    Pros: It's simple, addictive, and fun.
    Cons: Gets old fast, and no one plays online anymore.

    Summary: There were a number of things to attract me to Chu Chu Rocket. Being so poor, I liked the idea of it only being thirty dollars at the time. Not only that, but it offered online play which was new to me, and I wanted to finally harness the Dreamcast ... read more

    Sep 2, 2001
    Pros: Good, cartoony graphics, easy to pick up
    Cons: Single player gets old fast, annoying sound

    Pros: Network play, great multiplayer
    Cons: Laggy network play and jerky people
