I was heavily dissapointed this year after not getting Mario Party 4 :( I was hoping that I would actually join the series at this point but well... not yet.

I got a suprising 4 games this year... 2 Gamecube and 2 GBA and this is what i thought:

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast :- Heavily dissapointed... it's hardly the worst game on the cube but there is much better games out there... only buy if you truly loved the old dark forces games.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 (Gamecube) :- Outstanding! One of the finest games I own truly an excellent title that surpasses pro skater 3 dramatically! Very glad I got this.

Metroid Fusion (GBA) - Incredible... my first Metroid experience (from a Nintendo fan shock horror) is the fourth title in the series and incredibly good. The game concept is thrilling and I am suprised by this. I am already hunting down Metroid, Metroid 2 (GB game) and Super Metroid. GET THIS!

Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island (GBA) :- Another suprise game (like Metroid) I didn't expect to get. At last my Mario Advance collection is now up to date with the cream of the crop and really this is. I had this oldie on the SNES as well yet replaying it is certainly not a chore ( i didn't play it much the first time round). Another must get.

I discovered this Christmas after getting both of Nintendo's main GBA games that the GBA was truly Nintendo's main concentration... I'm glad to see more high class games coming out so quickly... with Golden Sun 2, Zelda on the horizon it looks like theres no slowing down.

ack

foo'

Buy Super Metroid now, even if you don't have a SNES, just looking at the box is worth it.


Fusion is fantastic, I'm quite far into it now, but I reckon Super Metroid is just slightly better still, after all, there is no grappling beam in Fusion.
