OK, I bought the GC last week, my first real console since the SNES (I had N64 on two seperate occasions but sold it pretty quickly each time).
Well, first off a brief review of the console. I didn't like the strange, small box shape at first, but now its growing on me, and I like it, I wonder how many MB (or GB) can be stored on those tiny discs. NOT ENOUGH, since Resident Evil comes on 2 discs! Probably should have used larger cds. I really like the controller, Nintendo always makes really wierd lookin controllers that feel really good and work well! Thumbs up to them. The PLUS pad is now basically a thing of the past, its a small feature on the new conroller, taking second place to the analog pad. That's fine by me.
I bought 3 games with my GC, Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader, Resident Evil, and NBA 2002.
Rogue Squadren. Basically this game take the best level of Shadows of the Empire for N64 (The Hoth Level) and makes a whole game out of it. Of course there's levels in space, 2 death star levels, and a new and improved Hoth level. I really like this game, its not too long, but the levels are FUN! The Hoth Level really makes you feel like you're in the movie, its a really immersive experience. There's a ton of features like audio commentaries for each level, and a making of... documentary. Really cool. Overall, 7/10
Resident Evil, I DID NOT know what to expect with this game, I had never seen any previous versions and didn't know what the gameplay was like. I thought it was an action game, but I was PLEASANTLY suprised when I started playing it, and it most reminded me of one of my old favorites SHADOWGATE! YIPPEE! It has awesome graphics, is really immersive (there's that word again) and is just plain fun. 7.5 out of 10
NBA 2002 This is an incomplete review since I haven't played a season, or gotten into the franchise part yet. However, the gameplay is great. It is IMO, better than NBA Live, allthough I haven't played Live 2002. The graphics aren't as good as they could be, but its is fast, fluid, and plays well. And the computer isn't a total pushover on the toughest diff level. 7/10
So, the games I have gotten are overall pretty good, no titles that are must have, but fun games nonetheless. I give the console overall a 8 out of 10, this console is really begging for some KILLER games such as Mario. How many sales did Nintendo lose by not having Mario at launch? Well, all will be good come August.
