  • You gotta love that era of video games where voice acting was still new to video games, and as a result was absolutely terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if the voice actors were just dev team members.

  • I love love love this game.

  • Just finished the game and I liked it. But I noticed, that you have red blood in the US version, while I am stuck with the European version, which uses green blood. Still very funny game. Kinda mix between RE Super Mario and Duke Nukem. lol

  • i remember when blue stinger was only in magazines i was like man this game is going to be INCREDIBLE!!!! then i played it and i was like, man this is TERRIBLE! lol.. i was having a hard time understanding how something with such amazing graphics could be so lame haha

  • First vid of yours I've watched. Subbed.

  • resident evil was a clone of alone in the dark though.

  • the game is actually not dubbed, it was english voices in the japanese version also.

  • just got this in the mail, I still haven't gotten a chance to play it. I would tight now but I'm watching an A Haunting marathon

  • I just came back to this review, as I remembered that this was the first HCG video I ever saw. And right after watching this, I subscribed. Man, I really really love your channel, it's the best console gaming one on youtube. No one delivers so much emotion and dedication to games than you do. Please please please keep it up. Really lookin forward to your movie. Greetings from a loyal german fan! :)

  • man i love this game me and my dad are still trying to finish this from the day it came out XD

  • If you love the voice acting in this you'll have a field day with Deep Fear for the Sega Saturn.

  • The Dreamcast is a pretty cool system. It has great games, and doesnt afraid of anything.

  • I'd like to see you play Digimon World 2. Not that it has anything to do with Blue Stinger... it's just a thought.

  • I loved this game! Strangely enough, my mom was the one who got the Dreamcast for herself, so we both played the hell out of this game. The Christmas music will stay with me for the rest of my life.

  • Has anyone else played the Japanese version of this? I happen to own it, and it's got more issues. They tried to use fixed camera angles, and whenever your guy enters a new angle, the controls fuck up. That, and the music overrides the voice acting during cutscenes.

  • I remember the graphics in this game looked incredible but alas I never did get to play it. One day...one day.

  • Just got this game 2 days ago, having so much fun. As I am a big fan of Illbleed, I just had to get this game too.

  • I find that carrier is a lot like dead space while blue stinger is a lot like deadly premonition, but that's just me.

  • One of the best games ever god I loved the dreamcast!

  • damnnn i remember this game. i miss my dreamcast :(

  • i loved the christmas level!

  • This is one of the first games I got for the DC back in the time. I loved it. Itstill brings me a nice nostalgic feeling. I mean, it may not be the best game in the Dreamcast library, but it is a lot of fun and, as you guys mentioned, the soundtrack is second to none, simply amazing! Thanks for the review!

  • I have always wondered about this game. Thanks guys!

  • This and Sonic Adventure i got on my Birthday, which just so happened to be 9/9/99. I fell in love with this game. Everything about it was new compared to any other game. Yes the voice acting sucked, i loved the music, i loved the christmas theme!. But this is truely one game that must be played by everyone who loves horror genre games. I dare you to fight the last boss without the beam gun. :P

  • dude you should make a video of playing all of your game from the begining to the end lol

  • I use to love this game but it would give me motion sickness for some reason, but i would still play the shit out of it.

  • I remember this game. I loved this game, it was so bad that i loved it. It was one of the few games where every bad thing about this game only made it better.

    It reminds me of the slasher movie Final Exam. If you've ever seen the movie then you'll know what i mean. It was horrible and that's what made it great.

  • i still remember playing this with my older brother the christmas mall thing will forever be burned in my brain lol

  • it took me so long to remember the name of this game, this game was the best back in the day!

  • This kinda reminds me of deadly premanition... Just a little bit

  • any one else find a lot of similarities between Blue stinger and Dead space?

  • @Kassadhy THATS funny you said that as I noticed it a bit too.

  • any reason for that? @HappyConsoleGamer 

  • @HappyConsoleGamer i can't read your comments without hearing your voice.

  • @Kassadhy The devs of Dead Space where probably growing up playing this ;D

  • Some correction to your video .. the first Clone of RE in 3D was Over Blood for ps1 ..

