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 Super Mario Sunshine, but after playing on Eternal Darkness I change my mind.

If you enjoyed Resident Evil, then get Eternal Darkness as it is alot more fun and challenging. The controls are easy to use and the camera is alot better than Resident Evil.

Smash Brothers is the best multiplayer games you'll find on the Gamecube.
The fact that it's not an FPS or Racer will mean you'll come back to it long after that likes of Halo and Project Gotham have started collecting dust.

For a single player game, I'd recommend Eternal Darkness.
Mario is also great fun but you can come back to that one another time.

WS my friends at school have Xbox's but I moved in the 3rd year and I don't really have anything to do with the people I go to school with because they live too far away.

I am hoping to pick up Wave Race for £15 tomorrow but I will look around. Thanks for the help but I am going to follow my heart and go for Wave Race, although having said that I will come home from tomorrow night with a copy of Eternal Darkness :)

Thanks for the help though!

I am currently playing Eternal Darkness - I got it on Sunday for £18.99 from a totally un-reconmendable games shop.
I would say go for eternal darkness.
the bath bit is excellent, it had me jumping off my seat.

I reckon you could get both for no more than £45

And slap your friends with a haddock or something.

Didn't you say five of your friends have Xboxes?

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?
