Lost Kingdoms for the Microsoft Gamecube

[AvsJoe]

Sorry for the title there, I really am, but I felt it was a good way to grab your attention.

Anyway, I recently dusted off my sister's Gamecube because I wanted to play some Mario Party. But I noticed a game in her collection I had never heard of: Lost Kingdoms. I played it for a few minutes and it seems like a sub-standard JRPG so I want to find out whether or not it is at least an okay game before I continue playing.

So tell me, those of you who've played (and preferably finished) this title: is it worth my time? I'm itching to play another JRPG but I would much rather play a good one over a bad one.

While I don't really believe I have played a "JRPG" I do not think that Lost Kingdoms is one.
I only ever played the first one (yes, there is a sequel!) but I enjoyed it.
It's more of a card-deck-adventure game...

You build a deck of I want to say 30 or 32 cards, and go through a stage with that deck, calling out independent monsters, weapon cards, and summons. There is a battle screen, but all it really is would be the area you are in being confined to a limited zone while you still run around using for hand to play cards and dodge attacks.

It's not turn-based and you don't really get other characters in a "party" of sorts.
I enjoyed the game, especially the "spin" type mosnters (plus some of they are sooo cute~).
But, I don't really like saying what games are for who. My friends mostly enjoyed it, but we also have sampled many TCG's together happily(ish)...

Microsoft Gamecube? Is this some new console I'm not aware of?

Um... Microsoft Gamecube? 0_o

OT: If people recommend it, I'll have to check it out. I'm always up for another good JRPG.

Microsoft Gamecube?

lol yeah, you know, the one that competed against the Commodore 64 and the Nintendo Revolution2.

Sorry, it was supposed to draw page views. I guess it didn't work.

Oh... well it's what got me here, heh, I just didn't understand it was purposeful. Though I suppose considering you're on my friends list and you have over 8000 posts, I should have figured that out myself...
