I'm hitting my Gamecube back catalog pretty hard this month, my aim is to try to beat as many games as possible from it, considering I own close to 200 of them now and have finished less than 1/4 of my collection.
Started off by alphabetising the collection and going to work through it as close to the letter as I can stand... might hurt when I get to the F's of Fifa :D
Done all there was to do in -
18 wheelers, wow... I mean great arcade port, and I do have a decent Gamecube steering wheel so it was fun, but it's 2 hours or less long even with doing the score attacks was just no content there.
Big mutha Truckers... campaign of the game is 60 days long, by day 18 I've fully upgraded most items on the truck and have now the task of either driving back and forth down the same path of road for 42 more days... or moving on, considering the 200 games on the shelf I'm stopping there, not a bad game, but christ why mix truck driving and simulation trading game? someone was definitely in the moonshine at the creative meeting of this game.
Batman Begins - Wow, beautiful looking GC game, ties into the movie really well, you play it pretty much scene for scene.... although with more scenes added where the big bad bat swings from chains and does semi stealth missions to hide from goons with guns and scare them into being goons without guns so you can fight them.
That's the issue tho, every single encounter in the game is basically either following a very straight path to stealth kill the one with the gun before fighting the rest, or else doing something to scare the goons into disarming themselves, and there is no options to be had here, it's goons standing near a statue (you knock it on them) goons standing near a car with a car alarm (you set off the alarm) Goons standing near some gas cans (you throw the battarang and blow them up... which doesn't kill the goons, just makes them drop the guns) Also if you think... hey just fight them with guns? No, if you show your face or go about the game the wrong path you instantly get shot to death, there is no room for alternative styles of play, you must follow the laid out path or it's batdeath city.
.... That said tho... you get to be the Batman, and play through batman begins, if you don't mind following the path it lays out for you, great game, considering it's a movie tie in game especially by EA.
Considering next titles to move onto... Got
Aggressive Inline (mostly finished during the GC era)
Animal Crossing (completed 100%, all NES games unlocked)
Baldurs Gate Dark Allianced (100%'d co-op before)
Beyond good and Evil (have the HD version on the X360, considering going to that for this game)
Bomberman Generations (never played)
Beach Spikers (never played)
Blood Omen 2 (can't recall if ever opened),
Bionicle (played til it hurts, recall it being awful in 2003 or so),
Burnout 1 (done everything),
Bloody Roar Primal Fury (played most of the stories back in the GC era),
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (played maybe 2 stages of this, recall it being great)
So yeah... That's just going from # - A - B and I've got a lot of choice as to what to look at to finish next, since I heard nothing about Black and Bruised or Bomberman Generations I'm considering trying those out next, want to finish games and move on ASAP. have these and 24 other letters worth of games to try!
