    well it's a good Jump & RUn (really dark though), but the DC version is quite buggy, you might prefer the PC version...

    It's an ok 3d jump 'n run game. I liked the style but never really got into it. It's not a must have, from the non-us PAL games for the Dreamcast I would go for Headhunter, Rez and Shenmue 2. This are the onlty three games you really missed I think.

    Default on the other hand...

    from a technical standpoint and as a curiosity piece, i recommend it. it's definitely not perfect (the camera is very wonky, but it's manual so you can wrangle it about for tricky jumps), but if you appreciate darker themed games, you'll like it a bit. i thought it felt like a mix of rayman and american mcgee's alice. i liked the use of colors and stuff like leaves and papers blowing around levels, but it's pretty much a platformer with some mild adventure elements...

    when i saw this at e3 a few years back, i remeber seeing 3 versions running (dreamcast, pc and...), but i don't recall if the third wa playstation code or not. i know they didn't have a ps2 version planned at that stage from talking to people on the team...

    I think it's very decent, though DC version has some problems - whenever you're pausing, the music is restarting from the beginning.
    I played it mostly on pc, because I got it on computer first.
    cool game, with slight resemblence to alice, mood is kind of weird and dark.

    Yeah, it's definitely interesting if you can get it cheap. I think I paid about $20 or $25 for mine shipped. I haven't clocked much time into it, but it's the easiest version to run domestically and it's kind of cool. I don't know if the story gets good later but it looks like it could.
