A fun and unique game that would be an excellent addition to anybody's Dreamcast library.

Being the giant Sega fiend that I am, I had to try this cutesy looking game regardless of my inner shame. Luckily I found this game to be quite enjoyable, especially when played with one or more friends. This is a kind of game rewards different strategies and play styles. While this game is rather hard to describe, I am going to try and make an attempt. It's basically a board game (as best I can describe it) where you place arrows on the ground directing mice like critters called chu-chus into your rocket ship. There are four rocket ships competing against one another for the most mice and the one with the most at the end of the time limit wins the round. Win three rounds before your opponents and you have won the game. It sounds simple enough but throw cats into the mix that are on the board trying to eat the poor mice. Worse yet, if they manage to get into your rocket ship they eat one third of your mice. This can be used to your advantage though as you can use your arrows to try and direct cats into your opponents rocket ships if they are in the lead. Special mice are also a factor and a roulette wheel spins each time one of them enters a rocket. Changing the game for a few seconds and possibly causing dramatic comebacks. Some of these events are cat mania (lots of cats), or mouse mania (lots of mice) as well as speeding or slowing the critter movement. There are a large variety of different boards two which require you to change your strategies and out think your opponents. Either way, nothing I say justifies how fun and quirky this game really is. It's awesome and you'll just have to take my word for it. It's got great pick up and play appeal and is both an intensely competitive and relaxing experience whether you play alone or with friends.
