I got the gamecube a few weeks back and I love it. Why get an X-Box when I have a PC in my room? Anyways I live in Australia (GC sells really bad here!) which means that its hard to find games.

Being 19 and doing Uni/part-time-work/living at home, I have money and lots of time to fill.

The games that I do have:
Ikaruga (hardest game I have ever played, thats what makes it so good), had to import this baby
F-Zero GX (I wanted a racing game, very fast and easy to play)
Metroid Prime (great all round game. the boss fights look great)
SSB melee (easy to play so its good for my sister and friends, pick up and play)
Zelda: Collector's Edition (have not really touched this one yet, but I intend finishing them all during one of the holidays)

Games i want to get (I will hire them first):
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (once I have played the n64 zelda games on the Collector's Edition I will make my mind up)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (good reviews, interesting story)
Viewtiful Joe (I enjoyed playing double dragon on the nes, looks like a fun game)

and Metroid Prime 2 when it comes out.

Looks like you've picked some great choices(sans PoP, but that's just my opinion), so it looks like you don't need our help... ^_^

You realize on Collectors Edition, not only are there the N64 games, but a twenty-minute demo of Wind Waker, right? BTW, all your choices are great. And "hire"...is that was Aussies call rentals?

I rented it a while back and it was great fun. Especially the multiplayer... and those monkeys.

Only problem is it gave me motion sickness or something if I play it for too long so I never bothered to buy it. Weird... cause it's the first game that's ever done that to me.

A friend of mine got motion sickness from Doom64 WAY BACK.

A friend of mine gets a headache from playing 3D games.

When I Bought Mine I bought True Crimes, and SSX3. Those are two good games that started me off. E

Drove me nuts, since I'm much more proficient with left-aiming thanks to Perfect Dark and the bow/slingshot in Ocarina of Time. It feels next to impossible to play when I use right-aiming, kinda like the whole "dominant eye" "dominant" arm" differences. It's like, "Here, now write in cursive using your opposite hand" -- WTF. The fact that the C-stick isn't designed for such a high degree of precision just makes things works (YOU DEVELOPERS WITH YOUR SINGLE SIDED MINDED DESIGN WAYS FRUSTRATE ME, JUST AS YOUR GAMES DID. But I love you Free Radical). As a result, I stopped playing Hitman 2 months ago after going thru only 4 missions.

I've come to the sad conclusion that I've lost any interest in Metal Arms.

HAHA I love this post, I was thinking the same thing just the other day. And coincidentally I also bought Hitman 2 months ago and also stopped playing after somewhere around 3-4 missions. This is erry as hell. I almost beat you to Metal Arms though, I almost bought it today at Gamestop for PS2, but something told me no in the back of my head. Note that Hitman 2 aiming with the right stick was easier than most games that require aiming with the right stick. Maybe because it's less intense than RF2, I dunno.

Gremio I had RF2 for PS2 it was a great game I must add I was a fan of the first one as well. If I recall right it did have customizable controls too. I actually prefer multiplayer in RF2 compared to TS2 which I own for GC. TS2 multi has more options. RF2 has a better single player quest. TS2 has map making and arcade mode mini-games which are alot of fun. Although I stated things about TS2 you already know, I'm stating them as the things that stand out for it compared to RF2.

If anyone likes Gundam type games, Custom Robo is pretty good only downside are the levels are a little too small for the kind of weapons u use in the game.

Is pokemon colosseum any good?

Robin · « **Reply #536 on:** June 01, 2004, 08:44:35 AM »

I dunno if Pokemon Collosal is any good, but I doubt it ... i think, my fvourite game is proparly either double dash or wario world... those games r good... double dash over wario world i would say (in my opinion).

I'm not lazy, I'm just er.... finish the sentence that I'm speaking...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #537 on:** June 01, 2004, 08:48:54 AM »

Pokemon Colosseum is my 3rd favorite GC game, behind Wind Waker and SSBM... ^_^

The graphics fit a Pokemon game...The area backgrounds are simple, yet stylistic...

For those who have just recently purchased a Cube, they are pretty lucky. Look at all the players choice titles out, Super Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil, Super Mario Sunshine, Soul Calibur, F-Zero, and many more. All under $30. If I could just hold off on buying games, I would save tons of money, but unfortunately I am one of those people who buys those must own games the day they come out. For anyone who doesnt own a Cube, its as good of time as any to pick one up.

vixtro · « **Reply #542 on:** June 06, 2004, 01:10:42 PM »

yea be quick about it cuz i dont think the cube will last much longer thanks to a certain other console cough*ps2*cough
its jus too dam popular for what it is cuz like nearly all the games r cheapy and rushed, not like the xbox or cube that r very well polished to perfection, well most any way lol

Would Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban be a good game to get?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #545 on:** June 10, 2004, 05:25:55 PM »

Not sure. Not a Hairy Potter fan.

~~~~~

I've recently discovered that Freedom Fighters' control scheme is very close to Hitman 2's, where aiming(camera control) is mapped to the C-stick.

As such, I'm not interested in buying this game anymore.

Lylat Link · « **Reply #546 on:** June 12, 2004, 06:07:13 PM »

I have been considering to get True Crime: Streets of L.A. for quite a while now, but I am not sure if it is really that good a game. Sites say it is not as good as GTA: Vice City. Vice City was by far one of the best games I have ever played - If this is my thoughts on Vice City, what will I think of True Crime?. What do any of you think of it compared to vice city and just overall on its own?

Armed · « **Reply #547 on:** June 12, 2004, 09:01:57 PM »

True Crime if you have never played any GTA game before then you can be satisfied with this game, but if you have then this game will be kind of a disappointment to you since the developers didn't really polish all the glitches that are in the game. Overall the game is alright not bad or good, plenty of action and has better visuals than GTA just the glitches that bring it down.

Lylat Link · « **Reply #548 on:** June 12, 2004, 10:49:08 PM »

thanks,

but just some clarity - by 'glitches' what types of things do you mean?

RIGOR_MORTIS · « **Reply #549 on:** June 14, 2004, 03:58:06 AM »

I just got the GC w/ Mario and Zelda... I love em!
