Back in October 2000, after one year of DC, I bought a PS2. I used it so rarely that I gave it as a present to my grandchildrens and got back to DC. It still works today, a jewel.

Its a pleasure to work hard driving the circuits in this game. Seen a few weekends with no sleep mastering the circuits this very year.

My son & I played the arcade version of this at California Extreme, last year. It is amazing! I never knew this came out on the DC!? Once I (finally) get my home stuff set up, I'll have to search for this game! Happy new year
Remember playing that in the arcades with my friends, we took turns to see who could get the fastest laps and we also tried to drift in it... I miss the arcades...
one of the most realistic racers ever, not to mention easily one of the best looking games of the last generation, almost as impressive as GT3 on PS2, but less jaggy. Dreamcast couldn't handle it my a**.
I had NO IDEA the Sega Dreamcast had games that looked this good, & the gameplay/physics look insanely good! If I had of known this I would have BEGGED my parents EVERY day until they game in or put me up for adoption & I would beg my new parents as well! Im so sad I missed out!!
The Dreamcast has hi-res texture compression, which meant that a dev had 64mbs to play with. This compression was a really big positive. The actual image quality of the DCs best games is better than PS2. The PS2 has 32mbs to play with and low-res textures etc.. It has to use tricks to make environments - which leads to that gritty blocky look. Overall, the DC was never pushed, so there could have been even better visuals on the system. The PS2 had DVD - and that's what people wanted.
One of my favorite driving games ever. Had the Dreamcast and a MadCatz wheel. My first exposure to a simulation game. Was addicted. Still a top 3 all-time driving fave for me... Someday I will buy one of those great F355 challenge arcade units...
this game was the shit back in the day i still pop this in the DC when im bored of Ferrari challenge on ps3. no matter how many simulators there are these days this game still kick ass. Yu Suzuki please make a sequel this game is the best simulator ever but for the sequel add a testarossa.
elr2141979 F-Zero GX is the best racing game of all time. But this one is also amazing! Looks really good even today for a Dreamcast game. Also 480p 60fps gameplay!
retrofan I agree wholeheartedly with you for numerous reasons. GX is a masterpiece. But I prefer to keep a division between arcade racers such as F-Zero and sim-like racers like this and Gran Turismo, separate.
This game still looks and plays wonderfully even today. Man, I loved playing this at a buddy's house years ago, I should really buy a copy, as my DC and Genesis are currently hooked-up!:)
I am a huge Dreamcast fanboy and I've been looking for an excuse to extend the life of it and this is the game I chose to do so. I went ahead and ordered an extra copy of the game along with two racing wheels for vs link cable play. I already have a set up for Virtual On two player Twin Sticks with two screens, so this game I can easily afford to seeing how wheels and the game are way cheaper than VOOT twin-sticks. I've had the game for ages but never gave it a chance until now.
Well goddamn, mark. If only people had YOUR mindset: Go with the console that's the cheapest and has the best GAMES, NOT FEATURES, GRAPHICS, etc.! I'm proud to say I got my Dreamcast Christmas '99. Fact is, the Dreamcast did not fail those who thought it would flop eventually. THEY failed the Dreamcast.
I was wanting to know what's the song at the end of the video, that starts at 7:51, though I don't have a name, it apparently is song number 4 in the game soundtrack.
I was just playing Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on my PS3 and decided to try out the Suzuka track in F355 on my DC for comparison sake and wow the physics are still up there when all aids are off. I just wish I had a Dreamcast Wheel to fully compare it to Forza2 with the MS Wheel and GT5 experience using the Driving Force Pro Wheel.
i love it when the main title of the game is being shouted out. "hydro thundeeeer!!!" any game that does this kind of thing is an automatic winner for me. except for maybe ghostbusters on the nes. and all hail the classic game room. it should be shouted out at the beginning.
Not really, the PS2 could do 66 mil polygons vs the Dreamcasts 12 million max but the Dreamcast was very good at clipping polygons that were not viewable. The raw pixel and texture fillrate were much higher in the PS2 as well, but the Dreamcast did have the 8 MB of dedicated VRAM which allowed for very nice textures potentially, but the PS2 wins out on all accounts however it was harder to program for. The DC was an excellent system for it's release date though (fall 98 in Japan, Fall 99 US)
nothing beats f-355.still unmatched even today.physics out of this world.i just bought a dreamcast and the ferrari game just to have it again.not null dc for me.play it right.
it produced polygons at a faster rate, however the graphical style is very different, with favours for both consoles depending on different games, its all down to what you prefer really
@kingstonlj you're right, the DC was never pushed and i believe that the only bad thing on it is just one analogic, but the hardware itself is better than the PS2 for sure, with textures and such.
