Sega Saturn Console Review

 What is Saturn? Most people would say. Those that do know would most likely say something like"Oh yeah that console that was too expensive,had no real games,had terrible 3D graphics, and no 3rd party".

Truly the system didn't deserve such bad press I mean come on the games.You know what I'll star with the games and go on

Games:16/20 (In the first-party realm games were  nothing shor of eye-popping,games like NiGHTS into Dreams,Clockwork Knight,Astal,Panzer Dragoon,Virtua Cop,Last Bronx,Sega Rally,the list goes on. After N64 this console was the console to go to for reliable,delicious first-party games. Sadly not so with 3rd party in fact the only 3rd party games of quality I can think of are Rayman,Tomb Raider,Resident Evil,D,Magic Knight Rayearth, and Shining Force III)

Graphics:14/20(This one was hard because it depends on 2D or 3D. with 2D Saturn has the best around along with Jaguar,Neo-Geo,and SNES.But with 3D it looks terrible the system rendered rectangles instead of triangles like it's rivals plus no one could harness it's power not even SEGA themselves so everything looked mottled and grainy.NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon Saga looked at least like PSX quality)

Design:19/20(Like the DS not entirely attractive like N64,Dreamcast,or Neo-Geo Pocket Color but though the color is plain black it has that cartridge slot in the back and the buttons look cute when he power turns it glows green and the cartidge in that slot looks niccce)

Technology: 20/20(This console was the most advanced console for it's time,it had 2 processors,internal memory,a modem adapter, and a cartridges that could save 100 games on it,plus CD for cut-scenes, if harnessed right it could compare with N64 wih CD)

Final:17/20 (The Saturn is one of my favorites,I've played it once and have always desired to have it as my second,but the graphics really pushed the console down a few scores)
