  • Vanishing Point: A Race Against the Clock

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 3, 2001
    Pros: Great graphics, racing system, features to unlock, good sense of speed
    Cons: First cars control like crud, loading times, too frustrating at times

    Summary: Intro: The Dreamcast has its fair share of great racing games. Vanishing Point (VP) is one of the games where it could have been something special, but ends up being an okay game. The one thing that bothers me is that VP had it all. The ... read more

    Pros: somewhat realistic handling, excellent selection of real cars, can tune cars
    Cons: lack of immediate tuning, you can't choose which cars you want.

    Summary: if you find it cheap, its definitly worth getting... i would say its a good medium between gran turismo and ridge racer... not quite as realistic as GT, but definitly more so then ridge racer, and the car selection is great, lots of real cars including ... read more

  • Vanishing Point : What a pleasant suprise!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 9, 2001
    Pros: Graphics, things to unlock
    Cons: Hard to get started

    Summary: As I was looking through the Dreamcast games at my local Blockbuster I was looking to pick out a game I had never really heard of before. Vanishing Point caught my eye, I checked out the back and the graphics encouraged me even more, so I thought to ... read more

  • AWESOME DREAMCAST RACING GAME!!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 16, 2001
    Pros: Great graphics and movies, Awesome cars, Stunt Mode, FUN!!!!
    Cons: Little hard to steer at first but you'll get used to it quickly

    Summary: This is by far, the best racing game for the dreamcast, whether you compare it to other realistic, or non realistic racing games. It's just awesome, with a lot of sports cars. Another thing- once you start playing stunt mode, you wont want to turn the ... read more

  • A Niche Game For Racing Fanatics

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 3, 2001
    Pros: First Step Back To real World Racing
    Cons: The Traffics Gets In Your Way On Purpose When You Are Going 155

    Summary: I remember back in the days of my Amiga 500 there was a racing game called Test Drive 2. Now don't think that TD2 has anything to do with its offspring, because it doesn't. The New ones suck, the old ones were the first real world racers. They were ... read more

  • The best unknown racing game

    Pros: HAD wonderful online play, near-perfect physics, great package overall
    Cons: No traffic in 2-player, slow starting for beginners

    Summary: Overall: 9 Gameplay: 10 Graphics: 9 Sound: 9 Replay Value: 10 Concept: 9 During its brief lifetime many excellent games were released for the Dreamcast, and Vanishing Point is one of them. This game combines many different aspects in one ... read more

  • In Too Deep

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 26, 2001
    Pros: Great Game, Once your invloved it is hard to stop
    Cons: Steering, price

    Summary: I have owned Vanishing Point for Dream cast for almost four weeks. This game is a great game for racing buffs. Despite poor steering the game is fueled by a need to unlock over 3000+ new features in the game. What influenced you to buy this ... read more

  • To the point of no return

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 19, 2001
    Pros: Possibly the best driving game ever.
    Cons: Takes a while to show its strengths. Not for the easily discouraged.

    Summary: Like a few reviewers, I was initially a little dismayed when I first popped this game into the Dreamcast. The graphics were nice, but there were only two vehicles to choose from -- a Ford Explorer (aka Deathmobile 2000) and an a$$-heavy Mustang. ... read more

  • Make it a point not to pass this one up!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 19, 2001
    Pros: High replay value, good sense of speed.
    Cons: Physics are a little wacky, frustration level can get high.

    Summary: Well, the Dreamcast has had its fair share of racers, good and bad. With releases like Test Drive: Le Mans 24hrs and Metropolis Street Racer, games like Vanishing Point will end up getting passed over for a higher profile racer. But to look this one ... read more
