Well this is a first, me and disolitude in agreement. The DC is a first class console. Even today it maintains a position on my entertainment center hooked up and ready to roll. While my play time with it doesn't approach my Wii, PC, or 360 time, it comes in ahead of my original Xbox certainly, and not terribly far behind my PS2. That is pretty amazing for a console that only really had a little more than two years on the market locally. Many games I still play often are DC games like Headhunter, RE: Code Veronica, Toy Commander, Crazy Taxi (I+II), Quake 3, PowerStone, Heavy Metal, Soul Calibur, Legacy of Kain, MDK2,and  Typing of the Dead. In many cases these games have been ported, but in many instances the DC versions remain the best for instance Headhunter, Sonic, or Tony Hawk I and II. 

While I'd admit the controller is bulky, it brought many solid concepts to the table. The VMU was a great idea for the time, having an LCD on the controller was actually surprisingly useful. The DC controller also had triggers, which to me is crucial to avoid hand cramping. Despite my love for the PS2 I have always hated the Dual-Shocks. The controller was also quite light, and as I have found out over the years, they are quite durable.

Writing off the DC is a sign of ignorance of console history, and how we go to where we are today. It deserves respect both for what it was then, but also for what it is still today- a system with lots of great games. The DC provided much of the innovation we are seeing now, and with the exception of the Wii it was one of the ballsiest console releases ever. Online at the very least would not be where it is today were it not for the momentum put in place by the Dreamcast making it a standard feature.

The greatest game of all time is missing from this list...................... SHENMUE.

If you're interested, there actually is a a Crazy Taxi 3 on original Xbox. I though it was OK, but the maps don't compare to the first 2.

Nice list of games man. Its so funny...I never picked MvsC2 on xbl. I just don't like the game...i see where its a fun mish mash of skill and button mashing but I tend to focus more on skill myself.

An interesting fact - when Japanese vs USA fighting game tournament was on, the only game where USA beat Japan was MvsC2. And they didn't just beat them, they slaughtered them. Apparently the Japanese didn't get the game and were trying to do jump in combos and 2 in 1s...lol

Wonderful psot about DC. You know your DC games alright...

But I didn't know we disagreed on stuff before :)

I love Sonic Adventure. #2 should have made it on the list, but I'm glad that the original did. :P

All of this

fair enough, wasnt aware of 3. but a quick look up of it shows what you noted - it in no way compares to the original 2. It doesnt seem to add anything new, but more of the same.

sadly enough - thats what i would expect from a new entry into the series. the game was...unique, but limited in its design, so aside from a new town and a small batch of added content, i cant see what "new" can they add to the series. Though i guess that just reinforces my opinion of the first one.

Yeah I agree, frankly not every game needs 50 sequels. I'm glad they left it where they did. Perhaps in 10 years we can get a nice remake, but as it stands the first 2 pretty much take the concept as far as it will go. Thank you Sega for letting me keep my happy memories of CT by not pulling a Tony Hawk and pissing out a new version every year.

Typing of the dead need a sequel ASAP.
