I spent many nights back in 1999 playing this game against friends. Back then the Dreamcast was king, and this was the best game on that system. Now, nearly 10 years later, the Dreamcast is (sadly) on a shelf in my closet. On the rare occasion when I did get those same friends together we'd break that game out, blow the dust off the dreamcast, hook it up, and play it. Now that it is on the 360, though, I can play it a lot easier. I agree it should have the missions and online, but the greatness of this game was player-vs-player sitting in the same room shouting at each other as we played. Well worth $10 to be able to do that without having to cable up the Dreamcast. Now I can just boot it off the 360 hard drive. It is still a lot of fun to play, and it is amazing to me how well the graphics hold up nearly 10 years later.
