Item as described, was well packed and shipped promptly. I left a neutral response because the seller offered a "make offer" option on the auction. I made what I felt was a reasonable offer, but the seller did not respond. Communication and respect are important to me. If you have the option to make offers on your auctions, please have the courtesy and respect to reply. Thank you.

Near Perfect Fghting Game
5 of 5 found this helpful Dreamcast has brought us many orignal and fun games - Soul Calibur is one of those. This game is not only original, but it also has many features, characters, and great graphics. There is a high replay value on this game, and will take the average gamer at least seven hours to beat the game, not including getting all extras. In conclusion, this is by far one of the best, if not the best Dreamcast Fighting game.

INTRO
This is one of the stand out games for the short lived Sega Dreamcast. Taking place in 1986, in various areas of Japan, Shenmue focuses on Rio Hazuki, a younger man who rushes home to find his father, Iwao Hazuki, being extorted for a mirror (that Rio has no clue about) by a man in a long green robe named Lan-Di and his henchmen. As Rio tries to save his beaten father, he is instead choked by Lan-Di, and Iwao finally tells Lan-Di where the mirror is, as he will kill Rio if he does not. After Lan-Di gets the mirror, they leave, and Rio is left with his dead father. The game itself mainly focuses on Rio attempting to find Lan-Di, his father’s killer by searching his area for clues, witnesses, or anything that will lead him to Lan-Di.
GRAPHICS
Unlike other games, this is truly realistic. As soon as you start to play, you will notice how real everything looks; the beginning cut scene is the exact graphics and frame rate as the actual game play. The graphics have vast colors and shading, and the animations are extremely realistic. Sadly, this is ruined when the characters talk. The lip movement looks fake compared to other Dreamcast games, and the characters voices are not in sync with the lip movements. Overall, the graphics are one of the best things about this game.
GAMEPLAY
The game play itself is very, very gripping. In this game you can talk to people, buy toy capsules, play arcade games, search your house for items, buy chips, and much, much more. Stores and the environment are realistic, complete with closing times, soda machines outside, garbage, crabby people, and customers. You will notice how all stores are like this, and only certain people will help you on your path. If you ever get bored, especially when the game play gets slow (which it does), you can easily play Space Harrier at the arcade using you allowance, or play it on your Saturn. ;-)
MUSIC
Kudos to whoever created this music. With the music, the game play is extremely intense, such as sad music during a sad part, happy music during a happy part, etc. Not only does the music add to the game, but it is powerful. The music is always appropriate, and you can even listen to it using your cassette player (Hey, it’s the 80’s). If you were to play this game on mute, you would feel as if something is missing; with the music, the game feels complete.
CONTROLS
This is probably where the game could have improved the most. The most irritating thing is that you must use the D-Pad to move. No, the joystick controls the virtually pointless camera. They should have switched the D-Pad and joystick controls around, as your thumb will get sore. A positive side is that the buttons are straight forward: only a few are used and anyone can memorize them quickly. The controls can also be used for a QTE, Quick Timer Event, where a button comes up and if you have fast reflexes to press it in time, something good will happen; if not, something bad
CLOSING
Over this game is recommended. You can find it for about $10 on eBay. This game will provide you with hours of game play and has great graphics, game play, sound, and is something no Dreamcast owner should miss.
