Spider-Man
SYSTEM: Dreamcast
MAKER: Activision
PRICE: $39.99
The version is just like all the other versions of Spider-Man. It's a fun game with a few camera problems.
Grade: B+
SYSTEM: Dreamcast
MAKER: Capcom
PRICE: $39.99
This quirky Japanese fighter features team battles and a funny cast of high school kids. There are some hilarious touches, but the fighting wears thin, especially for those who aren't gung-ho on fighting games.
Grade: B-
SYSTEM: Dreamcast
MAKER: Capcom
PRICE: $29.99
The best thing about this shooter is that four players can pilot an aircraft at once. Too bad the game play is pure chaos, dodging an endless barrage of enemy gunfire.
Grade: C-
SYSTEM: Dreamcast
MAKER: Capcom
PRICE: $29.99
Yes, another shooter, and this one is as difficult as any I've played. Old schoolers may like the challenge, but there's just too much action on screen at one time for my tastes.
Grade: C
SYSTEM: PlayStation
MAKER: Take2 Interactive
PRICE: $9.99
Ten dollars doesn't seem like a lot to spend on a game, but I'd rather blow my money at the arcade than on this one. Not only is it a simple matter of shoot or be shot, but it's dull and overly difficult.
Grade: F
SYSTEM: PlayStation
PRICE: $9.99
MAKER: Take2 Interactive
There must be some demographic crossover that I'm not aware of. Are Kiss fans really into video pinball? If they are, they won't be after playing this one.
