I don't believe I have dragged myself away from that "Thing" its so damn addictive!
GameCube. Mine arrived today, and so did Rouge Leader (GAD Win Feb) I am very very pleased with SR. I would like to thank SR for getting my GC to me on release. Im delighted.
Ok, impressions.
I got a black one, its smaller than you imagine. The disks, their TINY! Its so wonderfully crafted and its full of Nintendo quality. If you have never held the controller, its amazing. It fits so well. I just played for 2hours straight and my hands are fine.
Its great to be back in business so to speak, I sold my N64 to my sis like 2months back and I have been waiting for GC ever since. And it didn't dissapoint at all.
Graphically I would say its on par with X-Box. I played Halo, and played Rouge Leader, if anything GC is better. The lighting is so good, its perfect, amazing, delightful, smashing. Its fandabbydotius!
The sound is crystal. I have had NO slowdowns at all and I have seen like, 100+ objects on Rouge Leader. Oh yeah, by the way, Rouge Leader is class. Action packed amazingness. Im not a Star Wars fan but this game is cracking. Loading times? Its as fast/faster than N64. You don't notice them at all.
Basically.
Round up.
Graphically its amazing, 10/10
Sound is top notch 10/10
SR for delivering it on time 10/10
Rouge Leader 10/10
No loading times 10/10
No slowdowns 10/10
Disk Size 10/10
Its a great console and im itching for another go on Rouge Leader! Only one problem, I dont have a memory card which is essential. Im going down town to get one tomorrow and I have £35 credit from SR (Thanks.) So any idea's for another game?
Im looking in RBS's direction because he had like 6 GAD GC games. Which one is the best? I want a racing game or something. SSBM any good? SMB? Burnout? Anyone got Burnout? Anyone with footy games? I need idea's.
Great job Nintendo, I love you.
Thanks SR, I love you too.
If you haven't got a GC then buy one, if you have pre-ordered one and you haven't got it, then pray it comes soon because I couldn't live without my baby, my GameCube.
Im going to play on Rouge Leader again now, the explosion effects are sweet, the scream of the TIE fighters is spine chilling. I haven't got past the first level yet, I can get to the trench and Darth Vader comes, how do I kill him? That black caped son of a gun! Eat my laser fire!
GC is breathtaking. Get one.

Its a bit loud at first but the sound quality is so good you'll have it far too loud to hear it :D

Oh, another thing. Will it fit into a typical school bag (you know, like an Unbro backpack), as I don't really want my parents to find out that I've bought a GC with x amount of games?

ive done 7 levels on ROGUE LEADER
not rouge!
Arg people still spell it wrong!
anyway you can't destroy Darth Vader you just shoot him then he flys away. Then you fly a bit more and then you can see the exaust port. on targeting computer it appears as a yellow blob on the floor of trench. fire 2 proton torpedoes at it and enjoy the cut scene.
Im currently stuck on Bespin
:S
soooooo addictive...

Ok, some help. The targeting computer is the X button and all the stuff comes up in bright colours yea? Well, I use that and I still get 0% at the end. Weird.. anyone care to explain?