  • Great review guys, there was a lot of humourous moments. I remember that Blue Stinger was one of the first games I had for Dreamcast, I really couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried. Maybe I would appreciate it more now that I am a lot older. Doubt I am going to give it another try though.

  • i better buyed i think i see a copy for 1.5 in my local store!!

  • Haha, I loved that game, I still have it :D I wish there was more games like this these days...

  • Anyone else think these guys are cool? I mean most of the gamers you find on the internet are always so angry about some...typing all sorts of obscenities in caps and trolling....but these guys seem chill

  • I almost bought a Dreamcast cause of this game! The EGM magazine screens and preview had me salivating...but I was just a poor kid starting grade 9 so I never bought a DC :(

  • Thank you, u brought back a lot of dreamcast launch memories

  • I remember buying this game soon after it came out, taking it home, and laughing hysterically with my friend at how bad the whole thing was. We loved it for the same reason you guys love it: the awfulness of it it all. Good times.

  • this was my favorite game for dreamcast haha, i remember from when i was a kid used to play this with my dad... is till remember how i fukken hated the freezer level part

  • this was my favorite game for dreamcast,

  • its kinda sad video games dont really go "there" anymore as far as being really odd an weird, its all about realism now which is fine but sometimes you need some randomness

  • @karan6 Play Deadly Premonition for the 360!

  • I'm looking for this game as my 1# must have for dreamcast along with Grandia

  • if u look close in the background u can see lunar and lunar 2 silver star story and eternal blue

  • Blue stinger is the video game version of Planet Terror

  • Dreamcast console had 1 major flaw the felt inside of it would wear out causing yo discs to be scratched

  • Today you can buy weapons in vending machines and similar places in Dead Space and pretty much all survival horror games like this.

  • I just got my Dreamcast in the mail and it came with this game I'm holding it in my hands and the price sticker says RES EVL3 NMSIS PS xD

  • @teenagesewer just download the game dont waste money buying em

  • @Altezza447 Where's the fun in that?

  • Man such a fun game this was one of my first DC games.

  • @lokallize Its such a good game!  But my dreamcast is screwed up now lol

  • @Newellx66 hey, tell me whats wrong with your dreamcast. there's many ways to fix them for free. ive fixed a few back in the day. like reading problems, power problems, controller problems. all free solutions to those issues. unless your gd-rom is completely dead, but usually thats not the case. with my dreamcast i had to calibrate my drive by turning a tiny screw a little bit to the left or right. i forget. but my dreamcast still works, and i bought it in 99 :)

  • lmao i remember playing this on my mates cast lol

  • I LOVE games with bad VA

  • I hated this game. respawning enemies... ugh

  • i feel exactly the way these guys feel about this game. also remember the last boss? that thing was epic!

  • i was 7 & i loved this damn game!

  • i love this game its funy

  • @TheGamersWillRule how about you play valkyria chronicls

    madworld and house of the dead overkill

  • Oh so you did know that he died. I paused the video and wrote my first comment when you mentioned him. Sorry. I also see that you like ill bleed. It did look comical but it also seemed rather redundant. Time Stalkers though a visually nice game for its time, lacked the soul of Land Stalker.

  • @sozaj as a big dreamcast fan, id like to argue with u that time stalkers is a really osm game, but im afraid i just cant. Instead, ill just argue that its a nice shiny pebble (as opposed to a gem) that dreamcast fans will enjoy after they're done with skies of arcadia, grandia2 and are still looking for a good ol' rpg challenge to sink their dreamcast teeth into.

  • (Again) YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! I was about to ask you if you had heard of LandStalker, but Once I heard you guys say "Shinya Nishigaki" I thought to myself; "They know." Major Major Kudos. Shinya Nishigaki will be sorely missed by those who played Landstalker. I'm sure you know that he died in 2004. It's a shame because we will never have another game like that. And his last two games were not too good. Time Stalkers and Ill Bleed.

