One Piece: Treasure Battle!
Steal Treasure and Reach for the Goal! I don’t really know anything about One Piece, so luckily this is a kind of side adventure where a load of characters turn up on an island for a competition. For the most part, it plays…
X-Men: Next Dimension
Their power is unlimited. Their battles are unbelievable. With an impressive opening cutscene, narrated by Patrick Stewart as Xavier (even though this isn’t based on the films) and a large cast of playable characters, X-Men: Next Dimension starts off very promising. The moment…
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
Legendary Monsters. Epic Battles. As far as plots for fighting games go, aliens coming along and letting all the monsters loose is actually fairly logical. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee is a one on one fighting game where you control hulking beasts duking…
Monsters, Inc. Scream Arena
Make Them Laugh! Scream Arena is set after the end of Monsters, Inc. Scream energy is out and now it’s all about laugh energy (so the name of the game becomes a lie in the opening cutscene). While filming a commercial, someone throws…
Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO
The next evolution in fighting games! The controls of this fighting game seem like they’re catered specifically to me. They’re nice an simple: punch and kick on the shoulder buttons, the face buttons for movement options and the c-stick lets you perform your…
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury
Fast and fluid hyper-beast fighting action. The first traditional fighting game on GameCube, and this one is good fun. It’s the fourth game in the Bloody Roar series, and the first one to not be released in arcades. The series revolves around Zoanthropes,…
Rave Master
An all out slugfest featuring allies, rivals, Rave and even Shadowstones!! Rave Master (or The Groove Adventure Rave for a direct translation of the original Japanese name) is an anime all about a kid that saves an old man and inherits the powers…
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Nintendo’s all-stars are ready to do battle! Let the melee begin! While the N64 Super Smash Bros was a wonderful novelty, Nintendo realised what potential the game had and decided to go all out with Smash Bros Melee, bringing more characters into the…
The Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction
From the same developer as Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry is a very similar game with the Powerpuff Girls. The gameplay is just as monotonous, a few punches, kicks and a focus on throwing objects, although I found that getting in the…
Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry
A frantic isometric fighter could work really well for Tom & Jerry. Have a few fun special moves and some funny slapstick animations and you could have a really fun, if simple, fighting game. Fists of Furry is not that game. In this,…
