I know it's not hot news, but I only got it last week, (after being very busy with other things).

I can honestly say I think it's the finest game I've ever played on any format, and an absolute joy, so well crafted, and such a well designed, complete environment.

So much detail, and so much much fun.

That's meant to be an ironic statement IB?

FIFA 2003 is okay but the appeal quickly wears off...

All of your fav charts are fatally flawed.

1 Fifa 2003
2 Metroid Prime
3 Jedi Knight II
4 Super Monkey Ball 2 (multi-player monkey bowling)
5 Super monkey Ball (multi-player monkey target)
6 Zelda
7 Pikmin

...

Ooooh, finish Eternal Danrkness, it rocks. I'm still not sure whether I like Zelda more or ED...

I found it hard to get into, at first - But I could just TELL it was going to be something special...!

And, the further I got, the better it became! And I began to love this game... Until I got stuck, and then bored of the game, trying to beat all these bloody space-pirates in the Chozo Mines, one-after-the-other. :@


And I haven't played the game since!
...Well, Zelda did arrive, soona-after! :)


I'm looking to get back into it very soon, though - once I've finished off a few of my unfinished ones, like Eternal Darkness, Enter the Matrix and others.


When I first heard about it, I always thought it was over-hyped...
How wrong I was! It's a brilliant game - and the vast-shifting of GameCube consoles after its release-date proved this!

I thought Metroid Prime was better too, even though a love Zelda, Prime's there wasn't anything to fault with Metroid Prime. People who say the backtracking sucked are balls. Simple as that.

My 5th most liked Cube game. It's good, but not as good as some other games. I just can't get into it fully.

I used to but well I dunno I don't play ED anymore... Timesplitters 2 has re-grabbed me. I'll probably switch it back.
