    Delivers on every level -- gameplay, graphics, sound and, especially, originality. Greedy as we are, we can only complain that there isn't even more goodness.

    A game that captures the essence of why most of us started playing games in the first place -- skill, speed, innovation and style, with gameplay that's as fun to watch as it is to play.

    A knock-you-on-your-ass game that's so good it should be considered a felony not to own it.

    There's plenty of challenging levels and the most blinkered PS2 stalwart would have to admit that it looks amazing.

    Maybe I'm just being picky, but I found the camera positioning quite annoying at times, especially in the last section of the final boss.

    This game still rocks. A superb execution of gameplay, controls, environment, characters, music, and style, this game is reason enough to buy a Dreamcast. This will be a classic.… Expand

    I think this game is too tight because of the music.

    A great game that was fun and engaging, until i got stuck in the second part of the second chapter in that area with the big train tracks and the ninja guy chasing you- does anybody know how to beat that?… Expand

    This game COULD have been awesome. It has great looks, great sounds, great level design... but it controls so poorly, and the camera is so bad, it gets nearly unplayable sometimes! You may not notice in early levels, but later JGR just ceased to be fun.… Expand
