A good realistic racer.

Ye, we've got Mario Kart and F-Zero, but to be honest I fell the 'Cube needs a solid, beefy racer. PS2 has GT, Xbox has Forza and PGR, but the 'Cube has...well, nothing really.

'Tis a shame. Time after time I see lame, pathetic races like World Racing grace upon the 'Cube, and I long for an exclusive racing series that doesn't involve an Italian in a Red Cap and squillions of weapons.

I don't think Ninty would do something like that though, as they're more into innovation. Hopefully Burnout 3 will hit the 'Cube, but we need our own GT in my opinion.

What it really lacks is shelf space and increased 3rd party support (that bring GOOD games).

Some nice RPGs would be nice too...

Surely Ridge Racer is half decent...I wouldn't actually know for having more racers on my Xbox than Silverstone...

Hopefully Square will sort out the RPGs.

And third-party support? Well, let's not get too hopeful.

We need a GT though :(

Hmmm.... Squaresoft needs to get its ass in gear. Crystal Chronicles was not all it was meant to be, and we need some decent solid RPG action, I'd even be happy with a compilation pack of Final Fantasy 7-9 and maybe 10 or 11, although I'd prefer remakes,a dn some new games in the series would be nice.

Some Ogre Battle stuff from the Enix side would be great too. Ogre Battle Tactics: The Knight of Lodis was a great strat rpg game (better than Final Fantasy Tactics anyday IMHO) that even on GBA wasn't released here...

If I wanted a top of the range realistic racer I wouldn't have got a Cube. Gamecube cover futuristic racers, water racers, bike racing games and fun racers...

And that does me just fine.
