Nearly everytime a milti-console game is released, Gamecube gets it last. Like Ghost Recon: its coming out late November for the Xbox and on the
6th December for the PS2, but apparantly its not coming out until
31st January 2003 for the Gcube.What's happening? Can somebody please explain to me why games companies are releasing games last for the 'Cube.
Even Hitman 2 is not coming out until early Spring.

(Is it true that GTA: Vice City is coming for the Xbox? Bet it's not coming out for the Gamecube.)

Many of you will say, ah, but the GCs got Super Mario Sunshine. Yes, and its amazing but its the companies who promise a milti-console game and us GC fanatics don't get it until the game has come, conquered and gone.

The only reason I'd want GTA on the GC is that it would boost sales.

Don't want it myself though.

I completely agree, Asher D. I think some people on here are just bitter that the GameCube doesn't have such a great game. It's not all about killing (even though it's surprisingly fun) - it's about freedom and fun.

It's one of the best games ever.

No, it's the other way round.

Go round mates, start a new game, play through some missions, get bored, run around killing things. Then that gets boring, and then you play something else.

Okay, you go round your mates house and muck around, and it gets boring. So then you do missions to make it more fun, and occasionally venture off to be evil again. Then, missions all done, you have other challenges, or can explore.

GTA 3 is the best game ever, bar none. Well maybe Vice City.

GTA is is novel, then it wears off.

It's a great game to go round your mates and play on, but worthless to own.

Having said that however, Vice City is supposed to include a lot more things isn't it? Like going in buildings and stuff, might make it more of an interesting game to play.

Still, if its any good I can just get a superior version on my PC later.

Nope... The gamecube game was delayed because Nintendo take longer to produce the games... that is why Splitters was delayed on the gamecube... question is is it better?

Yep the control system is more effective and it runs slightly smoother but... it has no link up play!
