Roadsters has poor control, and the graphics dont push the Dreamcast. It has a pretty good concept, but everything else is bad.Buy a game like Metropolis Street Racer, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, or one of the Crazy Taxi's instead of this.

could be better

This game is alright. The turning is practically impossible using a controller. I suggest getting the steering wheel hook up thing. The boards are cool and the cars are better, but the gameplay is pretty difficult.

This game is bad

I bought it thinking it would be a great game, not knowing Titus' lousy reputation. When i got it home and started playing it i was supprised at how bad it was. How bad? Only some of the cars are licensed, and all the other ones are real cars but the physics are way off. No damage, and when you ram into another car, that car doesn't slow down' you just bounce of. When you hit a tree, the tree bounces of the ground and disapears. What really stumped me was how on the back of the game CD, there is a picture of a Porsche Boxter and a Shelby Cobra racing. Well guess what! Niether one of those cars are available in the game! The worst part is the graphics. You'd be better off with Mario Cart for Super NES for good graphics! Do not buy this game! I bought it, and i traded it in for Test Drive 6. If you already bought it, I suggest you do the same thing.

I hate this game!

This is the worst racing game I have ever played!

Here's why: 1. awful graphcs(the game looks like a sega saturn racing game!) 2. a lot of pop up( things just seem to pop up in front of you, and it is distracting! 3. the load times are so long that I started to get very upset. 4. you barely have any control over your car!

There are a lot more reasons why this game is bad, but I returned it on the second day, so I didn't see anymore. the people who made this game obviously have no idea what they're doing, and probably don't know that DREAMCAST IS A 128 BIT SYSTEM, IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE VERY LITTLE LOAD TIME, AND NO POP UP! Don't buy it!

Avoid this game at all costs.

... Roadsters is by far the worst gameavailable for the Dreamcast. Potential buyers beware, the cover artis the only thing this game has going for it.

The graphics and sound are terrible, but what really irritates me is the pathetic play action. It's almost like trying to play a video game that's on demo mode. You have minimal control at best. Nasty stuff. Don't even rent it.

Crazy Taxi and Speed Devils are much better driving games for the Dreamcast, buy those instead of Roadsters.

Dissapointing

Yes I like racers, and I love my Dreamcast. However I am very underwhelmed with this title. The graphics are sub par for a DC title. The car handling is pretty spotty, nowhere near Sega Rally 2. Yes there are some neat jumps/shortcuts and weather effects, but that has already been done on Speed Devils, which was released months ago and is far better than this title. The "attitude" of each driver is only a couple of highly annoying and VERY repetive 3 word phrases. Nothing special here.

Why did I buy it? - well I was hoping for decent 4 player racing. I tried it out, and it is no good. You just cannot see the track ahead in the tiny window, so it is too frustrating to race. Revolt is a much better 4 player racer despite the tricky handling.

Overall this is not a recommended game. It has some redeeming points, but is not as good as the other racers released months ago.

I have a Dreamcast hooked to my computer monitor via the VGA adapter. This game does not support this adapter, so I can't play it. It's a new game, so you would think they would support this display, but alas, they do not. :(

So, 1 star, since they don't offer good graphics support.
