Blue Stinger for the Dreamcast

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 14 / 21

I just bought this game from Amazon.com, and I just have to say that this is a GREAT start for Resident Evil type games on the Sega Dreamcast system. Although it is no Resident evil, mind you, it has excellent strong points:

1.) Great graphics! Although not absolutely mind blowing like Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Bass Fishing (not that I like it), or Sonic.
2.) The only Resident Evil type game for the Dreamcast that I've seen.
3.) Really fun because it's lengthy. I HATE short games! They're a waste of money!
4.) Story line is good, but not WONDERFUL, but hey, neither was Resident Evil's story line.
5.) Swearing adds to the reality.
6.) It's made by Activision. Need I say more?

OK, there are some cons:

1.) As stated above, there can be some awkward camera angles.
2.) Also stated, regenerating enemies suck, but it's not too bad because you get money for every enemy you kill, and they're not hard at all.
3.) I'm not too happy with the fact that the mouths move in Japanese and speak English, causing there to be frequent pauses between speech.
4.) Love blooms too early for reality. The guy just meets her and he's all like "She's my kind of girl, so stay away."


So, all-in-all, a GREAT start! Keep up the good work, Activision, and pump out more games for the Sega Dreamcast!

Great Game

I decided to pick up this game for the dreamcast and it has been very fun to play. It reminds me of Resident Evil, only better. Here's how I rate it:
Graphics: 5 The graphics are just what you would expect out of the dreamcast-perfect
Control: 3 It is hard to control in this game, especially when swimming.
Music/Sound: 4 Sometimes the music will get repeatitive and old, but it is enjoyable.
I recommend you to buy this game.

One of the best action adventure games ever

This game is cool! It is one of the best action adventure games out there! This game is almost like a shenmue, except not as detaled. There are also tons of items you can pick up. So stop reading and BUY! BUY! BUY!

Very nice departure for Survival Horror

I really like this game here. Sure it's a little cheesy but the graphics make up for it. They are very colorful and are such a nice departure from the dark and gloomy Resident evil type locals. I would describe it as Resident Evil in a Chrono Cross setting, very tropical.

Resident Evil for Dreamcast

Now whether or not you will enjoy this game depends probably on how much you enjoy Resident Evil. Blue Stinger is very similar to Resident Evil, which is why i like it. The weapons are awesome, the graphics are great, and it makes you think. I haven't completed the game yet, but when I rented it I spent about 6 straight hours playing it. So it does take a while to beat, which is a very good thing. Many people complain about the fact that the characters mouths are out of sync with the sound. WHO CARES! If thats what you are really looking for in a game, then you got problems. But on occasion the camera angles do mess up like when you are in a corner or something. Then you may not be able to see your enemies or it may spin and get you feelin quite queasy. All in all, this game rox.

Really good and adictave game

O.k. so the game has its weak points,but it is somthing to keep you busy. It only takes about ten minuets to get used to the control of it. It is also one of the games that you have to play about 15 minuets to get into. once your into it you'll never stop playing it.

this game Rocks

It is a great third person role playing game. If you like to figure things out and use your mind instead of just shooting at everything that moves this is the game for you. I think it blows the comp. out of the water. Good graphics great story and lots of blood. HAVE FUN!

Fantastic Game!

While I admit that Blue Stinger does have poor sights and can get tedious when stuck or if the character is hurt I think that it makes up for it in the long run. The graphics are phenominal and I love the storyline. It's great how long the game is and it really keeps your mind working. It has nice little movies amoungst the gameplay, but even w/out these the action and puzzles are enough to keep one interested. By the way, it's nice to have the two character choices b/c even though Dogs is slower that way, between him and Eliot, you get more and cooler weapons. I think it's definately worth the price since it can keep you entertained for a long time.

A Wild Funky Ride!

I have to admit that this game has found a place in my heart. I love the funky sense of humor (the bath interlude and Santa-with-a-Axe come to mind) as well as the level design. Sure there are a few camera problems here and there but this game really took me away to Dinosaur Island!

Blue Stinger is a masterpiece

Blue Stinger is a great sci-fi adventure that takes place on an island created after an earthquake. The game's plot has you trapped in an island surrounded by a blue forcefield all a while trying to figure out the mystery of the island and what happened. Don't pay any attention to any negative reviews of this game. I don't know what those other people are talking about, because from start to finish this game is awesome. In fact I would even say it's better than "ocarina of time" in certain areas.
