Works great, keep in mind the audio cables. Works great however one thing most people seem to be glossing over is that the audio is coming out in the RCA cords which most TV's are not going to play nice with as they want either it all coming in on the RCA or the VGA cable plus a audio aux cable. Have mine setup at my desk plugged into a monitor and the audio going into my speakers.
If you are getting this be sure to pick up a female RCA to 3.5mm audio aux male (they're about $6) so that you can plug into either your speaker system or the aux in on your TV. Also audio coming out is at full volume so turn your speakers all the way down and slowly move it up. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Classic game. Luigi's Mansion is one of those games unlike any other. The idea is original and they made this game really well.
You're Luigi and you have just won a new mansion in a raffle. Once you get to your mansion you realize that it's been haunted by ghosts. As you go into the mansion you meet the crazy professor who wants to capture the ghosts to study them.
There are four chapters to this game.
The first chapter is really easy and linear.
As you move into the second chapter, you're introduced to new hallways, new rooms, new ghosts, new perks, and it's a real step up from the first chapter.
The third chapter introduces the use of fire and ice that you can use with your vacuum to help you catch more ghosts.
The fourth chapter is the most fun chapter in my opinion in which you can access the entire mansion. You will have to catch Boos which are scattered in the entire mansion, and will force you to go back to the beginning of the game to get all of them. If you get all the Boos you get a huge cash prize for doing so, which is a side goal as you catch all the ghosts.
If you get enough money then at the end of the game you get a picture of what you used your money to buy. S rank is the huge mansion while the last rank is just a tent which is hilarious.
The bosses are difficult and makes you think outside the box.
This game at times made me scared which is surprising for a Mario game but it is nothing but fun. Get this game for your collection. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Sweet GBA game. I don't usually spend time writing internet reviews but this game seemed to stack itself up pretty well against some of the other GBA titles (which are auctually getting pretty good!) This is a good turn for the better in the way of action\RPG\adventure on the GBA. I'm a big Sony fan but nintendo is the master at handheld gaming.
I'm a avid gamer but am also a hardcore otaku (think like REALLY BIG!) Dragon ball Z is a okay series ( not meaning to bash Mr. Toriyama cause he's really cool ) But for a person thats new to anime I would recommend a series like Trigun or Gundam Wing vecause they aren't too mature for younger kid's and are total classics and still remain popular series. Dragon ball Z is more of
a kid series (though it still manages to kick some serious BUTT especially if you've seen the unedited and remains the longest running series!!) | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |

Useful Little Game Pad. <div id="video-block-R20ARCQZ8288RP" class="a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-mini video-block"></div><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/D1LoxSgSgzS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/0104%2BdLBmrS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> Its a great little game pad which can be very useful for someone that likes to play games on Android devices.
I did test it out on a Zopo Speed 7 Plus, a Chuwi Hibook and also on a Android TV Box with some nice results as you may see on the pictures and also on video.
This is a budget game pad and i see it as such, but the only reason i given 4 stars was the built quality of the plastic. I do believe that it could be a little bit better, i have used other game pads on this price range and the plastics were a bit better, they could work not as good as the Benbocool does but the built quality was a bit better.
That said the joysticks have a kind of rubber which gives a bit more grip when we are using it but the rest is cheap plastic. It also has a nice rubber protection where we place the phone so it is protected.
In terms of packaging it comes with a:
- Gamepad
- Charging Cable
- User Guide
- Carrying Pouch
Usage is really simple, all we need to do is press the home button fopr about 6 seconds so it enters pairing mode and then connect it to any android device.
There are 2 mods that are very useful which are the Mouse and Game pad mode. There is a 3rd one but i don't see the need for it personally.
So in conclusion i do believe that its very handy and useful and the mouse feature is not available on all game pads so for those that will use these on a tv for example this is actually a nice game pad to have in consideration.
Note: A test sample was sent for testing and reviewing purposes. The review it self is my own opinion. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A great breath of fresh air for 1/2 of the Mario Bros team. So Gamecube might not have launched with a Mario game but Luigi finally starred in his own title! Though not a platformer this game is engaging and fun all the same. It's got a fun Ghostbusters-esque gameplay theme, and it's fun to explore every nook and cranny of the mansion. Luigi really should get more time in the spotlight, especially if he continues to star in games like this. Though I owned a Gamecube at its launch I only recently played this game in its entirety. In the end I kicked myself for not playing this sooner. If you missed out on this the first time, don't pass it by again! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Fun? You bet! Frustrating? YOU BET. I reviewed this literally hours after I bought it and gave it raves. I was still in the (exhaustive) training mode and having a blast. Several dozen missions (and three sets of AA batteries) later I'm still playing but now it's about revenge. The Computer player always has more bases, more vehicles and more aircraft than you ever have. I've switched the game off mid-mission out of sheer frustration at the imbalances in this game, but ultimately I have to encourage anyone who enjoys a challenge to buy this game immediately. It's worth it for those times when you've finally got the computer on the run and are beating it's brains out and you'll love every minute of that! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
RPG fans rejoice. This game is phonomenal! Me and my friend bought the day it came out. The graphics are simple and smooth in towns, a little lower in quality is the world map graphics, but in battle is where GS really shows what a GBA can do. You are Isaac a Adept of Earth from the town of Vale, you go on a quest with your best friend Garet an Fire Adept to save the world. So the storyline isn't anything really special but the gameplay is excellent. You will meet 2 other friends who will join you on your quest Ivan and Mia. The 4 of you go off on a quest to try and stop evil Adepts from lighting the 4 lighthouses which if lit will give the evil adepts the power to destroy the world. You go from town to town killing monsters, learning spells and moves, going on sub quests and adventures, finding djinn(little monsters which you can summon in battle to fight with) with one ultimate goal of saving the world. This game has stunning graphics, awsome game play, decent replay value, and isn't too challenging. Let me correct amazon.com, they say at the top of this page it's 4 players, it's not, but it is 2 player, both players must have a GS cartridge to play though. A masterpeice of a game! Anyone who has a GBA, loves RPG's, and likes to have fun should purchase this. It's worth the (money)!!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
WWE should drop THQ. Why can't THQ make a wrestling game decent? In WWE Day of Reckoning for Gamecube and WWE Raw2 for Xbox has the best created wrestler feature of anything I've ever played. Yet the game play of both games are complete garbage.
Then you have WWE Smackdown vs Raw and all Smackdown games before Smackdown vs Raw for the ps2 and it has an amazing gameplay. But the created wrestler feature is pathetic. (Expecially in Smackdown vs Raw)
So here is what I don't understand. If THQ makes Smackdown vs Raw and Day of Reckoning. Can't they make a game that has good game play and good created wrestler features?
Hello? I've played every THQ wrestling game ever made and I can honestly say that I now hate THQ and I will never buy one of their games again until they get it right. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Shenmue breaks new ground. I have to hand it to Yu Suzuki and Sega. Their games may not be immediate classics, but they are clearly groundbreaking, and players will look back at them and say "wow, I can't believe this game was that inventive".
I've played Shenmue for only a few days, and I have to say it's one of the best games I've ever played. The quality and attention to graphic detail is stunning. Clearly, when you're looking at some characters' face it's hard to imagine that they are made up of polygons.
Twitch gamers will not be happy. If you're in for a quick, visceral fix you'll be disappointed. But if you like exploring, like seeing what's behind the corner or underneath that tricycle or even what's in someone's desktop drawer, you will be estatic.
Shenmue is just one of those games you can sit down and play. Play and play. Even without following the plotline to the tee, you can still do a million things.
If you have a Dreamcast buy Shenmue. If you don't have a Dreamcast, do yourself a favor and get one. This game, and many others (hint, hint, NFL2K1, hint) are definitely worth it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
These controllers suck. I was gonna give it a 2 star rating at the least, but these controllers suck entirely. I bought them to have some old-school gamecube smash bros melee games, and ended up pissed off at the maker of the product. The soft-tops on all four of my controllers have come off, and now they practically cut into your fingers as you play.
PROS:
None
CONS:
Thumbstick pads ALL popped off (off ALL 4 PURCHASED CONTROLLERS)
"L" and "R" buttons stick on 3 of the 4 controllers I bought.
"Fluidity" of controls not smooth at all. Original Gamecube controllers beat these in every comprehensively imaginable way known to man. DON'T PURCHASE. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
One of the best Sims for a console. I played this game years ago and was delighted when I found it available online for purchase. I enjoy this game because there's a direct line of what happens in the game, with goals, promotions, and moving from different places. The only complaint I have is that when you want to build, you can only do so much before a bar fills and won't allow you to do so anymore. This game allows for same-sex relationships, which back when this game was made, was very controversial still. This has always been one of my favorite Sims games, especially for a TV console. Have fun choosing between careers, interactions with other sims, and accomplishing goals as you get closer to "winning" the game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great deal. If you have ever wanted a dreamcast and like sports games, you will love this bundle. You get the best system EVER, the dreamcast, and the most convenient controller. It also includes three games:
1. NBA 2K1-Awesome control and great commentary make this game one of the best. You can even play outside!
2. World Series Baseball 2K1-Great graphics are the highlight of this game. However, the batting control is terrible and you don't control your defense. Also, the commentator sounds like he doesn't care.
3. NFL 2K1-Good graphics, TV-like appearance, and awesome control make this a great game. I think it is the best dreamcast sports game ever.
I'd buy this as fast as you can. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Packed With Surprises. "Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3" is based on the Super NES game "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island", which was one of the best Super NES games. The GBA version of this game includes not only this game, but also the classic Mario Bros. arcade game, which can be played by up to four players using the link cable.
The story of this game begins when a stork is up to deliver two little baby brothers to their parents. Suddenly, Kamek appears and takes the babies, but one of them, Baby Mario, accidentally falls. Kamek then leaves, taking the baby with him. Baby Mario falls on Yoshi's back. He seems to know where his brother is. Now you, as Yoshi, are responsible to pass through all the levels until you get to the place where Baby Mario's brother is. With Yoshi's abilities of throwing eggs, eating the enemies, and flying in midair, you will need to pass through more than 45 levels in this game. You'll need to be careful, though. If someone or something hits Yoshi, Baby Mario will be stuck in a bubble and start crying.
You'll have hours of fun playing this game. It's packed with fun and surprises. If you manage to collect all the stars, red coins, and flowers in each level, you will unlock secret levels. I reccommed this game to anyone. So, if you don't have it, you should buy it. It is really worth the money. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The best Final Fantasy you've never played. This title marks the point where the folks at Squaresoft finally hit their stride. Though previous FF titles offered battle systems, story elements, and world designs that were unique enough to sustain a loyal fandom, FFIV was the first home run.
Though FFIV, originally released in the U.S. on the Super Nintendo as "Final Fantasy 2", lacks the complexity of proceeding titles such as FF6 and on, this game offers much to RPG fans. I'll add that if you've never played an RPG before, FF4 is a wonderful choice as an introduction balancing challenge and simplicity well.
In this game you control Cecil and his band of warriors as they attempt to thwart a powerful dark wizard and a corrupt kingdom from unleashing ultimate destruction upon their world. Cecil is a conflicted character who must betray his own kingdom and his whole way of life to wield the power to fight evil. (I'm not giving much away here, you find this out in the first five minutes or so).
When I say world I mean world. This game was one of the first to enable you to explore a mode 7 "globe" complete with continents, landforms, and towns. As you seek new powers to aid you in your quest, you will also make new friends, discover new weapons, more efficient forms of transport, and you will add and (gulp) lose beloved party members along the way. A new player could spend 40-60 hours playing this game before reaching the end of this tale.
