A must have for Dreamcast

This is a really great game. Being involved in real RC only makes it even more fun. Some of the cars are a bit strange (Panga, which is a panda bear on wheels) but all handle very close to real life RC cars. It's not too hard of a game once you get a feel for the cars and tracks, but it always has a good amount of challenge to it. The only minor problem I have with the game is with the menus. The only way to exit a race in progress (other than championship) is to return all the way to the title screen. Other than that I think this game is one of the best racers for DC.

I can pretty much say that this is one of the best racing games that I've played in a long time. I don't even know where to start, but I'll try.
When I put Re-Volt in my Dreamcast, I wasn't REALLY sure of what to expect. For one, I was not expecting the great music! It was like stepping into a club! This upbeat music kept my head in the game for hours at a time.
Then, when I actually started the game, I noticed that there were many options and MANY RC cars to unlock. You can race in tournaments, single races, and you can even take your car onto a stunt track.
The actual tracks are very original; from racing in a supermarket, to rooftops and through peoples' homes! not only are the tracks very original and lots of fun, but the graphics are very detailed and smooth. RV is definitely not lacking in that department.
The actual control is very good as well. It's about as close as you're going to get to real RC racing without buying one. you have to take into account the actual physics of an environment before you go Super Dave-ing it through puddles of oil, or taking a top-heavy RC around a sharp turn.
Weapons...no truly FUN racing game should be without them. RV has them. Cool items like battery packs to temporarily increase your speed to funny weapons like water balloons (especially when you toss one at a friend and make fun of'em for the rest of the day), and HUGE ball bearings. Oh yeah, this game is great.
If you purchase this game (which you really should), be prepared for a lot of "unlocking secrets" and very little down time. The only downside to RV is the fact that if you do get 3 other people to play with you, that it gets a little confusing because there's a four-way screen split and there's so much happening on the screen. Other than that, I can honestly say that this game was an excellent buy!

This game RULEZ!!

This is probably the best racing game for the Dreamcast console! The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is outstanding choose from about 40 remote control racers and about 10-15 tracks. You can even make your own track with the track maker. From supermarkets to ghost towns, this game blows other racing games out of the water!!!!

Re-volt is an awesome 3-d remote control car racer simulation. You can make your own tracks and there is about 50 cars to choose from (if you beat the game). You start with 10 and you get 10 more every time you accomplish a trophy.

THE OPPOSITE OF GOOD

The worst thing I did was buy this game. I should of had rented it but I didnt. TAKKE MY ADVICE, DO NOT BUT THIS GAME. There are no graphics, there is no good sound, and also the cars are so small. I made this mistake, dont let this happen to you.

GREAT GAME

I first got this game's demo from a cd that comes along with the dreamcast magazine. I liked the game so much I eventually bought it and couldn't be happier.

The controls are great, difficult at first maybe, but realistic and easily mastered. The graphics are superb, and the tracks are all unique and fun. Your opponent cars and your own can nab "pickups" along the course and fire firecrakers, leave oil slicks, shoot a photon like gun, among other weapons to slow the other cars. There are many modes: championship, single race, timed race, that once you've beaten unlock other tracks, and more sophisticated cars-about 25 in all, that have different feels racing. There is a decent track editor so you can design your own course. The music well suits the game and is nice turned up loud. Acclaim did a great job with this game.

Anyway, I hope I convinced you to try Re-volt out. I doubt it'll dissapoint.

Unique, Fun, Difficult

This game seems like a fun, family game, but is fact a (usually) serious RC car simulation, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Still, you must know that the game is difficult and requires practice. New players can't simply pick up a control and do well in a multiplayer race.

Otherwise, this would be a perfect game. The graphics are amazing, even by today's standards, and the tracks are wonderfully inventive - everything you've ever wanted to do with RC cars, you will do in this game. You can also design your own tracks. There are courses for multiplayer battles and tricks. Finally, the one positive aspect of the game's difficulty is that you will find plenty of depth. Not a bad choice for the price.

Fun and Realistic!

Excellent game. It takes time to master, but the graphics and responses of the car are very realistic. It is also fun and challenging since there are various courses and cars to be unlocked.
