Mikey Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 GX was a **** of a game to complete. Took me years to do it.
nekunando Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Beating something of insane difficulty= Huge Satisfaction I love F-Zero GX and it's craziness.
mcj metroid Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 well ye talk about f-zero are ye talking about the story mode or ardace.the arcade was very easy i found
solitanze Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I think I'm gonna buy this on ebay, just for the fact its a tiny glimpse of a series (thats good but most certainly overrated) that will never make it to Nintendo systems due to being in the clutches of Sony despite the no "only for" sign in the corner of the boxart in the PAL version...

Ahh the futility of a bitter fanboy.

How about buying it for what it is? One of the best games on Gamecube, it's amazing.

It's a very good game, it's worth getting for the great gameplay this game provides and it has very good replay value. I just beat the game on the weekend for the third time. There is a choice in one part of the game when Meryl gets kidnapped and you have a choice to save her or not in the torture room. If you cave in to the torture, the ending is different and Meryl dies. But you get the stealth camoflauge from Otacon if you give in to the torture. You get infinite ammo if Meryl survives by not giving in to the torture And i almost forgot, beat the game twice on any difficulty and you get alternative clothes in the third run
solitanze Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 If I do end up getting the game, i'll probably get the NTSC version, the boxarts better, especially with the added bonus of an only for symbol.

Zechs Merquise Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I beg to differ Exclusive Shinkawa Art >>>>>>> Render I agree, the american boxart is very er... American, the European one is far more arty, the same can be said for the Resident Evil boxart.
fanman Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah, I prefer the PAL boxart. I've completed this game 4 times, twice with each ending. It's an awesome game. I remember playing the ps1 version, I must have been about 8? I didn't really get into it, despite completing it. Didn't really pay much attention to the story, but going through it again on the gamecube was sweet. Never really had any problems with the control scheme though, I like the gamecube pad.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I haven't played this yet. There's been occassions where I've seen this for about 19 quid or so, but was skint so didn't bother. I think my friend has this. If he's reading this, lend me the damn game!
Dyson Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 The problem is, once you play this one, no one will be able to play the original. I remember first playing Metal Gear Solid on the ps1. It blew my mind. Simple as. Me too - absolutely amazing game. The whole thing was great. Actually I have my PS1 set up now...It's tempting to rediscover it.
dabookerman Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Me too - absolutely amazing game. The whole thing was great. Actually I have my PS1 set up now...It's tempting to rediscover it. Once i get MGS4 i will be doing a Massive marathon MGS3 -> MGS PO -> MG1 (the msx version, NES version is the tard version) -> MG2(Same again) -> MGS1 -> MGS2 -> MGS4 Its gonna be great. Would take me a month i think.

Dcb Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 hahaha this really puts things into perspective! The only game I had trouble with this generation was F-Zero GX, that was brutal on the higher difficulty settings. But I never played Ikaruga. F-Zero GX feels almost impossible on the highest difficulty level. I mean, like almost ACTUALLY impossible. It's so hard.
... Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I just beat the game on the weekend for the third time. There is a choice in one part of the game when Meryl gets kidnapped and you have a choice to save her or not in the torture room. If you cave in to the torture, the ending is different and Meryl dies. But you get the stealth camoflauge from Otacon if you give in to the torture. You get infinite ammo if Meryl survives by not giving in to the torture Yeah, but it's funny, I think the game doesn't make it quite clear that you do have a choice. I only found out about that choice on the net after I beat the game the first time. In my first run through I simply assumed that if I caved in it would be game over, hence not being a choice at all. The only way to find out that it actually is a choice is to surrender or to not bash A fast enough. Unfortunately, bashing the A button isn't that demanding at all so you only lose in that scene if you actually want to. And if you think, like I did, that if you lose it's game over, then you don't want to lose, now do you? Resident Evil 4's button bash scenarios are far more demanding than MGS' one. And i almost forgot, beat the game twice on any difficulty and you get alternative clothes in the third run I didn't know this, I only beat the game twice so far. Well, It was thrice actually cause after I beat it the very first time I stupidly deleted the save file so I had to beat it again and then I beat it the second time for the second ending and extras.
mariosmentor Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 The only problem I had with this game was... When the hind fires a rocket and snake does a backflip...onto the rocket.. then leads into the air. I'm pretty sure his ankles would have been ripped off or something or he would be lying face first on the ground while getting pummled with machine gun rounds. ....I hate Versus.....

Haha lets not even go there, the amount of questionable physically impossible things that happens in all the MGS games. Or any game for that matter
The-chosen-one Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 i've played both the playstation version i didn't play till the end but the cube version yes i played that about 2 times i like the cut scenes in it a total of 3 hours on cutscenes the voice acting i like to only they should have done more to the gameplay

dabookerman Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hey! Hey! Hey! A real hardcore fan would also play Ac!d 1 and 2! Why? You also forgot Ghost Babel, but that's beside the point. None of these said games are part of the main story arc. I see no point in playing them.
Zechs Merquise Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Not to mention - he missed Snake's Revenge on the NES!
dabookerman Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Not to mention - he missed Snake's Revenge on the NES! No i did not MGS3 -> MGS PO -> MG1 (the msx version, NES version is the tard version) -> MG2(Same again) -> MGS1 -> MGS2 -> MGS4 because both NES versions are the inferior versions.
Zechs Merquise Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 No i did not because both NES versions are the inferior versions. Well, you're wrong, MG2 is NOT Snake's Revenge, that is an entirely different game altogether. It was a NES only release, and was produced by Kojima.
