Super Monkey Ball

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Atari

May 03, 2002
You have to try this for pure novelty value! i mean monkeys in balls! c'mon thats funny!.

The first few levels you get to grips with controlling your monkey ball and it can be very satisfying to reach the goal! you find you are willing the ball to go in the right direction and end up holding the controller at bizarre angles in the hope it will make the ball go more left!.

Sadly as with most games - things get harder! MUCH harder! good lord! there were levels where it starts, you breath, and the ball falls off the side! ARGGGGG!!! i can honestly say it really is the most frustrating game i have played on the Gamecube!. I never bothered to finish it. Maybe i was just rubbish at it?!?.

One good thing is the ... Read More:

Sonic Mega Collection

It's basically the Sonic games from the Megadrive. I bought it for nostalgia but was actually bored to play these games again. Why get a Gamecube to play megadrive games on it. There are way better platforms to get on the GC. Super Mario Sunshine is ace!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GameCube)

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

November 15, 2002
On the upside, this is great fun, the levels aren't too challenging but require a certain element of skill, the grounds are very explorable and the side quests and items to collect will keep you very much entertained.

On the downside, the similarities to the book or film are tangeable, the graphics aren't groundbreaking (particularly now) and it is much, much too short.

Overall, if you are a Harry Potter fan, enjoy games which you can complete in a relatively short space of time without too much frustration and can pick this up cheap, then go for it. Otherwise, this game is not for you.

Sonic Heroes (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Sega

February 06, 2004
This is an extremely fun & enjoyable Sonic experience. I think that this is the best Sonic game since Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Mega Drive/Gensis. Any kid aged 9-15 would truly enjoy this game!
However this game is let down by the fact that the game has quite a few bugs such as dead enemies getting stuck in walls & menus freezing causing you to have to reset the game in order for them to work. Another flaw is that the Voice Acting is very "corny & cheesy" as some would say. But dispite this the game has very good graphics & the controls are very polished. Any Sonic fan will enjoy this game! A great buy!

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: EA Games

November 22, 2002
Ty The Tasmanian Tiger is a brand new saga featuring Ty who is a Tasmanian Tiger, as the title of the game says. Ty is from Australia and his accent more or less Australian.

Ty The Tasmanian Tiger is part of the cartoon fiction characters and has known to become part of the Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario collection!

The story goes in which long ago a battle was fought over the fate of five mystic Talismans between Boss Cass and a family of Tasmania Tigers. Boss Cass managed to trap all Thylacines in the Dreamtime by using these, although the portal was destroyed and the talismans got scattered thanks to one of Tasmanians throwing his boomerang to dislodge the talismans. A family of Bilbies adopted ... Read More:

Super Monkey Ball 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Atari

March 14, 2003
What people need to keep in mind is that Super Monkey Ball is a bit of light-hearted fun. Saying that, some stages can keep you rigid with tension and then overcome by the euphoria of finally completing them. I have SMB1, but it remains very much unplayed in contrast to its sequel. If the cut scenes annoy you in story mode, then you can just skip them. In addition, the excellent party games have brightened many rainy afternoons. Superb level design coupled with tight controls; in my eyes, this game does no wrong.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Sierra

November 01, 2002
This game is very poor. As soon as i started to play it i realised that it was just an old crash game done up a bit. Things that had made old crash games good had been taken away in a bid to make the new game much better but rather than doing that it just makes the player realise the crash games are outdated and have NOTHING NEW TO OFFER US.

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).

Wave Race: Blue Storm

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
WAVE RACE BLUE STORM SPLASHES DOWN ON GAMECUBE. IS IT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL OR, LIKE MANY CONVERSIONS, A QUICK GRAPHICALLY ENHANCED REHASH?
Despite being one of the launch titles for the Nintendo 64, Wave Race 64 remained one of the consoles most innovative and graphically astonishing games. It's water effects were like nothing seen before and the game provided a refreshing change from all the endless driving titles out there. Well, if you thought the graphics in WR64 were good - you ain't seen nothing yet!
Those of you are not familiar with the WR format; WRBS is a jet-ski racing game where, like in any other racing game, your objective is to beat your opponents round various circuits. But racing on water means every race is different due to the unpredictability ... Read More:

Bomberman Generation (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo GameCube
from: Sierra


Like all Bomberman games, the multiplayer is spot on, with a variety of different modes to keep you and your friends happy. The graphics have also taken a nice turn, into a colourful and cartoony look. It's a shame the single player mode is soooo boring. Younger children may find it satisfying, but it's just not challenging enough. Again the graphics in single player are about the best thing.
Only buy this if you intend to play with friends.