Ultimately, FF4 delivers well designed gameplay and an easy to use battle system, a compelling story, memorable characters (slashdot.com still uses Tellah and Edward as icons for their gaming articles), and beautiful music to keep you playing to the finish. Trust me, you'll like it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
WOW! NOT JUST ANOTHER INFRARED. I recently purchased this controller, and it is great. I don't agree with the negative reviews, but I have an idea about why they gave it a bad review. The guy who was talking about this and an xbox controller saying the wavebird is terrible is probably a ps2 fan. The guy who talked about lag was probably reffering to infrared [nightmare] controllers. This controller may look uncomfortable, but it isn't. Infact, I actually think it is slightly more comfortable than a regular controller. This controller is awsome. Because it is RF, you don't have to worry about lag or holding it in the wrong way. You can play through walls. It even includes batteries. Everyone knows how rare that is. Probably 99% of toys that need batteries say "batteries not included." Plus, you can get it for as little as $30. With 16 channels, you don't have to worry about interferance. THIS CONTROLLER IS AWSOME! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Works great for Gamecube games. Works very well for a third party GC memory card. Used it for about a week and not a single game file has corrupted. If you're looking for a 1019 block GC memory card but don't want to shell out the $20, this is what you're looking for.
NOTE: As other buyers state, this item say's Wii memory card on the packaging it comes in. This memory card is actually for a system called Nintendo GameCube. It does work on the Wii but only to save Nintendo Gamecube Games. If you're looking for a Wii memory card for Wii games, that would an SD card you're looking for. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A Good game which redefines gimmick. The word gimmick is usually used negatively, as gimmicks are often used to try and save a terrible game. Well, in Boktai, the sun sensor only adds even more depth and innovation to the game.
You play as Django, the youngest in a family of vampire-hunters. Your weapon? The ''Gun Del Sol'', a pistol that fires beams of light. Your gun is very customizible, with many different lenses, batteries, grenades, and frames. However, your ammo is limited. Need more? Get outside in the sun and hold A! For cloudy days, you can used stored energy you put in the bank. And don't worry, its not at all a hassle, it just takes a minute.
You go through the game encountering dungeons and castles, each castle containing a vampire-boss. These bosses can only be fought in the sun, and once defeated, must be dragged to a nearby purification piledriver. Then, you must fight to purify the vampire once and for all.
The game also knows the time, the date, and where you live. After entering it at the beggining, the game uses YOUR time to decide whether its day or night in the game. It also tells you when events such as dawn, nightfall, and full moons occur.
All in all, this is a great game with a very innovative premis. AND IT ACTUALLY GETS GAMERS TO GO OUTSIDE!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
great game but not complete. This is a great old school biohazard game but you should be warned, this version on the dreamcast has the most features and highest resolution and pairing this game with a vga adaptor = heaven. One thing I found is that even though this has the most content there is content on the n64 version in the form of files regarding billy, even though it is just in game text concerning billy and not a new gun or anything like that its still something, also If I remember right there is a bonus level that you access by a gameshark involving leon in a clocktower however I haven't found how to access it, but if your looking for the best version of the game go with dreamcast, best graphics, more content and added VMU assistance is wonderful. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Next Generation Gameplay: E-reader. the e-reader is an incredible device for the gameboy advance why?what do you think about complete nes games that comes in trading cards for 5 bugs each ,pretty cool huh, but wait theres more
this are great news for pokemon fans the reason? pokemon-e are special trading cards that have special minigames and tips videos sound effects and also special features like a coin flipper for your game boy to be found.and this is the begining why if for the next megaman battle network you can buy megaman-e cards for make megaman more powerful or to have new techniques i think that nintendo can do great things whith this incredible product so what are you waiting for? buy it and you won't regret it | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
MDK: Murder, Death, Kill Myself. Let me tell you, this game is great in many ways... absolutely stunning graphics, 3 unique characters, a fun premise. So why only three stars? This game is unbelievably, totally, ...-crazily, ludicriously, ridiculously hard. I can't tell you how frustrating it is. I gave up. The enemies are so hard that you think they are bosses, and soon, you actually come to a boss and you just play over and over, and over, and over again...and it never helps. So, I was so mad, I stooped to the lowest level, and no...MDK2 is not supported by Gameshark. So, unless you are a game master over the age of 16, I don't recommend this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
We were pretty excited about these. A buddy of mine and I play a lot of SSB... I mean a lot. We were pretty excited about these, and in grand total we have bought 5 of them between us... but only because 3 of them have broken. The right bumper stopped responding on one, the cable housing came apart when it was plugged into the adapter on the second, making it basically impossible to remove without damaging the wires (in fairness, could have partly been a problem with the adapter as well) and the third just plain stopped working at all.... So I am giving 2/5 stars for the two remaining controllers of the 5 we have bought since these came out.
For the record, we aren't the rage quitting types so they weren't being abused. They were just poorly made. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Barebones Arcade-Style Wrestling...But at least it's fun. Don't buy this game if you're looking for detailed creat-a-wrestler modes, don't buy if if you're looking for a complex grappling system, don't buy it if you're looking for photo-realistic versions of your favorite WWF superstars, don't even buy it if you're looking for a wrestling game even remotely close to any of the more recent simulations of the sport. Instead, if you like good-old arcade-style fare (think Pro Wrestling on the NES) and don't mind the low-poly look of the combatants, grab this one quick. This IS an arcade game, so gameplay is fast and furious, and thanks to the ROYAL RUMBLE event, not as long as you'd usually want it (forget about wearing the opponent down, throw him out of the ring). Gameplay is competent, and it's a blast for multiplayer gaming, espectially among WWF fans, since most of the major stars are there (Rock, Undertaker, Big Show, Austin, etc.). A fun, easy to pick-up game, that's not too fun to play alone. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Good Try. Clone wars starts up with triumphant music and makes you feel great, but this game is depressing later. The single player game is kinda forced on ya at times and almost too hard. You also spend most of the time in 2 vehicles, the Assault shuttle and the hover tank. The Assault shuttle missions are awesome with turrents, rockets and a chain gun, but the tank missions [aren't good], the infantry missions are also VERY lacking ... . Multiplayer is where the game takes off, Some missions are epic where bases build units and you fight eachother with SEVERAL units and some are just basic deathmatch or capture the flag. You can be several vehicles from the cool rocket rollers to the AT walkers. Some vehicles are left out and leave you wanting to play them, such as the 6 legged walkers. After awhile though, the multiplayer seems lacking too, it is repetitive, the vehicles have 2 weapons and they become boring. The game is dramatic at first and some of the missions are really enjoyable, but multiplayer is where this game is. 4 people blowing eachother away with units left and right and emplacements everywhere is how this game is played. If your a die hard Star Wars fan buy it, otherwise, try it first. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Did NOT receive item ordered and very dissatisfied. What a disappointment on his birthday to find we'd been sent a 'Tower Magnifier' instead of the flip light we'd expected. Company claims this is the 'new replacement' and after days of emails, we finally were able to get this flimsy piece to light up. Our son doesn't use it but will sit under a table lamp instead. The tower piece is clumsy and hard to pull up and down and the light is minimal, at best. Also, since this unit runs off the batteries of the GBA, instead of having it's own power supply, it drains the game very quickly.
I do NOT recommend this item under any circumstance. What a waste of money. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
One of my favorite games of all time. With today's ultra-realistic sports games it's tough to imagine the impact a game like this would have. But at the time it was released on the Sega Genesis, Mutant League Hockey was (and still is) one of the most entertaining games available on that console, or any console since for that matter.
MLH obviously makes no attempt to be a "realistic" hockey game, but is rather a hockey-based game with a whole lot of twists. Fans throw weapons--whips, bats, even chainsaws--into the ring and players can actually be killed during the game. Each team has several special "trick" moves available that rely on some sort of trickery (like an exploding puck) to give them an advantage in the game. Even the ice rinks themselves pose a hazard--there are spikes along some of the edges that can impale your team and if a player falls through a hole in the ice you'll likely see his silhouette pass underneath the ice. Oh, and the goals are alive and will eat your players if they get too close.
As is probably apparent by now this is quite a violent game, not for the very weak at heart. Still, the violence is cartoonish and not realistic at all, and some of the mayhem (like the exploding pucks) is quite funny. MLH provides countless hours of entertainment. This is definitely a must-own if you have a Genesis, and let's hope EA decides to re-release the game on another platform. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
a great game. this is one of the few games based on a Nintendo character, with a slight twist to the gameplay or game idea, that has gotten nearly unanimous positive feedback, unlike Mario Sunshine or Zelda. This game is part FPS, part puzzle solving, part exploration. A great combination for this game.
You start off on a Space Pirate Research Station (...i think that's what it's called). You learn how to use the Grapple Beam, (not much use since you cant use it after until later areas), the Arm cannon, and the Morph Ball. When you defeat the first boss, you have to escape, and in the process, you lose all your power ups (missiles, charge beam, morph ball) and you have to get them back in Chozo Ruins.
This game has some unlockable features such as Art Galleries, the Fusion Suit, and even a playable NES version of Metroid.
This game has tons of replay value because there will probably be some times in the game where you'll wish you had scanned that boss or collected that power up when you can't. Plus it's an extremely fun game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Actually not that bad. Being a fan of the manga(and I've also seen the Memory Arc, which is cool. Also, it has Overlap, arguably the best anime opening ever), I actually decided to try this game out. It actually wasn't that bad. The story is an original one, unlike Sacred Cards which just retold the Battle City story arc, however, I feel that it does take a few ideas from the anime's Doma Organization storyarc. In it, something called the Reshef is threatening all of mankind. When Ishizu senses this, it's up to our main character, Yugi Mutou, and Katsuya Jonouchi(Joey in the English version) to save the day. Seto Kaiba also decides to save the world from this darkness, but in typical Kaiba fashion decides to do so on his own. But, long story short, the good guys must save the world by finding all seven of the Millenium Items to restore those famous God Cards. This includes the Millenium Puzzle, which has been stolen, which means that the other soul of Yugi, the Pharaoh, or Dark Yugi as he's often called, has gone missing. Fans of the series are really going to appreciate the game. It features tons of YGO eye candy, from appearances from most of the cast from Duelist Kingdom all the way to the end of the Battle City storyarc, and even a few characters from the manga pop up at times. The translation isn't actually that bad. Thankfully, there has been no mention of the infamous death and game of darkness(shadow game in English) coverup, the shadow realm, so far. Also, Yugi actually calls Dark Yugi the "other him," the way he does in the original version. This also marks the first ever YGO game in which fans get to use all three of the God Cards.
On a side note, the game opens a bit of questions up for me. The main character has the ability to use God Cards, plus he and Yugi see a major vision in the game. Leads me to wonder how he's tied in with Dark Yugi/The Pharaoh's Egyptian past...
Of course, even with all these touches, it doesn't matter if the gameplay is awful, although in series fashion it mainly involves the popular trading card game of Duel Monsters. It pretty much follows the typical card gameplay from both the series, which is much more simple than the real life one. However, some of the rules for the cards have been changed again, for example Kuriboh doesn't have any special effects this time around. The AI is also stubborn. While your opponent can often summon his best cards from the start, you will often find yourself drawing weak low-level cards, and not the ones you'd wish for. Also, one of the more irritating is the element system. This has one type of monster always beating another type. For example, cards that are Fire class always beats Grass class cards. So as other reviewers have said, it sure gets annoying when you summon a powerful monster with 2700 attack, and it gets axed by a monster with half that attack. This keeps the game from getting a better score.
