Oh, not to mention all those sweet single player games (Metroid (DUH!), Mario, Starfox, Pikmin, Resident Evil, etc etc etc etc)

Don't forget FIFA 2002.

I picked up both a GC and an Xbox within a week of each other and have about 10 games for each.

Gamecube is hands down my favorite. If you like sports or racing it's the wrong system, but for everything else it's great.

I love Mario Sunshine and Luigi, the originality is great.

Rallisport Challenge for the Xbox is awesome, but I feel that Sega GT and Project Gotham are both pretty lacking. No analog speed/brakes in Sega GT, and the graphics aren't anything special in either.

I've been far more impressed with what I've seen on the Gamecube graphics wise. The lighting and effects in Luigi are fantastic. That may change when I get Splitner Cell tomorrow though.

I love the feel of the GC controller, and the layout (although not having 8 buttons or the normal 6 layout is bad for fighters). They should have added a Z button on the left side.

The Xbox controller kinda sucks (S version). The grips are too short, and the black and white buttons need to be raised, not indented, I can't hit them. The select and start buttons need to be in the middle, or need to be reversed.

The GC controller is lacking in the rumble department. I thought it was great...until I got the Xbox. Holy freaking cow, now that's rumble! Microsoft hit the nail on the head with that design, it's perfect. In Rallisport Challenge the feedback is great and you can really tell how the car is handling. I've been blown away with it. It even makes the controller rattle sometimes because it vibrates so much.

i was thinkin of gettin either and xbox or gamecube, which do you guys think is better?

 

[iamme]

Love me GC

Jooksing go to www.nintendo.com for a limited time only you can get a 25.00 mail in rebate for one week only. That brings the GC down to 125.00 for you. They also have five dollars off up to five select games including metroid prime all through mail in rebate.

Wow, its great to see all you fellow Cubists in here I have been getting depressed lately with the console wars I was having with my friends... it seemed I was the only one on the cubes side.
But besides all the great games that bring back memorories (mario, metroid) I think it's awesome that nintendo is pushing for a more mature games on their console finally.

BrunoPuntzJones let me know when you get splinter cell how it is. I like anything that involves tom clancy.

--Deffinately get a cube--

You might want to try asking that question in a more neutral thread if still unsure

I don't see a lot of people loving wave race, but playing it in the store along with Rogue Leader made me buy the gamecube.
I killed myself with wave race beating it on the expert level but I finally did. Rogue is REALLY hard at least to get gold medals.

I concur.

Nintendo needed to do something to shake the kiddy look they had...they're finally getting some awesome titles out for the "mature" audience.

I hated wave race and rogue leader (first game I bought for gamecube) was OK but nothing great, IMHO.

Different strokes for different folks

I own SSX and haven't played it much yet..... I will maybe. I'm contemplating selling the whole shebang since I really don't play it as much as I should.

How much are you thinking of asking for it? I'm sure someone from this forum would be willing to buy it from you for the right price.

Joo need Super Smash Brothers Melee.

I haven't played xbox, so i can't give you an unbiased answer. you should check out the game libraries for each console and see which one fits you better. I came real close to getting an xbox due to how awesome the Live! was beginning to sound, but I found a really sweet deal on a GC and picked it up instead.

i'm pretty glad i did too, cuz there are more games that my wife would enjoy on the GC than on the xbox, like animal crossing. She's addicted to outlaw golf too!

ohtwell, i've been debating on getting SSX Tricky, but to rent it would be $7 and to buy would be under $20... is it REALLY that fun? something i won't get bored with in 3 days?

 

[mchammer187]

luvin the cube

i currently have

Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness and Metroid Prime

i will probably get Resident Evil Zero, Phantasy Star Online and Animal crossing when they reduce in price

anyone else have any other suggestions?

i mostly like RPG's , and adventure games like metroid prime


i also have a PS2 and i like that better just because of the RPGs (FF, Suikoden , Wild Arms)

gfx-wise i dont think there is a better game on PS2 Xbox or Cube that is better than metroid prime
and yes i've seen splinter cell

i plan on gettin an X-box pretty soon for Mechassault , Cell and Live

gotta love 3 way console luvin

I have dreamcast and GC in my TV. I am so hankering to get an XBOX to play on live.

I use my DC a lot when people come over, so I can't dump that. I don't want to have 3 consoles running at once.

Damn darn darn...

Get one of those composite splitters from RadioShack. It's not too bad to run many consoles at once then. I have GC, N64 and Super Nintendo hooked up to one TV this way.

Why not have 3 running??

I have a cube and an X-Box. Both have their strengths and I like em both.

But in another room I still have an N-64, Super Nintendo, and a Sega Genesis/CD system!!!!

Thats some REAL old games.

Well sorta. I guess I could dig the Fairchild Channel F outta the garage if I want to see truly primitive graphics!
