Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble

GC Review

The best way to describe Red Hot Rumble is by screaming into your ear until it bleeds, followed by a catapult ride into a volcano thats somehow floating in the sky. Putting the Viewtiful Joe characters into a smash-tastic four-player fighting game seems like a great idea, but its often an indecipherable orgy of color and noise. Normally, the goal in games like this (the best known is Super Smash Bros Melee ) is to be the last guy standing - its you against two, three or four characters in a ...

WWE Day of Reckoning 2

GC Review

As wrestling fans will attest, the previous Nintendo console was host to some of the best wrestling games ever made - WWE Day of Reckoning 2 doesnt excel like the N64 classics, but is by default the GameCubes best wrestling game so far. If you played the first Day of Reckoning, youll be able to jump right in. In fact, the story continues from where the first game ended - sounds great in theory, but is marred by the fact that you cant carry over your created Superstar from the first game. The ...

WWE Day of Reckoning 2

GC Review

Ever heard of Ohio Valley Wrestling? As most grapple-fans know, it's a sort of proving ground for the WWE - new wrestlers practice there, and old hands who've lost it a bit go back there to hone their skills. Ohio Valley Wrestling matches are still good - usually much better than the stuff you'll see in rival federations - but they just aren't as good as the real WWE. And that's a bit what Day of Reckoning 2's like. Its place in the release schedule makes it a sort of testing ground for ideas ...

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

GC Review

The sequel to one of the best comic-book games ever made, X-Men Legends II offers more of what made the original so much fun while streamlining some features to make it more approachable. The game is a dungeon crawler similar to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath. This time around, the X-Men team up with their enemies to stop the menace of Apocalypse. In videogame terms this means running through a number of levels, beating the crap out of lots of little things, beating up ...

X-Men: The Official Game

GC Review

You know, for a while there, superhero games were experiencing a renaissance. Most of Marvel's heavy hitters, Hulk, Spider-Man and even the X-Men, have seen solid games that make excellent use of the license – but X-Men: The Official Game plays like a drunken blend of three separate games that can't get their act straight. Set in between the second and third films, you play through completely linear levels as either Wolverine, Nightcrawler or Iceman. Each handles extremely different from ...

Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Fury

GC Review

We wish the GameCube could end on a higher note, but if Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Fury is any indication, gamers should just consider BatenKaitos Origins and Twilight Princess the only options this season. If you venture beyond these greats, you may encounter Zatch Bell!'s utterly busted fighting system, and that's a scenario none of us wants to ...
