| Bloody Roar: Primal Fury |
 |
The number of games that allow you to control a
kung fu wererabbit can be counted on the fingers of one hand, namely
Bloody Roar,
Bloody Roar 2, and
Bloody Roar 3.
Although dismissed on the PlayStation as a fairly simplistic
button-mashing version of Tekken, on the thus far
beat-'em-up-free GameCube, the series' various charms are easier to
spot. The obvious gimmick is that your character can, with surprisingly
little effort, transform into a werebeast of varying unlikeness. The
tiger, lion, and wolf fighters are all fairly predictable, but the sight
of a giant anthropomorphic mole battling it out with what can only be
described as Graham Norton crossed with a giant chameleon is one of the
more peculiar visions the video gaming world can offer. -- David
Jenkins |
The description on the box
does it no favors so I put in this very true review from David Jenkins
(some guy from the UK, sounds reliable right?) that made me laugh from
just how true it is (anyone whos knows who Graham Norton is and know the
character they're portraying him as will get a giant kick in the pants
from it, you know, in a good way). Not much more I can say that David
hasn't, I personally love the game. |

Above average but not the greatest, cause it's easy to button mash |

This game is very, very
similar to Smash Bros Brawl, except that there is transformations as
well as super attacks. In all honesty this is a good game but the combat
system can very easily aggravate people. It's good for a laugh and a
change of pace from the same ol' game. |

| Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 |
 |
NARUTO: Clash of Ninja 2, developed exclusively
for Nintendo GameCube, will offer non-stop ninja style combat action for
1-4 players where gamers choose to play as one of 23 total available
characters. All-new multi-player modes will engage players in frantic
simultaneous four player battles and single-player modes will offer more
gameplay choices than before with survival and timed attack modes that
allow players to showcase their taijutsu and special jutsu abilities. |
This early fighting game
was once the best there was on the Gamecube, although in story mode the
computers are often stupidly strong no matter which settings you use,
the multiplayer mode isn't bad at all. The only real flaw to this is
that it's outdated by the rest of the clash of ninja series. |

Not horrible, but limited characters and newer versions available

| One Piece: Grand Battle |
 |
- 16 playable pirates with 32 additional support
characters from the TV show
- 6 game play modes including Grand Battle and 2
player Versus Mode
- Interactive 3D environments - pick up objects
and use them to attack your opponent
- 7 environments in which to battle your
opponents, all faithfully recreated from the TV
series
- Each character has more than 20 regular moves,
as well as special attacks and ultimate attacks
|
|
This game literally throws
you into the fights without showing you anything first. the basic
commands are easy enough to figure out, but there isn't one sentence in
the game telling you anything about ultimate attacks or the several
hidden characters, add in bad English jokes and crazy graphics, and you
get a game that will entertain you for almost a full 5 minutes. |

Not very entertaining, but fun for a while and easy on the eyes. |
| One Piece Grand Adventure |
 |
- Updated cast of characters - Play along with the cartoon
series as new characters from the TV show join the crew in the
digital world. Up to 24 main characters including new characters
such as Trace, Princess Vivi, Tashigi, and more join the
adventure
- Search for additional support characters - One Piece - Grand
adventure brings a roster of 50 supporting characters and a new

- Evolution of the grand battle - The Accel-Heat System adds
another layer to the exciting battle by giving the player the
opportunity to pull off special attacks straight from the
cartoon series
|
The sequel to One Piece
Grand Battle, and i must say it's a huge improvement. There have been
basic improvements to the battle system as well as a roster update, the
games graphics are still appealing and they added an adventure mode that
throws in a rpg aspect to the game. you can level up your characters and
use points to give them additional abilities, such as increased strength,
defense, special attacks, etc. they also added a tournament mode which
isn't a bad thing. |

This game is quite very
possible THE MOST ANNOYING GAME IN EXISTANCE. Yet weirdly, I find it
quite fun. Imagine Mario Party but with pirates instead of plumbers.
also there isn't a board to move on, instead players flip cards with
varying effects and values on them in order to gain the most gold to win
once all cards are flipped. one little difference in this game is that
there is a minigame after every card flip and the winner of that game
gets the card. |

| Rave Master |
 |
- A 3D multiplayer fighting game based on the popular Groove
Adventure RAVE manga series (known as Rave Master to
English-speaking audiences.)
- Battle it out as Haru Glory, Elie, Musica & many other
characters from the exciting new animated series.
- Wield powerful weapons and unleash explosive attack combos
and incredible special moves to defeat your enemies. It's time
for the Rave-olution!
- Battle with your friends in an intense 4-player Vs
Mode Multiple attack combos, weapons and unique attacks for each
character
|
This is a very hard to find
game. I haven't touched the story mode on it in truth so i wont say
anything else about it. the VS mode though is pretty cool. It's exactly
like Smash Bros Melee except that there is a 3D arena instead of a 2D
arena (meaning you can move in any direction, not just up, down, forward
and backwards) there are many weapons and items to play with and each
has it's own special attack. It's a pretty fun game and anyone who
enjoyed the series will also enjoy the game. |

| Sonic Adventure 2: Battle |
 |
Most Sonic the Hedgehog games are specifically
for Sega related platforms but Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is an original
game made for the Nintendo GameCube. Sonic and crew need to stop Dr.
Eggman from his nasty tricks again. There's new characters brought into
the Sonic universe! A mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow and a bat
named Rouge. The Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has been enhanced with
graphics, doubling the framerate and now is set as a multiplayer system. |
Almost 10 years ago when
this game came out and I got to play it I thought it was so amazing that
it would blow away any other game out there. As 10 years past it went
from amazing to mediocre, the single player mode is ok, unless
your playing as knuckles/ rouge. The multiplyer aspect isn't bad, but
it's still not great. |

| Sonic Riders |
|
Sonic Riders teams up Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails,
Knuckles and a group of new characters, in a wild new racing game. Dr.
Robotnik has challenged racers from across the world to compete in his
Worldwide Grand Prix, the prize being a Chaos Emerald. Sonic and his
friends must compete get the Chaos Emerald before anyone else does.
Multiple visually stunning locations from across the Sonic universe |
Sonic Riders is a fairly
fun game with an average selection of corses, riders and
boards/skates/scooters. There isn't much i can say either good or bad
about this game. It's not great anymore because of the new Sonic Riders
games such as Zero Gravity and Free Riders. |