  • i don't care what anybody says, this game was weird, but it was the coolest most unique game i ever played. i loved the music, the weapons were very creative and the atmosphere that the game presented was just awesome. however, the fact that the sequal never made it really makes me sad, but at least we got this epic game outta that mans mind. Blue Stinger FTW!!

  • actully blue stinger game out a week b4 the dreamcast but i love tht games

  • fucking loved this game!

  • i want your dreamcast shirt :-)

  • I am so glad I had the pleasure of playing this game as a kid. Man it was so fun.

  • Great review. You guys really nailed it. Couldn't have said it better myself. It's a strange game, cheesy, but with a unique charm.

  • awkward controls, lame voice acting and script, and for some reason couldnt put it down... :S

  • ...whatever!

  • i used 2 have this game 4 the dream cast when i was like....8 years old & i used 2 play that freaking game ALL THE TIME!

  • one of the few games I had on DC, very random and weird

  • they messed up big time when they released the dreamcast too early :( it would hav competed well wid ps2,gamecube and xbox

  • Aww I really miss this ganme,,its by far on my top 5 favriot games...and I bet eliot was very thankful for the random super guns in the vendors xD

  • i know what their sayin, but to me.. this game was awful.

  • I'm thinking of getting a team together and making a sequel of this in source - Touching up the graphics , better music , better goddamn voice acting , and toning down on the B-movie-ness

  • I remember watching ym cousin play this.. I laughed so hard watching the pirate dressed in yellow... It was way too cheesy for me man lol. That and Carrier... wow the voice acting? Did they even get paid for doing that? lol

  • We need a remake of this game. Sure, a sequel would be good , but so many things in this is fucked up , ruining the awesomeness!

  • 1:30

    Dr Eggman!?!?!?

  • This game was great fun though dated by today's standards (especially from a control aspect). Gotta love the ridiculous cheesiness with giant floating coins and flaming roundhouse. Also this was the best graphics in 1999.

  • This is exactly what i felt when playing this game! lmao i loved this game it was like so great back in 1999

  • it was my first hooror game. probably my 3rd game ever. it still holds a place in my heart. i think i was like four.

  • God I love this game, haven't played it in ages, but I unlocked everything and man BIG EYE MODE FTW

    Go and get this game if your dreamcast is still living.

  • I bought this game at Launch. Mine actually worked...The reviewers hit it on the nail for anyone interested in this game...It has a certain quirkeness...Normally you would say this game sucked....But this is the thing in a strange cant exactly explain it...It doesnt its actually a pretty good unique game..A certain unexplainable Charm too it...try it you may like it...

  • i love this game, and i love illbleed ^^

  • one of the first games i ever had on my Hong Kong DC..remember i never got further than some big monster in a covered parking lot type place (?) lol i just played the first 20 mins earlier tonight...glad u mentioned the voice acting, it stands out as some of the worst u ever heard but brilliant despite it. like u say, everything is bad and wrong, but it has a certain atmosphere and feeling to it, somehow! Blue Stinger? Ring Stinger more like

  • I remember I got this game along with my Dreamcast on Xmas '99. The stupid game was defective and all I had to play was the demo CD that came with the console LOL. Ahh... nostalgia.

  • Too bad the creator for the game died. I was interested in playing this game but I don't have a Dreamcast :(

  • Believe it or not, Activision made Climax improve the NA version of the game. There are fewer glitches and the camera perspective was completely changed. The JP version had fixed camera angles, Resident Evil style.

  • where did you guys hear about the sequal to blue stinger?

  • The camera in the game made me sick.

  • I remember finishing this game. :-D It was allot of fun to finish and yes the Christmas level was a hoot! :-DDD

  • my 1st dreamcast game

  • I liked this game alot. I always thought the Christmas music/adverts, guns in vending machines, and monsters spewing money was a jab at corporations. How marketing execs will try to twist a tragedy into a selling point or how technology is replacing human interaction so much that (in the game) even retail workers are obsolete. Power Stone 2 was another of my favorite DC games just because it was a blast to play.

  • I loved it, but lost it! I still have my DC

  • I wish Sega still made consoles. The Dreamcast was full of bizarre games like this.

