Best Sega Dreamcast music & rhythm games

The Matrix has 7 music & rhythm games on file for the Sega Dreamcast, released between 1999–2002. 6 of them support multiplayer, including 1 with co-op. They're ranked below by legacy score, so the games that shaped the genre on the Dreamcast come first, with lesser-known picks further down.

Music and rhythm games challenge your timing by asking you to hit inputs in sync with the beat.

Typical commitment: quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun). Tip: Modern TVs can add input lag that throws off timing; use your TV's game mode if rhythm feels off.
