Def Jam Fight For NY (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Electronic Arts

October 01, 2004
This has to be one of the best beat em ups out there, but... I have to say the storyline was great the first time, but the game only took me about a week to complete (probably cos its so addictive) and when I created a new caracter and started again I was disapointed to see that it was following the same story again and that the new caracter had the same voice as the last one!
On the plus side you can buy new moves, clothes, haircuts, bling-bling and fighting styles for your fighter with the cyber money you earn from winning fights, but unfortunitly not a new voice or life story.
Fantastic game, but you will soon get bored once you complete it.

This was a present for my wife, but I think I have played it more.

A must have if you are a Harry fan. Good fun for sports games fan, general good action fun.

I think it is out on all platforms, but the 'Cube version is a lot of fun (I don't know what the others are like).

XIII (GameCube)

As a master of Golden eye, this game is exactly what you would have expected the other Bond titles to be like. Its a little hard to get to grips with and can be taking on the brain in places.

I am only on the 3rd mission as it stands because my memory card died and i lost all my saved games ( :( ).

As I said, if you played golden eye, youll love this. I particularly enjoy taking hostages. Its that aspect of taking the whole anti-hero stance to get what you want.

Not the hardest 1st person ive played and the Z button as a trigger doesnt compare to that on the N64, but its still a great game if you have the patience.

Tony Hawk's Underground (GameCube)

November 21, 2003
All said and done the actual format of the THPS games can never change that much, they are limited to the confines of a skateboard afterall, However, Activision (the team behind the games) always manages to give each competitor in the series a fresh outlook. This might be new tricks, hidden unlockables, more levels, skaters etc. This time around they have really gone all out on changing the format.

Gone is the standard level to level progression you have come to expect so now enters the all new "story mode". Story mode had been billed by Activision as the biggest breakthrough since GTA went 3D, mmmmmm maybe not, it does manage to boot the old format up the behind enough for things to change enough to make it fresh though and for me that is enough. ...

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Activision


If you love Star Wars like my self and fancy a shooting romp, you can't go wrong with this game. Watched New Hope, The Empire Strikes back and Return Of The Jedi? Well you are in for a treat!

The game creates mini levels that cover the best scenes out of all 3 films and does it all in Lego style. Yes, everything just looks like it's made out of Lego and it's way cool.

Most of the levels comprise of running and shooting and a bit of puzzle solving, but nothing to over tax the brain.
Other levels have you flying various space ships or speeders, it's all fun!

The aim of the game is to collect studs and find secret items to unlock bonus levels or characters. This makes the game great as you can blast through it in 7 hours, then ... Read More:

Lost Kingdoms

I can't understand how people could enjoy this. Katia(the main character) does not wield any kind of weaponary - and relys on pitiful cards which quickly disappear. And how is a fog "evil"? Lack of good ideas is obvious, the graphics are fine, but the expressionless frames of wiry characters is a disapointment. Boredom sets in after a matter of minutes of playing this game. DO NOT BUY IT. I rented it and found i could not stop turning the Gamecube off. At least Super Smash Bros. Melee is superior . . .