@LPsForNintendo You are partially right. FEw games output to 720p and 1080i only GT4 and I think Tourist Trophy. But NONE of the other bunch of games (98% of the PS2 library) had Progressive Scan. I have the component cables and try playing MGS2, MGS3, Yakuza, ICO, DEvil May Cry, they look PRETTY BAD. AND I MEAN BAD. PS2 was not meant to be played on HD it was designed to be played in SD 4:3 TVs. On the other hand Dreamcast had like 95% of its games 480p compatible with the VGA box.
Absolutely. Games are what sell systems. When it was PS1, N64, and Sega Saturn...the game that made me buy a Saturn (which I still play today) was (Capcom's) X-Men: Children of the Atom. The game that made my buy a Play Station...Crash Bandicoot: Warped and Metal Gear Solid. Game that made me buy N64?NBA Hangtime. (Because it was on a cartridge, no load times.)
For me it was N64 -> The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 For the Dreamcast it was Sonic Adventure and SoulCalibur For PS2 ...nothing... just DVD player and then Guitar Hero 2, later...
Maybe...but I did read that it was difficult to program. Yet, look at the great titles that were realeased for it. For me, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Radiant Silvergun, Mass Destruction, and Midway Arcade Classics. I'm thinking if people had more time with it (take your pick DC or SS) they could create great games.
Well said SuperSZ. It just confuses me to no end why government or corporate management does not use (what seems to be) common sense when it comes to things that people will use / buy. Your idea of a premium Dreamcast with DVD capabillity was brilliant (wanna' bet someone bought that up in the board meeting, but was shot down?). Another area Sega (and others) let us down...not bringing certain popular Japanese games to the USA. Take your pick of which ones they did not.
@dinizgames: yeah, but sadly the Dreamcast didnt had DVD. i think that was the key feature of the PS2. if it wouldve used CDs sega would still be around, and id have a dreamcast 2 instead of a PS3. that'd be awesome!!!!
Always loved this game it is hard always came 2nd. One time on the best oval circuit all the cars some how lived up side ways near the end with only a little gap for me to get through think it was a glitch
I don't get why, when SEGA knew that the PS2 would have DVD, why didn't they release a "premium" edition of the Dreamcast which would have included DVD (... and a free game, so that it could compete with the ps2). It would have been a little bit expensive, but with all the games already available at the time for the dreamcast plus the DVD they would have ruled
DVD killed the Dreamcast. They could have done it, but I would have been more expensive and everyone would flock to the PS2 even more. It was a lose/lose situation I think. Remember how the Xbox had HD-DVD?...which ended up being a failed format. Very similar stuff there.
@dinizgames No, they DID trust Sega. The only company that didn't produce for the Dreamcast was EA - because Sega refused to let them be the only company to produce sports games for the Dreamcast. Sega had to stop support the Dreamcast because they just didn't had the breath anymore to pay the whole stuff around a console - promotion and so on. Because the Arcade division started to lose money (Arcade is VERY important to Sega). They had to shut down their SegaWorlds in 2000 as well.
@dinizgames true, but if you compare this game, which is a second gen dreamcast game, to gt3, which is also a sencong gen game for ps2, gt3 looks ALOT better. and they both came out about a year after their respective game systems were released. Anyway, gameplay matters more than graphics, and that is the main reason for it's demise. Timespliters for ps2 may have looked like crap, but gameplay was fast, funny, smooth and highly addictive.
By that point in time, SEGA had been in the red side of the economical balance for three years, and their number of debt was passing the three digit million number. SEGA's last hope as a console maker would've been that the early release of the DC would've moved customers buy systems en-masse until the (delayed) release of the PS2. SEGA's rep had gotten hurt with past "failures" in the west (32X, Saturn). People (read, idiots) decided to wait, staying with the PS1 until it's successor came out.
@42crazyguy But if you look at the games, I think most of the people didn't regret to buy a PS2, so they didn't feel the need to look back to the Dreamcast. The DC simply had no real reason to buy it like GT, GTA or Metal Gear. Sonic can't beat that.
The only thing the PS2 had over the DC is a DVD player.Other than that the games looked just as good and in some cases better than PS2 games.The Specs don't prove much of anything.
