I wasn't that impressed with many games on it, even Sega Rally 2, it was a weak performance compared to the Model 3 version, just the standard early PS2 racers like Vrally 3 and Need for speed hot pursuit 2 and WRC, the art was much better than in Dreamcast racers and some of the other games like Ooga Booga where absolute rubbish. Shemue 2 was good, they put a effort into that.
I am the original retro game dork.
