[Lee_eel]

Timesplitters 2

[Ravenger]

Eternal Darkess is a great spooky action adventure game.

RE4 is by far the best console game I've ever played.

[the_running_man]

Another vote for Resident Evil 4.

[GProject]

For platform games surely it's all about the Mario Sunshine. I love them also, but they're a dying breed these days (if there are any other good GC platformers let me know!)

I'm not massively into FPS but I have Timesplitters 2 which is ok, and XIII which I really like but everyone else seems to hate. Outside of that Mario Kart is a solid choice, and of course you have to play Zelda: The Wind Waker which is simply fantastic.

Resident Evil 4 :)

[maddogsuk]

Mario kart. Didn't like Battlemode on the game cube version though.

[Steve Jackson]

*Another* Resident Evil 4 vote, and almost as good, and possibly my favourite Gamecube exclusive - Eternal Darkness.

[KeyserSoze]

God dammit when are HMV gonna ship RE4? Its been like 2/3 months now :eek:

you most likely wont get it. They do this all the time.

[Questor]

I never got round to Playing Eternal Darkness - is it worth picking up now it's so cheap?

Oh, and for my money:
Metroid Prime 1&2
Paper Mario
Monkey Ball
Mario Sunshine
Resident evil Zero
Ikaruga
Zelda Wind Waker (My personal fave)

[sleep4ever]

The instant answer being, predictably 'Resident Evil 4', an essential purchase

It would be a crime not to, it's a Gamecube essential in my opinion.

Another Vote for the Resident Evil games.

I think Zelda WW was the first Zelda game to dissapoint. You spend hours in your boat trying not to fall asleep while you travel the ocean, and it's not always clear what you have to do next.

[earl_roberts2002]

Resi 4 & 1 [the remake]
Metal Gear
Tales of Eternia
Donkey Konga with bongos

Seriously? From what I've played of WW so far it's one of the more linear Zelda games I've seen. Way more linear than Ocarina of Time was for sure. And although the sailing thing is annoying, you can move to places quicker later on in the game - it's only like the horse-riding across Hyrule field was in OoT.

[James45]

Windwaker is superb, as is:

Resident Evil 4
Pikmin 1 and 2
Eternal Darkness
Metroid Prime
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2
Mario Sunshine (well the the half that's possible for mortal man)
Mario Kart

[duckwaffle]

Skies of Arcadia: Legends. Started playing this about a week ago and it's absolutely brilliant.
Can't believe no-one's mentioned Animal Crossing.

[Lee_eel]

thanks everyone. Just out of interest is the Gamecube version of Time splitters 2 as fast as PS2 in split screen mde?

[Steve Jackson]

I haven't played the PlayStation version but I've had this for both the Xbox and the GC and I don't remember any major differences. If I recall correctly the IGN head-to-head article at the time said there wasn't much between the three versions.

I'd try and get TimeSplitters: Future Perfect instead though if possible as this has a far, far better single player mode. The disjointed solo campaign was the biggest critism of TS2.

[Evilbones]

Many a mentioned, heres some more

Soul Calibur 2
Killer 7
Gun (If its Cheap as chips)
Burnout 1 & 2
Spartan
Dance Mario
1080
Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2
Prince of Persia 1,2, and 3
Harvest Moon
Beyond Good and Evil
Wave Race
Odama

And of course Chibi Robo

[camaj]

Do a search on the forum for "Gamecube" there's about 20 threads all asking what the best GC games are

[unrealnils]

whats the best multiplayer ones ?

[Ono]

Well, we love the Mario Party games at Christmas.

[Steve Jackson]

Pacman Vs is a great laugh, if you have a GBA and link cable.

[tawsi]

whats the best multiplayer ones ?

How many people are you talking about. I always liked Rebel Strike in coop mode.

[unrealnils]

primarily 2/3 maybe 4.........

Just moved into a new place to find 2 of the female house mates are down with the cube, seems the last guy had a wii and they played mario kart (gc) a lot on it.

So i grabbed my cube form home but i mostly have games like RE4, zelda, metriod.

Been plauyig mulitplayer metriod but its a bit naff so waa wandering whats good and fun, with some girly games too......

Mario karts first on the list :D


thats said it was fun chilling while we toke tunrs playing resident evil 4, jebus how good is that game :D

[MetalGearAl]

I've found it hard to get everyone involved, but when you are Mario Party 5 is absolutely ace. Even the ice-hockey + volleyball are good for passing a quick 30 minutes.

Monkey Ball 2 isn't that bad either.

I've always wanted to play Four Swords with 4 people but have never had the means - I can't imagine many people did! Glad it only cost me a tenner.

[Steve Jackson]

I mentioned Pacman Vs above, and here are some more multi-player essentials:

* Bomberman Generation
* Donkey Konga
* Ribbit King
* Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
* Super Monkey Ball
* Super Monkey Ball 2.
* TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
* WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Game$

[tawsi]

It wasn't helped by the DS being incompatible with the link cable. The couple of times I did manage to play it with a few people it was fun. I'd love to see it ported to the Wii and DS.

[Steve Jackson]

Ooops.

[Steve Jackson]

I've been meaning to get Four Swords for ages. Is there a link cable for the Micro? If so, then I already have an original GBA, and a GBA SP, so would only need one more GBA and cable which should be cheap at somewhere like Gamestation (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=52).

I'd love to see it ported to the Wii and DS.
I can't believe that apart from DS demo downloads via the Nintendo channel and Pokemon Battle Revolution, that Nintendo haven't made use of Wii / DS link-up capabilities yet.

[jester]

I have been butin up super cheap games second habd for our two game cubes in anticipation of the kids getting into them.

For me though the biggest disappoinment GC wise was the lack of kit to plug into all those lovely ports on the bottom. :cuckoo:

[ArcAngel]

I can't believe that apart from DS demo downloads via the Nintendo channel and Pokemon Battle Revolution, that Nintendo haven't made use of Wii / DS link-up capabilities yet.

Can the Wii/DS connect directly to each other or do they need to pass-through a wireless rounter?

[rbullivant]

Zelda Four Swords!

R

[internetuser]

the WWE No Mercy games are good for multi player fun.

[Ste7en]

I never got round to Playing Eternal Darkness - is it worth picking up now it's so cheap?

Oh, and for my money:
Metroid Prime 1&2
Paper Mario
Monkey Ball
Mario Sunshine
Resident evil Zero
Ikaruga
Zelda Wind Waker (My personal fave)

Where is Eternal Darkness cheap? It's well worth getting.

Ikaruga is great! I have it on the Dreamcast but I love the way the GC controller feels so I tend to play it on that.

I quite like Billy Hatcher too.

[omega man]

Quite enjoyed Viewtiful Joe on the gamecube...

[CURLYSUE]

Resident Evil 4. Great Graphics ( hard to believe its a Gamecube Game)
Mario Kart
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
