Looking for some Dreamcast games...

I ordered Jet Grind Radio, it seemed nifty.  Anyone ever play Maken X?  Looks kinda cool...

Jet set radio is awesome. I remember getting this when it came out. I think it was same day as ps2 launch. Still give it a spin from time to time. Looks vibrant in RGB. Kicking music too.

Maken X was really fun.
iirc, the character designer is the same as for the Shin Megami Tensei games.

but i hope you like late 90s/early 00s FPS

I got the game today & played it for a bit, and it's awesome!  Very heavily reminiscent of Metroid Prime, though...eerily so.  Did any of the staff that worked on Maken X go on to work on Prime?

I don't think so.
maken was developed by atlus, while prime was made mostly by retro studios(based out of texas)
i'm not ruling out that an employee could move, but I don't think there's any major work on it

Guess it was just "heavily inspired by", then. 

I wonder if there are any other games that use that control scheme...