(sorry for bad english) why "like ps2"? Dreamcast had 8mb of video memory, double than ps2 (4mb), and about the processor, even if his one was slower (200mhz on DC, 295mhz on PS2) the DC used a Super sampling system more andvanced than his rivals (that allow a best simplification of the 3d scene beyond player view), that doesn't meat that it would be better than xbox, but, i'm pretty sure about that feature got the potential to fill that power leak againts ps2
Back in October 2000, after one year of DC, I bought a PS2. I used it so rarely that I gave it as a present to my grandchildrens and got back to DC. It still works today, a jewel.
5:40 "Don't buy a Playstation now, go buy a Dreamcast..." -Mark
Still stands true today.

SwankeyMonkey PS2> Dreamcast
SwankeyMonkey cool story bro
SwankeyMonkey Shenmue,jet grind raidio, pso> glorified dvd player
Its a pleasure to work hard driving the
circuits in this game. Seen a few weekends
with no sleep mastering the circuits this
very year. The simplicity of this simulation
game brings something of the purity and
grit of being a sports car racing driver.
You will always start a race in eighth place. To take the lead is a challenge and to hold that pace is a greater feat. The signature heavy metal track from the game its .."gonna take you for a ride". A ride to remember! Thank you CGR!!
16 years old and still looking good!
"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. Why don't you have a seat over there."
Got the Dreamcast running right now.
The best Dreamcast racing game i've ever played.
My son & I played the arcade version of this at California Extreme, last year. It is amazing! I never knew this came out on the DC!? Once I (finally) get my home stuff set up, I'll have to search for this game! Happy new year
Remember playing that in the arcades with my friends, we took turns to see who could get the fastest laps and we also tried to drift in it... I miss the arcades...
Ferrari F355 and Metropolis Street Racer are two of the best driving games on any console, period - and they were both on Dreamcast. 💪
to this day one of the best racing games still out there. so realistic and hard. still worth playing!
i really miss the sega dreamcast now.......
one of the most realistic racers ever, not to mention easily one of the best looking games of the last generation, almost as impressive as GT3 on PS2, but less jaggy. Dreamcast couldn't handle it my a**.
anyone else notice that the 3-2-1 beeps just before the race begins are the same on outrun, as well as the engine sounds?
the first and best ever great simulator.
I had NO IDEA the Sega Dreamcast had games that looked this good, & the gameplay/physics look insanely good! If I had of known this I would have BEGGED my parents EVERY day until they game in or put me up for adoption & I would beg my new parents as well! Im so sad I missed out!!
I so miss classic game room.
The Dreamcast has hi-res texture compression, which meant that a dev had 64mbs to play with. This compression was a really big positive.
The actual image quality of the DCs best games is better than PS2. The PS2 has 32mbs to play with and low-res textures etc.. It has to use tricks to make environments - which leads to that gritty blocky look.
Overall, the DC was never pushed, so there could have been even better visuals on the system. The PS2 had DVD - and that's what people wanted.
Hey, they re-used that starting signals in Outrun 2006! Very nice!
And now 22 years old and still looking good - I miss CGR
Weird to think this review is nearly 19 years old.
I'll be playing this game soon.👍😃
Nice review guys.
Did you like it?
@@HALFSQUASHED Yeah. It is really good. But racing against the cpu cars, and trying to get 1st place, can be tough. They drive really good. x_X
This is an amazing racing game. you know why ? Produced by Yu Suzuki.... Please support his latest masterpiece on kickstarter SHENMUE 3 !!!
What do you think of shenmue 3?
One of my favorite driving games ever. Had the Dreamcast and a MadCatz wheel. My first exposure to a simulation game. Was addicted. Still a top 3 all-time driving fave for me... Someday I will buy one of those great F355 challenge arcade units...
best driving game of all time even today, long life the legendary producer YU SUZUKI :) thank you so much for this best simulator ever
Just watched this review after the
CGRHD Racepro review. The F355
review is one of my favourite CGR
reviews and the game also totally
rocks dude!
that awkward moment when a 2000 dreamcast game has better graphics then 2013 Gran Turismo 6. Ok, maybe not as good, But pretty damn close.
