What? You don't agree with that?

It was pointed out in the first few pages already. It shows how incredible the list is.

... You're saying that the Dreamcast had more AAA games than the PS2? 

And how are the Gamecube versions of Ikaruga and Sonic Adventure inferior to the Dreamcast originals?

^Sonic Adventure did not have the Chao/VMU functionality on GC.

Hey now. 

Anyway, what about Ikaruga? 

(A short visit to Wikipedia indicates that the Gamecube version could not possibly be inferior for the NA and EUR regions, since the Dreamcast version did not exist.)

Rol made me ROFL. Actually I guess it was that guy, but Rol gets credit for telling me about him.

Epic fail

A little digging turned up the review, which I understand is titled

"Ikarumba"

Review by Dr Nemo

Okay, so I buy this game because of all the hype surrounding it. Apparently it's supposed to be like a ''radical game'' for hardcore gamers. I heard it was straight ''old-school'', that has Nemo written all over. So I, being an obvious hardcore gamer (I played Final Fantasy 7 on PS when it first came out after all, I was practically one of the first people to even know about that series), had to get this game. When I went to the store and read the cover of the case, I found out that even IGN was frolicking over it, or whatever the hell frothing means. The details weren't important to me, IGN is the da bomb hizzy, I don't think they have ever been wrong about anything, so if they like it, I like it. At that point it was settled, Ikaruga was coming home with me. And it looked like it could be one of my most favorite games evar.

Boy was I wrong. As soon as I booted the game up I was greeted by black borders on each side of the screen. Is this someone's idea of a joke? Someone in the parallaxing department that worked on this game needs to be fired. The only way to get rid of those borders is to turn the screen side-ways. Okay huh, who in their right mind plays games laying down? This game shouldn't have been released until these obvious major bugs and glitches had been removed. I suppose it’s my fault for not being more observant, if I had been, I would have realized that Atari made this game. Yes, I said Atari. These people hadn’t released a game since Pong, and with Ikaruga, it shows why. My grandpa used to tell me stories about Pong, he said it sucked then, so why the heck are they releasing Pong-like games now on the GameCube!? Yiyiyi, onto the gameplay department.

Unlike most people, I decided not to shut the game off after coming across all the bugginess. Though now, I wish I had. The word on the web was that this game is a “shooter”, or a “shuddumup” for people like me in the loop. Let me make this clear now, people on the web are LIARS!! This game is nothing like Halo. Where are the 3D graphics, scary monsters and big guns. Not in this game my friends. I’m not sure what the heck you would call this game, but it’s not a shooter. In Ikaruga you play as some little ship-thingy, and for some reason the screen doesn’t stop moving. That is so cheap!! I hate not being able to move at my own pace. I’m sure I won’t be the only one getting airsick after playing this piece. To make things worse, the whole time there are these enemies throwing black and white balls at you. That is so not fair, how do they expect me to get anywhere when I keep getting hit every second. If you get this game it will go like this: get killed, come back with about 3 seconds of invincibility, and get killed again, repeat process. You can only last as long as your invincibility. I’ve played whack games, but this game is whack.

After looking in the instruction manual I found out that you’re supposed to do something with colors. Don’t ask, it makes no sense. It’s impossible that someone can shoot, change ship colors, and dodge the balls all at the same time while the screen is moving. And chaining? I shot like 5 enemies in a row before dying one time, but after I finally got past the first level, it said “0 chains”, whatever. People at Atari are really dumb. This has to be the worst game I have ever played, time for some more Tube Slider.

In conclusion, don’t believe the hype. Don’t buy, don’t rent, don’t think about this game, you’ll only end up hating video games if you do. If you want a real shooter, go play Halo or Metroid Prime. This game should have been called Dig Dug 2, Atari would have at least been using honest advertising then. Final Breakdown:

Graphics – 1/10 – It’s not 3D

Sound – 1/10 – They should have signed on Justin Timberlake to do the soundtrack.

Gameplay – 0/10 – You need 3 people on one joystick just to play it.

Replayability? – 0/10 - You’ll be diagnosed with clinical depression if you play it more than an hour.

I own a launch PS2.... it works perfectly. It is not a 90% fail rate. It is probably half of the 360's failure rate.

I have 6 fat PS2's with dead lasers that say otherwise.  Are you really such a fanboy you cannot admit how atrocious the PS2 hardware was, that's pretty sad.  The fat PS2 lasers were horrendous for failing and Sony received a class action lawsuit threat I believe for them eventually.  The slim PS2 suffered wide spread overheating issues on the original runs too.  If the figures were available for either console I'm willing to bet your statement would be hopelessly optimistic.
