List of DC RPG's and games worth getting

Hi,

Could you give me a list of Dreamcast RPG's mostly and also what other games I should buy. I'm also looking for imports (preferrably some with not too much reading since I dont read Japanese).

Looking back the DC had some great titles. I'll break it down between must-haves, nice-to-haves, too-cheap-to-pass, and imports.

Must Haves:
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia II
Shenmue
Virtual Tennis
Soul Calibur
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Tokyo Xtreme Racing I and II
Worms World Party
Phantasy Star Online I and II
Sonic Adventure I and II
Rayman II
Chu Chu Rocket
MDK 2
Jet Grind Radio
Metropolis Street Racer
Power Stone I and II
Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Nice To Haves:
Record of Lodloss War
Resident Evil II and III
Dino Crisis
Aerowings I and II
Alone in the Dark 4
Carrier
Starlancer
Samba de Amigo (only if you can find it with the maracas)
Crazy Taxi I and II
Capcom vs. SNK
D2
Dead or Alive 2
Bangai-O
Echo The Dolphin
Ferrari F355 Challenge
Last Blade 2
Looney Toons: Space Race
Ooga Booga
Rush 2049
Sega Bass Fishing (if you can find the fishing controller, but not necessary)
Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves
SFIII: Third Strike
Tech Romancer
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram
Wacky Races
Zombie Revenge

Too Cheap To Pass:
Armada
Legend of Kain: Soul Reaver
Sword of Beserk
Evolution I and II
Fur Fighters
Illbleed
Maken X
ReVolt
Seaman
Sega Rally 2
Space Channel 5
Sega Sports Jam
TrickStyle

RPGs: didn't play any but Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia are supposed to be the best.

Worth Playing:

Soul Calibur (best fighting game ever, period.)
Rayman 2 (one of the best 3D platformers ever, DC version is best)
NBA2K2
NFL2K2
Virtua Tennis
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Seaman (interesting vitual pet title with voice interaction)
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (repetitive puzzles, lots of time wandering figuring out where to go, but still pretty cool and the DC version is best)
Crazy Taxi (mindless fun).

That's about it for me. As I said in other threads, I loved my DC but wasn't as gaga over it as a lot of people. Probably because I'm not a huge sega game fan. For instance I didn't like Sonic Adventure that well, and hated Sonic Adventure 2, Jet Grind Radio and Shenmue.

I didn't see House of the Dead II mentioned - HOTD2, Confidential Mission, and Virtua Cop II (on the Sega Smash Pack) are all great lightgun games, in case you're interested.

Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II are great RPGs - I never really could get into Shenmue though.

Wow, nobody mentioned PowerStone 2 for some reason. I think in some aspects, that game is better than SSBM.

*edit
oops n/m someone did mention it. :P

Duh! Forgot Guilty Gear X (Import). If you can't get your hands on the PS2 version, this is the second best thing.

Not RPGs, but deserve a big thumbs up:

Soul Caliber
Crazy Taxi

(I'm not into fighting or driving games that much, but I love these two)
