WICKED FUN

I haven't enjoyed a racing game this much in years. If you enjoy games like Crusin' USA (I've dropped many a quarter into that one) or Screamers for the PC, you have to get this.

The graphics are excellent, and the gameplay (even though I don't have a steering wheel yet) is awesome. I got the game at the discounted price, figuring that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be wasting that much cash: I haven't played anything else since.

My girlfriend had one complaint about it: the tracks are a little long. I don't share her view, and I'm sure that when she learns to keep from crashing into stuff she'll agree.

All in all, a MUST HAVE for a dreamcast owner.

Speed Devils provides awesome arcade racing!

When the price of Speed Devils dropped to ..., I figured I had nothing to lose by buying the game. Since I didn't pay that much for the game, I wasn't expecting too much either. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised!

For a first-generation title, Speed Devils is an incredibly impressive racing game! For gamers who really love to drive fast, this game satisfies that urge. The tracks are very well-designed, offering plenty of fun and the control and handling of the cars are just perfect. But the one thing that blew me away were the incredible graphics in this game, which are simply stunning! Change the time setting to sunset, go to many of the stages and you will know what I mean. This game has the best-looking skies I've ever seen in a game, and Ubi Soft should be commended on that. I was just very, very impressed with the beautifully rendered, detailed graphics in this game, and I've seen my share of great graphics on the Dreamcast.

If you're looking for a fun and furious arcade style racer with some unique humorous touches and plenty of eye-popping visuals, Speed Devils is just the ticket!

Worth The Money

I bought this game for about ten bucks, and it was worth every penny. I figured, what the heck, I can't lose for ten bucks. I have been hooked since I first placed it in my console. The graphics are great and make you really feel like you are there. Even the music and sound effects are great.

Tip...in championship mode, stay in the first class as long as you can to earn easy money. It also helps that you'll get to know the three tracks in this class like the back of your hand. Don't go buying cars that are just a couple upgrades above what you start with, just to get another upgraded car later. That burns money because you never get what you paid for the car. With just a couple upgrades on your car (top speed I and tires. Tires can be used on other cars, top speed I can't), you can win every race (and bet) and then get THE BEST car and all the upgrades for it. If you don't, you'll find the next class rather hard. The drivers and cars get MUCH better, and you need a car that can keep up.

I would suggest this game for everyone.

I remeber playing this game in December 25,2000. This is better then the online one. This game is a Sega Dreamcast classic. I think they can do better then that.

Tons o' fun

This has gotta be the best car racing game for DC yet. No, it doesn't have the precise racing physics that some games do, but for pure racing fun with some interesting twists (like driving between the T. Rex's legs), this one's tough to beat. The add-ons and gambling make for a nice championship mode, and the driving has enough of a challenge to make the game more than a play-once-and-put-on-the-shelf title like many of the DC titles.

this game is pretty cool

This game is pretty cool if you have the codes but if you don't than its not that good. The cars are cool the tracks are pretty cool but if your looking for a really good game than this is not it.

I thought it was really boring

Compared to games like Gran Turismo, this game is really poor. It kept my attention for a day and now it is going to sit on the shelf, unless my girlfriend wants to play it. She enjoys the game much more then I do. If you are looking for an even decent racing game, this is not it.

Great game and Great fun

Speed Devils may not be very realistic, and if you want something realistic, go for something else. However, to most racing fans this is a great addition to their game library. One problem though. It gets harder and harder and is practically impossible to get through some of the classes. It can get frustrating. Otherwise, this could be one of the best racing games yet on the Dreamcast console.

the best game

I would have to say if you are looking for a realistic game such as Sega rally 2 you are not going to find it in Speed Devils.It is a fun unrealistic game.The tracks are not the same old boring bland scenery laps but the courses have some innovation like for example in the Hollywood track they have King Kong intermingled into the scenery and he takes his fist and tries to bash your car. The tracks are fun and seem long after the first lap but they aren't too bad.The best part of the game is the gasmbling.you cannot make a bet yourself but other people come to you and offer u a wager.The cars are sweet looking, especially the reflection effect off the car's chrome.I wish the game was even longer than it already is and that there were more tracks{there are alot of tracks}and that it provided a harder challenge. All in all this game is great fun......the whole concept is just fun about it. The frame rate on this is very smooth.....unlike Sega rally 2.I payed 50$ fer Speed Devils. It is definitely worth 30$+.If you do not really like the sega rally 2 feel and realisticness....go for Speed Devils it is the most funnest innovative racer.
