2 days left!!!!!
Yup very close now! BUt hey I forgot to do yesterday's blog... So what am I going to talk about. Well as I have been talking about GameCube games. Maybe I should finalise this and tell you about the Creme de Creme of Gamecube games...
Awsome GameCube Games!
Viewtiful Joe
Who's Red, got a pink cape, and who looks awsome wearing it?! It's VJ of course! Viewtiful Joe brings back side scolling platforming and fighting to a new level with aswome cel shading and an art style that not quite manga but then not quite American Comic either. Joe is a movie addict who seems to take his girlfriend, Silvia, to the cinema to watch Power Ranger(Sentai)-eque movies. Whilst Siliva tries her best to bring the sex appeal back into their realitionship, Joe ignores her and watches his favourite Sentai film, Captain Blue. Whilst this happens the movie chages slightly and Siliva is grabbed by the villian in the big screen, and Joe end up getting caught inside too. And discover that he becomes the next best thing to Sentai, Viewtiful.
So why is this an awsome game, as well it's fantasticly crazy story, the gameplay is one of the main elements over the plot and the graphics. Because you're stuck in a movie you can slow and speed the film up, allowing you to execute crazy moves. Whilst a Zoom in and out function allows you to pull off a pose before delivering the final blow to the enemy. Mastering these techniques will earn you heeps of points and will feel seriosly awarded when you can earn new moves that you have bought with the points early in the game.
Not just gameplay, but there's a serious ammount of charm, and crazy characters in the game. Plus it has by far one of the hardest bosses in the DC/PS2/GCN/XBox generation, Fire Leo, that requires some seriously good timeing to dodge those crazy fireballs. Pretty Much I reccomend this game to anyone who want to play something different and/or loves any of the old school style side scrooling platforming games; Super Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Strider, etc...
Super Monkey Ball
Well back, before the GameCube had launched, I saw this game on the internet and really didn't give it much attension. I did exactually what a lot of morons do, judge games by it's cover and looks. Even when I saw it at my local import store, I didn't care about it. But one day after I got my GameCube I saw this game in a shop for a descent price, about £20 I think, took it home and realised how much of a freaking moron I was to disbelieve that this game was awsome. To imagine that this game being so simple is so good, I was instantly hooked. If you have a GameCube and you don't own this game, I'm going to ask you why not?! The reason why I'm getting the new Wii sequel is because Monkey ball is one of those fantastic games you find yourself playing quite a lot.
So those who don't have a clue what this game this... It's simply a Maze game, you got to get from A to B within a time limit, and without falling off the maze. Simply you just push the control stick in the direction you want to move, and thats pretty much it. No complex controls, just all done on the control stick. So what actually makes the game fun then? Well there's a lot of levels, something around 40 or so in the first game, and more in Monkey Ball 2 that are designed really well and can get increbilly challenging. This is defiently a must buy if you own a Gamecube or have just bought a Wii!
Animal Crossing
One of the pinnicle games for the GameCube to date, the fantastic little life/commnuty sim, Animal Crossing. Before I played this game, I had owned a game called the Sims, and oh my, I discovered how it can become easily boring after a while; your little bloke get the best paid job, despite earning loads and barely do anything in his spare time, and I pretty much kept repeating this perticually rotine over and over again until I got seriously bored and sold the god damn freaking game to eBay!
Then this game appeared, I first heard about it being called "Animal Forrest" in Japan that was launched on the N64. It was meant to be launched on the 64DD but was canceled for the disk release and was launched on cartridge instead. It appeared in the western world on the Gamecube, being a port of the N64 game, but offering some extra stuff.
How do you play this game? Well you play as a boy or girl who move away from home to live in a small town situated in a little forest, and next to the coast. And pretty much you live out your life as a villager as you talk to neighbors, run errands, go fishing and dig up treasure. But unlike the Sims there's no "Hunger/Bladder/Social/Sleep" bar, you can do what YOU WANT TO DO, not what the game tells you hat to do! This is something really refreshing to anyone who have played the Sims or any kind of life simulation game and is great fun to play. A must have for any GameCube and newly Wii owners.
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Well, if you want a game that delivers that extra piece of "Pure... PWN-idge", this IS the game. I remember back in the day this game had some serious hype to it; and well, it defiently delivered that hype! As we wait for the next game to appear with the introduction of Snake and possibly other Konami characters. I might as well mention the sheer awsomeness that is, Super Smash Brothers Melee!
A sequel of the great Super Smash Brothers on the N64, the Gamecube game added the cream and the cherry on top by delivering additional characters such as Ganondorf, Ice Climbers and Dr Mario, made the game even more fast paced then the original, and gave previous charaters extra moves to show off. To top it off, the game included new modes such as the All Star mode, the Trophy gallery, Sand Bag mini game, and the insane Multi Man melee modes. If you liked the N64 game, this is a pure drool fest!
Again, in my pledge to gamers, if you own a GameCube or just got a Wii, BUY THIS GAME! It's a freaking compulsory buy! You need SSBM in you collection now! Don't rent it, buy it! I know you will love this game!
