It was a good game beforehand, but I do agree with you that it hasn't changed in graphics.

harrypmgaga5319d ago

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Josh_Squire! Hopefully you agree with the review - though I suspect a lot of people won't be.

Josh_Squire5319d ago

I doubt they will. After 11 years what have they done to the gameplay and graphic..absolutely nothing. I definitely won't be picking this up any time soon.

kieranmfilms5319d ago

As the writer of this review, I can understand the nostalgia effect in video games. But this game takes it to a new level. Nothing has changed. It cannot hold a candle to games of this generation. Just because something is old and nostalgic doesn't make it good. This has been proven with Crazy Taxi.

harrypmgaga5319d ago

Hopefully others will agree.

Josh_Squire5319d ago (Edited 5319d ago )

I really don't know how other companies have given this game a high rate. It's unbelievably bad controls and gameplay.

harrypmgaga5319d ago

Well reviews are subjective, and we do have to respect each and every one of them.

Baka-akaB5319d ago

well everything kinda changed . Not only Crazy taxi wasnt such a great title that it would remain timeless like a few others , but but removing the original soundtracks and censoring the ad , they removed any kind of feeling to the game , and at least half its fun .

ForROME5319d ago

This rehash has been getting crashing reviews, its a pass

harrypmgaga5319d ago

Indeed; it's mediocre at best, and the removal of key features like the original soundtrack and branding doesn't help. It just doesn't keep up.

JohnApocalypse5319d ago

Oh snap! I didn't think they could of fucked this up

Scott_Rogerson5317d ago

Seen some footage of this game on youtube... Im bored and i want to play if for lol's :P

Atlus coming in strong for Sega thankfully

What about the Yakuza series and Sonic?

_Decadent_Descent31d ago

I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

OtterX32d ago

I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.

Deeeeznuuuts31d ago

I've always said this, would much prefer SEGA, such a shame.

blacktiger31d ago

this was all part of the plan to give Microsoft the spot

chicken_in_the_corn31d ago

Would be interesting to see what they would do for a modern console.

Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.

Profchaos32d ago

Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.

Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.

I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.

Knightofelemia32d ago

I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
