The Saturn was Sega's fifth generation effort. I review on five categories, Design, Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer, and Game Library. The design of the Saturn is pretty basic, it's pretty a... more

    I find myself here at almost 2am on the Internet, so I thought I'd talk to you about the Sega Saturn console. It's not as 'retro' as some gaming machines like the X Spectrum, but it's pretty much forgotten about now, although there must be a few satisfied Saturn owners out there! Ok, so the Sega Saturn may have paled in comparison to it's only rival as it were, the Sony PlayStation, but the console was not a complete flop, although the shelf life wasn't overly impressive. Still, there are many reasons why you should get yourself a Sega Saturn even today - let me take you on a little Sega ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good looking, CD player for £30!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Old, bulky, no longer supported

    The Sega Saturn is a dead console: no one supports it, not even Sega. So why should you invest in one? Well, let me tell you a story... I bought by Sega Saturn in the summer of 2000. The sun was out, everyone was care-free. Rabbits hopped along the tree-lined streets of the rural town of middlesbrough(!), and people went about their normal daily business. I walked into the local Chips and went to their display cabinet. There it was: a Sega Saturn, with Sega Rally and Virtua Fighter 2, for only £30. £30! That was a bargain! I took my money and paid for it. I got home, plugged it in and enjoyed ... more

    Advantages Advantages One or two good games.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Impossible to program for.

    After the great sucess of the Megadrive, Sega though they had it easy. They were wrong, and the Saturn remains to be one of the most flawed and underappreitated systems that was ever on the market. The trouble started with the impossible to program system, a lot like the PS2 now, and hardly any games came out for it. Nights was good. I think the Sonic one was ok too. But thats it. Their failure of the Saturn gave the Dreamcast an undeserved bad reputation. There is nothing at all wrong with the Dreamcast, and has just as good graphics as the PS2 at the moment. Buy a Dreamcast instead. ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Read op

    Since the release of their ‘Sega Saturn’ Sega Inc have been shunned and put down every step of the way except for their exceptional quality of games which they have now published for other consoles, but these insults were not fair as after buying a Sega Saturn for only £20 second hand, I was astonished by the quality at which it was made. Although the Sega Saturn is slightly bulky (No more so than the X-Box, or should I say ‘X-Bulk’) I consider it a brilliant console, the GUI (General User Interface) when you turn it on without a CD in, is superb to begin with, as it has a wide range of ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not many games 2 buy

    I bought this 2nd hand when i just wanted a console to muck around with for a bit and I didn't really have too much money, it was okay when i first had it and then i got bored of it and found it hard to get games for my new console. I do like rayman though. RAYMAN ROCKS!! I am probably going to sell the console now cos i am bored of it. I would reccomend adults who have young kids to buy it cos they dont rreally care about the console and just wanna muck around with it. ... more