Overall though, this game could use a bit of work, but it's actually not that bad. And with Yu-Gi-Oh mania still going strong(the new uncut dvds finally being released, both the Memory World and the Duelist manga being released by Viz, and the new expansion to the card game just coming out), it will no doubt mean that Konami will release many more YGO games in the future. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Pikmin Review. Pikmin is a game that is mostly organizing and strategy. The game takes no skill really because you just need to push A a lot in order to attack someone with those little guys. This game is very challenging becuase you are timed 30 days and have to do as much as you can in one day. I really suggest this game to anyone who wants a game thats challenging and long. There might be only 5 levels, but you goto to them over and over again to do different things. The controls of this are really simple and comfortable to handle. The game clearly explains the controls a lot so you don't forget. So once again Pikmin is one of the most innovative game out there! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
I don't know how good it is so I gave it 3 stars. I don't know a lot about this game but I'll tell you what I do know. You start off as Goku. You have health and ki. Ki is the stuff they use to Kamahama's and stuff. This basically follows everything from the show 'till the Frieza saga. You can shoot Kamahama's and and other blasts. This is an action/rpg game. You have to build up ki and skills while battling people. I heard they're making a dbz game for Gamecube and that you cna hook this up to it. I also heard this is the first in a three part installment of dragonballZ games. That's all I know. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
How fun can a game with rolling Monkeys be? Words can't say. While Super Monkey Ball's excellent graphics, but more cute style graphics may scare you away from this GameCube Exclusive title, don't let them scare you. This is one fun and definately addictive game, I can hardlly put it down. Super Monkey Ball includes over 100+ levels ranging from Begginer, to Intermediat6e, to the ever so difficult Expert mode. Many people who have played Monkey Ball shake at the near sight of the later Expert levels, which require extreme balance, speed, coordination, skill, and practice! So don't think this is some little kids game, which can be beaten in a weekend, if you manage to beat it at all. To help improve your skills, and have a killer time with friends, SEGA threw in Monkey Race (Like Mario Kart), Monkey Fight (Punch each other off a large stage), or Monkey Target (flying and then landing on point valued targets). After you earn enough points to buy them you can open up very fun single player mini games, but these mini games had A LOT of time and effort put into them so they are really good quality anf fun. they are: Monkey Billards, Monkey Bowling, and Monkey Golf. Each game adding a fun Monkey inside of the ball twist to it. Those mini games, party games, and over 100+ levels in the main game add up to massive, infinate if you will, replay value. Think of Super Monkey Ball as one of those extremely addictive old Pac Man style games, but more fun then a barrel full of monkeys. So if your getting a Cube, seriouslly consider Super Monkey Ball, ONLY FOR Nintendo GameCube. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
I actually HAVE the game. XG3 is a wonderful expansion to my collection of gc games... there aren't quite as many good multiplayer games for gc as i would want so far, and when i started playing xg3 i was amazed at the edge-of-your-seat feel of going up to 700 mph on a futuristic motorcycle and have the ability to blast other players with railguns, EMP's, heat seeker missiles, mines and more. the single player part of this game is also encridible, you choose a league and the better you do in each race the more money u get, the more money u have the better weapons u can get. there are about 10 extremely detailed and different levels, and 4 difficulties that make this game a real challenge single player. BUT WHAT MAKES THIS GAME VERY DIFFERENT FROM MOST OF THE OTHER GAMES I HAVE PLAYED IS the 2-player team setting. in this setting, u are on a team with another person, and you both race on all the levels, making this game have a 2-player single player setting. even if you bought gamecube to play games just by yourself, i still recommend this game to any1 w/ a gc... its a must. i also highly recommend super smash bros melee, another great game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Misleading photo/Wrong product sent. I bought the Sega because I still have a ton of games for it and my original system had died years ago.
Ideally, I would give 0 stars for the product I received but 5 for the system in general.
I was very dissapointed to find upon arrival that the machine I received was absolutely filthy, like some slob had been eating over it and scratching it while playing it for quite some time. I understand it is used, but seriously, they couldn't even wipe it off?
The second thing I noticed was that it did not come with 2 or even one controller, even though they are pictured for the item.
Lastly, I purchased this because it said it had the composite (yellow, red & white) cables instead of a coaxial hookup, this was also false.
I realize these problems are all the fault of the seller and not of the system, but make sure you look into the seller first, mine was 1UP Video Games. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Patience young jedi. This game requires a little patience with the control scheme especially for those of us who have spent weeks of our lives playing that other skating game with that one guy named after a bird. Anyway Andy Mac shows his stuff in this game and while it owes a tip of the hat to aformentioned game it has its own set of strengths. Once you get used to the control scheme you will begin to appreciate this game you can execute all sorts of tricks while just skating on the ground handstands, nosewheelies, manuals etc...The trick controls just take some getting used to once you get a feel for them your opinion of this title will probably change drastically. There are forty levels and boards to unlock and there are also 10 different game modes to play in lifestyle being the most satisfying. The soundtrack sounds good but after it has played over a few times you will probably turn it off. I like Andy Mac and I like this title it is very solid and entertaining, and it begs the question can we have too many skateboarding games? Answer: I think not | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
STILL the best fighting game out there. I have owned, at one time or another, just about every street fighter game in the series. I have been a big fan of fighting games ever since the original Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II. And I am currently loving SFIV. But if I had to choose a fav from any fighter that I have ever played, I would pick this game. Even when considering the newer rendering of games like SFIV, this game's fun factor is without peer.
-combos are fantastic (and parrying is awesome)
-19 characters, all of whom are very diverse and have many moves and many awesome combos. Highly customizable.
-the BEST video game music I've ever heard. Tons of tracks, as well.
-graphics are incredible--both characters and backgrounds; smooth and fast-paced gameplay (actually the most fluid I've ever played), very colorful and stylish, etc.
The new stages, endings, and tweaked combat just added to the perfection.
I could go on, but just writing about it makes me want to go throw this in right now...
I'll just put it this way: I love doa 2, marvel vs. capcom 2, SFIV, soul calibur, ki2, virtua fighter 5, and many other fighting games that nailed the fun-factor formula. But this is the first and probably only game that I would consider to be completely flawless and unable to improve upon. It's timeless. I sold my dreamcast a few years back, but have since bought another one just to play this game again.
A lot of people say that this is the best 2d fighting game to ever exist. I agree. I also think this is the best fighting game to ever exist period. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The cuddliest sim ever. To sum up my feelings: I love this game, you will too, everyone we both know will also love it, everyone they know will love it, and so on, until everyone has played it and bowed down! Now, if you need more details, here's why:
First, it's cute! The art style is just darling, and your animal neighbors (of which there are hundreds; every time you play, you get different ones) are all adorable. I'd take them over humans any day. Houses, trees, your own character; everything is pleasing to the eye and just darn kawaii!
Second, the variety! Besides the vast number of animals that can coexist with you, there's an even bigger number of items to decorate your house, bugs and fish to catch, outfits to wear..the list goes on and on! Every single item actually has a use. The furniture can actually be moved and seen in your house, your catches can be displayed in the museum, and clothes are all clearly visible on your character. Speaking of clothes, if you can't find your own outfit, you can design your own, using a very versatile drawing program. I've designed dozens of outfits, and I still have more in my head. With all the variety, you could play as one character for years--or play as several different characters. The options are endless!
Third, the special events! As time passes, all kinds of things happen. Special items can be collected if you participate in events on holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Halloween. Occasionally, visitors like a fortune teller, a clothes-designing giraffe, and a carpet-selling camel will come to town. If I described everything that could be done in this game, I would overload this site's database.
I would say that this is the best simulation available right now. If you want "adult" humor, go to the Sims. If you want a game for the whole family (seriously, even my mom plays it) that has just as much content, buy Animal Crossing and never look back. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Really Fun...the first time around. I would actually rate this game as 3 1/2 stars. I would really like to give Nintendo's first Gamecube game a higher star rating, but I really can't. This game, I think, was just to "test the waters" so to say. It is a fun game to play, and I was very impressed with everything about it (the graphics, the sound, and everything). However, it has next to no replay value. Once you beat it, you have no real reason to play it again. If you do play through again, you'll notice that everything is the same. There are no new enemies to fight, no new items to pick up, no new anything. The only thing that you would be able to do is try to get a better score and get a better mansion picture. Overall, it is a very good game, but many people won't want to play through it many times since there is nothing new to do. If you want a fun and clean game to play on your Gamecube, then Luigi's Mansion is certainly a good choice. However, don't expect to be playing this game for months and then playing it again right after you finish it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
If you loved Empire of Dreams, you'll love this. This game that was realeased in Japan back in 2002, now finnaly sees an english realease, which is good as it's an extremly fun and addictive game, and is also quite original. It is a platform game with puzzle elements (sort of an action puzzler). But the thing about this game is that you have a very limited amount of simple moves at your disposal, all Klonoa can do is jump, and shot out "wind bullets" from his magic ring to capture enemies or boxes with. Once he has an enemy (or box) he can jump in midair or throw it. Also, without an enemy or box, he can jump and hover in mid air with his ears if you hold down the jump botton. And these are all the abilitys you have to work with, but yet the game never gets repetitive and you always have to come up with new ways to use these few skills. It's easy in the beggining, but gets harder in the later stages (or visions as they're called here). There are many different types of enemys for you to use however, including ones that explode or ones that absorb another enemy then come back to you. There are also "action" or forced scroller stages and "hoverboarding" stages. The action ones can be fun (depends on how you feel about forced scrollers) and the 3D-ish hoverboarding stages offer a bit of variety. If these stages arn't your cup of tea though, you can simply skip them (not if you're trying to unlock all extra stages though) and move on. The boss battles are races (in the first you're actually trying to escape the boss) in which you must remove all the main monsters and obsticles in your path and be the first to the goal. There are extra stages in the game, if you collect all "sun stones" (one per vision). And if you collect all "dream stones" you get a picture. You can also try to get all "S" ranks on all of the visions (the most challenging part of the game). Anyone who has played Klonoa Empire of Dreams knows bassicaly what I'm talking about. There are a few new things and a few changed things, but bassicaly this an advanced Empire of Dreams, so if you liked that game get this one! As for everyone else, this is a game I highly recommend (as I do all the Klonoa games) and think most players would engoy it. Simple but Fun. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
This is definitely the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. Think of this as the DS Beta. If you just wanna play GBA games, you'd probably go with a DS, but I personally like this better. If you wanna play GB or GBC games, then this is definitely the way to go. When I got mine, it didn't work, but I eventually got it fixed up. When I took it home, just a few minutes of gameplay got me instantly hooked on the darn thing. While I only have two games for it, just the original GB alone has such a huge library of games that there is SO much to choose from. The best part about the system is that it's completely region-free, so you can play any game from any country. The only problem I have with it is that there's no headphone jack. That always bothered me. But besides that, the GBA SP is a fabulous game system, and is totally worth adding to your collection! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Doth my eyes decieve me. There is a time when video games seem to go in the dark. With the world events, the economy's down, and the industry dosn't have the money to make a perfect game. During those times, however, there is one game that is the light and path of all other games. In today's day and age, Zelda: The Wind Waker is that game.
I have been looking forward to this game for 2 long, painful years, and I must say this game is SO worth the wait. I got the game on the 24, and I've been in utter disbelif ever since. Could there be a game that could outdo Ocarina? The answer here is a definate YES.
The gameplay is very easy to master, and even easier if you've played Ocarina or Majora. The graphics are very crisp, colorful, and yes, realistic. Not photo-realistic, but realistic in the sense of physics. The flags blow in the direction of the wind, little blades of grass sway in the breeze, it's all very charming.
The Music is just enchanting. Once again, Koji Kondo and his crew have created a master piece. There are remixes and original scores, but they all have the same feeling: They belong in this game.
But where Wind Waker really shines is in the characters and story. Link is now a real, living character with feelings, likes and dislikes, and everything in a real human being. The other characters are exactly the same, with their own name, personality, and background. For instance, there is a woman in Windfall Island who likes this man, who in turn likes her, but they are afraid to show it. So every day, you can see them look in each other's eyes as they pass by.
