Everyone hates it, but I really like Waverace Blue Storm. There. I said it. Plus, it's incredibly cheap compared to a lot of GC games, if you're going for official original discs rather than playing ISOs.

It only came as a bonus disc with R:Racing Evolution (PAL regions) and the Player's Choice version of Pac Man World 2 (NTSC-U) so it doesn't turn up on eBay that often, though it's not very expensive when it does

Ended up buying quite a few sports/racing games for cube I really enjoyed 1080 avalanche or whatever it’s called was quite a thrill when you triggered off the avalanche and you had to outrun it. Also ssx tricky and ssx on tour with Mario were fun too.Last edited by importaku; 09-06-2021, 15:31.

I bought the GC late, very late around 2009 as I thought it about time I got to see what the fuss was about LoZ. Bought almost immediately afterwards the Zelda Anniversary Collection, Wind Waker LE and Twilight Princess, F-Zero GX, REMake, SWRSII: Rogue Leader and the one I really wanted, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem .
Later added Soul Calibur II, Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance, PNO3, Battalion Wars, Resident Evil 0 and imported MGS: The Twin Snakes.
TBH I never loved any of the LoZ games. OoT and MM are outstanding but I still didn't love them. They were serious gamer's must play boxes being ticked.
Wind Waker I wanted to like but I didn't - more of the same barely drawn, relentlessly kid level characters and story telling. No thanks, I'd had enough and I sold my copy of TP recently still factory sealed.
Only those ^ embolden games on the GC made the purchase worthwhile for me. F-Zero GX I would have added if it wasn't for the bonkers difficulty level of the career campaign. I sold that on unfinished at a tasty profit years ago.
Couldn't get into the other games, even Soul Calibur II proved redundant as I got it for the Xbox and much prefer its controller to the, frankly, horrible GC one.
Only games I have now for the GC are REMake, Sanity's Requiem and still unplayed RE0.
If I hadn't made a nice profit on Fire Emblem I'd be sadder than I am about not keeping it. It was the one GC game I wasn't expecting anything from which was a revelation for me. A fantastic introduction to Tactical RPGs but unfortunately since then I've not found anything in that vein which has floated my boat.Last edited by fallenangle; 09-06-2021, 16:12.

And yes, that applies to 1080⁰ Avalanche and Super Mario Sunshine also.

Not played those other two; the only old school ones I've done were the two on the GC LoZ Anniversary disc, the original LoZ and ZII: TAoL. Did not enjoy the latter in particular. It put me off the other LoZ GC game: FSA not yet mentioned which I had consider getting too.Last edited by fallenangle; 10-06-2021, 22:36.

Originally posted by fallenangle View PostTBH, ignoring my caveat about LoZ games in general, I enjoyed MM more than OoT. LoZ universe heresy?
I have fond memories of OoT but structurally, I've always felt that it's a classic Zelda template that we've all seen and experienced before.
MM flipped the script in such a radical (for the time) way with the plot/setting/storyline that it still stands alone as such a unique experience in the franchise.
