    It's a good game but I think they ruined some of the cutscenes with over the top silliness. Strange to find any GC games at all let alone NTSC ones.

    i reckon its just game companies flushing out the last of their stock from their warehouses. however, xtragame also a good few xbox originals aswell and older releases on various consoles. could be worth a look

    Quite a good find... It is quite enjoyable, but Retr0 is definitely right about them going too Hollywood on the cutscenes

    Think I found my copy in mint condition in game years ago, was chuffed with myself at the time. Got some gems from there over the years actually, including Panzer Dragoon Orta

    I have a PAL copy of Twin Snakes on the Gamecube that I was going to trade into Gamesnash next week. I only opened it on purchase to check the discs were present & I never got a chance to play it

    Wow never seen that before. Admittedly I don't go into Xtra-Vision much but I've never seen it anywhere. Where's this Square, Tallaght?

    We don't normally take gamecube games in as trade ins as we don't carry them in general but we do have a couple of other retailers we deal with who do take certain titles in. Based on their prices Rael would have been offered €15.00.

    If it's worth €35-€40 I'd be inclined to sell it privately. :)

    I got 36e for it on ebay and it was one of my first sales so I'm sure if I had a higher feedback score I would have gotten more. That was in early Feb I think.

    Definitely sell it there!
