Munch is a strong swimmer, works machines,  and can zap enemies with his head.....

I\'m hooked on the game.  The game definitely has personality.  The graphics are beautiful.  The gameplay is perfect.

If you like platform games, then you owe it to yourself.  Get Munch...


I like platform...and this one really seems the game for me...I\'ll get Halo and Munch and later DOA3...

Thanks Ginko !!!  :)

Oh and yeah, GC did have a racer at launch - it is called WaveRace.

Its all personal opinion.



Thats the problem I don\'t see a decent gamecube fighter in the future, SC2 is coming to every systems and won\'t be out for a lllloooonnnnnnggggg time.  DOA3 is a great and deep game imo.  I\'m  having a blast with my xbox.  PG is crap?  No way!!!!  Yeah but if doa3 is just a "rehash" so is waveracer BS. RL2 is  basically just a prettier version of RL1 as well.   I still think xbox launch was way better than gamecube.

DOA3 does bring a lot to the table.  Two very important things come to mind: the ability to move around in 3D seemlessly (this has not been done until now) and the obsicles that litter the arenas change the game dramatically and add a lot of strategy.  Counters have been toned down, and combos have been improved.  This is a much improved game (over DOA2).  There are two reasons why this game is getting bad reviews from most of you guys: it\'s not on PS2 and you haven\'t played it enough to form an opinion and therefore make the easy comment: it\'s just like DOA2 and DOA2 was bad, trying to protect your system of choice and its integrity.

DOA3 is no VF, no game is, VF is great, but other than that, DOA3 is untouched in the 3D realm (it\'s no SF either).  Tekken vs DOA3?  It comes down to preference.  But neither game is cheaper.  Tekken is still a 2D game, which is fine, but it is not truly 3D.  Tekken has some cheap characters, so does DOA3.  Tekken\'s move list is no deeper than DOA3\'s.  Tekken is no less a button masher than DOA3.  Tekkens combos are no tougher to pull off than DOA3\'s.  If you people would actually play the game for more than 5 minutes at EB and stop *****ing about it, you might actually like it.

Halo is a superb game.  There is a sense of immediacy and of the epic.  It\'s a huge, complicated and engrossing game--how can so many reviewers be wrong?  I\'ve played a great number of shooters on the PC, and I\'m having a blast playing this game.

MGS2?  I\'ve been playing this too, although not as much as Halo.  Bear in mind that I didn\'t like the previous installment that much.  But for people that loved the first, MGS2 it is a wonderful game.  I\'d say overrated (still a worthy play though just because it is so cool and slick), but people love this game--and how can so many reviewers be wrong?

Comparing Luigi to these games is laughable.  In graphics?  They are about the same I\'d say (although I hate the cartoony look, they are still well concieved).  But in scope it is terribly lacking.  There is no depth in gameplay.  There are different plans of attack available in the two games listed above, but this game will be played the same way by every person. People complain about the lack of weapon choice in Halo--what about this game?  N is usually pretty good about creating games that appeal to both the young and old, but this one fails.

I haven\'t played WV enough to form an opinion, but if it is like the N64 version, it should be pretty solid.

I do not like RS however.  Flying on a rail, invisible space "walls", nice graphics and sound effects, N64 remake (of a bad game) is my summation of this game.

PGR I played for about an hour.  It was kind of fun.  I like the kudos.  But I didn\'t like it much overall.  I also don\'t like GT much either.  Racing games seem pointless to me and I\'m not a car aficionado.  Nice graphics though.

Very well put watchdog.  I think halo beats every gamecube launch game.  Same applies for doa3 and project gothem.  I mean  I\'ve played RL2 and I thought the graphics was awesome but gameplay wise its was uh.......just kinda average.  I consider halo revoultion in the gameplay department the way the made the A.I. so advance along with the weapon and veichle you can use in the game.  Sorry, guys doa3 is not just doa2.  Like watchdog said if you actually sat down and played the game for a couple of hours then you would realize its a lot better and deeper than doa2.  Just my opinion on this subject.:nerd:

Smash Bros. Melee.

It\'s not going to any other console except the cube along with 4-player support, the best franchise characters around (even though I think they are a bit overused altogether) along with a fighting engine that isn\'t exactly oozing with innovation, but at least it deson\'t hide behind the guise of some punk director saying it\'s the "best fighter ever."  It\'s a simple fun game with LOADS of replay value that just takes away a few hours with friends in an insanely fun way.  Besides... Platinum from Famitsu anybody?  The game must be pretty damn good to get that.

Uhhhhhhhhhh............thats the problem I wasn\'t so crazy about the first one.  Give me doa3 anyday of the week over that.  DOA3 is a masterpiece to me plain and simple.  Sure famitsu may have gave it a good rating but that game isn\'t my cup of tea.  I prefer soomething along the lines of tekken, vf, snk vs. capcom, doa, and soul cailbur.:fro: :fro:

You don\'t have to like it, but please tell me how Smash Bros differs from all the games above?  "Along the lines of"?  WTF is that supposed to mean?  You mean to tell me that you don\'t consider Smash Bros to be a fighter or something?

Not much of a fighter.  I mean it just wasn\'t deep enough to keep my interest like something like tekken, VF, or DOA.  It seems more like a mini game than a real fighting game.

 Ok Rastlant were should we start? Yes Super Smash Bros Melee the movies of this look awsome. The first one imo was awsome and I couldve played it for hour with my friends!

 And Mortal Kombat 5? Appearently you have no idea what your talking about!

 Bloody roar xtreme altough I havent  seen any screens yet I have big hopes for this game I was a big fan of the first games of this series.


  PLEASE! OH PLEASE RASTLANT! Check out the games for gc before you post something like this.

Yeah thats your opinion you thought it was awesome.  MK5 big deal ps2 and xbox is getting that as well and it won\'t be out til Fall 2002.  Typical nintendo making you wait for a fighting game.   Bloody Roar Extreme ought to be pretty sweet but its just an enchaned port of Bloody Roar 3 on ps2.  Couldn\'t they made a new one from scartch?  I\'m just comparing gamecube fighting games to ps2 which their is no comparison.  Ps2 has tekken 4, snk vs. capcom 2, UFC throwdown, VF4, SC2, Bloody Roar 4(yes its in development), and others we don\'t know about.  I\'m sorry comparing SSM:Melee to doa3 is a joke.  DOA3 blows away SSB:melee.  Even nintendo fighters are kiddy...........I\'ll stick to ps2 and xbox.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:   If you actually sat down and played it you would realize that temco has dramtically improved the gameplay and add more technique to the game.  For example you can use the eniviorment to your advantage even more in doa3.  Also it has a better 8 way walk systems and a tweaked and deeper combo systems.  Hudson admitted that BRE is bascially just an enchaned port of the ps2 bloody roar 3.  If you actually sat down and played doa3 you will realize it one of the best fighters ever.
