Dreamcast Review

Brief Description:

The Dreamcast was Sega's last console ever to be released. RIP Sega, you will be remembered as another victim of those unworthy Sony fanbois. It was released in 1998.

The Positive Points:

-It was the very first console to introduce built-in online multiplayer (even before Xbox Live).

-It's controller design was unique, and proved to be the basis and blueprint for the soon-to-be-released Xbox controller. They were also the very first home console controllers to have a built-in screen.

-It was the most powerful console, and had the best graphics for it's time (granted, it was released just two to three years before being surpassed by all three of the main future consoles).

The Negative Points:

-The dumb thing about it's controllers however was that they only came with one joystick. Also the screen that was on them was rarely used, and wasn't even necessary, but instead just ended up driving the cost of these controllers.

-Because of it's short lifespan, hardly any exclusive good games were released for it. In fact, most of the games on it were also playable on older consoles, making it almost completely unnecessary to buy.

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): A Little Cheap

General Public Rating: Controversial

Success: Successful while it was being sold, but Unsuccessful in total sales due to it's premature retirement

My Personal Final Rating: OK (3/6)
