Tomorrow I will be picking up a new GameCube game yet I am really unsure of what to get. The short list I have made so far is:

Super Mario Sunshine
Eternal Darkness
Wave Race Bluestorm
Die Hard Vendetta
Super Smash Brothers

I enjoy games which are challenging, long, contain very good graphics and that support Pro Logic 2! I have Resident Evil and Rouge Leader 2 already and I was looking for something along that line of gaming or something that is COMPLETLEY different. Although that might sound strange there is logic behind it, I enjoy games like Resident Evil but I would also like to change to a different style of game so that I don't end up with all the same style in my collection. Please don't recommend Multi-Format games as I get them for my Xbox, however I am wanting a great Exclusive that will keep me playing over and over! Any ideas?

p.s TimeSplitters 2 is one of the worst games I have ever played and I do mean that so please try to avoid putting it down :)

Cheers!

I would say Eternal Darkness, but you might want Mario, if it appeals to you.
You can get Wave Race for about £15, and Die Hard is more of a renter.
SSBM is good, but I don't know how long it will last you.
I would go for Eternal Darkness, as you will probably be disappointed with Mario.

I'd agree much with Gerrid there, but, I prefer Mario WAY more, probably because of that brown stain on my bottom, oh, and, if you want to keep YOUR sanity, DON'T PLAY IT AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS OFF AND NO-ONE IN!!!

Cheers Gerrid, Eternal Darkness is what I am edging towards but I Wave Race is a big possibility. Does Wave Race have a long single player? May I also add that Multi-Players do not interest me so I am looknig for a game with a great single player and so far Eternal Darkness looks like the best choice.

Waverace is haaarrrrrd so will take you ages.

And if you aren't interested in multi-player then you are an idiot. Have you any idea how much SSBM is in 3/4 player mode?

Or do you not have any friends?

Wave Race, as I said, is cheap, and you could buy that as well, if you found Eternal Darkness with a few pounds knocked off.

WS my friends aren't into games that live around my area and my Brother is 21 so he isn't interested. So incase you can't work it out I aren't into Multi-player games!

It is between Eternal Darknessand Wave Race yet I am not convinced on which to get as of yet! Any additional information on each games and their single player modes?
