Well the day is upon us Chu Chu Rocket is here. What the hells the point?? Well you need to guide you little Chu Chu’s (mice) into your rockets. Thus was born Chu Chu Rocket. Its sort like lemmings type they hit the wall they follow the wall. So you need to guide them by placing arrows. Sounds simple but gets complicated and fast paced when online and in harder settings.
Genre:Puzzle
Developer:Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Available:2.1.00
Format:1 GD-Rom
Players:1

Graphically the graphics weren’t wonderful. Well hey its a puzzle game. I seem to be a little lax on grading games of this genre. The graphics are 2-D but are fast paced. Lots of stuff happens when you are playing. Flashy is the keyword. So not much to complain about here.

The control was easy to use after you get used to it. The analog stick moves the cursor and the buttons place the arrows which the Chu Chu’s follow. You can also use the keyboard which I prefer. Very simple and easy to use. The hard part about it is mastering the controls. If you want to win you’re going to need to haul ass.

The Replay that comes with the game is tremendous. With modes such as online and 4 player and those damn hard challenge stages there just so much to do. Online mode is probably the best aspect of the game. Its so much fun whipping your friends ass in that and 4 player split screen. To make things short you will find something interesting on this game that you will enjoy.

Sega’s first real time online game is one hell of a game. For $30 its also a damn good deal. While it may not seem like much graphically, or game play wise, it really offers something unique and different to the Dreamcast library. As with Sega trying to bring different genres to the videogame industry with games such as Crazy Taxi, Tokyo Bus Driving, Roommania #203, Samba De Amigo and Seaman, Chu Chu Rocket is no exception. Can Sonic Team make anything wrong. Well no. Also on another note, if you want to play Chu Chu against others I encourage you all to join OSGA an online Sega Gamers club. They do tourneys etc.

Graphics: 86 It does the job fine with no slowdown. Its a puzzle game why should I complain?
Sound: 85Nice and peppy. But can get annoying on occasions.
Control: 96Easy to use. Also compatible with DC keyboard a definite plus.
Replay: 98 Too many modes so little time.
Overall : 96 One of Sega’s best. More addictive than Crazy Taxi. (Boy I’m going to hear it for that one :)
