Perfect Dark
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Golden Eye
Golden Eye was hailed as the 'best game ever' by the gaming press, LOZ:MM comes highly recommended by most of the Nintendo gamers I know, and Perfect Dark's action appeals to me.
So, "What is you most wanted game from a 'rival' console?"
Wasn't Shelflife the sequel to Halflife? Or was that Parklife?
Me, I'm happy with my DC at the moment. I've got quite a few games that I'm playing through and the fun never seems to stop. I don't know why, but the Dreamcast just stood out as my favorite console. Obviously, something else will come along sooner or later, and I'm not adverse to getting my hands on a nice PS2 as well.....just as soon as I can convince the wife to let me part with £299!

Good games both of them. RE2 is coming to the DC soon.
How do you play games that are still on a shelf?
Shenmue
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Soul Caliber
House of the Dead 2
Quake III
Phantasy Star Online
Ild like to get a PS2 to play
Tekken Tag Tournament
SSX
But thats not going to happen unless I win the lottery or the Dreamcast drops in price to £30 or something stupid!
well... hate to spoil things but RE CV is out, RE2 is out and RE 3 is out all on DC.
I'd say that the only game I would have liked to have played would be GT3, but then it isn't out yet so I don't care. Also, Pokemon intrigued me a tad!
I think Shenmue is absolutely fantastic, I've been sparring all afternoon (the ingame afternoon) with Fukusan, and I managed to throw him a few times! There is NOTHING that can compare with this 'game'. In my view at least. It's just a really great thing that more people have been getting Dreamcast now that it's cheaper (it isn't dead!!! Just not in production no more), as they will all be getting Shenmue!
I am confident that PSO will be another PS2 owner 'most wanted', but sorry guys - you picked the wrong format!
Anywho, the PS2 will have a great racing game in GT3, but as FM rightly states, MSR is superb.
Why am I up at this hour? Shenmue!!
As for the DC. I'll be buying one soon. It's cheap now it's dead and the games are still great!
My verdict : a bargin!
The only resemblance to an RPG is the exploration that takes place.
This is more of a detective beat 'em up.
If you want to see the best graphics ever produced for a DC, though, then get it for sure, it looks great. I prefer Metropolis Street Racer for playability though.
