Get Re-Volt just for Battle Tag!

This game is a blast! It's got a huge variety of tracks and cars, weapons and other power-ups for an exciting twist, and plenty of game modes (single race, championship, practice, stunt track, head-to-head race, and battle tag) to keep you hooked.

My friend and I played it the night I bought it, and we soon latched on to "Battle Tag" as our game of choice. Your goal is to find a hidden star, and then evade your opponent(s) for a total of two minutes. But if an opponent finds you and tags you, the chase reverses. Up to four players can compete in any of the multi-player modes. Shooting bottle rockets and water balloons at your friends really adds to the fun of the chase.

The background music is totally addictive. We found ourselves turning the volume up louder and louder as the game went on.

The tracks and battle arenas are what really set this game apart. Race through neighborhood streets, a toy store, a supermarket, a ghost town, and more. And when you're taking on computer opponents, you WILL end up on the losing end of some well-placed oil slicks and a rocket or two.

The controls are pretty tight, but don't be intimidated. Remember, you're supposed to be controlling an R/C car - it's not easy. But it's well worth the patience as you learn to slide through the turns and jump off ramps and curbs.

ReVolt is one of the best games I've seen in years. The graphics are amazing, just enough challenge to make it fun and the courses are great...Toytanic? Toys in the Hood? Grrreat! Lots of great cars too, each has its own personality.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!!

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.

GREAT GAME
