Walking down town earlier today, walked past HMV and BAM, The gamecube, released today! Then i realised, eh, it's llike 500 euro, but when i swa it was just 200euro, i went mad! Boy that is cheap! But is it worth it? I'm looking at Bond:Agent under fire, looks pretty nice, but the controller looks very odd. Has anyone got one, or have any recommendations? |

The only two reasons I would buy a gamecube: Pikmen - well, cause they are cute. Resident Evil - I shouldn't even have to explain it. |

I wouldn't go that far, but I haven't play much gamecube aside from playing at bestbuy, but my mother has a ps2 and it's got some awesome titles. Too bad my mother would rather play tetris than play Twisted metal Black.

Well.. i work a bit for Nintendo in Norway (but i'm not biased). The controller is absolutely the best i've every tried. Everybody who has tried it says the same. There's aboslute a lot of good games for it like e.g. Pikemin and Resident Evil and Star Wars rouge leader.. you name it. But should you buy it. Hell, i don't know i want them all... X-box, ps2, GameCube..... and a new PC :D

Yeah, i've made up my mind..in 5 mins i'm walking out and buying one. Yahoo! It's only because it's so cheap, i'm still saving for my iMac, but i have all summer to save. What the heck! I'll be playing this for a while, see you in 2 months!

You are making the right decision, cybling. Gamecube is faster than the PS2, and more or less equal with the xbox. I don't know what games are out in Europe at launch, but I have 9 games right now... Super Monkey Ball - Tons of fun. I've spent hours and hours playing this game. It is also by far the funnest 'party' game I've played. Really fun in multiplayer. Rogue Leader - Eh. Not really that great in my opinion. But I like more complex space sims like Freespace on the PC. In this you just hold shoot and move the stick around. Pikmin - Tons of fun. Cute little pikmin... Great strategy/action game. Super Smash Brothers - Melee: Eh. I'm not big on fighting games... Luigi's Mansion: Fun. Pretty short... Beat it in one weekend. Better to rent unless you want to collect games... Sonic Adventure 2: Pretty cool... Terrible story and voice acting, but it's pretty good gameplay. Sega Soccer Slam: Really fun. Great graphics. Great voice acting. Fun characters. Fun gameplay. Wave Race 2: Good graphics. Great water physics. Gets really hard though. SSX Tricky: Lots of fun. Good graphics. Fun racing/trick snowboarding game. Plus you have the new zelda game coming out, mario, eternal darkness, metroid prime, mario party, and all the other nintendo franchises. The controller is really nice... Not too huge like the xbox one. |

:rolleyes: number 1..gamecube is the disney of consoles. practically all the games for it are rated E for little 6 year olds. number 2..ps2 IS slower than gamecube, but the xbox is MUCH faster than the gamecube. gamecube running at 450mhz, xbox at 733mhz. so...its too late now..but even for 200 euro (not sure how much it is in dollars) i still wouldn't buy it, even if it were for 1/16 the retail price. i really dislike nintendo, no offense grums :D |

We've got both the gamecube and the PS2. Love 'em both. The gameplay on both is seamless. We've had the PS2 for over a year, got the gamecube because the titles are better for the kids, plus you can have up to 4 controllers without having to get a multitap. The PS2 is sensitive to having good quality discs (hadta return a coupla games for out of round/flatness--wouldn't spin up all the time). Eye candy is better on the PS2, but GC makes up for it with gameplay. I'd buy another PC before buying Xbox--Bill Gates gets enough of my money already. |
