When you think of the dreamcast's best games or most iconic games, what comes to mind? Shenmue? Chu Chu Rocket? Powerstone? Resident evil code veronica? The dreamcast had so many great games, and due to the ultimate failure of the console, many of us never got a chance to play them at the time. Even for those who did manage to play either at the time or on later ports, there are a lot of games from the console which are quite hard to find and play now. More obscure titles like D2, illbleed and blue stinger are difficult to find and haven't been ported else where. On top of this we have the wonderful genesis collection which had already been released, it seemed like the dreamcast collection was destined to be great. When you actually see what was released, it's hard not be a little disappointed. Sure, crazy taxi is a fun game, but who asked for pro bass fishing? However, when you delve into the collection, things get so much worse. No bonuses, extras or unlockables, this collection really is bare bones. There is a very basic menu screen and then that's it, just the 4 games. Sonic is basically unplayable nowadays, the camera is horrible, and worst of all they included the original version with none of the updated gamecube content (I suppose it is a dreamcast collection but still). Space channel 5 is the less well regarded sequel. Pro Bass fishing is well fishing. But surely they can't fuck up crazy taxi right? Wrong, the original music has been replaced with some generic rock music. An absolute disaster.

Get the Steam version, it has 7 games:
- Crazy Taxi
- SEGA Bass Fishing
- Sonic Adventure DX
- Space Channel 5: Part 2
- Jet Set Radio
- NiGHTS Into Dreams
- Sonic Adventure 2

I've only played SADX, SA2, and Jet Set Radio but got this collection on sale for like $5 which was very worth it. (Also, mod SADX. Very worth it and definitely improves the experience from OG SADX and the OG Dreamcast version.)

PS: I don't have the 360 version, backloggd isn't letting me pick just the PC version for some reason.
