BurnSide
Weee! I brought myself a shiny Gamecube yesterday which fits nicely alongside my PS2. Besides the Resident Evil games, ahaha, and such classics as Windwaker and Animal Crossing, what should i look out for?
It's for both myself and my girlfriend, so i want something we can both play, which is alot of fun, not very serious, and pretty easy to master.
Any suggestions?
Subtemperate
noone will prbably agree with me, but monkeyball is fun in multiplayer.... Cant even describe the game, but its good fun.....
BurnSide
DUDE!! haha as if you said that.
It can get repetitive, but i liked it. My mate who's house i stayed in for a few months had it. Great 4-player game, thumbsup.gif A little TO kiddish though.
Subtemperate
Hmmm gamecube game thats not kiddish....thats not resident evil.....

Will get back to you some time in 2008 original.gif

BurnSide
hahaha touche!
Well i mean around the 'Mario Sunshine' type of games. Man that game is great, and hard in some areas like the oldschool parts. It's a great game! Something to that extent.
Subtemperate
Starfox was pretty good, from what i saw of it.... Good gameplay and graphics....

Cant think of anything else i ever play on it....last time i played it....march....
BurnSide
Yeah StarFox for N64 was pretty good, i haven't seen it on GameCube tho. Coo.

My brother and sister have that one, should have played it when we borrowed their gamecube!

This is why we didn't play Super Smash Bros., we were too busy playing Mario Party 5 which we rented laugh.gif
I wouldn't buy it though.
BurnSide
Yeah we played alot of Mario Party 5, it was great but repeitive. VERY KIDDISH!!!

I tried Smash bros Melee, didn't like it at all really. A poor fighting game in my opinion, Nintendo expected it would be okay because it was packed with familiar characters.

Sleepygrizz, i've also played through and completed Pikmin. A truely great Strategy game, but i certainly wouldn't buy it. Took me a few hours to complete and i was bored with it after.
Subtemperate
Eternal Darkness? Thats suppose to be good....
BurnSide
What's it about?
Subtemperate
From what i understand its like silent hill..... Very weird game with insanity o-metre.... and such..... Anyone can correct me if im wrong...
BurnSide
Mmmm... my obsession with Silent Hill is deep, but Disinterested hates those games.
Subtemperate
Yeah my wife does too...... (actually i own this game, just havent played it in a long time and cant remember much....as i had no patience at the time i got it...)
tendo
metroid prime!!! grin2.gif tho u cant play it, technically, together...but its still fun...
BurnSide
Sorry tendo, Metroid Prime i played for an hour, and i never want to touch the thing again, it was so horribly horribly boring and repetitive. Ugh. Not a very good game in the long term, in my opinion.

hahahaha. BloodRayne grin2.gif

BS buy it NOW!!!!!

or i shall strike great vengence opon thee grin2.gif
BurnSide
It's not on my list Jan man. I'll rent it, but i have seen it, looked up on it and frankly, it ain't my cup of beans but the look of it.
Janiel
pfft tongue.gif well at least rent it for me ...
BurnSide
Don't worry i don't pass judgement without playing it first. Who knows i may end up really liking it. original.gif
Janiel
yea! actually the same thing happened to me...i didnt like the way BloodRayne looked in the trailers...but i decided to rent it and i LOVED it grin2.gif

but as for other non childish games for GC.....hell if i know
tendo
*cries* ok...*sniffles* well...in that case...i dont know...tho, if yer lookin for a non serious multiplayer...go with conkers bad fur day...its got a great single player, and the multi...me n my friends can play for hours, several days in a row, and not get bored...its so great. tho, its for the N64...
BurnSide
The girl rented MarioCart DoubleDash.
Wooo!
Disinterested
And we only have one controller! Booooo sad.gif
BurnSide
We'll get another one tomorrow! Wooo!
Shakezulah
BS, whatever you do....DON NOT TRY ETERNAL DARKNESS! IT SUCKS ASS! i rented it once and i played it for awhile and i hated it soooo much. its not nearly like the traditional survival horror games.

some good multiplayer games are Red Faction 2 and Metal Arms. they both kick ass. im waiting for RE4 (whihc i know u are too) and Geist right now. Geist wont be out for a looong time tho.
BurnSide
RE4 January! Woot! The main reason why i brought the Gamecube haha.