  • i love this game, best ever, i think they should bring it out again

  • I loved that game. I remember playing this with my cousin. I sucked at it back in the day,

  • awesome game. i lol every time when eliot tries to open a door and you dont have the access card. he makes that i dont konw gesture

  • great game. i got my copy from blockbuster for 5 bucks in 2001 and played this around xmas time for several years hahaha.

  • Love this game and it always reminds me of xmas as that's when i played through it ;)

  • This game was very good

  • best game ever

  • I was 9 when this came out! Shenmue and Blue Stinger were my favorite games. So much that here i am 19 buying dreamcast games lol

  • @Newellx66 mine too i just but a dreamcast and these two games fom ebay. im 23.

  • @Newellx66 same here, bro!!

  • this was a weird ass game. i fuckin sucked at it

  • I love how the guy walks.

  • I have that same Dreamcast shirt.

  • This game was truly amazing.

    Apart from the lip synching. MY GOD.

  • I have Illibleed and it is really bizarre, but it's a fun game and a really original concept.

  • Oh no no no no no no....you didn't. I played this game for about 10 minutes before I tossed it aside. Horrible! LOL. I can't believed you guys suffered through the whole thing. I will admit, the vending machines selling guns and Christmas theme was pretty funny.

  • RED STINGER NEEDS TO BE ON Wii!

  • It really is sad that the creator of this great game past away. There was a cliffhanger at the end of the game though to set up what would have been Red Stinger. I love to imagine what kind of game they had in mind for a sequel based on that cliffhanger cut scene.

  • Played and completed both BS and IB. BS is a better game for the time. BS was a DC launc title and combined adventure, horror, action, and fun. Still got this game, and still got the DC. Love finding the baseball bat in the store about 10 mins into the game.

  • Eh, ILLBleed was a better B-Movie horror game.

  • This game is epic, although I enver managed to get past the freezer part..

  • I got a Dreamcast some years ago with a couple of games. This was the first one I played and I beat it. Fun game.

  • I got this with my Dreamcast on release. I also got Sonic Adventure and Virtua Fighter 3. I didn't really appreciate it like you guys; it was a steaming turd.

  • i bought a dreamcast and this game just to finaly own it, i used to rent it when i was a kid all the fucking time, this game is pure gold

  • IDK games like these really pique my interest, i like games like DMC and God of War, but games like these.. man you know the game LSD? pretty damn wierd but its awesome, that's why i love Dreamcast and PS family they have really cool and weird games

  • Holy shit. you just brought back some wicked memories from when i was like 14. Thanks bro. Awesome game and thanks for the memory man.

  • Great review I'll try it.

  • That's what makes Blue Stinger so rad. Its creativity is off the charts. It would be nice to see a sequel or even a remake but that probably won't happen.

  • one of my favorite games to beat!

  • I want his shirt.

  • i like movies that are so very bad that they are also good. Like tank girl.

  • It'd be crazy i there was a remake for the 360 and ps3.

  • You guys are the only ones to mention Blue Stinger and Landstalker in a positive way untill now....

    clap clap clap! you both have some nice taste for games and its aesthetics.

    Thanks for the review

  • The real response would have been: "Open the door you stupid whore! There's monsters out here!"

  • Thank you for saying everything I've been trying to tell everyone about this game, you two are awesome and keep up the good work.

    I wish there was a sequel too.

  • Where can I get the soundtrack

  • blue stinger weascgreta when i WAS KID MY DAD PLAYED IT LAOTR ME AND HIM LOVE THZT GAME WE PLAY TEH CHRISTMNAS THEME TO LOL

  • i like illbleed but is it true that illbleed was a good game but went under the radar or is it a cult hit?

    p.s. can you do a video for beat em up games? (like final fight, streets of rage, and alien versus predator arcade, to name a few) i love classic beat em ups. it could be divided up into parts if possible.

  • You guys rock! :D

  • nice video, did you ever review illbleed?

  • Blue Stinger being Resident Evil 3D? I thought SIlent Hill was the first 3D game of it's kind (survival horror).

