Hey all,

Wanna get a new game for me Gamecube, I'm going to get it next month, my budget will only allow me to stretch for one game. Going to pre-order either F-Zero GX or Soul Calibur 2 USA versions.

Both are coming out more or less the same time. Which one would you pre-order, I'm stuck, both are great games, I love racing and fighting games.

People help me decide, give me your views on the JAP versions of these two great games.

Cheers all.

I tried one from both of those companies (I think) early N64 days admittedly but the matches seemed to go on and on with loads of wierd meters all over the screen and inflexible characters...

Everyone's being unfair on Soul Calibur :(

The playability length thing applies to most beat em ups, in that the single player mode is accounts for about 20% of the total playing time, the rest is down to kicking the crap out of mates (especially annoying ones) in two player games.

Sega. :D

I hope it has that unparalled Sega arcadey quality -> the same quality that keeps me playing the ORIGINAL Sega rally and Daytona USA arcade machines years (many years) after their release.

The N64 F=Zero was amazing. And this version has the additional Sega touch.

Should be magical.

Soul Calibur is easily the one to get, racing games; be content with burnout 2 (which is a gem in its own right) and get the pal F-zero

Soul calibur will be the Gamecubes first A+ "proper beat em up" and for that reason is the one to get.
