Not quite everyone, but most people (including myself) often lose balance when a new game rocks their world.
So many people's views are so extreme.
Take 2 N64 games.
Pokemon Stadium and Donkey Kong 64.
Both are good quality games and are long lasting and playable.
They were also slight disappointments and not quite as good as they should've been.
As a result, so many people call them "crap".
Just because these games didn't redefine their genre or become the next best thing, people are calling them crap.
They're still good quality games.
It's just some people's views are too extreme - unbalanced.
These sort of people normally class the best game ever as the latest one they've bought.
The fresh early impressions grip them for a week, and then they call the game crap when they get a new one 2 weeks later.
This unbalanced personality goes deeper.
They play a game with good graphics and suddenly they decide that nothing else in a game matters.
They play something original and they begin to think that all games should be original.
They play a good game of one genre type and begin to think that the rest are crap.
They play one style of game and begin to think that all games should be of this style.
A balanced gamer will recognise the need for a balance and enjoy the game for what it is.
I think that the Gamecube has the best balance.
Judging from just the Nintendo + Second party titles:
It has a fair balance of originality:
Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion and Kameo for example.
These titles give new ideas and a new way of playing games.
It has the fair balance of tried and tested:
Smash Brothers and Wave Race for example.
It's the first sequel in the series, it's a leap from an older system, atleast 2 and a half years since the original game was released and everything plays smoother.
And with all these improvements, gamers will still feel at home with the familiar if updated gameplay and style.
It has the fair balance of cartoony games:
Like Zelda and Luigi's Mansion.
It has a good balance of realistic looking games too:
Wave Race and Eternal Darkness for example.
Some games are epic adventure based:
Say Zelda, Mario and Luigi's Mansion.
While others are quick "pick up and play" titles:
Such as Pikmin and Smash Brothers.
Most of all, no matter what style or type of game, they're all consistant in good quality and playability.
And that's just the ones by Nintendo and the companies they own - third party titles from companies like Sega and Capcom add to this diversity and balance.
I'm certain that the Gamecube has the best balance in games.
They show off wonderful speed and visuals but never at the expense of playbility or smoothness or the gameplay - another way in which they're balanced.
The Gamecube isn't for people who base themselves around one type of style and genre - not enough unoriginal clones and sequels for that, but for the balanced gamer who puts fun and excitment first, no matter what the form/style/genre is, the Gamecube is probably the best choice there is.
Here's to the best balance of originality, tried and tested, fun, serious, realistic, cartoony and and al of good quality, arriving to our shores sometime in March.
It's sure to be worth the wait.
