They were part of the same development and most of Shenmue 2 was complete before Shenmue 1 was even released.

Exactly. Carrier isn't excellent, but it's still an enjoyable game, and infinitely better than The Ring: Terror's Realm. I liked it when I played it, and I appreciated the few ideas it added to the formula, such as targeted fire, a taser pistol, and the scope, which could spot infections in people but was also useful for looking around corners in a first person view. I got a kick out of using it to look down corridors that the fixed camera angles kept me from being able to see.
I agree plus where else you get to hear a Regis Philbun clone voice acting...lol I would of loved a part 2 if the DC didnt meet its undeserved demise.
Curtsy when you walk by that Dreamcast

Plasma Sword (Star Gladiator 2) is a pretty fun fighter. Def nott the best the console has to offer but its fun. I find the soundtrack to be fantastic! Very old school Capcom tunes.

Not worth starting a thread so maybe you guys can help me out. Could you recommend some racing games for the Dreamcast?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Re-Volt is awesome on PC. I'd assume it is at least decent on DC.

I'm a big fan of Carrier, too. It's one of those games I picked up in the bargain bin for dirt cheap, and was pleasantly surprised with it.

It's a complete old-school Resident Evil rip-off, but it's a VERY well done one.

Sure! I'd recommend Sega Rally 2, Daytona USA, Metropolis Street Racer and Sega GT. Those are the big titles that I'm familiar with, although I have heard good things about Re-Volt and Rush 2049.
