  • Can I borrow a quarter…I wanna’ buy a plasma rifle from the vending machine…

    Pros: Graphics. Storyline. Gameplay. High-Tech weapons in Vending Machines...
    Cons: Un-Synced Voice-Overs. Camera Control at times. Not a true "survival horror" game.

    Summary: The very first game I purchased for the Sega Dreamcast was Blue Stinger.  In fact the game was released a couple weeks before the Sega Dreamcast Console was even available in North America.  I was ... read more

  • Quirky survival horror adventure fun with a few flaws

    Oct 4, 2013
    Pros: Interesting story and premise, quirky game play
    Cons: Camera issues and combat against the same re-generating opponents can be tedious

    Summary: Blues Stinger was one the launch games available for the Dreamcast when the console was released in the winter of 1999. Blue Stinger is essentially a survival horror game in the Resident Evil mould. Though perhaps it's fair to say that it's fairly light ... read more

  • Blue Stinger, not Resident Evil.

    Pros: they had some cool guns, cool bosses.
    Cons: voice acting is very bad, takes forever to save up money.

    Summary: So many people said wow I’ll get this game because it’s like Resident Evil. Yet in RE (Resident Evil) you fight zombies, in this you fight monsters, and dinosaurs. Only one thing is played like RE and it is how you walk around, and how you shoot ... read more

  • Not quite a Stinker, but Close.

    Pros: Great music, excellent original storyline
    Cons: Rather horrid movement

    Summary: Blue Stinger is excellent for people who are into those good old horror B-movies. The music for the game is quite superb, and it gives the game a good feel. But there are quite a few flaws, such as mouth movement five seconds prior to any dialogue. The ... read more

    Pros: Good plot, shooting up enemies
    Cons: Camera movement, Tough to figure out

    Summary: Before I bought Blue Stinger, it got decent reviews on the internet. It was also available used for a mere $6.99 at Electronics Boutique. So I bought it, considering it's low price. While the game is fundamentally decent, but it's execution is ... read more

    Pros: Low price, can keep you quite busy
    Cons: Awful camera angles, non-linear gameplay, lukewarm graphics

    Summary: When I was shopping for some new games for my Dreamcast, I saw Blue Stinger on sale for the tempting low price of $9.99. Although most "reputable" gaming sites have gave it mostly unflattering reviews, I find that Blue Stinger, which can be ... read more

    Pros: AWESOME gamplay!!!!!
    Cons: Camera prolblems are sometimes a distration.

    Summary: Upon playing Blue Stinger, and after having played it for about an hour, I was quick to comment on how great of a game Blue Stinger really was. Some people have complained about some of the tricky camera angles in this and it is to be said it sometimes ... read more

  • Blue Stinger: Underrated Gem

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 25, 2000
    Pros: Nice graphics, Long & Intensive
    Cons: Glitchy Controls & Voice Acting from the 7th Plane of Hell

    Summary: Overview: It's a good thing Blue Stinger is a launch title, because had it been released later, closer to Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil: Code Veronica, it would have been drowned in the torrent of comparison. As it is, Blue Stinger, with its clinched ... read more

    Nov 24, 2000
    Pros: Good graphics:blow mutants up
    Cons: Kind of boring at times

    Summary: When I first got this game, I'd never played on of those "Resident Evil" games that everyone says this is a rip off of. But I had played alot of other video games, and I must say that Blue Stinger is an enjoyable experience. The ... read more

    Pros: Alrights Game
    Cons: Need more Graphics Effect

    Summary: Blue Stinger, well there isn't much to say about really except from DON'T buy it. I did and a week later I was off to the swap shop for HOD2. Very well, the graphics and weapons are ok but the acting, puzzles, music, speed of the game are totally putting ... read more

    Pros: character switches on the fly, some decent weapons
    Cons: bad story, respawning enemies, camera, control problems,

    Summary: Seems these days every single gaming company around is trying to cash in on the survival/horror genre, and this time around it is Activision's turn to try to scare the bejesus out of us while blasting away at your slew of undead. In the end though Blue ... read more

  • Blue Stinger only leaves me blue.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 19, 2000
    Pros: Not Many
    Cons: Too long

    Summary: Blue stinger was one of the launch titles for Dreamcast, and it stinks. This game is boring. Basically, it's like Tomb Raider, but set in the future, and you're not a hot chick. There are a couple of problems with this. Since you're not a hot chick ... read more

    Pros: nothing
    Cons: everything

    Summary: I have never asked this but, can I pretty please give a game ZERO stars? This is not just one of those bad games that I never seem to stop hating, this is THE bad game by which all other gaming massacres will be judged by. The next Spec Ops game, ... read more

  • B Movie Video games are cool

    Oct 8, 2000
    Pros: Fun gameplay, great visuals
    Cons: Awful camera

    Summary: This game is really a lot of fun. You have to ignore all of the bad press it received upon review. I first heard about this game when it launched in Japan and after I had played a little bit of it, I was hooked. I really reminded me of a Japanese game ... read more

  • Resident Evil Clone? I THINK NOT!!!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 24, 2000
    Pros: Sound, Graphics, Gameplay, Controls
    Cons: TOO EASY TO DIE when you only get 1 LIFE

    Summary: I've read other reviews of this game that have tried to summarize this game as just another Resident Evil clone. News flash for those people, play the game. True, it does have a couple of similarites to Resident Evil, but so does Legacy of Kain: Soul ... read more

  • Blue Stinger - Mediocrity At Its Finest

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 1, 2000
    Pros: Resident Evil-type game, somewhat interesting, enigmatic story
    Cons: Bad camera, bad voices, quirky control, laughable animations

    Summary: One of the first games released on Sega Dreamcast, Blue Stinger falls right into the category of "mediocre." It's not great, it's not terrible. It is still an enjoyable game though, despite the quirky (and cheesy) flaws. Just don't expect too ... read more

  • Blue Stinger? More Like Blue STINKER!!

    Aug 19, 2000
    Pros: The disc is round like it should be.
    Cons: Graphics, sound, control. Boring Boring Boring.

    Summary: I recently saw Blue Stinger, from Activision, at a local Wal-Mart for $19.99. It might be worth that price if it came with a $15.99 mail in rebate, but it doesn't! Luckily, I passed on the purchase and borrowed it from a friend instead (She ... read more
