Rating: - Fun Fun Fun!
Chu Chu Rocket is a great puzzle game to play with friends or by yourself I personally had a blast playing it with some friends...Really great game..
To make this short and sweet this isn't THE BEST game but it really is a fantastic game to play with friends or family and is a great Dreamcast Game...I also recommend Sonic Adventure and Jet Grind Radio which are some really fun games too.
This game gets a 4.0 cause I really enjoyed it. It was fun, it didn't try to be hard or easy just pure fun...
Lates..

this game is pretty cool, dispite the name, but it's still overated. i honestly thought this was a game for a five year old the first time i saw it but it proved me wrong. the multiplayer mode is much better than the individual mode. a very annoying thing is the mice. they just go around and around in circles, which i guess is the point, but it can get really annoying sometimes but if you want a fun multiplayer game go ahead and buy this game! it's not that expensive and it's pretty darn fun on top of that!

a brain teaser for one-player games and an all out slugfest for 4. chu chu rocket and bust a move 4 are the main reasons i haven't sold off my dreamcast yet. a word of warning though, your brain will feel like mush after an hour or so of this intensely fast paced rampage. for those of you who worry do to the lack in graphics... it bothered me only before i started playing... after that you realize that any more detail would make the game a sensory overload (which it already is (in a good way)). get it and have fun!

This is a fun, clever puzzler game. It's cheap, it's on Dreamcast--if you are lucky enough to find it. I would not advise spending more than 10 dollars for it. There's a fair amount of 1P puzzles to keep you busy, they become more challenging, I think there should've been more still. 2-4Player is a nice brand of chaos, it doubles as one of the top Party Games. Thankfully, you can turn down the speed to quite slow, but you cannot remove '?' Mice for mode-changing in a game, you can only choose Normal or Many, but you soon realize the question marked mice are the name of the game. You'll have fun for awhile, but the modes are awkward and unvarying. There are no good graphics and ONLY ONE cinema scene, which appears shortly when a game ends. There should have at least been a start-up scene with mice scurrying into a rocket in 3d. Strangely enough, the back of the game GD shows the game in the most pathetic jpeg ever, can't SEGA get a decent shot of their own game for the GD case? Worth buying, at least rent, it's not for everyone, but it's a lot like Worms World Party. There isn't a random level generator, either. Only the colors really change. If you like having to work frantically fast at something difficult, this is for you, but I don't care for the main attraction as much as I did the 1P puzzles. This was given away for free in other places, and I think that's how it should have been distributed, it's good fun, but comes off as just a glorified mini-game, they could've fit it into Sonic Adv. 2. Compared to Mario Party 4 which has 50 mini-games, Chu Chu is just one. It's not quite Chess or Tetris, but it's worth picking up.
- pretty darn fun
