    5 Stars Leave Ninty alone- this rules! Review with images 01/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great graphics, lots of good games (already out and due to come out)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not as powerful as other consoles

    So, the Gamecube! I got this three summers ago, after wanting a Playstation 2, and I am glad I changed my mind to wanting a Gamecube. I have played Playstation 2s quite a lot with friends etc, and I don't deny that the PS2 has got a load of good games (and a lot more), but the graphics aren't quite as good as Gamecube's, and there should be lots more good games to come out. To me, this is one of the best consoles out there, and I don't agree with what lots of people say about all of the games being for kids. I think that this console has the best games. It has a selection of different genres ... more

    4 Stars Nintendo means Silver Heaven did you know that? Review with images 29/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small, cheap, portable, discs are cute, powerful little blighter!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Needs memory card, some games come in multiple discs instead of just one disc so I have to swap discs... I'm lazy!

    Nintendo had it good, the best console, the most recognised mascot around the world and most of the games developers were at their disposal. However one really bad executive decision nearly destroyed them completely, and that was to pull the plug on a CD device add-on for their 16bit Super Nintendo console, and sticking with memory cartridges to play it's games. Well, Sony who were developing the CD device decided that they weren't losing money because of a rather selfish Nintendo so released the CD add-on as a standalone 32bit console, the legendary Sony Playstation. Nintendo's bid on staying ... more

    Advantages Advantages The best games, Loads of power, Great potential

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No DVD player, No hard drive.. erm..

    THE NINTENDO GAMECUBE If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re looking to buy a new console. Well, the Nintendo GameCube, my favourite console, would be a brilliant choice. And the reason being? Well, that’s what I’m going to try to explain throughout this topic. In brief, the GameCube has a fantastic selection of exclusive, semi-exclusive and multi-format games available and planned, including Nintendo’s classics. Combine that with a powerful console, and an obsession for quality gaming, and you’re only close to what the GameCube can achieve. Let’s take a closer look. GAMES Ah, by far ... more

    4 Stars The little box with failed potential 18/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing power for a little box. Some good games

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't have all types of games, no DVD, mainly for younger children

    I firmly believe that before purchasing a console one must be completely weary of the criteria it boasts and know exactly what it is capable of before purchasing. I therefore think of it almost as a duty to state the truth about the gamecube, and all advantages and disadvantages of buying it. The gamecube was released with fierce competition, the x-box and the Ps2. All three of these consoles boasted a new generation of graphics and companies such as EA and THQ were looking for the best to put on these new amazing games. However, a problem was that the gamecube was released after the ... more
