Underrated is the wrong word i'll admit...Under appreciated is more like it...Mother Yeti said:

Love the Dreamcast and won't buy Sony products 'cuz I blame them for it's failure and I can really hold a grudge, but games:
1.Sega Smash Pack, even though you can get most if not all games from the Sega Sonic Collection
2.MDK II, hilarious and fun game with a 4-armed badass dog
3.Sonic Shuffle, like Mario Party, but I like it more
4.Space Channel 5, a dancing game where the main character is called Ulala, amazing
5.Virtua Fighter 3tb, fighting game where you can actually figure out the controls
6.Sega Bass or Sega Marine fishing, somehow they're fun even though I hate fishing
7.Any Sega Sports game was over par for the genre
8.Slave Zero, f'ing hard giant robot game with a cool opressive overlord storyline
9.You don't have Sonic Adventure, it's better than 2, you need it
10.Psychic Force 2012, flying fighting game with a comic like storyling, hella fun
11.Fur Fighters, fluffy animals with bad mouths and guns, and one of them is a baby dragon
Etc... Other than these listen to what everyone else is saying, they're putting some awesome games out there

Crazy Taxi was OK, and so was Test Drive 6 and 4x4 Evolution. However, if you want a superb racing game, even by todays standards, start hunting for Monaco Gran Prix. Some of the crash physics may be a little off, but the gameplay and visuals put it on the platform with Forza, with Need for Speed, even Gran Turismo.
And by hunting, I mean hunting. Then when you find it, play it, and get tired of it, se it to me. Please.

Damn, you already said what I was going to say. Ive never played the game myself but Jet Set Radio was one of my favorite games for the xbox.MrBrightside919 said:
Powerstone 2 - Especially if you're gonna play multiplayer with friends, If not I recommend powerstone 1. Actually get both.
Skies of Arcadia - My favourite RPG of all time. I've still found nothing better than ship battles.
Chu Chu Rocket - Best multiplayer game by far.
Tech Romancer - I enjoyed it anyway, havn't played it for a while (my Dreamcast semi-broke)
Those are the ones I can think of off hand.

Shenmue I & II were the best games on Dreamcast, IMO.
Oh, and Soul Calibur - but you already own that.
I mean, when people talk about the Genesis, they usually go on about how Chu Chu Rocket pwnz, how Virtua Tennis is the best tennis sim ever, how Virtua Fighter 3tb is an awesome tournament fighter, etc. - all things the mainstream is essentially oblivious to. So that's a problem, but no moreso than the fact that Sonic Adventure was relatively mediocre - it getting near-perfect scores would've made a world of difference - and that when winners did come along, like Jet Grind Radio, Sega either promoted them poorly or it was either too late in the console's lifespan to matter.
Most game critics today, of course, still haven't caught on to the wealth of brilliant titles on Sega's varying consoles, evidenced by the failure of them to make top-100 games list, among other things (sans the obvious ones: "Gunstar Heroes", "Sonic", "Soul Calibur", "Panzer Dragoon Saga", or "Phantasy Star IV"). This is pretty funny, since I can think of a wealth of underrated Sega gems - even moreso on the Genesis than on the DC or Saturn - off the top of my head: "King's Bounty", "Vectorman", "Rocket Knight Adventures", "Virtua Racing", "Space Harrier", "OutRun", "Strider", etc.
Oh, and I'll let you in on a secret: the Genesis is as good a console as the SNES, just far less hyped.

There was alot of great games on the Dreamcast, it's just that most of them weren't easily marketable, and Sega still hadn't kicked its Genesis-era habit of refusing to aggressively advertise IPs that had potential.MrBrightside919 said:

These days it's pretty much just my Shenmue playing machine. Managed to snag 2 before it disappeared from history.
But Phantasy Star Online was pretty epic for its time.
Segagaga is the one i want to play,(rpg were you must make sega the biggest videogame company on earth, through the good old business method of turn based combat) but somehow i doubt an english language version will ever appear.
Sega have shown themselves to be one of the most original developers ever, but always seem to loose confidence in their best work and concentrate on stuff like "Sega Superstars Tennis" or "Mario and Sonic go to the Olympics and Play Shitty Party Games" or whatever. Fullon tragedy.

Quake 3: Arena, Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm and Wacky Races are all pretty fun to me and I only play single player.
OP
Ok so i've officially purchased Shenmue and Crazy Taxi off Amazon and they will be here in a few days, so we can cross them off the list. And everyone needs to stop saying Jet Grind Radio because like I said, I already have it. I was playing it last night

The Dreamcast also had the ONLY good Gundam game: Gundam Side Story ####... sorry I don't know the exact number/year.