The story is very deep, but to explain it here would be to spoil it all. I'll just say that you will experience deja vu from past Zelda games, especially Ocarina, and there are many surprises from the things you'd least expect to happen.
I enjoyed this game from beggining to end, and you would to. If you're not already playing it: Are you CRAZY!? You MUST get this! YOUR VERY BEING DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Lasting Game. I got this game last week and it is great. this game is addictive and captivating, with good story plot, great graphics, etc...(well these are the common plus point of this game). but on feature of the game that impress me in the "sleep function", you can pause the game by entering the sleep mode, and come back to it later. don't know whether it will reduce battery consumption, but this is one innovative feature u don't get in other games. however, the music is not as great, very repitive, although catchy. the other minus point about this game is the endless chats. while some of these chats are useful, most of them require you to "listen" for about a few minutes before you can save or enter into sleep mode. my suggestion is ensure u have enough battery life before u enter into chats, and save regularly. as the title of this review suggests, this game is enriching in plot, it is not those you can complete a few times on the day of purchase. it will be mony well spent and will last for quite sometime.... My recommendation is go for it .... Excellent game | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Mom of 2 gamers Love this game. My (almost 5 year old) daughter LOVES this game and so do her father and I! I sat for a bit and played and I have to say, its a great game. My daughter loves playing it and I think the best part is, she can make a mistake and start over at a certain point...but she never "dies". With littler children, it gets frustrating when they "die" and have to start over.
The educational value I put at 4 because it really isn't except using spanish words in some parts.
The graphics however are awesome. It looks EXACTLY like the show in the still shots and the gaming part is VERY close. Closer than I've ever seen in any other game.
This is by far the best game I've found for my daughter yet.
This is a must buy. (For any Dora-lover or parent with younger gaming children) | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A Good Game Overall. I purchased this game for my 13 y/o son. He said, "The game was pretty good overall. The storyline may not be the best, for most of the Mario games have the same kind of thing, like someone being captured, and the main character having to rescue them. In this case though, Luigi has to rescue Mario. The gameplay is very good, and that is the main thing that makes a game. It is so good in fact, you may want to play it right after you beat it just like I did. The graphics are very good compared to today's standards, especially for Gamecube's first launch title." | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Stoke the 1987 Fire Back Up Again. I've been a fan since 1987. The original started it all for me. I actually bought a gameboy advance specifically for this title (and the upcoming Golden Sun) and I have to say OoS does nothing but please. I know, its not an advance game right? I tell you it looks spectacular on the GBA. From the first dungeon through to the cemetary, it almost felt like I was eleven years old all over again (though this game looks a lot better than the '87 release). The game is easy enough that you will finish it within a week or so of casual gaming, but fun enough that you'll pick it up and start all over again. Classic LOZ action, a great price, its portable... If you're a fan of the original LOZ you'll love this game. Buy it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not a Bad F1 Game. Without a doubt, the F1 series of games on the PC are in a class above and beyond their console counter-parts, that said, F1 2002 for the Nintendo Gamecube is not a bad title. My biggest disappointment with this game was the lacking of a progressive scan mode for HDTV support. Simply put, this game is UGLY on HDTV. When you move the console over to a standard television set (S-Video or below), the graphics appear in much better format. Sound effects are nice, but nothing to write home about. Loading time is AWFUL and unlocking extras can be extremely tedious, but once you have run through the 25+ testing courses, the Grand Prix modes are excellent. It's a shame this game did not ship with the option to open up Grand Prix mode right out of the box as the 25+ testing runs are very draining.
Overall, this is a decent console F1 game that is geared towards patient F1 fans only. Run-and-gun casual gamers will be very turned off by the slow load times and necessity to unlock all of the goodies. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Game Boy Advance SP. This game boy comes with a built in lightwith a light switch,well thats good news,but The Game Boy Advance SP is a lott smaller then the standard Game Boy Advance and can fold up like a tinylaptop computer when not being played. And it doesnt use any standard batteries,the Game Boy Advance SP needs to charge like a regular cell phone with an AC adapter. A Lithium ion battery is built in and cannot be removed or replaced. Nintendo claims that with 3 hours of charging equals 10 hours of play or 18 if you don't use the light.but the AC adapter can be used as a regular power source so you can play the Game Boy Advance SP can be played while plugged into the wall. The Game Boy Advance SP will have the standard D-pad ,A and B buttons plus START and SELECT.The L and R buttons are smaller and are placed behind the flip top screen. A new Front Light Screen (FLS) button has been added just under the display that functions as the off/on switch for the light. A new sliding volume switch is located on the right side. Games will be inserted from the bottum of the unit instead of from the top like the regular Game Boy Advance and the original. In addition the Game Boy Advance games,the Game Boy Advance SP will also support old and new Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. The games with the built in sensors like Kirby's Tilt'N'Tumble may not work properly with this unit because the cartridge would be flipped upside down during play. The new Game Boy Advance SP screen is the same exact size as the regular Game Boy Advance screen. The Game Boy Advance SP will come with a AC adapter and headphone adapter. The headphone adapter will be required for any regular headphone set since the Game Boy Advance SP doesnt have a mini-plug input. In fact the headphone adapter uses the same port as the AC adapter ,so using headphones while the unit is plugged into the AC adapter would be impossible. Another concern is that Nintendo is still struggling to come up with with a solution for consumers if their internal Lithium ion battery dies from overuse. Three colors are offered in Japan:cobalt,platinum,and black. But in the U.S. only two colors are offered:cobalt and platinum. In the U.S. the Game Boy Advance SP will be available ... on March 23one day before the release of the game The Legend of Zelda:The Wind Waker for the Gamecube. THANK YOU FOR READING MY REVIEW ON THE GAME BOY ADVANCE SP.............. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Works just like it should. It works and it's wired correctly. Some aftermarket cables have left, right, or both audio connected to the wrong pin (mono sound) this cable is correctly wired to pin 7 & 8 for stereo sound. It's a great replacement for the standard RF cable and seems durable for the long term. If you want the best quality possible for composite CRT and LCD televisions I suggest a SCART cable and a good Scart to RGB converter. This setup will run $45 to $75, depending on brand. For home use on an old tube tv, this cable is more than sufficient. For a modern flat screen TV, you will probably suffer from image degradation and input delay unless you use more expensive equipment. Bottom line, buy a $5 tube television from a thrift store and this $8 cable and play your Sega the way it was meant to be played! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great Environment and Atmosphere. I'm reviewing this game to add to the positive views that the game provides. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful and immersive Game Boy Color experiences I've ever had the pleasure of participating in. The graphics are astonishing in comparison to the earlier GBC games and many others showcasing the graphical ability of the system. The experience of driving past street lamps in a night-lit city, passing by lush trees within a mountainous countryside, or camels in the desert are nearly the most gorgeous environments the GBC library has to offer. The regular expectations of games for the GBC give half-pixelated thoughts to the immagination, but in contrast, this game gives some of the most beautiful background and passing objects to even be imagined capable on the system. Music and sfx at about par, gameplay regularly exciting, and graphics surpassing the perceivable, I personally give the game a 10/10. Anyway, it nets no carbon emissions from the racing/driving desire and calms/climaxes the mind with the environment/experience. Absolute love for the game, try listening to podcasts or TED talks while soaring through forest/mountain/city/desert/underwater/rocket-leftover-riddled-wasteland. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
SUPER smash brothers. This game is realy one of the bests fighting game I've ever seen. The control you have over the character you are playing is amazing. Graphics are great,and so is the gameplay. I only get two downsides of this game:
1)Game modes are a bit repetitive (only three different modes, two of them which are identical with every characters)
2) As in the previous N64 game, there are secret characters, but most of them are like clones of other of them. Nintendo could have done an incredibly better wirk in this area.
Anyway, I recommend this game (with 5 stars despite the problems above), since it is for every age, and is GREAT muliplayer fun. Enjoy. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The best GBA game ever! Can't put it down. I remember playing this on one of my old computers (either Atari ST or Commodore 64) and loving it to the end. I can't even count how many years it's been, but I still regard it as one of those games that will live on in memory forever (like X-Com, Master of Magic, Dungeon Master, etc.). This is an excellent version of the original Cinemaware game. Much easier than piecing together an old computer just to replay it. If you can find a copy, buy it! Whether you played the original or not, you will enjoy this WW I simulation of air/air, air/ground combat, and the daily diary entries of the pilot. Now, if they could shrink Silent Service to play on the GBA! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Gaming at it's Best. Tales of Symphonia, a game like no other for the Nintendo Gamecube. Seriously, there are so many unique features in this game that it should have it's own genre! Okay, but this reveiw isn't to butter you into buying this game, it's to inform you about it, so lets get crackin'!
STORY: The plot of Tales of Symphonia starts out like most other RPGs - Enter Lloyd Irving, a teenage swordsman. Along with his friend Genis, he must accompany The Chosen, an angelic girl named Colette, on her pilgrimage to save the world. Along the way, many characters will join and leave them as they help Colette save humanity.
CHARACTERS: The characters play a major role in Tales of Symphonia. Each is fully customizable, although they each have certain skills that imply which job they'd be best suited for. Although Lloyd is the default character, you can choose to control another if you so desire. I particularly like this, because the player can form their own customized battle style and character, whether it be strong Kratos, versitile Colette, or healer Genis. The characters also affect the plot as well. Depending on your realationships you forge with your fellow party members the plot and course of the game will change accordingly.
MULTIPLAYER CAPABILITIES: Another thing that seperates Tales of Symphonia from the rest of the RPG pack is the multiplayer capabilities. Unlike most other RPG games, you are able to battle on a team with three other friends who are each controlling a different character in your party, via the Nintendo GameCube controllers. So, instead of watching you play with a dull expression in their eyes, your buddies can get in on the action too.
GRAPHICS: Lovely cel-shaded graphics decorate the world of Tales of Symphonia. Characters are painted with vibrant colors and scenery is characterized with amazing detail. Cutscenes, however, make the game even more special when cel-shaded graphics become anime masterpieces. Yes, that's right, cutscenes are in anime, and characters are blessed with the voices of skilled actors (such as Tara Strong, Bubbles in Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls, and Jennifer Hale, Prier in Mastiff's La Pucelle: Tactics.)
EXTRAS: Tales of Symphonia is lavished with goodies that only add to it's uniqueness. Characters are able to learn special recipes and cook meals for their friends. When a meal is cooked, you can see an anime cutscene of the rag-tag group devouring it hungrily. Also, a special Titles system is introduced with the creation of Tales of Symphonia. Players can earn special titles that enhance one aspect of their fighting style. Like, "Turbo Waitress" might increase Colette's speed, and "Defender" might increase Genis's defence.
All together, I think Tales of Symphonia will be a GREAT game. Take pride in adding it to you GameCube collection, because it surely will be what gamers will be talking about over the water heater. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Amazing game, Annoying camera. This game is all too amazing. The gameplay is awesome and the the upgrades (play the game and you'll know what I mean) are SO cool. The only thing I can't find amusing is the very annoying camera. Although you can rotate the camera, you're supposed to go one way, so when you go a certian way, the camera automaticaly turns. Some levels are a snap, when others take a year to get through. Let me just give you a hint. If you get this game, in story mode, try to beat the hero side and THEN the dark side. Then, the game will make MUCH more sence. This game took me about a month to beat both the hero and dark side story. For any Sonic fanatic, this game is a must-buy. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Bond is Back. If anyone thought the N64 titles were fun...they're about to be blown away. This Bond game offers killer animation, exciting game play and a storyline with some twists. You're given a list of tasks to complete, and more will appear along the way, as you sneak and shoot your way through several levels. This one is great because you get to do various stages of driving, as opposed to the other Bond titles. You get to drive Bond's car...equipped with machines guns, rocket launchers, etc...a even a tank. New inventions liven up the game...such as night vision goggles, a Q-claw, jet pack; and the multiplayer battle mode will keep you playing all day/night. Battle it out with your friends or computer sims who pose a threat you'd be suprised of. Definitely one of the best first person shooter games out there. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Suprised! Good quality gaming mouse from Sega. When i was purchasing this i thought that since it was a ball mouse that it would be tacky and slow moving it around. Thankfully to my surprise its been a pretty good mouse. The scroll button is a little iffy, doesn't always work as responsive, but the main mouse buttons work very well and have good response with them. The ball is good and smooth and so far with use hasn't had any scrolling problems. Id recomend playing Quake 3 or Rainbow Six: Rouge Spear with it since those were the only games i have with mouse compatibility. Overall a really good product from Sega. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Why the Cube will always rule. First lets talk about every systems weak points. The Xbox over heats even though it has a fan. If you go to some video game stores they will tell you it over heats. The Xbox has more games coming out for it then the GameCube but very few are fun.