  • Blue Stinger came out a few months earlier (original japanese releases). Sure the Konami publishing/marketing won't tell you SEGA beat them! US releases came out at the same time basically, with Silent Hill leading by a few weeks because of Dreamcast release date.

  • the first 3d survival horror was along in the dark1 and i think there is way older 3d survival horror games befor it on the PC.

  • Exactly, it was Alone in the Dark that started it all back on the PC!

  • i remember seen a photo of alone in the dark 1 and 2 in games magazines when i was little too bad i never get the chance of playing them due to the (M) rated and also i dont have a PC back then i only played 3 on the ps1 and the new one that relased on all the platform i have the ps2 version.

  • Oh and I had no idea about red stinger I was searching for a possible sequel frequently at one point, and didn't hear anything about it, its too bad.

  • I was beginning to think no one felt the same about this game as I did, thought only I could recognize the charm of it.

  • I loved this game and got many good memories from it.

    I used to think the bosses where really scary and i remember i loved the christmas place. :)

    To bad they never finished the sequel.

    Maybe i will start a new game on this soon because i havent played it in many years now.

  • "Bad but good" "A hodgepodge of out of place ideas that somehow work" - that is SEGA all over! So many cheesy arcade classics!

    I recently got a Dreamcast and just got my filthy mitts on a Saturn so am looking forward to checking out some of its many, many shooters. I'd highly reccomend the Dreamcast to everyone though - PARTICULARILY if you like fun, fast action, bright colours and Godawful dubbing!

  • do you have any proof of Shinya actually working on Red Stinger ?

    not that i dont believe you guys, i just wanna have a tiny freakout

  • I love this game. Play it all the time. I liked running around mugging the monsters so I could get really good weapons early.

    And yes...the music is good in this game.

  • U know, I actually came across Blue Stinger & bought it for 10 bux a while back. Only to be disappointed by the game not working @ all. It's mega hard to find Dreamcast games in my genre of interest that actually work.

  • i just got this game. im having trouble with my dreamcast working properly it doesnt always play the game right

  • Some one needs to bring us Red Stinger.

  • dreamcast is awesome still trying to find one blue stinger is one of my fave's

  • Should be very cheap on Ebay - once you get used to using it, you can get some real bargains on there and many, well, not so much 'bargains', but items you would NEVER find in any local store or ANY store for that matter! I've bought tons of great games, consoles, manga, peripherals etc. from there and rarely have any difficulty - if I do it is always sorted out. I bought a Dreamcast recently and this game came with it! I always presumed it was a bit of a poo game but will have a look! ^_^.

  • luve the dreamcast

  • Really great review but I have a question do you own a CD-I

  • Man, this game is pretty cool and very enjoyable. It's sad that the Dreamcast didn't last that long in the states. What you said about this game is so true.

  • The voices aren't that bad.

  • I love this video. Keep it up!!!!

  • You guys are awesome reviewers. Best I've seen on Youtube. You're actually FUNNY, and down to earth. Doesn't feel like you're reading a paper, you are just speaking from your experience. Nice.

  • Hey, do you have Jet Grind Radio (Or Jet Set Radio)? That's a great game to review.

  • I hope you can skip the cutscenes to avoid the voice acting. Also notice, it's funny how the characters wobble a bit when they talk.

  • damn i never heard of red stinger i might have liked it

  • this game was so god awful, and i wouldnt ahve had it any other way...me and my friend played through it back in high school and still talk about it to this day, quoting its msot god awful parts, and poking fun at how every time u wanted some health u ahd to watch the dude eat a tv dinner haha...so good...so bad

    i cant believe u didnt mention the wierdest/creepiest/most out of place scene in the game when the black dude and the main character take that wierd bath together..haha fuckin strange

  • Woah, seriously, Red Stinger??? I had always imagined there'd be a sequel to this game, possibly with a name like that. I predicted it would be Mars-based, as a reference to the title.

    Great review guys! This is arguably my most favorite game on the Dreamcast.

    I really do hope either Climax Graphics or someone makes a good solid sequel in the future, that won't leave the "See You Next Adventure" message at the end of the game hanging.

  • hahaha good review. the shenmue voice acting might be worse though.

  • COOl
