>>>> Games For July 2000
- Written by Tails
This month brings games of all kids to keep everyone busy during the
summer. From sports fans looking for a little tennis or baseball, to
kids who will enjoy Disney's kart racer, and adults who fancy a train
simulation (that by the way you can play over the modem). Even
Playstation owners have a reason to pick up a Dreamcast this month with
Bleem! Finally one game here gets a full 10/10 rating for anticipation,
which one will it be? We present the Games Of July 2000...
>>>> Virtua Tennis - Wednesday 12th
/- $39.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Sport
Be it rallying, and skate boarding, tr soccer, Sega's hand of arcade
style gameplay has touched a variety of sports around the world. Now
Sega are serving up Tennis, and they have created another instant
classic.
Virtua Tennis has been doing the rounds in arcades everywhere the past
few months, and finally this July it's coming home. Gamers who have
played the title already just can't help but rave about it's addictive
gameplay and jaw dropping graphics. Now with extra modes including a
4-player game, Virtua Tennis is certainly going to be big!
Just try the game once before you buy it, and if your hooked, bring
out the wallet and part with $39.99 to start a fun season of Virtua
Tennis in your own home. You won't regret it.
-- Anticipation 8/10
>>>> Demolition Racer - Wednesday 12th
/- $39.99
- Players: 1-2
/- Genre: Racing
Road Rage. The term certainly apply's to Infogrames latest Dreamcast
title, Demolition Racer. Speed around one of the games twelve tracks
at 60 frames per second and slam into as many opponent cars as possible.
You get the idea.
The game was released last year on both PC and Playstation, but the
Dreamcast version is certainly at the top. Adding weather, new tracks,
new cars, and several extra power-ups to the mix, drivers with a little
anger to work out of their system at the end of the day wouldn't go
wrong picking this title up.
Providing there aren't any major bugs that come up in reviews,
Demolition Racer is a solid looking game you can look forward to this
month.
-- Anticipation 7/10
>>>> Fur Fighters - Wednesday 12th
/- $49.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Shooting
While Nintendo gamers are kept happy with Golden Eye and Perfect Dark,
what are we Sega fans to do? Well while it certainly hasn't got the
realism of the former mentioned titles, Fur Fighters looks set to fit
the bill.
The game is coming from Bizarre Creations, the same company working on
Metropolis SR. As they have released more gameplay details and screens
over the past year, anticipation has rose for this wacky cartoon style
shooter. Now it's almost ready for release, and will this be the must-
own title everyone would love to see?
The latest play tests would answer with a clear yes. In the fashion as
Toy Commander delivered the goods and still holds up today as a great
multiplayer and single player experience, Fur Fighters has everything
to repeat that success. Key points for this title includes several game
modes, piles of single player missions, bonus mini-games, and six very
different characters.
Overall it looks like many a fun evening of shooting can be had with this
game, and unless the reviews bring up a sore point in the title, everyone
should take a look at Fur Fighters.
-- Anticipation: 9.5/10
>>>> Disney World Magical Racing Tour - Wednesday 12th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Racing
After watching the E3 video of this title, I can't say I'm all that
impressed. Like South Park Rally this is a kart-based racer, and again
like South Park Rally it's a great idea on paper, but just doesn't make
it as a hit in the end.
For some strange reason it's missing all the major Disney characters,
such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Instead Disney have taken their
less known characters such as Chip and Dale and put them behind the
wheel. Also the frame rate seems to have been mentioned in quite a
previews, which certainly isn't a good thing. Slow down is a common
problem, and this is a point worth checking with reviews before buying,
to see if Edios has fixed it.
But the game isn't without it's charm. 4 player split screen mode will
keep the kids happy, and 13 different cartoon courses provide plenty
of variety. So in the end the title is something younger gamers can look
out for, but for older games the $44.99 is probably better spent
elsewhere.
-- Anticipation: 6/10
>>>> Caesars Palace 2000 - Thursday 13th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Simulation
Not much could be found on this title, although the title is the latest
in Interplay's gambling series. Caesars Palace is the virtual casino,
including games such as Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Slots, Video Poker,
Mini-Baccarat, Keno, and Poker Challenge.
If you really enjoy Casino's, this is the only title on the Dreamcast
for you. But for most people however, the $50 is almost (almost?)
certainly better spent somewhere else.
-- Anticipation 3/10
>>>> Deep Fighter - Sunday 16th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1
/- Genre: Adventure
I have to admit Deep Fighter isn't a title I've kept up with so well.
