So I finally finished off Metroid Prime on the GC... and I need a game to fill the void until the sequel gets released.

I was thinking about picking up Eternal Darkness, Beyond Good and Evil or Metal Gear: the twin snakes....

or maybe I'll save my dough for Prime 2 and play Fable on my brothers XBox....

I suggest checking out Tales of Symphonia. Great rpg with a really fun battle system.

I second that! ToS is definately a great RPG. You could also check out Pikmin 2, that game is fun as hell too.

Star Craft Ghost would be a good fix for you and it just came out.

g.f.p.

Viewtiful Joe is under $20 now. I'd highly recomend it.

Eternal Darkness is completely stellar. Legend of Zelda:WindWaker was great. MGS:Twin Snakes is good if you never played the original. Also, X-Men:Legends just came out.

I already have the windwaker. Ive played Xmen on xbox, but I didnt really like it much... not my kinda game.

I never played the original Metal Gear before..

Go for Eternal Darkness. It is one of the best games ever made. Plus you can probaly find a used copy pretty cheap

Lasereth

I gotta recommend Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem just like everyone else. Metroid Prime is easily the best game on GC if ya ask me, so you've definitely made some good choices already. Skies of Arcadia is an amazing RPG, easily reaching Final Fantasy production qualities.

haha... if you aren't too cool for cartoony games, just like your favorite neigborhood platypus, then you should consider paper mario 2 coming out in 4 days. the pikmin games are a very worthy distraction.

for adult games: there may be an RE you haven't played, ED can be found extremely cheap.

man, the RPG possibilities are good: I'd go Tales of Symphonia, BG&E, then Skies of Arcadia... in that order.

haha, sorry... i probably named too many. if i were you, i'd get paper mario first if $ are no object, then pick up the others if you find a bargain.

Mr.Deflok

Metroid Prime
Zelda: Windwaker
Viewtiful Joe
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Resident Evil (REmake)

Are probably my favourite Cube games, no particular order except with Metroid as number 1 (but that's number 1 all round regardless of platform).

MageB420666

I personally like

Mario Kart: Double Dash
Time Splitters 2
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
SSX 3

and I just started playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, which is pretty good so far, but you have to have GBAs to play multi, which really sucks ass.

I picked up Eternal Darkness at EBgames... they didnt have pre played, so I went ahead and got a new copy for $39.99 canadian. I traded in Metroid Prime, cause I know I probably won't play it anymore - got a whopping $12 for it.

Eternal Darkness seems cool so far. The melee combat seems a little basic and awkward, but its a pretty good game otherwise.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Nobody else would even think of this game, but I really love Gladius. It's multiplatform, but still looks pretty good on gamecube, and the play is fun.

silver26

Gladius is awesome. I played it on the Xbox.

Tales of Symphonia, Custom Robo(easy game but still fun to play) and any sports games are worth playing

Megaman X command mission X has consumed me for abvout the past 2 weeks, not a bad game

resident evil 4?

Mr.Deflok

Paper Mario just came out too! Been getting rave reviews.

silver26

Yeah, like I said, I wanted a game for the weekend, didn't want to wait til Monday.

I went ahead and got Eternal Darkness, and it rocks... I never played a game quite like it before.

I'll probably pick up Paper Mario after I'm done with Metroid Prime 2. It looks awesome.

viewtiful joe = pwn

mkultra

Eternal Darkness is excellent, especially if you like twisted games. It really messes with your mind. I also recommend all the Zelda games, and Viewtiful Joe. That game just blows me away everytime by the look.

The only thing I like out of GC is the Resident Evil sereies, since it is only on Nintendo Systems.

TheBoy

if you are looking for a good party game to play with friends i would have to say donky konga. its alot of fun with 4 people

Palamidian

OMG, i thought i was the only one who loved this game...it was a little slow paced but great, played it on xbox though.

jamessh1

the best recommendation in this thread (imo) have been viewtiful joe and the new paper mario. i just read the paper mario review on ign and i think it scored a 9.1.
