Tales of Symphonia

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Role-Playing
from: Namco

I agree with all remarks of amazingness on this game. The only problem I had with it is the camera is terrible for co-op play. Seriously. This was fixed up for the PS2 version; why not for the Gamecube? All they had to do was not include zoom, but as is, even with multiple players, the camera zooms into player 1, making all other players off screen which is no fun. They "learned" to play off screen, but really, they shouldn't have had to.

Other than that, best game on the gamecube (but I've not played Zelda yet).

Baten Kaitos Nintendo Gamecube

I got this game at WalMart the other day for $18.98. Unbelievable graphics! Great story, even if there are some cliches used. The combat system is unique, and I thought it would be tedious and boring, but I was dead wrong. It is great! I highly recommend this game. It brings back memories from yesteryear, back when I used to play RPGs on my NES and SNES consoles. Go get it now!

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Well, I was skeptical because of a review of a larger gaming website which I typically consult before any purchase. The game was rated good, stressing out the weak graphics of the Gamecube implementation though. But I can hardly resist RPGs and action adventures so it had to be, especially since it's out there for a mere $10 these days. Played it over the weekend, past the credits I'm still wondering what was wrong with the games presentation. Graphics are awesome, detailed, great character animation, pure delight for the eye. Occasional frame rate issues are really minor compared to what else it out there, seen a lot worse. Only thing to get used to is the viewing angle, reminding a bit of the GBA games, high up above, but adding to the appeal. Anyway, ... Read More:

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

At first, I tried renting this game because I was cautious about it, not knowing if it would interest me. I was dead wrong. This game is perfect for any collection, and also recommended for Final Fantasy lovers. While it may have a different battle simulator, it is still VERY strategic, you'll have to dodge those powerful attacks from countless bosses and land cool combos to finish them off. There's also an awesome option to fuse your magics to create more powerful ones (example: fuse one fire with another fire, it'll give you a stronger fire magic attack!)

Also, another cool thing about it is the multiplayer mode. While you DO have to have 2 or more gameboy advances to play multiplayer, it is well worth it. Having the chance to defeat big bad ... Read More:

Lost Kingdoms 2

This game is great for people who love Zelda and other RPGS. It is a unique game that has fixed many of the problems and fustrations that occurred during the first game. There are many new cards and 2 new types that change the fighting style dramaticly. This game is obviously an improvment on the first game which was great to begin with. I think this is a game to buy or at least rent first.

Skies of Arcadia: Legends

from: Sega of America, Inc. - Console

I found this game very fun to play. It was an original plot line and the characters were on a different side of the story. Instead of fighting the air pirates, you play them. I took off one star from my rating because I really dislike giving orders to your party instead of the hands on action format. Other than that I can find no more flaws in the game and recomend it highly.

The Hobbit

This game is played, sort of as a zelda game, but it's a little less free-range as it is played through with Chapters. It's a very good game, definitely worth the buy, but some of the Chapters can be very, very long, particularly "Over Hill and Under Hill". but I'd say it's worth the buy

Evolution Worlds

This game is awesome! It's a must-have for anyone new to RPG's and veterans. It's story is great and the battle system is like no other. The graphics are great especially when a character attacks! It's also the first RPG for the Gamecube and the greatest. Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia are great, but this game is much better!

Overall, I think that everyone should pick this one up!