Now lets talk about the PS2's weak points. The great games that helped it beat the Xbox and GameCube during the Christmas holiday season are coming to Xbox or there better sequels are coming to Xbox. The PS2's once first class graphics look out dated compared to the Xbox and GameCube.
Now its time to talk about the GameCube's weak points. Weak points? What the HELL I'm I talking about? The GameCube has no weak points.
Now its time to talk about each system's good games. First lets start off with the Xbox's games. Halo, hands down this is the best shooter since Perfect Dark on N64, but watch out Nintendo has it's answer to it's fans needs to shoot every thing up in the upcoming game "Metroid Prime". Rallisport Chanllenge, Eldor Scrows Morrowind, Hunter the Reconning, Craxy Taxi 3, and Project Gohtham Racing are the only good exclusive games on the Xbox.
Now lets talk about the PS2's award winning software. Twisted Metal Black so far this is the best auto combat game around, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, Gran Turismo 3: A Spec, Red Fraction, Final Fantasy X, Jax and Daxtor: The Precursor Legacy, and many more I don't feel like listing.
It's now time to talk about the cube's best exclusive games. Super Smash Bros. Melee best party game ever created, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Star Wars Rouge Leader: Rouge Sqaudron 2, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda, Smuggler's Run: Warzones, and many more I don't feel like listing.
The Xbox has very little to offer compared to PS2 and GameCube. So do yourself a favor and check out PS2 and GameCube and Forget about about the Trashbox aka Xbox. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Gamecube Finally Makes Its Mark. When debating which of the 3 gaming systems to purchase I got advice from everyone almost all of which told me to stay away from Gamecube. But me being a Nintendo fan since the early days of NES and then to N64, I stuck with them and after buying Resident Evil I'm glad I did. This system is compact and packs awesome graphic detail into small mini dics. I bought a few other games with the system but this one will definitely rank as my favorite for quite some time. Plenty of animation sequences and puzzles to stump even the best gamers out there. The only fault I'd give this game at all is the delay when going through doors. I know its due to it loading up into memory all the graphics for the next room so that isn't that big a deal to me. It actually gives you a chance to relax for a few seconds before something else comes at you. I look forward to seeing more games of this caliber and to Nintendo making another mark in the gaming world. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
This game is perfection and bliss. It brings great joy and should have brought tears to my eye the first couple times I played it.
This is one of the 5 or so games that I could get almost ANYONE to play with me.
My younger brother isn't a big gamer. Sure, he adores Grand Theft Auto and such but he's no gamer. But the first time he played this, he couldn't put it down.
My old friend is also a big, big fan. We would play and play and play.
You literally get sucked into this damn game because of the speed and intensity it provides.
when i said perfection, i'm not exaggerating.
from what i recall from this game, i used to give it a 9.5/10. it is probably THE BEST racing game i've ever played and only few come close!
graphics - 4.5/5
gameplay - 5/5
car choice - 5/5
level (amount) - 5/5
replayability - 5/5
overall: 5/5
get this. get this. get this (if you can find it)! one doesn't come close to its greatness (not even close) and i'm sure three doesn't either. although i haven't had that long of a chance with it so i can't totally "un" recommend three.
edit: if it means anything, the only other games my bro used to play were goldeneye 007, perfect dark and the ssx series. once in a while, he'd play snowboard kids 2. :P | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Excellent Port of the All-Time First-Person Classic. Well, it looks as if Activision has successfully ported the all time first-person shooter classic almost flawlessly. It looks amazing and really shows off what the GBA can accomplish graphics wise. The same music from the original PC classic is included, and it sounds just about the same. Some of the minor changes I noticed were that the blood is green (instead of red, probably to earn it's Teen rating) and that they have modified the levels a bit. It is not an exact copy of the original, but it is pretty close. It is by far the best first-person shooter out right now for the GBA. You get all three episodes and all the correct skill levels ("hurt me plenty","nightmare",etc). If you are an on-the-go gamer or want to show your friends what your GBA can do, you should definitely go for this classic. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Bling for your SP. I was recently gifted with an ultra-cool Pearl Pink Game Boy SP from Japan to fulfill my girlish desires for gaming fun and sparkle at the same time. I love it...and what better to put my Girlie Girl SP in but this cool metal case?
It is a perfect square, and has room for storing a game or two underneath the Game Boy. Even better, it comes with a strap, so you can give Paris Hilton a run for her money with your *hot* new purse. Now you will never be without your favorite boredom killer with this convenient and safe way to bring your SP with you. If you just need to store your SP, you can choose any old nylon or vinyl case, but if you want to carry your SP with style and flare, you must get this!
(Oh, and for boys, it's all cool and metal and stuff and you'll be really manly and cool if you get it!) ;) | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
My kids seem to like this game. I've played all of our GameCube games with my kids at one time or another, but this one just escapes me. I don't really see a point to it other than pushing, hitting, shocking, and kicking the other player in the game, which usually raises their ire and they end up pushing, hitting, and kicking each other outside of the game too.
I prefer games like The Incredibles and the Star Wars Lego game that has the two players cooperating in the game instead of competing with each other. I don't mind competition, but this is just like a kid's version of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, I think.
If I would have known before hand what this game was like, I would not have purchased it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The game you'll let your kids play. Of all the video games my kids have access to (Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, and PC-based), this is probably the one that is the least like a time-waster. My kids are interacting with the characters in the small village, and learning about mortgages, budgeting money, making purchases, decorating a house, etc. Even though there's no "party" mode, the three of them like to sit together when one is playing. They also do favors for each other like buying things for each other (and paying each other back later).
The only slightly disconcerting thing about the game is that it is pretty materialistic: the main goal seems to be to get a big house and furnish it (in a totally individual way, fortunately). But I'm pretty materialistic anyway...
So many of my objections to sitting in front of a gaming system are addressed: this game is educational and kids interact with each other socially rather than playing by themselves. On top of that, it is currently my kids' favorite game.
Now if I can just hook up a treadmill in front of the TV, I won't mind if my kids play video games! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A Terrible Way to Start Out the World Series Line. I admit it, I was extremely hyped about the release of World Series Baseball 2K1. I remember going to various Dreamcast sites and seeing previews. To put it briefly, I was amazed. The graphics looked stunning, and because of that, I figured the game was going to be like the rest of the games in the Sega Sports line: awesome.
How wrong I was.
As soon as I put the game into my Dreamcast and began playing an Exhibition match, I realized how terrible the game was. As each inning passed by, my disgust for the game became more evident.
Here are the problems I have with the game. Though the graphics are stunning, it constantly causes the game to slow down and stutter (i.e., when a runner steals the base and the catcher gets ready to throw it). I found the batting difficult and hard to understand. Most of all, and what caused me to return the game, was the fielding. (Ahem.) Excuse me. THERE WAS NONE. You have no control over fielding whatsoever. I have no problem with having no control over grounders, but fly balls, that's another story. The only control you get is throwing the ball. (Whoop-de-...-do.) This made the game horrible and boring.
The reason I had to give the game 2 stars instead of 1 was simply because of the graphics. That's the only good thing about the game - the graphics. Even though they do cause the game to slow down many times, they are still stunning.
But, overall, that doesn't matter. World Series Baseball 2K1 is a horrible game. Sega Sports should be ashamed of releasing such a shoddy game. This game was a terrible way to start out the World Series line of games.
Do yourself a favor. Take the [money] you'll save by not buying this game and buy tickets for a real baseball game. I promise you, you'll have more fun trying to field a foul ball than you will with this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The most underrated Game Boy game ever that I appreciate. Originality 10/10 Unlike nearly all other RPG franchises, this is 100% original!
Graphics 9+/10 Some Pokemon look better than others.
Music 9.5+/10 The music is very good.
Replay value 10/10 Even if you get through this game in hours, you may have more to do.
Pokemon Red sold 4.83 million in the United States, so this qualifies as an underrated game, due to selling under 5 million units. If you want to buy the best Game Boy game ever, this is where you will find it. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! This should have gotten a "Game Of The Year" reward or two, but this (near) perfect masterpiece NEVER got it. A true Pokemon fan has this gem in his/her collection. However, one thing. Some of these might be worn out (discolored label, multiple scratches on the back, etc.) due to being so great of a game. Don't say I didn't warn you. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The perfect OEM replacement. Holds a great charge, I was surprised! Usually after market batteries (not necessarily from KMD) don't last very long (I've been through several PSP batteries that die after only 2-3 hours when my old worn-out Sony original lasts 4-5). This KMD battery has lasted 8.5 hours on my AGS-001 and is still going on the first charge! I'm highly impressed and will be buying their DS Lite version. This battery has breathed new life into one of my favorite portable systems. I don't know how long it'll last on the AGS-101 but if it lasts this long with the front light I imagine the backlit version will last a great amount of time as well. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The soul no longer burns. I bought a dreamcast to play Soul Calibur after I played it at a friend's house. I bought a gamecube after I found out Soul Calibur II was coming out for the new systems, and after several month's wait, I am quite pleased with the outcome. The game plays a lot like the first, most of the moves haven't changed much, if at all on the original characters, and the new characters are a good addition. The mission mode in this one unlocks most of the features whereas the arcade mode unlocked most on the original, but the missions aren't too terribly hard if you keep trying (although some have been quite frustrating). Link is pretty cool, with his bomb, bow and boomerang. I think the best addition to the original is the extra modes (particularly extra versus) where you can use different weapons that you buy in mission mode (each with it's own features). My one regret, they got rid of the best announcer line... the soul no longer burns. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The wirdest game i have ever played, GREAT. Pikmin has got to be the wierdest game I have ever played. I love it! Only a true game master such as Shigeru Miyamoto could have possibly dreamed up a game as original and innovative as this.
The main theme of the game for those of you who don't know what its al about...
Captin Olimar, a great space traveler, has crashed-landed on a strange planet after his ship collided with a meteor. After a prilimanary examination of his surroundings, he has looked over his beloved ship, The Dolphin(anyone recognize the code name for Gamecube?). He has discovered that his ship is missing 30 parts apon crash-landing, and if he ever wishes to return to Planet Hoctate where his wife and two children are, he must recover his lost parts. And to make matters worse, he has detected the poisinous gas oxegen in the planets atmosphere, and his life-support will be able to hold out for only 30 more days. Then as he is beginning to explore, he finds a strange plant that spouts a single seed upon his arrival. After a short time, the seed grows into a sprout that waves back and forth. Olimar aproches the sprout and picks it, only to find not a plant but a living creature! The creature, bearing a resemblance to a minature carrot on his planet called a Pikpik, simply stands there looking as Olimar, as if waiting for his orders. He decides he will call this strange species a Pikmin, and must enlist the help of more Pikmin to help him recover his missing ship parts.
The game, while challenging but rewarding, is great fun to play, and with time, the Pikmin grow to be not your slaves working for you, but your friends trying to help you, and every time you lose one, its not just another Pikmin gone, its a comrade you have lost in battle.
