Need For Speed Underground Gamecube Review

This game is pretty awesome.  Underground (quest mode) and quick race mode are your options.  Playing the underground mode allows you to buy new cars, unlock upgrades and visual mods for your cars.  The graphics in this game are great for the Gamecube.  The music is awesome, a great mix of rock and rap of the time when this came out in 2001.  The game play is awesome.  You can pop this game in and end up playing it for over an hour or two.  It is quite addicting.  The only thing I dislike about the game is the fact that when you get towards the end of the game, it becomes tedious to try and win to move on.  You have to acquire points to unlock mods to continue at the higher stages which means basically switching back and forth between 2 vehicles.  One vehicle will be for handling and one for acceleration.  It is basically those two things you have to worry about.  The game has lots of different tracks and even runs them in reverse on some stages.  There is a Circuit mode where you just race laps and a sprint mode where you race to the finish.  There are also drift modes and drag racing modes which have their own style of play which you have to master.  Overall I give this game an 8 out of 10 stars.  Highly addictive and awesome to play.

Hulk Gamecube Review

Beat em up game for the Gamecube.  The system has plenty of them.  This game is alright, nothing real special about it.  You have a variety of moves and special attacks.  You can pick things up and use them as weapons or throw them at enemies.  You switch between Bruce Banner and the hulk.  When you are in Bruce Banner mode, you sneak around and solve puzzles.  When you are in Hulk mode, you destroy things and beat people up.  The controls are very easy to master and the game play is ok.  The game can get really repetitive fast though.  It seems like you keep fighting the same enemies over and over again with no progress.  I got bored of the game real quick.  Overall, I give the game 6 out of 10 stars.  No a horrible game but not a great one either.

Rocky Gamecube Review

This is a pretty cool game.  Lots of different options and game play.  My favorite is the movie mode.  You work your way through the 5 Rocky movies fighting different opponents.  You train between rounds with 5 different training regiments.  You can auto train for a guaranteed 5 skill points or try your luck with manual mode for a max of 10 skill points.  The game gets progressively harder and always stays fun.  The control is really easy to figure out and easy to use.  The game has very high re-playability. Try your luck against the favorites from the movies.  You can fight against Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang, and Tommy Gunn.   Overall I give it a 7 out of 10.  The graphics could have been a little better for the Gamecube in my opinion but the game play and story are great.
