Air Force Delta DC

Konami
Select from more than 30 different fighters as you take to the skies to defend a newly independent republic from its many enemies--for fame, for glory, and most of all: for a price.
Konami's Air Force Delta features simplistic controls with an emphasis on supersonic fighter plane action rather than the mechanics of flight. Those who worry about flap positions and realistic spin modeling won't find either here, but armchair top guns will enjoy the game's shoot-'em-up feel and ultrarealistic graphics.
You assume the role of a mercenary pilot flying missions with very specific goals, such as destroying a convoy of ships or knocking reconnaissance planes out of the sky. Taken one by one, these missions are enjoyable and engaging, but they are all pretty similar and quickly become bland. Succeeding in a mission earns credits to buy new planes--more than 30 beautifully modeled real-world aircraft are available. Unfortunately, the differences between the fighters are mostly cosmetic. While you may find a plane that performs better in a certain mission than others, they all pretty much fly the same way.
The graphics are impressive--but things tend to move too fast to afford much sightseeing. In particular, the fighters are extremely detailed and authentic. The first time you see vapor trails form on your wingtips as you pull a high-g maneuver, your jaw will drop and you'll begin to insist that your friends call you "Maverick."
Air Force Delta is a good "show-off-your-Dreamcast" game that could probably have benefited from a little more time in development. However, it's the perfect game for a quick flying fix. --Aaron Karp
Pros:
- Lots of fighter aircraft
- Impressive graphics at close range
- Very cool, cinematic "mission reply" option
Cons:
- Bland campaign
- Not enough variety among planes
Rainbow Six DC

Majesco Sales Inc.
As first-person shooters go, Rainbow Six is to Dreamcast what GoldenEye 007 is to the Nintendo 64: the most innovative and intriguing title of its kind for the platform. Borrowed from Tom Clancy's novel of the same name, Rainbow Six offers a fascinating first-person adventure through lush worlds and highly detailed environments that have yet to be seen on gaming consoles. But don't stop to smell the roses too often or you'll end up staring down the business end of an oncoming Stinger missile.
You command an elite antiterrorism force through a series of stealth and action missions. Sometimes you will need to sneak through a foreign embassy in the dark with your night vision goggles on, while other times you'll need to launch a full-on weapons attack on your enemies. The game does both types of missions well, but you'll have to spend some time planning with your team before you start each level. Plotting out missions in advance and positioning team members lends a unique real-time strategy feel to the already excellent shooter aspect of the game.
As the team leader, you are solely responsible for making sure each mission goes well. Direct and protect your squad, save any hostages who might be hanging around, and accomplish your main mission objectives. The latter may include sabotage, simple spying, or even assassinations. Good luck. --Bill Hutchens
Pros:
- Perfect mix of first-person shooting and strategy
- Complex environments
- Foes boast realistic intelligence
Cons:
- No multiplayer support
- Multiple objectives are sometimes overwhelming

Conflict Zone: Peace Makers

Ubi Soft

Make love, not war... well, sort of. The online real-time strategy gameConflict Zone challenges players to navigate through sketchy political situations in an effort to avoid conflict. As a member of the InternationalCorps of Peace, you will face civil and ethnic conflicts that require political and/or military intervention. Conflict Zone features multiple missions to conquer--but, the task won't be easy. There are many complex variables that must be considered as you determine your peace-making strategy. Is the public opinion on your side? What about military funding? What are your weapon resources? Play solo or go head-to-head with other players via SegaNet.
Hidden & Dangerous

TalonSoft
Saving the world from Nazi tyranny on the Dreamcast has never been this interesting or complicated. However, it's not the World War II goose steppers of Hidden and Dangerous that are the worst of your troubles. Rather, it's the high learning curve and general lack of intelligence of the men under your command.
As a leader of up to four of the finest fictional soldiers in Great Britain's Royal SAS, you must outfit and lead your men deep into enemy territory, fulfilling mission goals that rely more on stealth and speed than a quick trigger finger. By the way, your men can be picked off with one bullet, so watch where and how you step.
Since you are leading four individual troops, you might guess controlling them would be problematic. You'd be right. Every button on the Dreamcast controller is used multiple ways, and it will take a while to get used to controlling your troops. Thankfully, most controls can be accessed via a Dreamcast keyboard, which lessens the control problems. If you survive learning the interface, you'll find that Hidden and Dangerous's movielike musical score and atmosphere (thanks to nice graphics) make it quite absorbing, especially compared to the similar Rainbow Six.
Oddly, your men have a tendency to become trapped in corners, get run over by trains, and react very slowly when getting shot at. Occasionally, they'll float on nothing at all. These are all bugs that were in the PC version and should've been squashed before being released on the Dreamcast. Such sloppiness really does hurt the overall fun in Hidden and Dangerous. Instead of bringing home the Congressional Medal of Honor, the game scores a Purple Heart. --Mark Brooks
Pros:
- Interesting plot and nice graphics
- Soundtrack sounds like an old Hollywood WWII film
- Once you get used to the interface, Hidden and Dangerous can become quite absorbing
Cons:
- Ludicrously steep learning curve--unless you have a Sega keyboard
- Subordinate troops lack adequate artificial intelligence
- No improvements over the PC version

Wild Metal

Not Available
Perhaps a better name for this game would be Mild Metal, because playing it won't likely raise your temperature. Playing this enjoyable mission-based tank game is rather meditative, in that players are required to think tactically in order to reach their goals. Don't expect to be wowed by graphics or sound effects, but do bring your brain for this old-school treasure hunt that looks and feels much more like a PC game than a Dreamcast title.
To beat each level, players must drive a tank around large, hilly, desolate areas while scooping up precious containers of glowing energy capsules before dropping them off at your home base. This game challenges the player with a wildly varying elevation and drab-colored terrain. The control scheme for shooting is also tough to tackle. Players fire their tank's cannon by pressing a button, but holding the button down will increase the angle of trajectory. Not only that, the energy capsules are often obstructed, requiring all sorts of physical puzzle solving to get at them. While not exactly thrill-a-minute, this game has plenty of depth and challenge to keep thoughtful gamers happy for quite some time. --Jeff Young
Pros:
- New control scheme
- Impressive explosions
- Fun puzzle solving gameplay
Cons:
- Drab graphics and sound fail to excite the senses
