Not in polygons but the Gamecube has better technical effects than the X-box so GC specific games will still have to be downgraded for the X-box and the GC's colour pallet works better.

It isn't a direct port, Splinter Cell has been running side by side with the X-box version for ages... it just came out first on the X-box because of a 2002 deal.

Stop trying to argue the Gamecube's graphics are better than the Xbox's. Because they're not.
And Splinter Cell for GC will be the watered down PS2 version with messed up controls.

In the specification of an Adventure game it doesn't say it has to be third person... then it is an Adventure game.

What are you? Some townie who has to water down everything into set catagories... I hope you don't like Linkin Park because they will hate you.

It is a Metroid game... nothing quiet like it. The closest description is a First Person Adventure game... it fits in the misscelaneous catagory.

here we go again, its a FPS.
there is no class for FPAs, so it cannot be classed as one.
ok, compared to say halo etc it is different.
but you still go around shooting things, be they creatures or doors, and you still have to solve puzzles and do certain things etc.
all FPS are like that, you still have to do puzzles etc, ok what do you class Turok Evolution as? (apart from rubbish)

You really need to understand... MEtroid Prime wasn't the game of last year in America because it features a female main character.

Coz it's not an integral part of the game, the further you get into the game you will start to realise why and get used to it.