The concept of an underwater adventure in a submarine just never really
got to me. Although now just before it's release as I look around at the
new screens and details... I find myself amazed at what Ubisoft have
produced here.
Each mission has clearly been thought about carefully and designed to be
as original as possible. Rather than simply churning out mission after
mission, you'll really look forward to what's next. It's that care
that's been put into the development of Deep Fighter than will hopefully
really show in the end, and make for one top notch game.
It would be a real shame for Deep Fighter to get lost in with all the
other top titles due out around the same time, so I urge readers to take
a look at this game, and if nothing else it might make a good title to
rent for a change of pace.
-- Anticipation: 7/10
>>>> Bleem! - Sunday 16th
/- $19.99
- Players: N/A
/- Genre: Emulation
If you haven't heard that the Playstation emulator, "Bleem!" is coming
to the Dreamcast... where have you been? Each Bleem Pack will let you
play 100 Playstation games on your Sega Dreamcast console, but also at
a high resolution and with improved graphical effects. The result can
be nothing short of amazing, giving games a very PS2 look, only without
the jaggies. Brilliant stuff, and on sale from the middle of this month.
-- Anticipation: 8/10
>>>> World Series Baseball 2K1 - Wednesday 19th
/- $49.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Sport
Think of the quality and graphics shown in NBA and NFL 2K, matched with
Sega's own arcade style gameplay, and you have a good idea what to
expect with World Series Baseball 2K1.
Don't take the arcade style gameplay the wrong way though, as if your
a fan of simulation style gaming, Sega have that base covered too.
Different weather effects, full season modes, the player names and 3D
models taken straight off their real life counterparts, along with
secret pitching over the VMU screen for multiplayer games. Got your
attention yet? Yes Sega have put their full effort into this one, and
if the stunning graphics don't blow you away, the deep gameplay will.
You have to see this game in action to witness it's full ball-park-
beauty, but be warned, after you do you won't want to leave your room
for the rest of the summer. So as you might expect, this title gets a
full 10/10 rating for anticipation!
-- Anticipation: 10/10
>>>> Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 - Wednesday 19th
/- $49.99
- Players: 1-2
/- Genre: Sport
The Dreamcast is the console of choice for racing fans, there's no
doubt about that. But Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing is hardly enough to
satisfy motorbike fans. Now Acclaim presents the V-Rally of dirt bike
racing with Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000.
Including 16 courses, a track editor, several different game modes, and
naturally a wide variety of bikes, Acclaim have put everything a good
racer should have into this title. But it's the extra mile they've gone
that could turn this into a classic. Motion captured bikers, official
sponsorship signs, a bike editor, and of course the input of Jeremy
McGrath himself on the control issues, all add to an already fine racer.
Put simply if you enjoy dirt bike racing, or want something different to
drive, Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 is the title for you.
-- Anticipation: 9/10
>>>> Mag Force Racing - Wednesday 19th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1-4
/- Genre: Racing
Mag Force Racing is the Dreamcast's answer to Wipeout. And while clones
aren't too often the type of games to get too excited about, this one
has already proved its self on PC (known as Killer Loop). To begin with
it has a sense of speed that could have those of us with a weaker
stomach feeling a little sick at first!
With 9 different tracks, a 4 player split screen mode, 22 TriPods (the
name for the games vehicles), and many hidden bonuses, you've got
every right to get excited about Mag Force Racing. If Star Wars Episode
1 Racer didn't satisfy your need for racing speed, and you envy those
playing Wipeout and F-Zero on their Playstations and N64s, this seems
to be the game you should be saving for.
Even though it hasn't received as much coverage in the press as Wacky
Racers for example, namely because it isn't the most original title in
the world, Mag Force Racing does look very promising.
-- Anticipation: 7/10
>>>> Hidden And Dangerous - Tuesday 25th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1
/- Genre: Action
If controlling secret agents in Rainbow Six wasn't exciting enough for
you, how about a group of four soldiers in World War II? After receiving
your mission and selecting your men from a wide variety of soldiers it's
off into a 128-bit 3D battle.
As you travel through the game you gain the option to take control of
vehicles, which provides plenty of incentive to finish each mission if
controlling men isn't your thing. The graphics are fairly impressive,
and make sure you actually feel as if your in WW2. Hence the game is
looking pretty good for adventure fans who enjoy titles like this.
