Skies of Arcadia
Tales of Symphonia

Any of them worth buying?

Tales of Symphonia is the best game since Chrono Trigger IMHO. (My favorite game of all time is Chrono Trigger.) It reminds me a lot of Chrono Trigger in many aspects as well. If you play it, you might see what I mean.

F-Zero GX is a great racing game. Insane and very fun to play multiplayer.

Paper Mario is another great RPG...not on the level of Tales of Symphonia, but great.

Phantasy Star Online...was ok..it wasn't that fun.

Harvest Moon...well it was fun for me, but a lot of people might not like it. I mean it's raising crops and animals. (Much funner than it sounds though!)

AAAAHRR! I just read an Edge article on Skies of Arcadia Legends and I simply MUST have it now! Let's go to Ebay! Or is there someone here willing to sell their copy to me?

You may have more luck seeking out its Dreamcast release...

Reflection · 10-14-2005, 03:10 PM

So far bought F Zero GX. I saw Skies of Arcadia, Baten Kaitos and Tales Of Symphonia in this second hand games store. Said games were new though and were American.

I wonder how much it will go for.

Even though it has a bit "old" graphics, I loved every bit of Skies of Arcadia when I bought it for DC. A great game for a great console...

Reflection, my recommendation is to GET PAPER MARIO 2.

Reflection · 11-13-2005, 12:52 PM

I should receive these games soon-

Sonic Mega Collection
Harvest Moon
Eternal Darkness
Pikmin
Super Monkey Ball

Do you have Metroid Prime?

I bought F Zero GX and Animal Crossing. I heard Metroid Prime is 'too hard' and can get 'a bit confusing' at times. Looks great, though.

My personal verdict. Medium difficulty. And there's a map. Confusion solved.

Starflux · 11-18-2005, 04:37 AM

It's not that confusing, but it can be very difficult. Especially bosses range from 'very challenging' to 'unfairly punishing'. I never got passed the final boss and gave up in frustration.

On another note, I finally got my hands on Skies of Arcadia Legends yesterday! Second hand, but like new! Do you know how difficult it was to get this game in PAL version? And for only 35 euros no less. I'm happy.

On the other hand, I can't play it right now, because I first have to got through my review copy of "Crash Tag Team Racing". Also fun.

footawn · 11-18-2005, 05:31 AM

i hate backtracking in an action game, so that's about as far as i got in metroid prime. lots of backtracking...

beautiful game though.

vivasawadee · 11-18-2005, 08:57 AM

My life won't be complete unless I get a Gamecube and play Zelda : WW

If the GC is on its last leg, thats great cause I'm cheap and will pick up a bargain

Reflection · 11-18-2005, 07:59 PM

Animal Crossing, been playing that for over a month. I only play it for about 30 - 45 mins a day, I get bored easily. Strange game.

And I just bought Skies of Arcadia for £37.

Most of the stores here have taken off most of the Game Cube titles, you can't even find Mario Kart DD!!, Super Mario Sunshine etc.

mouse on mars · 11-22-2005, 01:09 AM

My poor Gamecubes packed up in a box somewhere. It is the first Nintendo machine I have purchased and I hope it's not the last. I love Nintendo games though and all the games I got for it were pretty cool (especially FZero GX it's so so so addictive).

Then after I had a few games I went back to university soooo not much money for gaming and my Gamecubes ports are probably home to five different types of spiders and a owl has probably nested in the nice little hatch....

I've gotta play some Mario Kart tomorrow. If the owl doesn't mind going for a spin ( I can't move him he's protected under conservation laws

).

Intrepid Homoludens · 11-22-2005, 01:33 AM

Awwwww!!! May I have the owl? Pleeeeeaaaase?

Lucien21 · 11-22-2005, 02:45 AM

You can't handle the owl.

...sorry wrong movie
