Being into Resident Evil has nothing to do with whether or not anyone should own or try Resident Evil 4. It's nothing like the others, at all and is really essential for everyone to play at least once because it's without a doubt one of the best games of the last few years.
Other than that though, Paper Mario 2 is definitely a pretty cool game I'd highly recommend, Super Smash Brothers Melee as well. I guess if you're not interested in the Prime series or classic RE there aren't many must haves I can mention (or at least, exclusive ones), but for games that could be considered really good I'll also say F-Zero GX and Ikaruga are a few I definitely feel are worth checking out....and fuck it, I really liked both Luigi's Mansion and Donkey Konga and I don't give a shit what anyone says those are both highly worth playing.....Starfox Adventures isn't though.

PoR is the first Fire Emblem game I've ever played and yes it does have ample tutorials on how to play it. One word of advice though, if one of your characters dies, you either reset or continue without that character at all.About PoR...
I've never played any Fire Emblem games. Does the game have a tutorial mode for begginers or something like that?

I can't stand the horror genre since I hate I being scared, but I loved RE4. It really isn't a survival horror at all. Unless you are a retard you should never run out of ammo and the game isn't terribly scary. Although that regenerator shit kinda freaked me out. You really should try it, but I guess you can get that on PS2 now anyway.James McGeachie wrote:Being into Resident Evil has nothing to do with whether or not anyone should own or try Resident Evil 4.

If you like racing at all I'd say F-Zero GX, Viewtiful Joe if you haven't played the PS2 version, Metroid Prime is quite good, I never played 2 though. Sunshine wasn't anything special, I beat it in a week or so and never touched it again, I hardly remember it so I guess it was forgettable. I do however remember some badass platforming parts, funny that those parts were when the evil Mario dude stole your water pack. Aside from Viewtiful Joe I think every single game I own for GameCube is a Nintendo franchise. Aside from games that come out on all three systems.

No love for Pikmin?=(
Regardless, I vouch for both Pikmin 1 and 2. Excellent games there.
DK:Jungle Beat is a blast, but make sure you get the Bongos with it. It's practically sin to play it without them. Konga is great too but you may only want the first one unless you're crazy about the gameplay; Konga 2 is full of pop songs. Most have already stated the other titles I would recommend.
For the record, I liked Sunshine a lot. Wind Waker and Luigi's Mansion too. CONTROVERSY and such...
I'm willing to back it up with words!

I liked Wind Waker, it was a quality Zelda title, just not the best title. Luigi's Mansion was ok, but it seemed to be like it was a quickly thrown together launch title, it wasn't really bad, just average. If you want some real controversy, I liked Starfox Adventures. I thought it was a very good platformer, as long as you pretended it wasn't a Starfox game I found it quite entertaining.
The reason I have no love for Pikmin is because I never got more than a few days into that game. I couldn't stand the time limit, I didn't want to play through the game like 4 times to figure it out. I never bothered with Pikmin 2 because of that even though I heard they did away with the time limit. I heard a lot of people shun Pikmin 2 that liked 1 and vice versa, maybe I should give 2 a try.

It only took me two runs to beat Pikmin 1, and a third one to 100% it(not really essential). It's rather short.
Wether Luigi's Mansion was quickly made or not, I don't think it feels cheap. The mansion has a lot of artistic detail in it and the gameplay, though obviously different from a Mario-ish game, is solid. May have been a bit short but I'm not sure the game would hold up for much longer than it did. I thought it was better than average at any rate.
Never got around to finishing Starfox Adventures. I liked the gameplay, situation irked me just a litte. I'm still pissed they ruined Peppy and made him too fucking old to fly Arwings. Assualt delt with it pretty well(half of that game sucked), but having Krystal as a member of StarFox feels... odd.
