as you are well aware, it is most certainly due to nintendo's image as of late. publishers just don't see the GCN version as a high priority and thus if any version needs to be held back for the sake of the others, the choice is obvious... from their standpoint.

But Gamecube sales are the best they've ever been now- if anything 3rd parties should be reinstating their cancelled Gamecube projects (which, according to IGN, a lot of publishers are doing). Even if the Gamecube wasn't selling as well as it is, there's still no reason to simply delay the game. Either cancel it or launch it on time, nothing else.

While I appreciate that this post probably doesn't belong the True Crime thread, can I just say that the reason the GameCube versions of a lot of 3rd party titles seem to be an afterthought is generally because a GCN SKU simply doesn't sell as well as it's Xbox or PS2 counterpart.

And even though Cube sales have picked up since the price cut, the sales of 3rd party games is not likely to change a great deal as a result of the larger user base. Most people who by a GameCube at $99 will most likely already have a PS2, Xbox or both. They would be enticed into buying a Cube now because there might be a couple of GC-exclusives that interest them, and at such a low price it is hard to say no. And these new Cube owners will more than likely keep buying their 3rd party product their original console, not the GameCube. Things could turn out differently I guess, but I personally don't think they will.

I also think that your "Either cancel it or launch it on time, nothing else" comment is a bit over top. Personally I am generally happy that a publisher gives me the option of playing their game with a GameCube controller, and if I have to wait a bit for that privilege I will. I certainly would prefer not to have to wait, but if I have to choose between either a short wait or not getting the game at all, it's a pretty easy decision.

Thanks for the info - I was a bad cop. A very bad cop, LOL.

I'm trying hard ot be good this time around but it's so hard to do things "by the book". It's so much easier to shoot everyone that pisses me off and run over every suspect that wants to run.

It was hard for me to play good cop at first, because I didn't have some of the basic upgrades like manual aiming help, etc.  Plus, I didn't know exactly what was good and what was bad.  But after I got over those things, it was easy to be a good cop.  I finished the game with +130 good cop rating.  I would like to go back and play bad cop all the way through, once I have the time.

I'm at +87 rating now.. I can do a lot of bad and still be a good cop.  I like having that leeway.

I actually had the cops chase me down the other day, my god and a lot of them came after me and shot me down cold blood.

I am now up to 33 good cop though although on certain chase scenes I seem to  slide into people when cornering lowering the good cop ratio.

As far as upgrades I have the yellow sports car now  but  am stuck at the speed aiming one and the   run into a car at 45 degrees to make them spin out. Do you have to spin both of those cars out? seems almost impossible if so.

Also doing the fighting I am  having a hell of a time to learn a new combo, seems  it is not regerstering when I push the buttons after stunning the person.

Any ideas?

All you have to do is frisk everybody walking around for a while and youl go up a leval when you get drugs or guns get upgrades so you can shot none fatily
