[metalmmaniac]

Well yeah, it's all about the game play to me. It just feels less strategic and the fact that the overpowered weapons come so often makes the game more about luck than ever before.

I don't know what exactly snaking is but I think I know, you mean skidding by holding down the R button or whatever and it makes you turn faster. That was a flipping awesome strategy and it gave the novice players find more ways to test themselves in the game, very big selling point. That alone is enough to put me off the game entirely and unfortunately this isn't the only game that has done stuff like this.

However this doesn't make the game shit, it has got it's pros like the online play feature and what not, but compared to the game play in the early Mario Karts it doesn't compare.

Snaking was doing the drifts really fast left and right so that you go faster on a straight path. They're meant to be used on turns but with snaking you can do lots of little drift boosts and it looks like you're moving like a snake, hence 'snaking'.

Star Wars Rouge Squadron 2: Rouge Leader. Seriously one of the best SW games ever made. God I'm a dork.

Yep that is THE best Star Wars game ever made. Also the sequel is pretty good too; Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike. Of course there's also Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (which is best in the unlikely situation that you and three other friends have GBAs.....and link cables....probably not then).

Off-Topic - Yay first post!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I highly recommend Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4.

Serious? I have never heard of it before, that sounds awesome! Thanks for that.

I know you don't like the idea but you got to admit that does add even more strategy to the game.

 

[Zombie Badger]

And I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I own all three last-gen systems.

Ashamed? I still have my Xbox 1, an N64 I bought last year, and a PS1, as well as an original gameboy, and I'm proud!

Also, how do you use italics?

As well as hurt your fingers. It can be done in DD and Mario Kart DS, and if you don't use it you LOSE. That's why its game breaking, and lame to use.

My fave Gamecube game has to be Wind Waker
try to get the collectors edition aswell because you get TLOZ: Majoras Mask and TLOZ:Ocarnina of time with it aswell which are some of the greatest games ive played.

 

[paiged]

I think everyone already said the stuff I would recommend, so I'm just here to push Eternal Darkness, it's still one of my favorite games that I've played.

Also, any zelda game is pretty good. Even four swords adventures (even though it's admittedly too easy and odd its fun for a quick moment).

Well they do it for fun and to be really competitive, it's not like you have to play those people. It's great to have special techniques and skills in games, makes it a lot more interesting and gives the really dedicated players something to look forward to.

Also it's not game breaking because they are not breaking anything and to say it's lame is just your opinion. From my understanding it gives the game more depth and since Mario Kart Wii got rid of all these things, well it sucks in comparison when it comes to game play again!

I'd hate to ask this, but why didn't you get a Wii? Its fully backwards-compatible and not that much more expensive. I'd return the gamecube and get myself a Wii if I were you.

In either case, make sure to pick up Smash Bros. Melee and Wind Waker. Sorry if I sounded rude.

what planet are you on? how is a wii not much more expensive than a gamecube?
wii about £175
gamecube (pokemon edition from gamestation) £19.99

back on topic ETERNAL DARKNESS
good luck in getting some games though, some are going for silly prices now on ebay

 

[Dale Cooper]

Metroid Prime 2
Twilight Princess
Smash Brothers Melee
Windwaker (I prefer this one over Twilight Princess)
Custom Robo
Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door
Viewtiful Joe
Super Monkey Ball
Alien Hominid
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
Resident Evil (Remakes)
Luigi's Mansion
Resident Evil 4 (If you haven't played it.)
Soul Calibur 2
Killer 7

Enjoy. Play them all.

This list makes me want my Game Cube back.

Except Smash Brothers.

Though I never played Viewtiful Joe, Super Monkey Ball or Alien Hominid

 

[Captain Awesome]

I agree with a fair few of the choices in here.

Games that I would personally go for are...

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Eternal Darkness
RE remake
The Legend of Zelda: Collectors edition
Tales of Symphonia
Wind Waker
MGS: Twin Snakes
Killer 7
F-Zero GX (unless you get nauseous easily)
Metroid Prime

Edit: Oh and good buy, I love buying old consoles, the nostalgia factor is awesome.

I'm slightly ashamed because having all three systems without being rich is a good way of making yourself look like a nerd.

And to use italics, type [.i]stuff[/i.] without the . in the tags, so it will show up as stuff. You can also bold and underline text this way.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Any and all mario games.

Evar

Thanks, and I don't have a job, and I don't feel nerdy.

Where did you get the Gamecube, if I might ask?

Anyway, I recommend Timesplitters Future Perfect. Best damn fun I've had with split screen multiplayer in ages.

This.

You have to buy CHIBI ROBO!!!!!!!!