Me and the girl are having alot of fun with Mario Kart DD right now. Except ther really isn't enough enough to do in it, takes 35 minutes to play on every track. Booo.
Janiel
OH and soul calibur 2 is awsome grin2.gif
AztecInca

F-zero GX, thats another good racing game thats a little different but extremly fun.

Eternal Darkness isn`t that bad of a game, its not supposed to be a traditional survival horror game anyway. Its quite challenging and is frankly a little freaky when you start to go insane, with voices, bleeding walls, screams, but funny when you all of sudden are walking on the roof or all your limbs fall off. I hate when you hear the heart beating, thats really annoys me. Its not a classic but is a extremly different yet good game. Give it a rent first though, its not for all gamers.

The wrestlemaina games have great multiplayers sections, with basically every match imaginable and the new wrestling game coming out is going to have a great story mode similar to smckdowns but better, maybe, u never know, ....sigh!!! I`m kidding myself.

Wind waker rocks but is a little easy, cant wait to the next zelda comes out, u are a adult, FINALLY!!! thumbsup.gif You must must get that!

How are you making your tracks last for 35 minutes Burnsie?

When I played,it would only take me 4 minutes at most. huh.gif
BurnSide
The WHOLE game ACG. ALL tracks 35 mins. original.gif

I HATE Wrestling Games. Completely lame.

As for Windwaker, i've never even owned it and i've completed it with every single model in my collection. It's alot of fun, but i don't think the girl is interested and i'm not that bothered in playing it again. The new one is definately worth a good while playing.

Thats about the right lenght of time it would take Burnsie,have you opened all the special tracks yet(like mirror mode)?
BurnSide
No, i haven't completed it all on 150cc yet only 50cc and 100cc.

Man, the battle modes in this one stink, mostly because of the arenas. 4 lousy small arenas. I think i like the N64 Mario Kart better.

I think that the N64 version was a lot better,but I got rid of my N64 when I got rid of my ex.Really regret doing that.............as there are a lot of games I would still love to play on my N64 grin2.gif
Deathbadger11
mario cart double dash, my sisters like it thumbsup.gif
BurnSide
Yeah, that's the game we've been talking about in the last 10 or so posts.

LittleIrishVampiress
ah sure, its his first day rolleyes.gif his first post actually laugh.gif
BurnSide
So you like DD then? grin2.gif

And welcome to the forum, Lord!
LittleIrishVampiress
me? oh yeah! grin2.gif im always yoshi and the turtle with wings guy. i hate those ducks though in peach beach disgust.gif lil' buggars
BurnSide
They are characters in Mario sunshine, and do just that, fling you in the air. Yeah they're annoying but i especially like taking them out with shells or marios fireballs.

I haven't unlocked the Special Cup yet, but i'm upset to find there's no haunted castle type levels like the previous games.
LittleIrishVampiress
we not even close to unlocking it! tongue.gif well my bro sez we are rolleyes.gif sez he knows a way to unlock it from one of his cheat books devil.gif ..woteva tongue.gif
Deathbadger11
im going 2 try to unlock it tonight cool.gif
zygon
the matrix is pretty funky, if you like that kinda game. it has a multiplayer mode that you can unlock either by playing? or by using a cheat. i'm stuck on the first 'boss' though <.<

Eternal darkness is an ok game, no multiplayer, but as someone said, rent it first as it's not for all gamers. and yes, it is fun when you go insane grin2.gif i'm also stuck on that.

i'm also thinking of selling my GC as i never use it and i need money towards a new computer. also prolly selling my guitar as i never use that either
Shakezulah
bah...the matrix is a pretty bad game. way too repetetive. and the multiplayer is really really lame too. its pretty amusing when you get to be cars tho.

and it really sucks when youre insane in ED. i swear to god that is one of the most frusterating motherf***ing parts of a game ive ever played. i got stuck in that game when you had to be the girls father or whatever and all you get is the one shot pistol that takes FOREVER to reload and you have to kill so many monsters with it. also, the sword you get with him sucks. i really didnt find that game fun in any way.
