Selling my Gamecube on Ebay, and no this is not some advertising thing with a link...
My continued boredom of the console, with games I don't enjoy, has led me to this, along with my love of the X Box which has so far not disappointed me, and actually has more than 3 games coming out this year that I want, which aren't ports.
I'm not saying it is a better console - it is in my opinion - just that it suits me better as the gamer I am, plus I can't afford to run two consoles and still by all the game I wish for them..*eyes Steel Battalion on Xbox*...
Adios, like Rare, I'm waving goodbye to Nintendo :P

Me being a cube fan means I can enjoy the Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, Pikmin, Zelda and Mario games.
You being an X-box fan can enjoy MGS, Splinter Cell, Halo, Perfect Dark and Blinx... and you can have them.
But. The flood are plain boring.
The shotgun is pathetic.
The gunsa are lame.
The assualt rifle makes mincemeat of the flood, the plasma of the covenant..
Meh.
Me dislike game.
:D
Strange, heated discussion that I wish not to be involved in.
I think the Xbox is great and so is the Gamecube, there.

So. you'd be able to get how far playing the game like this ? Might do easy for a couple of levels, bute after that....no chance, similarly when you meet the flood the plasma rifles use really does end, plus on harder difficulties - like legendary - you rarely have the chance to power up the plasma weapons for tons of shots like that.

You'd better watch it mate, or your 'shiny shiny q' might not be so shiny anymore..

How much it's doing, is not the issue, the best graphics, the most stunning attention to detail, it's in Resident Evil. Take a room of any other game and compare it to one of RE, you will see that the quality of RE is far higher than that of the others.
Try and understand, if you can.

1) By more things, I meant that on Halo you often have full on battles, with swooping banshees, covenant forces, marines dashing around, all without dropping a frame, all silky smooth, and all gorgeous. Resi does about 3 man sized enemies on screen at once, and most confornatation take place in a room, not exactly graphical showcase of the year is it ?
2) RE's graphics are great, but not better than any other game at the moment as anyone who is not a biased Nintendo fan could tell you. They are good, but that is it. On a Nintendo level, I'd say Metroid Prime looks better, Splinter Cell, Halo, DOA3 and a few others on Xbox, PS2 I'm not sure as I don't play that many games on it nowadays.