The attitude seemes to be light and happy throghout, but really in firece battles it is quite intense. And although it is a charming game and the Pikmin themselves are cute little critters, don't let that trick you into thinking this is a child's game, because I think it is games like this and Super Monkey Ball(also a great game) that cause people who aren't fans of nintendo to think that its a childish system , but if they actually sat down and played them for a few minutes, they would relize that it is really a very challenging game that is not at all childish.
Pikmin is up there with Super Smash Brothers Melee at the top of the list of my favorite Gamecube games, and anyone who dismisses it as a kiddie game will be missing out on one of the very best Gamecube games out there. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The Only Thing That Would Make This Game Better. is if I were a secret character. Please somebody hook me up to an IV of SSBM. Never before has a game been this addicting. If you like mario, buy this game. If you like zelda, buy this game! Even if you hate pokemon to the point you set your little brothers Pikachu Doll on fire, buy this game. I really don't like the fighting genre, but is that what this game is supposed to be? I just call it a take all the best nintendo characters, ridiculous amounts of stuff for you to do and unlock, never see the light of day, call up your friends and make them use the [inexpensive] paddle so you feel better about yourself kind of game. This is your chance to take all your aggresion about pokemon out on pokemon. Oh yeah and the graphics and levels look amazing! Buy this game! Buy this game! Buy this game! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A good challenge but. This is a fun challenge, but this game has waaaaay more cons than pros. but i like it anyway [i don't know why]. Nintendo could've made this game the "best game ever" but they really FORGOT SOME MAJOR THINGS THAT MADE MARIO GAMES GREAT. this is a long list so ill break it down
1. powerups- where the heck did these go? you cant have mario without powerups....we need mario shooting fireballs and flying with his cape on, and racoon mario....i could go on and on about this...the only "powerup" in this game that mario has [if you consider it a powerup] is the FLUDD...i think nintendo needs to read their history books....
2.bowser- ok....where is bowser??? mario is supposed to defeat BOWSER!!! not some blue clone thing of himself...c'mon mario64 even had bowser in it....i know most of you will agree with me on this...mario is suppossed to defeat bowser!
3. koopa kids- where are the koopa kids? did they die or what? they dissapeared after super mario world...they couldve made this really good IF THEY AT LEAST HAD THE KOOPA KIDS IN THIS..
4. way toooooo similar too...mario64. they just made it tropical and replaced stars with shine sprites.......which brings up the subject of..
5.shine sprites-ok...wheres the stars? mario gets stars NOT STUPID SHINE SPRITES!!!!!
overall this is a good game [but i don't know why i like it cuz of all the obvious faults] | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom. I'm not much of a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan but, my sister had this game so I thought I'd try it.
It's kinda fun being able to fight with the monsters in the card game, but it gets a little repetitive after a while.
Plus I think that moving around in the story mode is difficult, a bit. It takes a while to get used to it.
I suppose if you're, like an uber-obsessed Yu-Gi-Oh! fan who must own anything Yu-Gi-Oh!, then this is the game for you! Though, it probably wouldn't impress someone who is new to Yu-Gi-Oh!.
There are better Yu-Gi-Oh! games out there. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not too bad for those with a GBA and are new to Lunar. If you played any of the original Lunar games for the Sega CD or PS1, you will be realy dissapointed in this game. They kept the annoying random encounters and made the dungeons even more tedious. Then, they removed any humor or uniqueness in the dialog. They also removed the good music, animated cutscenes and voice acting but I can understand that because of size limits on the GBA.
AS a RPG for the DS, it is fine, maybe even above average but if you are looking to pick this up to relive some Lunar nostalgia, DO NOT DO IT! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Possibly one of the best games of all time *in my top ten of all time. I did write a review of this game before on another website , but now i can't find it..too lazy to write it again...once i find it i will re write a more detailed review. *mostly just copying what i said before....* anway....One of the best games of all time...heh....Well, I'm off to look for that review i wrote a while back. Once i find you you'll see why it's the best game of all time....those people giving this game 1 star didn't have any good reason at all, most fo them said it sucked all because it wa son the GCN! HA.....*laughs for serval minutes*! GCN has probably some of the most enjoyable games around. X-box has hardly any of it's own fun and unqie games and most PS2 games are a rushed production that suck for the most part , except for the maybe 5 games that are good on it. Theen GCN has tons of titles...seriosuly people! LOOK PASS THE STEROTYPE! Anyway, i'll actually be writing the review as soon as i find that old review i wrote a while back. Expect reason why from me soon | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The game sucks. I don't know how to describe it, but something is definitely different. I have played many Frogger games, but this one is second worst of all (except for The Great Quest). Rather than playing through all the levels one after another, you have to go back to the town and search for clues. Also, once you play through the boss levels, you can't go back and replay them - so, in part, you lose your replay value. I've tried playing and re-playing this game and I can do it in 2.5 hours, but it is boring.
All these problems, however, are small compared to the most obvious one: Frogger needs a machine to do everything (with the exception of hopping), even jumping and "tongue-licking"! And in those levels where these abilities are missing, it becomes really frustrating.
For those of you that want a good Frogger game, I do not recommend this one. Frogger Beyond is my #1 choice, along with Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge and the two Frogger's Adventures games as other favorites. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Bought this used. Battery was dead. The game won't work right with a dead battery. Luckily, I am a trained Electronic Technician, and I opened the cartridge, de-soldered the battery, and soldered a new battery onto the board, and closed it up again.
After the surgical procedure, it works like brand new, and just added another 5 years of lifespan to it.
I suspect that many of the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games being sold used are DOA. Fire Red/Leaf Green have better odds of being in good condition despite being used, because they are newer.
The game itself is great, I mean, comeon! It's Pokemon!
Just be aware that buying used games this old can require delicate technological repairs to get the intended functional results. Not for the faint of heart. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Does what it's supposed to do. I try to rate products based on whether they achieve what they're made to do or not. Our new Toshiba tv didn't come with a composite hook up, which is what Gamecube uses. This was the best option we could come up with to be able to still use my favorite platform. If you have the space, the picture will still look better on an old, non plasma/led/lcd tv, because that's the type of definition it was made for. Your picture will not be crystal clear using this modulator, but 1. it hooks up to a cable jack, which you probably aren't using on your high def tv anyway and 2. slightly blurry is as good as you can get from a gamecube to hidef connection. There is a gamecube to component hook up that was manufactured by nintendo when the gamecube first came out, but you have to shell out close to 200 dollars for one of the originals. Your picture might work a little better if you turn down the contrast a bit on your tv as it's a bit dark, but I haven't tried that yet. FYI I play predominantly gamecube games and have had this device for 2 months. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Wow...... What a let down. Hey guys whattap? well i guess im reviewing this snazzy new invention game boy sp... or is it a new invention.... well i'll tell ya i was suckered too your not the only one. i wanted this thing so bad but then i looked at the facts.
1) the only better thing is the size... and even that may not be a plus, I mean you get a gameboy for long trips and can you imagin a long trip with your fingers cramped in a space of 3.5x3.5 inches???
2)Backlite, yea yea this is great i don't know why nintendo didn't have one in the original but befor you think this is your only choice consider tritonlabs.com the afterburner basicly a full screen light just go check out the afterburner it is self explanatory i have one myself and it works like a charm.
3)batteries. ok when you get the gameboy advance sp if i'm not mistaken you get a rechargeble battery pack with 10 hours of lighted gaming well what happens after 11 hours in the car??? the SP doesnt take AA's ya know... and besides the original can get rechargable battery packs too (i suggest madcatz)
All in all you can get the same and better in the battery department system for less money and when it comes out im sure the original will be cheaper than ever... think heavily before you buy the latest greatest......
This is Terry signing out cccccckkkkkchhhhh | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Better than the reviews say. When I first saw the advertizement for Die Hard Vendetta in one of my magazines I was really excited because the first Die Hard is one of my favorite movies. Then I saw a review about it, which said it was terrible. The worst review I have ever seen for a game before. I thought to myself that the reviews aren't right a lot of the time though still hesitated. I went to the store to rent a game. I decided to rent Die Hard first, but then I switched it with Metroid Prime because I still wasn't sure about it. Finally, I switched Metroid Prime back with Die Hard, and decided I would play it first. I put it in and saw that it was ok. I was a bit unimpressed by the first level because of the very easy targeting system, though I did think it was cool that I could talk to anyone. Then I played the second one. This level and every level after it have many puzzles and challenges, which changed my mind completely about the game. It's great! The puzzles can be quite annoying at times. That's why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I could never get past the Tuna Factory level. I can't sneak onto the truck!! AHH! Being Stealth is hard. You could imagine how frustrating it can be. The dialogue in this game is hilarious just because I've seen the movie, and a lot of the jokes relate to the movie, though the language is the worst I've ever heard in a game. It relates to the movie in that aspect too. But that's why the movie is rated R because it's not suitable for young viewers. Just as this game is rated M because it is not suitable for young gamers. All in all, it is a very good game once you get past the strong language and blood. I haven't bought it yet, but I probably will soon. I have to get past that Tuna level! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
If you like legend of kage, shinobi, ninja gaiden. Then you will love this game .. this sleeper hit will be in your library for time to come. it definitly got this old-school feel to it... graphics are top notch, sound is great, and most of all GAMEPLAY is Sick.... you can use a choice of stars and sword. and like in "legend of kage" you change color and power up your throwing stars ... you also have this grappling hook thing that you can zip up, or swing it to catch an enemy from behind (kinda feels like a spidermanish feel if you know what i mean ) ... to sum it up...if you like old-school classics like Shinobi, legend of kage, ninja gaiden ... then chances are you will do flips over Ninja 5-ohhhh!!!! (also check out "castlevania aria of sorrow" , advance wars 2, sega arcade pack, warioware, crash nitro kart, and blackthourne coming out in the next few months.... | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Sonic the Hedgehog RULES ALL. This is the Sonic game that started it all. It's one of the best games ever! While several platform games of that time simply mimicked the Mario formula, Sonic is totally unique. You run and roll through beautifully designed levels at high speeds, collecting rings to sustain your health and trying to reach the signpost at the end of the level, all within ten minutes! There are seven zones, with three acts in each one (except for Final Zone). At the end of each third act you battle with Dr. Robotnik. The music is nice too. All these things combined make a fast, fun game. Whether you're a Sonic fan or you're new to the 'hog, you should buy this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Don't listen to the naysayers. I've read several bad reviews of this game so let me give you my perspective in thier conplaints. First the play by play is awful, I turn the sound down and listen to a cd. However no one ever bought a game because it had good play by play. Second, the fielding/batting/pitching engines are difficult because they are difficult in real baseball. I think it mirrors real baseball beacause it's hard to pitch and hit and field. To paraphrase the great Ted Williams, "The hardest thing in the world to do is hit a baseball." So get over it and practice the game....It gets easier with practice. as for this so-called frame rate slowdown, no one seemed to notice it only slows down for close plays. To conclude, this game is very realistic and very enjoyable once you get used to its quirks. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because that style and realism first appeared in NFL2K. So it isn't revolutionary anymore. If you love videogame baseball, buy this game.....go Reds! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
LOTR Fun for Young and Young at Heart. A simply delightful surprise! I've been waiting for some time for this game to come along-- a video game that's worthy of the name "Tolkien". A satisfying mix of FF Graphics and gameplay and RTMN-esque character models make this a must have for LOTR fans of all ages. Kids: don't let dad see you play or you just might lose your turn!
