The Best of 2003 - Page 2

*ahem*
Prince of Persia. Prince of Persia. Prince of Persia.

this game has pretty much ruined all other platformers for me. I tried playing Jak II, and it was like eating a slice of wonderbread after a whole loaf of hot homemade bread.

im torn between Advanced Wars II and Fire Emblem for best strategy. of course, i havn't played FFTA yet, so i can't comment on that.

Recently, I played my cousin's copy of FFT:A, and I'd like to say two things right now:
1) I apologize for being biased against it, you should really play a game before judging it.
2) BUY IT NOW!!! IT IS THAT GOOD!!!

Yes, this little cartridge packs a bigger punch than you might expect. My cousin (let's call him 'J-Unit') has spent over 50 hours on that game, and he says he barely made a dent in it. That either means that J-Unit is a slow gamer, or this thing has lots of gametime.

Verdict: Try it. You'll thank me later.

I think it's kinda unfair to put a game like Soul Calibur II as the best GC game when it also came out for XBOX and PS2. I know because it had link it was a step above the others, but it was still mostly the same game. I nominate a new catagory.

Best Multi-Platform Game

This way, only "GameCube only" games would go under the "Best GC Game" catagory. Same with PS2 and XBOX.

Best Fighting:ZOE: The Second Runner

Eh? Fighting game? Not to take away from ZOE2, it's one fine piece o' videa-gaming (And anything with the Vic Viper automatically scores big points). But it's much more of an action game than it is fighting, at least from what I played.

Besides, we all know Guilty Gear X2 is the best fighting game of 2003...