Obi-Wan Kannabis not even close..., gran turismo 3! looked better than this, and it came out 1 year later
Battlefield 1942 Argentina no it didn't. Vga f355 looks better than anything ps2
shenmue 2 on VGA 480p graphics also looks absolutely gorgeus! even today the game is beautiful
test drive le mans on DC looks better than gran turismo 3 imo (with VGA the graphics looks like XBOX games)
Bullshit, games like GT3 and even NFS Underground look better than this
this game was the shit back in the day i still pop this in the DC when im bored of Ferrari challenge on ps3. no matter how many simulators there are these days this game still kick ass. Yu Suzuki please make a sequel this game is the best simulator ever but for the sequel add a testarossa.
hahah great advice on buying the dreamcast over ps2 here mark
Vortexiii no stop ✋
5 Stars, just for that rocking opening tune XD
I love these :) Thanks for the uploads my friend :S
the greatest racing game of all time.
elr2141979 F-Zero GX is the best racing game of all time. But this one is also amazing! Looks really good even today for a Dreamcast game. Also 480p 60fps gameplay!
retrofan I agree wholeheartedly with you for numerous reasons. GX is a masterpiece. But I prefer to keep a division between arcade racers such as F-Zero and sim-like racers like this and Gran Turismo, separate.
If I remember correctly the deluxe cabinet would also print out your racing details for the course you took.
i just play the game yesterday in a arcade with a cluth and gears amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game still looks and plays wonderfully even today. Man, I loved playing this at a buddy's house years ago, I should really buy a copy, as my DC and Genesis are currently hooked-up!:)
I am a huge Dreamcast fanboy and I've been looking for an excuse to extend the life of it and this is the game I chose to do so.

I've had the game for ages but never gave it a chance until now.
This game was frickin amazing. It's still awesome.
Holy crap, never knew about the DaysofThunder code.
I love this game.
Yes, the Dreamcast had a VGA adapter. It allowed many Dreamcast games to have a higher resolution output. Totally playable on HDTV!!! Oh yea!
I bet this looks amazing with the vga box/vga cable.
I can confirm that it does
Never got this for the Dreamcast, but I loved this game in the arcade!
How many people went out and got a Dreamcast and were like, oh gee thanks for the advice Mark.
I did. and I still have it to this day
LMFAO Mark drove a Neon?
...like me! 😔
Well goddamn, mark. If only people had YOUR mindset: Go with the console that's the cheapest and has the best GAMES, NOT FEATURES, GRAPHICS, etc.! I'm proud to say I got my Dreamcast Christmas '99. Fact is, the Dreamcast did not fail those who thought it would flop eventually. THEY failed the Dreamcast.
Mark, you should do a video telling us what the best Dreamcast games are to look out for.
I was wanting to know what's the song at the end of the video, that starts at 7:51, though I don't have a name, it apparently is song number 4 in the game soundtrack.
I was just playing Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on my PS3 and decided to try out the Suzuka track in F355 on my DC for comparison sake and wow the physics are still up there when all aids are off.

i think this game had a clutch in the arcade version, that was cool. Heel toe!!
is there a way to hook up a dreamcast on a HD TV? because there isnt a port on the back which the dreamcast cable fits in to.
I remember playing this in an arcade and it had the surround screen and I can't remember playing any other game for so long in an arcade.
Best game ever.
best racing game ever done
Watching in 2022 thinking this game looks good - now to play it on my phone! 🤗
Laguna Seca Skies after a Nuke Strike?
@dinizgames how did come about acquiring this information ?
Not really, the PS2 could do 66 mil polygons vs the Dreamcasts 12 million max but the Dreamcast was very good at clipping polygons that were not viewable. The raw pixel and texture fillrate were much higher in the PS2 as well, but the Dreamcast did have the 8 MB of dedicated VRAM which allowed for very nice textures potentially, but the PS2 wins out on all accounts however it was harder to program for. The DC was an excellent system for it's release date though (fall 98 in Japan, Fall 99 US)
DC was under powered and released too early. I don't think it could've handled GTA3 or games beyond 2001.
nothing beats f-355.still unmatched even today.physics out of this world.i just bought a dreamcast and the ferrari game just to have it again.not null dc for me.play it right.
it produced polygons at a faster rate, however the graphical style is very different, with favours for both consoles depending on different games, its all down to what you prefer really
no, it only runs at VGA 640x480 but its 480 progressive and not 480i.
@kingstonlj you're right, the DC was never pushed and i believe that the only bad thing on it is just one analogic, but the hardware itself is better than the PS2 for sure, with textures and such.
@raghraghragh1 actually not that much, it was in 1999 wich is just 1 year before PS1, the price didn't changed that much
Ahhh the F355, a rich mans MR2
I love that camera view.
woot dreamcast! forever may f355 challenge rock!