I only have a few complaints about what is truly an otherwise excellent product! I've always wanted an RPG that would give me a chance to fulfill my favorite LOTR fantasy: roaming middle earth as a hobbit! I guess that this is one hobbit-lover who's going to have to wait in his hobbit hole for the sequel! *winking face*
I was also hoping that the game might correct some of the innaccuracies of the Jackson films. The size of the Balrog in the game, for example, is still overly large when compared to the descriptive passage in Tolkein's "Fellowship" ("man-shape" is explicitly stated-- could "man-high" then possibly be implied?), and I was hoping that this game might give Tolkein fans the opportunity to play as the elf-prince Glorfindel, who, with the Noldor, was banished by the Valar from Valinor following the treason of Feanor. Glorfindel has always been something of a "fan favorite", and I am dissapointed to see him left out of yet another LOTR game.
Five stars! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Oddly Addictive. When I originally bought this game (many years ago) I didn't expect much out of it. I read the back of the game and figured it might be enjoyable enough to hold me over until the next big game release comes out. Boy, I could not have underrated this game any harder than I did.
The game itself doesn't really have much of a story, but basically it goes like this: You come to town via a train and are promptly introduced to the town's store manager, who also just so happens to be the town's real estate manager. He quickly sells you a house for what, at the time, feels like a ridiculous amount. This is where your adventure begins.
Basically you shape this game exactly how you want to shape it. You can go around doing odd jobs, dig up fossils, do some fishing, bug collecting, weed pulling, or whatever else you are in the mood for or want to try to make money on - think a very basic version of The Sims. As you collect money and upgrade your house you can find all sorts of cool items to decorate with - beds, tables, pinball machines, and best of all - old Nintendo games that are fully playable.
Customization is the name of the game and this is where a good chunk of the fun can be made. You can design your own shirt, umbrella, walls, and I believe even your floors. You can also take your designs and send them as gifts to either friends of NPCs in the game. Speaking of friends - the multiplayer aspect also adds a whole new layer of fun to it. You can fit up to four players per town, each with their own customized character (which only gets enhanced by the game's randomly generated faces when you create a character), and when you get bored with your town you can slap your friends memory card in slot 2 and visit it via train. From there you can check out your friends' houses, designs, check out their town (also randomly generated on creation - inhabitants included) and buy some unique items from their store.
This is also one of the few games that involves interactive time calculation based on how long its been since you last played. If you leave for a month and then come back the towns people will be upset and weeds will have grown all over the map that you have to pull (apparently no one else does the job, while you are gone).
Overall, this is quite a wonderful little game that proved to have more heart and soul than someone could have initially expected. If you can, pick it up and see where the Animal Crossing craze all began!
Score: 8.0 out of 10. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not Just a Game for Rap Fans. I got DJV expecting maybe a few days of fun, but months later, I still find myself playing it. This game is a blast solo, and even more fun with a group of people. While it may cramp your style (literally) with its button mashing, it will be well worth it due to the fun it delivers.
Graphics- 8.5/10 While DJV does have decent graphics, I have seen better on the GAMECUBE. The girlfriends in particular look pretty shoddy, and the large size of the characters make annoying ropebreaks frequent. The backgrounds are nice, but could've been improved.
Control- 8.75/10 The tutorial in the game really helps out with the controls, which may seem difficult at first, but after a few matches, it'll become second nature.
Game Design- 9.75/10 I like how you need to progress in the game to unlock more characters, although I wish there were more. 35 gets old surprisingly fast. The story mode is pretty enthralling, though, and is mildly interesting. The combos and finisher moves are sweet too.
Story- 9/10 It's hard to believe a wrestling game has a story, but there is one. You pick one of four generic characters and then begin. You're a former wrestler who quit but when your manager Manny needed to pay back a few loans, you got back into the game. Now you're off to make it back to the top and claim Def Jam. You'll need to fight your way through street punks and wannabees, plus beat several Def Jam artists, including DMX, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, N.O.R.E., and Scarface, to have a shot at winning it all.
Sound- 8/10 While rapping isn't my genre of choice, the music is varied and rarely a distraction. The commentary is a nice touch but gets old pretty quickly.
Satisfaction- 9.5/10 Simply put, this game is fun to play. It'll have a controller in your hand for a long time to come.
Overall, this game is definitely worth trying out, so you may want to rent it first if wrestling games aren't your style. But hey, I'm not a big fan of wrestling and I love it, so you might like it too. Give it a shot, something here will be worth your time. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Only one reason for 4 stars. I've been a die hard gamer since I was 5 and Nintendo's games have always been the best. First off though, I have to correct the editorial review for it is inaccurate. This game originally came out for the NES back in 1988 and was upgraded to the SNES in 1993, just a clarification. The only reason for the 4 stars is because SMB3 is way better that SMB2 and it should have been there in its place. It would be cool to see this run as a series or something with SMA2 including the original SMB and SMB3. Other than that, despite lack of originality (which was the intention) this is one of the funnest games you will ever play. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
addicting.. maybe too addicting. When you watch someone play this game, it's boring, I admit. If I saw someone play this game I'd think, this is the stupidest game ever.
However, once you play it, it's awesome! When I first bought it, I spend three weeks playing day and night. then I stopped for a while because I got bored of it. Then my friend started playing it and was like, "have you played this?" and I got back into playing ti again. I've been playing day and night again for 2 weeks now.
I'm 21 years old and this game is great. But it's also great for younger kids. Whenever I come home from college, my 8 year old brother screams in excitement "did you bring animal crossing?!" And he'll sit and play it for a while. It's a gret game for kids, it teaches about saving your money, things about the environment, it teahces you all sorts of things about dinosaurs, fish, and insects. It's really a great game, for all ages!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A+++ | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Wicked Learning Fun. "The House of the Dead" was a lousy game. I love zombies and the practice of shooting them as much as the next gamer but aside from reflex action the title had little to offer but flashing lights and stupidity. "House of the Dead 2" was much the same.
"The Typing of the Dead," however, is something different. Instead of shooting zombies with a light gun you lay them low by typing the appropriate phrase. Though essentially the same game as HOTD2, by changing a sub-par shooter into a typing tutorial, Sega has transformed
the mildly insulting into something sublimely silly.
In addition to not being at all scary HOTD2 suffered from a ridiculous plot, absolutely awful dialog and even worse delivery. Stuff like this usually pisses me off (probably because I take my zombies far more seriously than anyone should) but it's hard to be offended by the
same faults in TOTD when the character models all have Dreamcast(tm!) consoles strapped to their backs and keyboards mounted to their chests. Even the cheesy techno music contributes to an atmosphere of ludicrous
fun.
Also surprising is how innovative the game is over its source material.
The "type-instead-of-shoot" modification extends into all areas of the game. The power-ups are reworked to be typing related. The kill phrases you have to type are calibrated to the difficulty of the enemy you face: tough zombies require longer phrases whereas a swarm of leeches can be held off with one keystroke each. Each boss monster requires a different typing strategy to to defeat it. A three-headed monster asks question with a possible answer for each head: only the correct one will do any damage. My favorite boss chases you around with a chain saw with long-winded jokes spread across his chest.
But what's probably most impressive is how effective a typing tutor the game is. The game can be customized for different skill levels and offers several configurable modes and drills to get you prepared for the onslaught. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Would've been 5 stars if it wasn't a PS1 Port. . THPS2 was great back in 1999. It hasn't aged well and I would argue that THPS3 and even the Underground Series were really much better. That doesn't make this game bad by any means though
My main beef with the Dreamcast version is that it runs at 30 fps and looks like the PS1 version. The Dreamcast is a console that has games like Dead or Alive 2 or Soul Calibur which look fairly modern and yet you have games like this that look ugly in comparison. I'd reckon that the Dreamcast could run this game at 60 fps easy as it's vastly superior hardware to the Playstation.
All that said, I'm currently playing this game with a composite connector on an HDTV. The game might look better with a VGA box and a VGA to HDMI upscaler. You ask me though, if you can get the PC version of this game, just get that. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
this wasn't the best. I rented this game(thank god I didn't buy it)it sucked! The game is so boring, you go through a stupid level, which youcan't see a thing. You're guy(or girl)are like transparent or something. any the game play but me to sleep. Then you barley ever have a gun making you helpless 95% of the time. If you manage to live through the boredum, you must put together a DNA stran. I was stupid. I played it for maybe 10 minutes and then quit. I was disapointed for a Jurassic Park game. Get Castlevania in stead if your looking fora rpg or action game. I hope this review saves you from buying this game!!!!

Welcome back GameCube & Resident Evil. I purchased a GameCube at launch and had many hours of fun playing Madden, Monkey Ball, and a couple other games. However, in recent months, I had found myself playing my X-Box more frequently and my GameCube very rarely, until I went out on May 1 and picked up a copy of Resident Evil. The only Resident Evil I had ever played was RE3: Nemesis but I loved it. I have played all the way through this new version of the original Resident Evil, with Chris, and have started again this time using Jill. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone over the age of 16. A warning to those expecting a First (or Third) Person Shooter: This game is more about conserving ammo than trying to blast every enemy in sight. The game is most difficult at the very beginning. You have very little ammo and not a whole lot of space to carry items. Now to break down individual aspects of the game:
Graphics: 10 out of 10- Very realistic from the character models to the rooms of the old mansion. You can almost smell the stale air as you walk through different rooms.
Control: 6.5 out of 10- The most negative aspect of the game for most players will be the bulky controls. I got used to the control scheme very quickly but some people will not.
Sound: 9 out of 10- The sound effects are amazing. You can hear every grunt a zombie makes. The music is pretty sparse but when it kicks in, you know something major is about to happen.
Depth: 8.5 out of 10- To me depth is the most important aspect of a game. Resident Evil has decent replay value with two characters with somewhat different stories along with multiple difficult levels and game modes. Throw in some unlockable secrets and you've got a game that most people will want to play through at least twice if not more.
Overall: 9 out of 10- One of the best reasons to own a GameCube. A very good looking, creepy game whose overall fun goes well beyond what any screenshot could show. I would highly recommend this game to most GameCube owners who are old enough to handle the bloody, scary subject matter. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Difficult to control, yet fun game. Joker is at it again in this is a challenging platformer game and playing as Batman, you collect weapons, health and beat up bad guys. Sounds like Batman right? Oh as Batman, you also contend with the difficult controls that have a steep learning curve. Like Spiderman, Batman has the ability to swing, and this is something that people need to get use to. Wall jumps aren't as easy as they should be. There is only one type of jump and its pretty clunky.
So basically, the real challenge in the game comes from mastering the controls. You will need to use all of these gameplay mechanics to even survive. The game is really a pattern game of knowing when to jump, wait, swing, fight and avoid enemies.
Great graphics, great music (that sounds stolen from a Megaman game), great water effects (for the Gameboy), batarangs fluidly swirl and follow you like windmill stars from the Ninja Gaiden NES games. Speaking of which, people that enjoyed Ninja Gaiden on the NES will enjoy this for the challenge.
Batman will have to fight his way through five levels of ninjas, samurai, thugs, tanks, men with bazookas, boxes, gameplay mechanics, and everything completely un-clown related until the Joker.
If you aren't up for a learning curve or challenge, then you might want to pass this game, but if you like a very different gameplay mechanic, give this game a try. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Fun for the Whole Family. The GameCube has some great titles that can keep you occupied for weeks on end. Super Smash Brothers Melee is definitely one of these. It's fun for the whole family!
In essence, the game is the same as the Nintendo 64 game Super Smash Brothers. This game was brilliant - for the first time you could see all of your N64 characters - Zelda, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, etc. - in one game, interacting with each other. There were random powerups from all of the games, and the levels and soundtracks were perfect. It was really amazing to see Yoshi up against Zelda in a StarFox background with the music.
Super Smash Brothers Melee upgrades the game for the GameCube, adding new characters, new modes, new graphics and sound. Once again you have a variety of ways to play. You can do an "adventure mode" which really just means you play through a series of levels to an "ending boss battle" to win. There are many player-vs-player battles too, with up to 3 opponents.
