i kno this has been covered many times... but im thinkin of buyin an x-box... im not a gr8 fan of shooting or huge adventure games ... im more of a casual gamer and into sports, racings, beat-em ups, platfomers and quirky games... i get far to easily frustrated and in truth im not the best of gamers

most of x-boxs big games seem to be shooters.... if it stil worth buyin a console jst fgor the likes of jet set, ssx and the like?

dvd playback is a big feature as tat will be used jst as much.... i was wondering wat is the quality like?? has anyone had any problems?

thanks

The Dvd quality is very good and there are many non shooting games

All I'm saying, is that whether or not you liked Mario 64 - even if you hated it with a burning passion - it's a fact that it totally revolutionised the genre, and therefore, did so for everybody.

I certainly prefferred Mario 64 over Sunshine - not saying Sunshine was a bad game, I still enjoy playing it, but 64 was better.

pftt

Mario 64 has many more levels, far more variety of 'missions', none of the tedious blue coin crap, and all the levels are different themes. Plus it practically invented the 3D platformer.


It was far, far better.

I'm with Alistair.

As much as I love Mario 64, I gotta say I prefer Sunshine.

If you like Sunshine, it did.

Mav, I remember that we argued about this before. I said Mario 64 was better than Sunshine, and you went crazy. You seam to have changed your tune :P

Oh and KFC is fairly good. It doesn't pretent to be "amazing". Its just a polished and enjoyable enough party game a la Powerstone. I wouldn't buy it though so mabye that says something.

I will put it another way then. I enjoyed Mario Sunhine a lot more than I enjoyed Mario 64.
