Right i havent bought any cube games in a while, and am considering getting a couple for my birthday. I've missed quite a few of the top games, and for some reason ended up with a few games that stink like a cess pool. Right so i need help on, first finding out which games i've missed, and then deciding which games to actually get.

These are the games i have ( so no-one suggests them )

-Soul Caliber
-TS2
-ED
-Hitman 2
-CFDS
-Worms 3D
-VJ
-XIII
-MOH:F
-Burnout2
-Wind Waker
-SSB:M
-Animal Crossing
-Pitfall (twas free)
-Super Monkey Ball
-Turok (free again)
-Fifa 04
-Mazza Kart

Cheers for any recommendations... (Oh and i was considering getting CFDS2 and RS3, if anyone has any info on those)

It's near impossible to pick up a copy now - they vastly underestimated how much it would sell, so nowhere near enough got made.
There was a slight boost a while back when I saw some on the shelves, but I think a second-hand copy is probably your best chance now.

But, yes - worth every penny.

It's dated in many respects, not least in scripting and plot, and in some of the battles you can simply (and literally) switch of the TV, go and do something else and come back later.

But that's when they're just random crappy battles. It's a terrific game otherwise.

You should try and pick up Ikaruga. It's rock solid, but it's a brilliant classic, 2D scrolling shoot-em-up.

That's how I got to level 99 - battling off the loading sounds and command memory while watching telly. Nice.

Bah! :)

I never did that for proper important battles, but after I got so far, if I ran into a relatively long random encounter, I just left it to do what it wanted and won everytime.
