as some Demo Disc games) for most of this rainy-old day since about 9:30 this morning.
I love all these games - especially Crazy Taxi and Shenmue.
It's a shame that my Shenmue CD1 is damaged, so i'll have to send the CD back though. :(
I can't put Crazy Taxi down though - love that game! :D
