Revolutionary Dreamcast Game of 2000
NFL 2K1
Sega

Hmmm...let's see....fantastic graphics, terrific gameplay, new Franchise mode...oh yeah, and you can play it online. This historic game breaks on through to the other side and runs away from the competition as the first fully networkable console game. The trash talking is worth the price alone!

Best Dreamcast Game - Action
Jet Grind Radio
Sega

When style and substance collide, great things happen. In this case, it's called Jet Grind Radio. Jaw-dropping graphics and excellent gameplay lead to hours of fun. The best use of spray paint since Beat Street, hands down.

Best Dreamcast Game - Adventure
Shenmue
Sega

Yu Suzuki's sweeping epic makes huge leaps in terms of interactivity. Amazing graphics, diverse gameplay and a gripping story offer a glimpse into the future of console adventure gaming. We can't wait for the sequel.

Best Dreamcast Game - Fighting
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Capcom

In a very tight race, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 edges out Dead or Alive 2 as the fighting game of the year. With a ton of characters and well-refined gameplay, this is the pinnacle of the 2D fighting genre.

Best Dreamcast Game - Racing
San Francisco Rush 2049
Midway

In the crowded DC racing field, one game stood out and captured our hearts. We were surprised to find out it was SF Rush 2049. With tons of shortcuts, hordes of game modes and good presentation, this crosses the finish line first.

Best Dreamcast Game - RPG
Grandia II
Ubi Soft

Dreamcast RPG fans rejoice! Grandia II is the triumphant sequel to our PSX RPG of 1999. A brilliant combat engine coupled with outstanding graphics lead to our pick of the year.

Best Dreamcast Game - Sports
NFL 2K1
Sega

There were a lot of solid sports games for the Dreamcast this year, but none were as good as NFL 2K1. Also wins our Game of the Year award. Is there really anything more to say?
