    That's very strange.
    you know about the glitch with the phazon suit, where you only get it counted as a percentage when you pick up the last item? I'm on 98% now, when I pick up my last missile expansion it will go to 100% and unlock me Gallery 3:D The game shouldnt ever show 99% items.

    it might be down to me being drunk and not having slept for the past couple of days... but that just made my ****ing day:)
    metroid prime truely is a masterpiece. but its hard to guage how other people are going to enjoy it. i always feel a bit reluctant recommending it to someone who's never experienced a metroid game before. glad that you've taken it at face value and realised what a superb game it is.
    try not to do a "kdjac" and give up when you meet the 3rd last boss:)

    rainbow kirby - now that you mention it, i think i got 98% items in my long deleted save...
    my current savegame has every item in the scan list unlocked (well,
    after you've scanned prime in its 2 forms
    ) but it only goes up as far as 99%:dunno:

    The first one is good, but super monkey ball 2 is just really annoying. Some of the levels require 0 skill and an infinite amount of luck. I got stuck on the level where it's a really long straigh run, but half the sections spin around, knocking you off, then the other half spin around knocking you off. It's a bit ridiculous really. The first one is great though, but you'll need more than one controller.

    indeed. its not the kind of game you can go back to the start and clear in a day no matter how good you are at it, theres always a level that will stop ya.

    the mini games are fantastic in 3 though (golf is the only one thats inferior to its predessor imo) monkey soccer, tennis and the much improved monkey flight (although it needs many more levels) more than makes up for it.

    Old fashioned shooter? Ikaruga is your daddy then.

    Viewtiful Joe isn't multiplayer but is so good you don't need it.

    Nice taste. Bet you prefer Busted to Metallica.

    Another GC game out recently that I picked up cheap is Pool Paradise. Does exactly what it says on the tin in that you just play pool although there is a dart board :D

    Not bad though. The graphics and physics are well done and there are plenty of tables to keep it interesting. Only €30 new in GAME...

    i dunno now. the 2d mario games were great but they are all the same now. banjo was better than mario imo. but still the games were parctically the same apart from banjo collecting jigsaw pieces. they need to change the platform games play cause its just the same boring ol' tripe everytime. mario sunshine was crap.

    evad_lhorg, you are a heretic and should be burned at the stake.

    I found that the Rare platformers, while great games, were just poorer imitations of nintendos work. And they were all so sickeningly sweet that your teeth rotted while playing them.

    Donkey Kong Country 1-3 were nothing like Mario's SNES itterations and not particularly cutesy... I can't decide on which series I like more on the SNES but the Donkey Kong games were a lot more challenging and long lasting than Mario's outings especially the awe inspiring DK2. I haven't gone back to DK2 since my retarded sister wiped my fully complete saved file which took weeks and weeks of work :mad:

    Super Mario World > DKC
    Yoshi's Island > DKC2
    eh... what other snes Mario games were there?

    that's not to say that the Donkey Kong Country games were in any way bad. i still rank DKC as one of my favourite snes games.

    I have to agree with tman Super Mario World is my favourite platform game ever, but DKC is up there too.

    (But aren't we straying a little off topic.)

    There is no better platform game than mario 3.
