Sega's had some OK games, but I definitely don't blind buy their stuff. Some last gen well rated titles were Monkey Ball, and Yakuza. I think MB has been run into the ground a bit although some people do like the wii version.

As for SEGA post millennium...I think the only game I really enjoyed was "Outrun 2" (and C2C).

I thought the first Sonic Adventure game was really great. It wasn't perfect, but I thought it was a decent transition to 3d for the hedgehog. The Dreamcast being the first console with enough power to make 3d not look like shit, some of the levels were breathtaking at the time. And the speed was there too.
I wonder if it still holds up?

Sega made the Saturn... and the Saturn has Radiant Silvergun and Soukyugurentai and a bajillion other shooters. Therefore, you can't hate them... ever.

For starters, I had completely abandoned Sega after the 32X debacle and had bypassed the Saturn... so when the Dreamcast was announced, I scoffed at it initially. Then, a friend of mine who owned an independent video game store got an import Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure and basically forced me to sit and play the game.
"You don't understand, Pete. Play the game. See the graphics. Hear the sound, man. This is next-generation stuff. Just try it."
It took me about 10 minutes to get into the game, mainly because everything was in Japanese and I didn't have any idea of what to do. Once I started playing in Stage 1, though... WOW. The textures were far, far better than anything I had seen before on a console. The game was FAST... like Sonic was supposed to be. There were genuine OMG moments in the game, too... like the self-propelled run over the piers as a killer whale charges after you... or when running on a rollercoaster-like track in Windy Valley.
I began working as a store manager for FuncoLand that same year, and when we got our demo DC unit, it came with a full version of Sonic Adventure. I remember playing after closing some nights, trying to beat the game and just having a blast.
I bought my Dreamcast for Sonic Adventure... although I wound up buying a ton of other games, too. NFL Blitz 2000, Hydro Thunder, Ready 2 Rumble, NFL 2K, and Soul Calibur. I trusted in Sega again, only to be bitten in the ass again in early 2001 when Sega pulled the plug.
Sonic Adventure was great, in my opinion... but the sequel had "SUCK" written all over it. Those treasure hunts with Knuckles were a total failure. Boo.
