Metroid - I don't see what the big stink is. It looks great, plays pretty good but has virtually no story. The level design is artfully made but with little innovation or originality in layout. Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game, but I wouldn't give it anywhere near the score that IGN did. I'd give it a 8.6.

I would have given it a 7.5 or less... fell FAR short of my expectations due to extreme hype.

Wrestlemania X8 - I payed $9 for this game used, and I want my F**KING MONEY BACK and $20 bucks more for tthe time I wasted playing it. THQ needs to take that s**t to the PS2. Awful graphics, awful animations and awful controls. Awful. 0.0

I agree, I got it for free and I still want my money back. ()

The only reason it was ok at the begining of the summer is because it's was the first WWE game that I got my hand on this generation. After playing SD4 this game became complete crap.

Def Jam - Decent wrestling game with good graphics and animations. Needs improvement but its a solid grappler, even if it falls far short of AKI's previous greatness. 7.9

I stopped playing it as a half decent wrestling game, and now I'm playing it as if it is just a fighting game... and it falls into my favorite fighting game this gen.

Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Can anyone recommend a role playing game for the Gamecube besides Skies of Arcadia? I'm jonesing for some turned based tactical goodness.

GCN isn't really the right console if you were even thinking of looking for RPGS. I guess in the future FF:CC will be cool, that's about all I know on the subject.