It's not a full fledged fighting game. There aren't multitudes of move combinations to work out. But it IS great fun anyway! The moves they do are all imaginative and fun. The powerups you find are also quite inventive. There are trophies and special characters and levels to earn as you play more and more, giving you incentive to keep playing. You gotta unlock them all!
It's not really a thinking game. There aren't any great puzzles to figure out, no characters to develop, no long quests to go on. But many times, you don't want that in a game. Like Tetris and Bejewelled, you just want to kick back, relax, and have some mindless fun. SSBM provides that in great abundance!
A great game for any GameCube owner! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Awesome. One of the best of gamecube. Excellent game. Its definetly worth the buy. Its one of the 4 best on gamecube along with Metroid Prime, Timesplitters 2, and Rogue squadron.
Graphics 9/10 Very well done, with explosions and cool effects. Good character designs, with cool combat pictures.
Gameplay 10/10 This is the best game for gameplay. Its action packed, nonstop fun. With tons of moves and combos for each character. Each move is done with style. Great multipayer with tons of levels to unlock and characters. there is also many options like special melees, or event modes. It takes skill to really master this game.
Sound 8/10 well done, good orchestrated music. Good sound effects, explosions, lasers, punching etc.
Value 10/10 DEFINTELY worth the value. It never gets old,good ol' fighting styles. You can play this game for hours, and you won't get bored at all. I have owned this game for 3 years already, and I'm not bored yet at all.
Overall 9.5/10 Very excellent game, worth the buy. THis game can beat out any other gaming console's games. One of the best titles ever. Buy it. You'll nver regret it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not the best Zelda game. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is one of the weaker Zelda games of the many that I have played (dating back to the NES original). That said, it still has a lot of the ideas that made other Zelda games great.
My main point of dissatisfaction is this: the game takes places in an ocean-based world with many islands, requiring the player to spend several minutes sailing to reach even the closest islands. Sailing the boat is tedious and boring - it takes much longer than it should. Occasionally, the game forces you to sail almost all the way across the map; a task that can take over 10 minutes.
To me, the best part of any Zelda game is exploring the dungeons. There are enemies, traps, puzzles, and treasure - which makes for a great mix of exploration and action. In The Wind Waker, the dungeons lived up to my expectations, but unfortunately all of the bosses are extremely easy. In fact, the whole game is on the easy side - I haven't yet run out of hearts.
Despite my criticisms, this is generally a pretty good game - it's just not the best. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
From a Simpsons Fan. This game is a must have for Simpsons fans. It plays just like the old Crazy Taxi game but with a Simpsons twist. All of your favorite characters are there (except Sideshow Bob), from the Simpson family to Apu and Flanders, vehicles from the show like the Homer's Mr. Plow truck and even the famous "The Homer." I loved trying out all the different characters just to hear what they all said. You can recognize quotes from the show like if your driving Comic Book Guy and you take too long, he'll say "Worst ride ever." The voice overs are amazing and so is the soundtrack.
The Main story line is Mr. Burns takes over all public transport and the people of Springfield need to resort to taking rides from others in the city. There is a Mission mode where different objectives need to be completed but there are only 10 and if you can't beat one, you just play it 10 times and then skip it. Once you beat all the missions you unlock another vehicle.
The road rage mode sets you in one of 6 places in the Springfield universe, Evergreen Terrace is the only place avialable at the start. As you progress you have the oppourtunity to unlock new cars and people or unlock new maps to ride on. You only start out with the Simpson family (and Grandpa my favorite) but as you unlock new characters and maps in single player, you can use them in Head to Head.
Multi Player Head to Head involves you and one friend racing around a map trying to get the one available passenger. Once someone picks him up however, the other player can ram into you and take the passenger. This is where knowing the shortcuts on a map come in handy. Each passenger you deliver is worth $1000 and you race to get to a set amount.
Honestly, playing alone got boring after a while but I still love playing against friends and hearing all of Abe Simpsons funny things to say. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Best addition in the series yet. Well, at first, like everyone else, when i saw the previews for this game, i really didn't know what they were thinking with using cell shading. But after a couple minutes of playing this game you will see how much better these graphics are then 3d. It is virtually glitch-free, the camera movement is as smooth as ever, and it creates a much more beautiful and detailed experience.
The music is, despite what some people say, just great. It is interesting and upbeat, and always in the right mood. Plus the storyline is great, much better than the other Zelda's. It is true that you aren't the original Link, but you quickly get over that.
I would say the greatest part about this game is the fighting. The swordplay has improved a lot, giving you many new ways to attack an opponent, including the Parry, where if you press A at the right time, you dodge your opponents shot and hit him with a very powerful one. In addition, when you hit an enemy with a sword, its sounds like your playing a violin very violently. It is brilliant.
It is true that in the beginning, sailing around the sea can be a little tedious, but you quickly overcome that problem with songs which allow you to control the wind and warp about the sea.
If there is one thing i don't like about this game, it is that it is too short, with too many sidequests. The Ocarina of Time balanced this out better. When there are too many sidequests, you feel like you haven't really completed the game when you win. I think they should have taken away some of the sidequests and added another temple or two.
Other than that, the game is great. Except for your size. You are still way to damn short. O well. Great game, i seriously recommend buying it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Immediate Results After Years of Eye Problems. So here's the Deal.
I have chronic eye problems. I have had chronic dry eye for the last 4 years or so since I started working an IT job. I work 8.5 hours a day on dual monitors with halogen lighting, and then head home and usually grind out 3-4 (More on a weekend) of PC Gaming with dual monitors. My eyes are always dried out and I'm usually pumping artificial tears into my eyes once or twice a day. I've had these for 3 or so days and they're AMAZING.
Within minutes you can tell the difference. My headaches have gone away, I'm no longer squinting when focusing on the monitor and my dry eye and red eye is non-existent. These come HIGHLY recommended by me if you are a serious gamer or work in IT. Plus they look awesome, its like Hipster-Gamer fusion. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A good reason to buy the Dreamcast. Hi,
I live in Hawaii where I've been going salt water fishing for over 10 years. I've always been waiting for a salt water fishing game to come out, and was very excited to play Sega Marine fishing.
I was not disappointed. The graphics of the fish are very realistic, the fishing spots in the game are what every fisherman dreams of. Most of the fish in this game can be caught in Hawaii, which makes the game really exciting. The Sega fishing controller makes you feel that you are fishing. My only complaint with the controller is that I wish that they put the handle on the other side just like a salt water spinning reel.
This game is really exciting to play, and it is great for getting kids interested in fishing. Through this game, they can learn about the different types of lures, the names of fish, and basic fish fighting. Better to lose a big fish in a game, than in real life. I'm amazed that this game can immitate the joy of fishing in the comfort of my lazy boy fighting chair. Nothing beats real fishing, but this comes close. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Metroid Prime is truly "Prime. If Metroid Prime was a 2 diminutional game, I even still would say it is the best in the series. Metroid Prime has incredible graphics, and so far, is the only time in a metroid game. It features 4 beam weapons, and unlike the other games, you can still use the previous beam weapons you have acquired. Each beam is chargeable and new to Samosas arsenal, can be merged with missiles to make an intense combo attack, 1 being the super missile. There is of course morph ball, morph ball bombs, and the awesome power bombs. Boost ball allows you to dash in a certain direction, used to ÒboostÓ up half pipe structures. The new grapple beam allows you to swing from certain points. The space jump allows you to jump in midair. There are 4 visors. Combat, scan, thermal, and x-ray. The scan allows you to scan any enemy and many objects to learn about them to complete your [also new] log book. 1 disappointment is that there is no screw attack. However, being a first person shooter, you can see how it would be hard to have that. The types of enemies are vast, but your weapons give you a sense of overkill which is needed to beat the fierce beings of Tallon IV. There is a map where every room has a name. There are 7 areas. The space pirate beacon, chozo ruins, a grass land, a volcanic cavern, an ice world, a mining facility, and the impact crater of the main boss; metroid prime. Samus is at her best, and she's ready to roll. She even gains a new suit; the phazon suit, along with a weapon, the phazon beam, [used only at the final battle]. This game is fun, fast, and action packed, and has the best game pla in a while. I liked this | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Play ED and then tell me Nintendo only makes kiddy games. Initially, I wasn't certain that I wanted to get Eternal Darkness. I got my Cube for Christmas last year along with Smash Brothers Melee and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I'd heard a lot about Eternal Darkness but wasn't really sure if it was a game I'd want to own. I'd never been big on the whole Resident Evil gig, and my first thought was that ED was another RE clone. After buying both at a game exchange (though looking back I have no idea why I bothered with Resident Evil), I discovered that Eternal Darkness is anything but Resident Evil cloned. True, it has a few similarities, but a few is the key phrase. The story is far far better than RE's, and the gameplay is much more interesting.
The story starts out like your average murder mystery. A young woman receives news that her grandfather has been brutally murdered and travels to Rhode Island to get some answers. WHen the police investigation fails to yield anything, the woman, Alexandra Roivas by name, resolves to get the answers herself. While rummaging through Gramps' mansion, she finds a bestselling book called the Tome of Eternal Darkness. Believing the book to hold the answers she needs, Alexandra begins to read. And thus begins the adventure. Through the Tome, Alexandra experiences events in human history through the eyes and minds of eleven other characters, from a roman legionaire in 26 BC to a Gulf War firefighter. The game spans the last two-thousand years of human history and revolves around a race of beings who---well, I'd better not say anymore or I'll spoil it. Let's just say that with three possible paths to take, you'll want to come back several times to get the full scoop. Besides, there's a secret ending you'll want to unlock.
One of the things that sells the game is the innovative magick system (it's spelled that way in the game). Spells are made, not bought or learned. The game will explain all that as you play, so I won't go into it too much.
The other big selling point of the game is the Sanity system. Each time you get spotted by a monster, you will lose some sanity. This has the effect of altering your perceptions, at first in very subtle ways, then more and more noticeably as your sanity decreases. You'll start to see and hear things that range from disgusting to down right disturbing. The character isn't the only one who'll find themselves jumping at shadows either. Not always, but sometimes, the game will throw in an effect that will make you the player jump out of your skin. Nothing is really outright scary, but then again it wasn't meant to be, and that's what I like. Eternal Darkness works on you in a much more subtle way. So even though it's not a shocker like Resident Evil, it can be quite frightening in its own way. Just try playing it at night with the lights off when you're home alone. Another good thing about this game is that it should once and for all shut up those annoying people who keep saying Nintendo only makes kiddy games. Try saying it again after you've played Eternal Darkness when you're home alone at one o'clock in the morning with all the lights off. Trust me, you won't be so sure after you're done. Oh, and for any parents who read this, this is probably not a game you'd want to get for young children. Quite apart from the creepy way it plays on your perceptions, it contains a great deal of blood and violence. For everyone else though, if you're in for a good adventure that'll creep you out and be a pleasant change from the same old stuff out there, get Eternal Darkness. I found it to be well worth the money. And classical literature fans will recognize a lot of the material around which the game is based. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The perfect controller. This Controller ROCKS! The regular controllers cord is way too short. I had to buy a 6 foot controller extension just to keep from accidently pulling out the cord. Well now thats not a problem. Pictures make it look bulky but the extra culk where the batterys go goes completely unnoticed during play. After 10 minutes of playing with this you won't even notice that it doesn't have a rumble reature.
And it has 16 diffrerent radio frequancies, so more than 1 wavebird can be playing in the same room. someone who cheats at games can switch thier radio signal to the same as yours to interfere, but thats the good thing about having so many different frequancies, noone has to know yours.
This is by far the best controller out there, and the batterys really do last at least 60 hours with mine and their still not dead. plus i played through 2 wall(i couldn't see of course)
but my friend said it worked. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
