A supremely replayable action game that is fun, cool, relatively challenging, very edgy in tone (cops shooting at graffiti-spraying teenagers?) and very unique.
The Dreamcast is running on all cylinders with this one, a game that has awesome visuals- the best on the system, control smooth as silk and super realistic handling.
This is a classic, and we cannot recommend it to you any higher even if you are planning on ridding yourself of the Dreamcast and moving on to PlayStation 2 land.
Everything about the Dreamcast port of QIIIA came together supremely well at the end: graphics, ambient BGM, sound effects, control, lag-free internet frag-a-thons (most of the time anyway), everything!
Much as "Final Fantasy 7" was the catalyst that launched the PS into the RPG world, Skies of Arcadia does the same for the Dreamcast and is truly a must have RPG for ANY RPG fan regardless of their system of choice.
The ultimate remake of what has been done before but with the benefit of technology making everything look prettier, cleaner and fancier, not to mention a minor tweak or two to things that were so good the first time around they weren't worth messing around with.
Gorgeous graphics and that hard-to-explain fun factor that emerges from repeated exposure to its better features (which cannot be easily explained unless you've played PSO online yourself).
