 True Class! October 7, 2008
This was the first console that I ever bought excluding the handheld Gameboy Advance SP. I have only ever purchased Nintendo consoles and have not been disappointed yet. Nintendo products have a certain magic to them, and the Gamecube is no different. I picked up this amazing console for just 25 at my local Game store. I wasn't expecting much from this little cube, considering its age and upcoming rivals such as the PS3 and the XBOX 360. I walked out of the store after having bought Spiderman 2. I immediately booted it up and discovered the true power of the Gamecube. The graphica rivaled the PS2 and the XBOX and was truly stunning. Although the only game I feel which has truly shown the full extent of the Gamecube's prowess was Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I have always been a fan of the Zelda series and this game was simply the best. The graphica were on the level of the Nintendo Wii released version and I can see no differences between them. Also, even though I picked up the gamecube preowned, I expected there to be some problems with the console itself, but of course there were none. It is one of the most durable consoles out there and does not overheat unlike the PS2. This console is the best for it's price of any console around and I highly recommend it. Pick up this amazing bargain today. It has one of the most extensive game libraries of any cnsle. Get it!
Poorman's Wii October 7, 2008
I was browsing around for a Wii again, hoping that the price would drop to something ridiculous, when results for the Gamecube came up a few times. After a bit of research, I found that a lot of the components are similar. So similar that, if you swapped the Gamecube controller, you would have a more compact version of the Wii. I worked this out and bought it, and it proved better than anticipated.
The graphics and sound are amazing, and I love the jolting when you jump down or hit stuff. So don't waste your money on a Wii, go retro.

The GCN is a awesome console...in groups! Nintendo have always been AND always will be party game based company. As they're are games such as Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Monkey Ball, F Zero GX, Soulcalibur 2(yes I know multi format but controls best on Gamecube) and Wave Race; Blue Storm too name but a few and honest to god the best PS2 has to offer is they're try at GTA SA multiplayer which was fun for awhile oh and Soulcalibur 3 which is pretty good and Rockstar were probably smiling about they're take on the multi player on GTA SA well woopty frickin doo! Ok the antics of Mario saving Peach for the Umptenth is getting tedious but I think in the Mario games it's more about the journey that counts.
Another reason I think the GCN is so great is because it gets back to gaming roots, it's become to much about killing people graphically but the NGC takes it's way ahead and bases they're games on pure good fun! Ok it doesnt offer brillaint graphics but too be honest I find my fun from cartoon monkey's racing in capsule like balls, other then playing as Master Chief and killing aliens(though that is fun) so if your in University or live with brothers or sisters or even live close to a bundle of mates the NGC is for you as it's got enough to keep you entertained for hours on end!

The Gamecube consoel is a seriously powerful console that delivers and delivers all the time you have it. With its amazing graphics powered by ATI, small, cute look as well as the discs and the sheer reliability and amazement this console has to offer, you should not miss it.
Sadly, this console is the most underrated and will not last long in the market. But hey, maybe in a few years time this console will be a relic and will cost fortunes :) .I wonder how such an amazing system could get such negative feedback and get panned like the way it did. If it is because it has no CD Drive, get a cd player. If it is because it cant play dvds, get a DVD player. Its sad that so much people have missed out on the experience of gamecube.
Graphics - 10/10 amazing
Style - 10/10 it looks so cute as well as the controllers
Power - 10/10 better graphics power than PS2
games - 7/10 a large array of games but a bit pricey
Multiplayer - 10/10 4 controller ports and 2 memory card slots
Family - 10/10 a very family friendly console for everyone to enjoy
If you are looking for a very cheap console around 50 quid with power, lastability, multiplayer and style, look past the PS2 and XBOX and at least consoder buying this because it will not let you down a bit.

This is the most underratted console ever! It has fantastic games and at that price is a complete steal! Of course the Wii is fully compatable with Game Cube games but if you don't want a Wii (for some reason) then get this. This is a bargain, get it before they run out!
(Also get Super Smash Bros. Melee, the best multiplayer game I've ever played)
