So whose getting this next week ? :-) I'll be getting it and from what I've seen it looks good so far. The E3 DVD shows some nice footage of it and whats in the game. That swarm bore weapon looks pretty tasty - having played the other games I have fond memories who I killed with the old version of that weapon. ;-)

Thing is, I keep thinking how good it would have been if a little extra was included in the game. What I would have loved to have seen is a dinosaur hunting mode - no cyborgs or evil bad guys, just a mode where you can sit back, hunt and even take trophies (skulls or claws maybe ?)
The idea of the bushes and stuff moving and making noise is great, so a hunting mode could be excellent. :-)

I know you can go around killing normal dinosaurs in Evolution, but this would be even better as far as the hunting goes. Maybe even a Co-Op mode where 2 players can have a screen each or something and just roam around trying to kill a bigger T-Rex than they've bagged before.
Thats where the trophies could come in - you could display your biggest kills of each breed just like you get records in fishing games and stuff.

I think it'd add some longevity - especially when things can turn around and your soon having to leg it from a pack of raptors. ;-)

Ah, but the RRP of Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2 is £44.99, so it's not really a rip off unless the RRP is reduced.

There are one or two more games with that high an RRP on the GameCube too.

I remember reading in my OXM something about Game Prices. The Publishers issue the price, not the shops, The people that made Rogue Leader decided to retail their game at £44.99, whilst other gamecube game are around £35-£40.

I know, but I had to say no. And they're aren't any, why? Because the multi-format games look the same on both.

And garbe, shut up. Go and find one person I've called fanboy that isn't, or wasn't at the time, a fanboy.

And I can honestly say I've never seen a GC game more then £36. SR, Game, EB, Virgin etc. All these shops where I live sell at £36.

There you go see, it's a rip off shop. They aren't a big chain store, so they have to sell them for more. I don't buy games from small shops for that reason.

Don't tell me to shut-up whitestripes or should I say MR. Anti-Xbox! It seems that people who call others are expressing the faults within themselves, to be honest I hate the word 'fanboy' as it doesn't do anyone justice, but you are so busy calling others yet the fault is within yourself, every post you have ever done about the Xbox is negative and I wasn't the only person who commented on this! I am getting a GameCube, I owned a PS2 and N64 until recently, I still own:

PSONE
XBOX
DREAMCAST
PC
MEGA DRIVE
MASTER SYSTEM
SNEZ

Yet you call me a fanboy? LOL, so I am a fanboy of Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft, Packard Bell? Get a reality check and sort yourself out because every other Ninty poster (even the fanboys) talk more sense than you do, at least some of them are 100% open about their feelings, you just prefer to deny them and start trouble over them! You started it last time and here you go again, I suggest you get a life!

At www.eb.uk.com (the site where you can buy games from the UK version of Electronics Boutique online) both Star Wars Rogue Leader and Agent Under Fire are £39.99

In the Electronics Boutique shops, the majority of games are £39.99, those two mentioned above are £44.99. (or were yesterday in all 3 EB/Game stores yesterday in Cardiff)
