Copied from MobyGames: Burnout is an arcade style racing game in the mold of the Test Drive or Need For Speed series. In this game, you are racing on realistic streets with real traffic to contend with. There are 6 courses on which to race, 3 of which are reminiscent of Europe, and 3 from the USA. There are several vehicles to choose from, ranging from compact cars to pickups. However, they are not based on real makes and models. One notable feature of Burnout is the "Burn Meter." The Burn Meter is a gauge that is filled by performing reckless stunts, like racing into oncoming traffic or power-drifting through corners. Once the Burn Meter is filled, your car gets a super speed boost. If you crash, however, the Burn Meter is reset and must be filled again to achieve a boost.

Copied from MobyGames: There are things in the world that humanity should not know about, and things it must be protected from. It is these things that the Brimstone Society hunts, and their newest agent is the half-vampire codenamed BloodRayne. Her mission will take her from clearing out the walking dead in the swamps of Louisiana to hunting down members of the Nazi military around the world, as well as the monsters they unwittingly awakened. Rayne's primary weapons are the blades attached to her arms. Rayne can also hold many weapons, but she is not overly attached to them and will discard any weapon that runs dry. Her enhanced vampiric strength allows her the ability to drain the blood out of any human she can grab in order to restore her health. By killing enemies Rayne's rage meter will fill, eventually allowing her to enter Blood Rage, slowing the world around her and gaining new combo attacks. Rayne's ability to perceive the world will grow as the game progresses as well, allowing her to see living things through walls, zoom in on distant targets, and speed up her perception that everything, herself included, appears to slow down.

Copied from MobyGames: In this adaptation of the film of the same name, the origins of the Batman legend are explored. Playing as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, Batman, you will need to hunt evil forces in familiar locations such as Arkham Asylum, Gotham City, but also in the Himalaya. Using both stealth and brutal skills, you take on enemies in true beat-em-up style. Batman has a vast array of moves, from kicks and punches to more exotic special moves. Multiple enemies can be attacked at once, and there are tricks to break through enemies' defenses. Next to the melee combat, Batman carries his Utility Belt with a Batgrapple to reach higher areas, the Batarang and gadgets such as smoke and flash grenades, a lockpick, camera hacker and an optical wire to peek from behind corners. Certain levels turn Batman Begins into a racing game, as you drive the shiny Batmobile at high speeds through Gotham City. During these missions, your progress is measured by a reputation meter, which increases when you take out cops and thugs, and decreases when you harm civilians. There is nitro available for even higher speeds and an armor meter shows the status of your car.

Copied from MobyGames: Tech Romancer is a 3D arena fighter with a difference: rather than controlling a martial artist, the player selects one of the several available giant robots. These range from the absurd to the "typical" anime styled mecha to a more westernized idea of a mech. The gameplay takes part in large 3D arenas, usually dotted with buildings and other landmarks, many of which are destructible and may contain power-ups. Game controls consist of two attack buttons, one block, and one jump. Characters have a special bar; once it is full, a special move can be executed. There is an armor bar, which depletes as the characters take or block certain hits; if it runs out, the character will start taking hefty damage even when blocking. The life and time bars are self-explanatory, and there is also the special-weapon inventory, which can hold up to five special weapons at a time. The main single-player mode is a story mode, which is completely different for each character and, for most characters at least, branches many ways, often with multiple endings depending on choices made and targets met.

Copied from MobyGames: Knights of Valour: The Seven Spirits is an entry in IGS's longrunning Romance of the Three Spirits-inspired beat-em-up series. Like all games in the series, this game features mythical versions of various generals and other figures as playable characters. Compared to previous entries, the move to new hardware allows 3D graphics for the first time; player sprites stay sprite-based, like in older entries, but stages are now presented using realtime 3D art. Each character features unique special moves and super moves. This game also features a new "rebirth" system; players build a "rebirth" meter as they take damage and, once full, they can repeatedly revive themselves for a short window of time.

Copied from MobyGames: A unique combination of vertically-scrolling shooters and competitive puzzle games, Twinkle Star Sprites tells the story of the apprentice witch Ran, who searches for the fabled Twinkle Star that is said to grant any wish to the one that finds it. Unfortunately she is not the only one seeking the star, and thus must fight her way and defeat all the other characters that seek the star in shooter duels. The game plays mostly as a vertically-scrolling shooter, with you controlling your avatar and attempting to shoot and avoid the incoming enemies. The difference in this game is that each player has his own play area, a la Puyo Puyo, and the enemies cause splash damage around themselves when shot. Thus chaining the destruction of several enemies creates a combo that performs an attack move on your opponent. These moves can range from targeted fireballs, to special moves unique to each character, to the summoning of special "boss" characters that the other player must destroy before continuing. Each player has a lifebar, and as with most shooters there are bombs, and collectible power-ups to be found.

Ryu can also visit an arcade and play accurate versions of Hang-On and Space Harrier, as well as games like darts and pool. Included with the game is the Shenmue Passport disc. On this disc, players can receive tutorials about the mini-games or the battle system, watch cutscenes they've already seen in the game, and listen to music from the game.
