I have played it, it's good. I recommend this.

Pikmin 1/2

I have the first one, it's cool, really. But waaaaay too short. You can finish it in, maybe, let's say 5 to 6 hours?

Star Fox Adventure/Assault

Adventure is linear and you only get like five Arwing missions. If you are a SF fan, go for it.


I'm missing some, so give me recommendations.

Get Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos if you are into RPGs. Chibi Robo may look sorta crappy, but it's worth getting it.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

Get Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga!

Just PM me if you feel like it. It can be completely random, and I love a good conversation.

You can get loads of Gamecube games for cheap on ebay.

Just cheap accessories that I will use a few times and then they'll take up space.

I'm also considering LoZ: Four Swords Adventures.

I wouldn't, the game is really intended for four players and unless you have three friends with GBAs. When you get a group it's pretty fun to work together and, more than occasionally, fuck each other over. Playing alone, it's pretty much just a mediocre Zelda game.

Not Four Swords, Four Swords ADVENTURES. For Gamecube. Can be single-player, I think.

Yeah, Four Sword Adventure was one of those oddball games that required GBA-to-Gamecube connectivity back when Nintendo was trying to push that as the next big thing in gaming. I'm not sure if you need it for single player, but it's requisite for multiplayer fun. There are segments where one player can hop off the main screen into caves that take place on their GBA.

Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, or I will kill your first born.
4 Swords Adventures is also good, though it's too short. Also, Wario World, Star Fox Adventure (it's basically LoZ, but with Fox), The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction(trust me, it's a fun little game), and Luigi's Mansion.

I remember borrowing this from my buddy. I couldn't figure out how to gain momentum, I thought I had to spin the 3-D Stick really fast and ended up skinning my palm. All I had to do was press A. Fucking game.
It's sorta fun though, I'd buy it for 5 bucks.

With confidence: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. It's a game that, personally, actually is better than most X-Box 360, PS3 and Wii games in terms of story-telling. Not to mention, the unique feature of a sanity feature is fun as hell.

Go get Eternal Darkness now.

Swallow your sugar pills, inject your saline, breath in some hydroxide mist and have a nice day.

I personally enjoyed Star Fox Adventures way more than Assault. I thought Assualt was kinda short (can be finished in an afternoon). But if you're into old fashioned Star Fox games, than you should go for that one. If you prefer adventure games, like Zelda, then I recommend Star Fox Adventures.

Also, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones was good. You would miss part of the story however if you only bought that one, so you should consider buying Warrior Within along with it.

Paper Mario 2 is a must have if you like RPGs, especially if you've played other Mario RPGs. If you like FPSs, Geist was a lot of fun. The ghost aspect was more puzzle solving than anything else though, you don't really get to screw around with it too much. Still, it's worth getting. Viewtiful Joe is great, but since you have a PS2 I would suggest that version since you can unlock Dante from Devil May Cry. SoulCalibur II is great, and you can play as Link in the GameCube version, I would definately recommend it.

I would get StarFox Adventures, but only at a fairly low price. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it isn't that much. As for Four Swords Adventures, I'll assume you know the basic info about how it split up into levels and isn't an adventure game. That said, you can have a lot of fun with single player (can use a GameCube controller). the multiplayer mode is where it really shines though, and you need a GBA for each player in that mode. If you have more than one GBA with an adapter or know anybody that does, I would definately recommend it. Otherwise, look for it cheap. The actual Donkey Konga games aren't that great, but Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a great sidescroller and requires the Bongo controllers. I know that sounds gimmicky, but it's actually really good.

Pikmin for sure, but if you have a Wii, try the new version. You can still use a GC controller i think. You can buy Star Fox Assult, but if you are a huge fan of the originals, you may be disappointed. While there are some classic style levels, it is also a 3rd Person Shooter.

GET TALES OF SYMPHONIA! Such a good game...personally in my top 5 GC games.

:which btw are
:5. Pikmin
:4. Resident Evil 4
:3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
:2. Pokemon Colosseum
:1. Tales of Symphonia

Best games for Gamecube.

Windows 7 FTW

Let me finish the original Paper Mario first.

Luigi's Mansion

Forgot to mention, got that too.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Never heard of it.

Starfox Adventures

I said I might consider it. It's not supposed to be that good, but it's Starfox so it must at least be enjoyable.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Master Quest Version)

no

Wario World

Didn't know that was for GC.

Pikmin 1 & 2

Considering.

Chibi-Robo

Supposed to be good.

Mario Kart Double Dash

Already have MK Wii and 64, so no.

Mario Power Tennis

If i'm going to get a Mario sports game, it's going to be Strikers Charged.
