Flop: Beyblade V-Force: Super Tournament Battle
Releasedatum: 28th November 2003 Developer: TAKARA Publisher: Atari Genre: skill
Let it RIP? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! Beyblade V-Force was a really lousy (and GameCube exclusive!) Adap to the surprisingly successful anime series around fighting gyros.
Why I owned this game then, I can not really reconstruct. Probably it was on offer. My brother and I did not even find the cartoon artwork particularly well, even though we actually had a pair of Beyblade gyros and left fight on the floor in the nursery. In Beyblade V-Force you did exactly the same, namely virtual roundabout in a round arena in the fight. Quickly we realized: there are mini-games in a Mario Party more draft and variety. But after all, one could still control the centers here, unlike in reality, after the start. Like all games with a virtual commentator, the announcements repeated from the second match, on the action one has already seen satt at this time. In the N-zone, the game then received 38 percentage points game fun for the single, 59 for multiplayer mode. Yawn: Fighting gyros are actually virtually not very entertaining. Source: Moby Games
TOP: DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION: Mario Mix
Releasedatum: 28 October 2005 Developer: konami Publisher: Nintendo Genre: skill
Tausendsassa Mario was on the GameCube (Buy Now) Not only footballers, but also real dance talent - because he was star of the console-exclusive Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix is a dance game, so this exclusive gamecube title was also sold with dance mat - which, by the way, finally found the way back to my brother at the last move, have fun with it! But here not only solo to mario melodies on the mat was scrambled, one could also play for two and complete various mini games. However, we only had one control mat, so always one had to gamble with the controller. In fact, I personally do not know anyone else who possessed this game - do you perhaps have it in your collection? Dance Dance Revolution: At least Mario Mix remained the only game designed for the dance mat, even if you can certainly play other titles by jumping around the ground (I suspect). So is similar to the Bongo controllers for the Gamecube, but at least with four games were compatible. What remains to say: The dance game Mario-Crossover was surprisingly fun and well implemented, so it is definitely a forgotten hit of the Gamecube time. Mario as a real all-rounder is not too bad for dance steps. The title was entertaining and well implemented. Source: Moby Games
Flop: BMX XXX
Releasedatum: 07. February 2003 Developer: Z-AXIS Publisher: ACCLAIM Genre: skill
Oooooh, promising! This is not a Dead or Alive Xtreme with BMX wheels, but simply an overall disappointing and ugly trend sports game. A provocative smiling lady in narrow pink shorts, three times in the title - the clientele is obviously the developer Z-Axis wanted to address. And then BMX XXX is still basically cool with a few clips of bicycle stunts (with a few strippers in between) underlayed by skate punk sounds. Another Oscar wild quote preceded, you could almost think that s a forgotten hit. In fact, it is a trend sport game that is similar to the popular Tony Hawk Skating Games, but is much worse control. The music enthusiast with blink-182 and so on is nice, the mass of fecal jokes and ambiguities should also like teenagers. And of course the short intermediate sequences in which strippers shaken with their close-up butts. Luckily not in game graphics, no, that were really real film sequences that were shot extra for the game. But that too can not roast over the lack of depth and the poor control. At that time, the N-zone gave birth 70 points to BMX XXX. In the cities (among other things Las Vegas) you drive around with the BMX. Your character character can be customized in the editor.

