Wild Metal Country for Dreamcast

Pros: Fun multiplayer, interesting physics, cool weapons, cheap.
Cons: Slow control, mediocre graphics, boring.

I bought this game along with my Dreamcast. It was the cheapest game at the time: a mere $9.99. I figured "What the heck", and brought it home alongside Crazy Taxi and Sega GT. And since then, I've hardly ever touched it.

We'll break...

Pros: You can blow things up, including yourself
Cons: The rest of the game

The objective of this game is to blow up all of the other tanks, collect the different colored boxes, and blow more stuff up. To finish each mission you have to collect the boxes and find the portal.

GRAPHICS: Not so good here. I played...

Pros: Absolutley none. This game was BAD.
Cons: Graphics look like a poor N64 game, sound is barley there, SLOW.

Wild Metal is deceptive. Before it's release, it was somewhat hyped and in the throes of development hell. On top of that, there was also supposed to be an N64 version. In a way there was, it was just released on the Dreamcast.

The biggest...

Pros: Great sounds and some threatening moments. Track controls and emulated physics excellent.
Cons: Tank travel between action highlights is Waaaaaaaay toooooooooooo long.

This is basically an exercise in 3d rendering and sound effects. No great plot and seriously tedious and boring to traverse after a couple of plays. Once you score over 60k you earn the right to operate Minotaur. Minotaur is seriously retarded. The game's major flaw is it does not take you to higher more complicated levels of play. There are dead ends in the software which dump you back to start and there are meaningless targets which merely blow up. Oil pumps and spinning decahedrons - or whatever they are - which seems to impart the gift of momentary flight - but over what? Some fun and hidden wit buried in the sound engineering like 'Öh my God' when you unload a few well placed mines. One option offered is Internet play - which is inactive. Doh!
