"Great game, nothing wrong and high quality"
Pros: Good games, high quality (doesn't crash or freeze like oter consoles), good controller, best overall gameplay with best platformers and rpg's
Cons: Needs more internet games
Summary: This is a wonderful console but it gets a bad rep. I suppose it's because it hasn't done quite enough marketing and work to appeal to the audiences. While others run to an xbox to go and play their dvd's and cd's, and others play some commonn game on ps2, nintendo works to go beyond what the common gamer can understand and forge new ideas in the gaming industry. It is that quality that makes me a true nintendo fanatic and see the overlooked beauty in their games. If you take the time to really look at it, you will find that the game cube has the most captivating and original games. There is nothing wrong with this console, I like it much better than any other system like the xbox. Is that surprising to you? Well, maybe it's because you haven't actuallyseen the gamecube in action. Yes, my sister has an xbox, but I can't stand the thing, the only decent thing I could find was halo (and I don't see what the game offers that any other old 1st-person-shooter game doesn't offer). A new gamecube game is sure to show you a new, unpredictable gaming experience, unlike any other youv'e experienced, even when it's a sequal game. Other games on different consoles tend to be predictable, and I am the kind of person who doesn't like to watch reruns. So if you want a common, experience, go get any other old console, but if you want something brand new and exciting, a world to emerse yourself in, go and get the king console, the gamecube.

I agree it is also the most durable hardware of the three consoles or four if you think dreamcast is part of the list

Still can't believe the bad rap the GC is getting. It proves a system does not need fancy stuff to be good, and you agree. Nicely done.