TOP: The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Releasedatum: 31 October 2003 Developer: Radical Entertainment Publisher: vivendi GENRE: Action
What, there are two Simpson games on the GameCube? Right, and one of them was much better than the other (which also appears in this special). We talk about Hit & Run! In my memory, both games started merging together, they are actually very different quality. First, Road Rage came across on the side, then Hit & Run from another studio. The gameplay is similar, there is a hazards of confusion, but Hit & Run offers an open game world, and already alone this is a true dream for a real Simpsons fan: Finally you can explore Springfield freely! The graphic also showed a bit more consuming, although the optics were technically not error-free and the control is not. Hit & Run hoped quickly to a kulthite and you can play it very well today. Just like Road Rage, the Simpsons adventure appeared not only on the Gamecube, but also on all other important platforms, ie PC, Xbox and PS2. The N-zone awarded at Hit & Run at that time a rating of 78, while Road Rage 71 Abbekam - looking back, the score difference could have been a bit bigger. But afterwards you are always smarter! Hit & Run resembles Road Rage from the concept strong, but the Springfield in this game is open and freely passable. Great! Source: Moby Games
Flop: Shrek Super Slam
Releasedatum: 18 November 2005 Developer: shaba games Publisher: Activision GENRE: Action
The Shrek films were at the beginning of the 2000s big hits, so of course the game adaptations were not missing. Spoiler: They were all not very good. The game principle of Super Smash Bros. has been successfully copied unsuccessful (including Sony with Playstation All-Stars Battle-Royale), and SHREK Super Slam also reminiscent of the success-saving Nintendo series, just that one deals with the Diverse performers of the Shrek saga are knocked. This is remarkably fun-fold, despite 20 selectable fighters (including the gingerbread man, Pinocchio, the pussed cat and so on), 16 arenas and several modes. Every match plays the same, and accordingly, you have already seen everything after a heritage, what Shrek Super Slam has to offer. Then just Super Smash Bros. Melee! By the way, there is also a Shrek game for the GameCube, which used the Mario Party series as an inspiration source. Created in an imaginative Shrek Super Party, dices you here as in the original over different board play plans and atmosphere in mendrigen 30 mini games against each other. You missed the Shrek games on the GameCube? Wonderful. The N-Zone awarded Shrek Super Slam at that time a rating of 64. This is a screenshot from the PC version, so the game looks comparatively sharp. It s still bad. Source: Moby Games
TOP: Spider-Man 2
Releasedatum: 09. July 2004 Developer: Activision Publisher: Treyarch Genre: action-adventure
Both the first and the second spider-man game for the GameCube are pretty good action adventures, but the second is still a small tick better! Clearly as inspiration for building the game served the iconic GTA series. Spider-Man is open to New York as a superhero playground, and there he does all sorts of missions to drive the plot, or he simply swings to the pleasure and mood of skyscrapers to skyscrapers. The movement made so much fun that you were happy to seek to whip on the search for collective objects from a corner of the city to others or climb up perpendicular to a skyscraper. The creators of Spider-Man 2 are and were anything but unknown, which is why the quality of the title is not even so amazed: Treyarch is a subsidiary of Activision and is now responsible for some titles of the call-of-duty series, before Spider-Man 2, among other things, took care of the Tony Hawk games. The N-zone editors also showed enthusiastically by Spideys excursion and awarded a rating of 85. The predecessor was not much worse with 84. Incidentally, there was a third successful spider-man game in the GameCube-Bunden with Ultimate Spider-Man. That s feeling of freedom! Swinging with Spider-Man through New York, made a lot of fun on the Gamecube. Source: Moby Games
Flop: The Simpsons: Road Rage
Releasedatum: 17. May 2002 Developer: Radical Entertainment Publisher: Electronic Arts GENRE: Action
In addition to the outstanding The Simpons: Hit & Run there was much worse games to the popular cartoon family aga. Road Rage was definitely second choice compared to Hit & Run!
At first glance, The Simpsons: Road Rage properly promising, also because of the original CEL-shading look and the prospect of joying throughout Springfield and picking up passengers. As with the Kulthit Crazy Taxi, this is about bringing the prominent residents of the yellowest city of America to the desired destination. Of course, one uses all sorts of abbreviations and stuff for borning. Oh yes, and against each other you could also compete thanks to a two-player split screen mode. Why Road Rage does not convince? The control was cumbersome, the circumference is negligible. Throughout, we had played the title in one day, and whether one won in versus mode, hung above all from happiness. Anyone who got guests with simple routes, had the victory safely. Looking at the yellow fan glasses, the title may not look so disappointing (and the game world is really charming), but if you want to play the Simpsons on the Gamecube, then definitely in Hit & Run.
The finger shows you the way: In Road Rage, your residents have to transport Springfields to the desired places in the city. Source: Moby Games
