Nintendo Gaming / RE:What version of Soul Calibur II is the best?

« on: January 10, 2004, 03:07:37 AM »

I have found this forum to be full of relatively honest fans of GameCubes.

This is great news as I love Link, my kids love SC and have a GC ... and Hori's digital can perhaps save me on the controls.

Thanks everyone!

What version of Soul Calibur II is the best?

You heard me. I'm partial to Link, but more interested in the almighty framerate and controls.

I've seen the crew here is both honest and up front, so I'm trusting what I read here more and more. We can love our GC's without hyping them.

Nintendo Gaming / Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - choppy framerate?

« on: January 02, 2004, 12:23:47 PM »

I saw one review ( http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/rpg/baldursgatedarkalliance/review.html ) that said that the GC version of BGA has a choppy framerate when there are a lot of enemies on the screen. Is this true?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The Two Towers GC - Video worse than PS2??

Ah ho ha!!

I'm a fanatic, that being a person who redoubles his efforts while loosing sight of his original goals... so I must have every quasi-decent Middle Earth based game.

That said... videos are definately NOT cut, just compressed mildly?

I'll definately grab RotK but I'm not sure if I'll pick up the PC or GC version. Thoughts on that anyone?

Nintendo Gaming / The Two Towers GC - Video worse than PS2??

« on: January 01, 2004, 07:10:44 AM »

I have read in one review on Epinions.com that said that the GC version of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" had crappy video... it was overly compressed and actually cut in order to fit on the GC disk.

I can't, however, find anything to verify this. Every review I have read on the game speaks of no difference here, though online reviews have gotten really bad since, oh, 1999.

Does anyone know what the REAL differences are between "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" on GC and PS2?

My thanks in advance.