You guys should of played this online as well, that was awesome! Its a shame that the servers are offline now =[
I used to love playing this in the arcade
Is this game still the best Realistic Simulator to date?
Compared to modern games like Forza and GT5 Prologe?
just bought this, can't wait, hope it's good :)
@LPsForNintendo You are partially right. FEw games output to 720p and 1080i only GT4 and I think Tourist Trophy. But NONE of the other bunch of games (98% of the PS2 library) had Progressive Scan. I have the component cables and try playing MGS2, MGS3, Yakuza, ICO, DEvil May Cry, they look PRETTY BAD. AND I MEAN BAD. PS2 was not meant to be played on HD it was designed to be played in SD 4:3 TVs. On the other hand Dreamcast had like 95% of its games 480p compatible with the VGA box.
Absolutely. Games are what sell systems. When it was PS1, N64, and Sega Saturn...the game that made me buy a Saturn (which I still play today) was (Capcom's) X-Men: Children of the Atom. The game that made my buy a Play Station...Crash Bandicoot: Warped and Metal Gear Solid. Game that made me buy N64?NBA Hangtime. (Because it was on a cartridge, no load times.)
For me it was N64 -> The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64
For the Dreamcast it was Sonic Adventure and SoulCalibur
For PS2 ...nothing... just DVD player and then Guitar Hero 2, later...
you should do a Jet Grind Radio review, that games t3h best
amazing graphics but yeah they need to have a person fly though the windshield and run back like road rash when they slam into a wall
Maybe...but I did read that it was difficult to program. Yet, look at the great titles that were realeased for it. For me, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Radiant Silvergun, Mass Destruction, and Midway Arcade Classics. I'm thinking if people had more time with it (take your pick DC or SS) they could create great games.
i love this game so much that i have both dreamcast and ps2 versions of this
@dinizgames ok, the dreamcast may have a better output res, but it cannot produce as visually technical graphics as the ps2.
Well said SuperSZ. It just confuses me to no end why government or corporate management does not use (what seems to be) common sense when it comes to things that people will use / buy. Your idea of a premium Dreamcast with DVD capabillity was brilliant (wanna' bet someone bought that up in the board meeting, but was shot down?). Another area Sega (and others) let us down...not bringing certain popular Japanese games to the USA. Take your pick of which ones they did not.
I don't remember the graphics being this good when I played the Triplewide version at a arcade. It was fucking awesome though :D
I love the Testarossa too!
dreamcast have VGA cable
there may be other video cables also
s video or component
@dinizgames:
yeah, but sadly the Dreamcast didnt had DVD.
i think that was the key feature of the PS2.
if it wouldve used CDs sega would still be around, and id have a dreamcast 2 instead of a PS3. that'd be awesome!!!!
@aleste666 I don't remember the last time you drove cars inside... And I haven't found a place that has fences and trees inside.
wooo how i loved the intro song on this game...and still i think :)
A skies of arcadia review would be cool
@orewojamasuruna it was killed by the PS2, because the PS2 had a DVD player. If the Dreamcast had that, the PS2 would've been dead in the water.
MARK!! The El Camino is included the latest DLC for Forza 3!!!
Always loved this game it is hard always came 2nd. One time on the best oval circuit all the cars some how lived up side ways near the end with only a little gap for me to get through think it was a glitch

i love that car..ooh and the 328 gts
classic game room
ROCKS!!!!
sorry just had to say that
@dinizgames depends, some erly ps2 games looked awesome
@dinizgames true, but if you compare this game, which is a second gen dreamcast game, to gt3, which is also a sencong gen game for ps2, gt3 looks ALOT better. and they both came out about a year after their respective game systems were released.
Anyway, gameplay matters more than graphics, and that is the main reason for it's demise. Timespliters for ps2 may have looked like crap, but gameplay was fast, funny, smooth and highly addictive.
@opensourceplz maybe it was highly rated because you could make cars in that game
Remember why SEGA went into the market in the first place, to bring the arcade experience to the home? Anyways why change something that works?
By that point in time, SEGA had been in the red side of the economical balance for three years, and their number of debt was passing the three digit million number.
SEGA's last hope as a console maker would've been that the early release of the DC would've moved customers buy systems en-masse until the (delayed) release of the PS2.

I remember play this with my dad xD
I Played this at Dave N Busters Cleveland
also it had better resolution , almost all dreamcast games were 640x480 , and ps2 had some games that were 512x448 , like ssx 3.
0:36 :O OMG is that a limited edition? :OOO xD
