Yes, It is true! Sega has released its VERY FIRST online game! This game utilizes complete on-line gaming with people from ALL over the world! This simple, yet VERY addicting game is made by the one and only, Sonic Team! Sonic Team has brought you titles for the DC such as: Sonic Adventure, and Chu Chu Rocket! I preordered my copy already, and i have the Japanese version, if you are a DC owner you MUST buy this game! Besides, $29.99, what can you lose? NOTHING! :)

adictive-fun!

This game is simple to describe... massive puzzle and strategy fun with friends with multiple controllers or via modem. Also great solo. Get it!

Don't believe the hype

It's pretty good. Not great. At least not as great as a lot of the reviewers seem to think. You'll spend more time trying to figure out what's going on than you will playing, and the game is so constantly interrupted by mode changes (everybody switch spots, speed up, slow down, cat mania, etc.) that you can rarely get into any type of groove with what's going on. Don't get me wrong - it's frantic, fast, and pretty fun, but it's also often confusing, and some of the level layouts make the gameplay frustrating. The lag times on the on-line version significantly detract from the quick-decision gameplay. If you're looking for a simple 4-player party game that anybody can pick up and enjoy right away (without being a game nut), get Mario Party or Smash Brothers for N64. Chu Chu's a bit too wacked-out, but it's still better than average.

NOT JUST ONLINE FUN!

While it's easy to focus on the online capabilities of this game, the other multiplayer and one-player games are great, too. The one-player modes let you get the hang of things, and there are plenty of puzzles to keep you busy for a long time. The multiplayer rocks, too. It's extremely addicting, and a great addition to any Dreamcast library.

Get some friends and you'll love it

This game's puzzle mode is sub-par and pretty boring. But bring in some friends and begin the no-holds-barred multiplayer mode and BANG! Instant fun. If you liked Lemmings, you'll absolutely love Chu Chu Rocket, especially the Two-Player Mission Mode, which is sadly way too short. But the real life of the game is the competitive mode, and it's one you won't want to miss, even if you just have to rent it. This game is fun... don't pass it up for anything! The graphics and sound, however, could have been more without even detracting from the gameplay. Also, the internet mode has enough lag to keep you from really being hooked on it, because it nullifies the quick-decision gameplay.

Great fun!

This game is fun. Period. The stage challenge mode is fun, but it is too short, and the puzzle mode is boring. But the 4-player mode rocks! As long as you have 4 controllers with friends attached to them, this game is massive mulitplayer fun. Solo play is not very good outside of the internet, which has enough lag to keep you from playing. But other than that, I would recommend getting this game!

Funny, Unusual, EASY

this game makes me laugh. not necesarily in a bad way but it makes me laugh. The thought of kapukapu cats and chu mice are enough to make me not buy this game. since it was the only multiplayer option i was stuck with it. the one player action can be dull but interesting at best. The real spot the game shines in is multiplayer. I would say you have to have a keyboard to get the full effect of online fun but it is manageable without. a nice feature is the ability to taunt your opponents during play and to have team battles as well as a record showing how good you are. This game is an ok choice but i would wait for baldurs gate or quake III before plunking ... bucks on this.

WAY TO EASY AND UNFUN

This is the easiest game ever, me and my friend beat the whole game in 45 minutes. It is fun the first time you play and then you just lose interest. I recommend renting before buying.

A Decent Game

Chu Chu Rocket probably isn't for everyone but it does provide a lot of fun for a gamer who likes puzzle games. The best part is the multiplayer option. Get four people together and you have something to waste hours on. True the graphics aren't anything special, and the puzzles provided on the disc are easy, but the four-player capability makes Chu Chu Rocket a decent, and potentially great game.
