****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I finally broke down and purchased enough controllers 
for 4 players to play on my Dreamcast.  I then needed some 4 player games.  
I already owned NFL 2K and NBA 2K, but I needed something else.  I ended up
purchasing this game and Pen Pen TriIcelon.      

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: SP: Chef's Luv Shack is a amalgamation of You Don't 
Know Jack and Mario Party.  If you liked those games, then you will love this
one.  The trivia questions are nicely written and don't repeat very often.  
The mini-games are a blast and are easy enough that anyone can play them.  
The actual game play goes like this.  There are anywhere from 2-8 rounds of
gameplay(your choice).  Each round has 3 questions and then a mini-game.  
This does vary, though.  There are also Double Downs(Daily Doubles) and 
Pressure Rounds where if you answer 7 questions in 20 seconds Cartman 
receives an anal probe.  If you like South Park in the least, then you will
get a kick out of all of the characters and their actions in this game.  The
single player game is boring, but with a group this game kicks ass!  
Liked: This is the best 4-player game on the Dreamcast. 
Hated: I wish that you could practice mini-games like you could on Mario 
Party.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: This game looks great.  Everything looks exactly like 
it does on the show.  The mini-games look exactly like the show, as well.  
The game runs smoothly and there are no complaints.
Liked: Looks just like the show.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: This game sounds great.  Isaac Hayes returns as the
voice of Chef and he reads all of the questions and has a lot of other 
dialogue that is as funny as it is on the show.  There is also an intro song
that is really cool.  The other voices sound exactly like they do on the 
show, as well.    
Liked: Great sound.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: The controls are perfect.  The mini-games have very
simple, but very responsive controls.  The other in-game controls are very 
easy, as well.  The game design is great.         
Liked: Perfect controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Maybe the sequel will contain some sort of internet play.

RIYL: Mario Party(N64), You Don't Know Jack(PC), Twisted: The Game Show(3DO) 

****************************************************************************

Final Words: This is a great game for 2-4 players, but it is a weak game if 
you are a solitary player.  If you are a solitary player, don't buy this game
until you get some friends.  Then invite them over for one of the best 
multi-player experiences ever.
