Released exclusively in North America on August 7, 2001 , this version holds a special place in gaming history as one of the first console titles to feature voice chat, utilizing the Dreamcast Microphone accessory . It was primarily designed for online play, supporting up to 8 players, but was criticized for its lack of a Broadband Adapter support, requiring a dial-up connection . Critical reception was generally positive, with reviewers praising the smooth 60fps visuals, intuitive controls, and innovative voice chat feature . However, the game was often noted for its lack of depth, repetitive gameplay, and unstable online performance with more than four players . The release came late in the Dreamcast's lifespan, and with Sega's free servers eventually transitioning to a pay model, the player base dwindled significantly . Despite this, the game was later resurrected by fans through private servers in 2016 .