-- Anticipation: 7/10
>>>> Railroad Tycoon 2 - Tuesday 25th
/- $44.99
- Players: 1-6 (Modem Play)
/- Genre: Simulation
This railroad simulation caused quite a stir back in 1998 when it was
released on PC, and now it's set to do the same on the Dreamcast. Packed
with new 3D graphics, extra scenarios, and most importantly modem play,
this is a game you shouldn't pass up because it's two years old.
Fans of Sim City and Theme Park will feel right at home here, in fact
Railroad Tycoon 2 is a mixture of the two former mentioned games. You
begin in the year 1800 and must work your way into the future, supplying
the public of your virtual country with a train service along the way.
There's a wide variety of counties to play in, ranging from the US to
China. But also 33 multiplayer levels give you lots to play with against
your mates. Don't let this title slip by un-noticed.

>>>> Welcome To The Fantasy Zone... Space Harrier II
More classic Sega gaming is set to make a come back. Space Harrier, the
1985 si-fi shooting game is soon to receive a sequel. Dubbed Planet
Harriers this is a true sequel (the Mega Drive 'Space Harrier 2'
doesn't really count), with a 2-player mode, and Sega Soft #4 as the
developers. This game is said by Sega Asia to be going on test in
selected Japanese arcades from tomorrow. Welcome back to the Fantasy
Zone!
>>>> A New Way To Play Games
Swapping games and trade-in's have previously been the best way to play
a wide variety of games without spending hundreds of dollars a month. But
now online game rentals, and an unlimited rentals program could change
all that. Red Octane (formally known as WebGameZone) pioneered this idea
on October 20th 1999, and since then it's taken off like faster than a
chu-chu-rocket. Adverts for their website are posted all over the net,
and this issue they kindly donated a free rental to all of our readers
to show you how it all works. You can pick up your free rental from:
http://redoctane.com/adux/freegamedreamcastweekly.html
After selecting a game to rent (they have more than 500 Dreamcast and
Playstation titles to choose from, including imports) the game is mailed
to you where you can play it for ten days. After the rental period is
up, you simply put the game into a pre-paid, pre-addressed mailer and
drop it back in the mailbox. Easy. As for pricing new Dreamcast titles
are $3.99, while regular rentals are priced at just $2.99.
But what this news item is about is their G3 Unlimited Game Rentals
Program. The service began on May 1st 2000 and offers gamers no due
dates, no late fee's, no shipping costs, and unlimited access to all
their games. You can keep up to three titles at once, and you pay $19.95
a month to stay a member of the program. This could quite literally
change the way we play. Just enjoy the games until your bored with them,
then return them and select some hot new titles to play.
Unfortunately Red Octane is only open to Americans at present, although
they are working on expanding their services. Their unlimited rentals
deal could be the next big thing, and here's hoping they bring it to New
Zealand too
In the meantime however Americans can check out more
information from their website:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>>> Bust-A-Move 4
The Bust-A-Move series is right up there with the likes of Tetris and
Columns for puzzle fans. Now the 4th installment has hit the Dreamcast
thanks to Club Acclaim, and everyone is in for some more bubble popping
fun.
As with every puzzle game it shouldn't be about the graphics, hence this
is a 2D game. The object being to point your arrow from the bottom of
the screen in the direction you wish to fire a bubble. The bubble will
stick in place when it hits another one, and if you get three or more
of the same color, they disappear. However it's not quite that simple,
as chain reactions, pulley systems, and special effect bubbles all add
to the gameplay, giving you a new challenge every time you play.
In fact there are so many levels, you won't have to worry about running
out of puzzles. But once you have finished the game with all 10
characters, you can design your own set of levels. Naturally these are
saved to the VMU, and if your friends have the game, you can swap
puzzles with each other.
Along with Arcade, Challenge, and VS games, the Story mode offers an,
erm... interesting, addition to the game. But I suppose there's a limit
to how you can write a story explaining why your forced to go through
level after level of popping bubbles. But the lively cartoon animation
and cutesy music does keep the game from ever getting boring. In fact
Bust-A-Move 4, in particular if you have a friend to play against, will
give you hours and hours of fun, and best of all it's a game you can
really come back to anytime for quick round.
However the game isn't without fault. The lack of a 4-player mode is
a mystery, given that the N64 version had it. It likely comes down to a
lack of effort by the programmers, which also would explain why the
voices still remain in Japanese.
Perhaps we'll see a 4-player mode, or even online play in Bust-A-Move 5.
Gamers who aren't sure about buying the game could possibly hold out
until then (although the game hasn't even been announced yet, we're
almost certain it will come), but for puzzle fans out there, as I said
this will provide hours upon hours of entertainment. - 8/10
