christ... everyone needs to cool down here.everyone seems to take opinions like they're facts and then stating their opinions like they are facts. calm the hell down! i say if you dont use that console much, then sell it. so if you're using the xbox and gc, sell the ps2. simple as.
theres clearly a nintendo versus everyone else thing going on too. i dont really think you can compare them though. the ps2 and xbox, yes. they have many games out for both formats. but the gc is a different kettle of fish. the appealing thing for me about the gamecube is the mario titles, but i lost interest in these when they went 3d, although the mario kart double dash game was fun. i think banjoe kazooie was too similar to mario64, but thats just the perspective i get from seeing people play it, along with the donkey kong games. zelda games, i have been led to beleive, are always entertaining and enthralling. not only does my 10yr old nephew love it, so does my mate, his girlfriend, many of my other mates, and several older generations i know including a 60 yr old.
alpha, i completely agree with you about realism. i dont play games that are realistic, unless i'm looking at a simulation game. gran turismo was'nt realistic. theres no damage for a start. i think sometimes realism is good because for myself, i like to put myself into the game, immerse myself if you might. i mean, gta would have been terrible if bowser had suddenly appeared the size of a sky scraper and you had to to beat him to save the princess.(although thinking about it... imagine iif it was godzilla or king kong? that actually mite be good as another game...) excuse the tangent.
when i play games i like to escape from real life. no game is truly realistic, realistic games like, driving and sports, are only really realistic if you're a professional sportsperson in that sport. i play nba live because i'd like to beleive that i can win the championship, not because its "realistic".
