Re-Volt - Dreamcast

Choose a remote control car from a set of boxes like the ones in your local toy store, and off you go in this fun racing game. You can race against human or computer opponents in a series of challenging races, or you can go for the even more fun two player option - the best of which is a tag game where each player starts off in a different part of the same level. You then have to both hunt for the 'tag' and grab it by driving over it. Then the clock starts to count. Once you have maintained possession of the 'tag' for two minutes, you win the round. Hitting, or even passing extremely close to an opponent changes possession of the 'tag'.

Sounds simple, and it is, but it's also fiendishly addictive. Throw in a few weapons for good measure, and before you know it, you'll have been playing for hours.

The racing games are fun, but pale in significance next to the Battle Tag mode.

Additional playability is given by the easy-to-use, and flexible, track editor that lets you create your own levels. There are plenty of well designed tracks as standard for you to race before you need to rely on the editor.

Re-Volt is visibly faster, and smoother on the Dreamcast than the PlayStation, and was one of the first games where we could see Sega's machine really outshining the competition. more
