Good unknown games?

Metal Gear Solid TTS and 007 Nightfire are mentioned every now and then, but they don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve. My favorite "diamonds in the rough" are Medal of Honor European Assault and Mega Man Anniversary Collection though.Funkyhamster

I bought mega man x collection. I haven't played it but I don't consider it a GC game. It's more of a SNES/ps1 game.

Lost Kingdoms II - fun action / card rpg game, the story won't blow you away, but the graphics are good, the dungeons are fun and the battling is awesome...
Battalion Wars - mostly ignored at first, although it's gaining interest with the new Wii game coming out... I've been a huge fan of this game since it first came out, check it out...
Gladius - very fun and LONG strategy rpg
Megaman X Command Mission - very good graphics, voice work, a fun turn based battle system, but a slightly weak dungeon crawling, otherwise I liked this game alot
Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs. New Generation - seriously fun "wrestling" game, but it's more of a fighter than an actual grappler game.. still, very cool graphics, controls, stupid storyline, it has it all.. find this game, it's fun..

I bought battalion wars but haven't opened it yet. It looks like a group 3rd person shooter that's very simplified. I'm sure there are better 3rd person shooters to get, like Freedom fighters.

ODAMA!!!korn62586

I own that one. Why is it so cruel??
Midway Arcade Treasures is one of my favorites, maybe F-Zero GX could go in there... 007 Nightfire... I'm sure there's more.

it's more than just a 3rd person shooter, it's a tactical, real time strategy, squad based 3rd person shooter with planes and tanks... so yeah... it's extremely difficult too, the controls might be a little simplified i guess (isn't that a good thing) but it's not a walk in the park to play...

welp, all the sports games and mario spin-offs you don't hear much about. But I own and love them, like:

NBA Street 3

Fight Night 2

Madden

Mario Golf

Mario Baseball

Mario Strikers

Lego Star Wars

More of a collection of unknown and underapprecaited games.

Alien Hominid

- A flash game that made the big-time. It's a side-scrolling shooter that's about as close as the Gamecube came to Contra.

Cel Damage

- Cartoony frantic driving game where you try to kill you opponents with such things as buzz saws that cut cars in half. I've had more fun with this multi-playerwise than Mario Kart.

ESPN International Winter Sports 2002

- The curling, bobsled and downhill games that are quite fun in a multiplayer setting.

Fight Night Round 2

- Best boxing game on the Gamecube plus you get Super Punch-Out!! included.

Grooverider: Slot Car Thunder

- It's a slot car game and while it's not perfect, hell, how many slot car games are there out there? I like it.

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

- You can roam around a city and destroy things as the Hulk, doesn't get much better.

Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

- A fun multiplayer super-hero beat-em up. You can play as Iron Man - that sold me.

Namco Museum: 50th Anniversay

- A nice collection of old games, including Dig Dug, Galaxian, Ms Pac-Man and Rolling Thunder.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

- The best racing game in my opinion on the Gamecube. You get to outrun cops and play as cops.

NHL 2K3

- Best hockey game on the Gamecube in my opinion. Harder to score than every other game but solid gameplay.

Peter Jackson's King Kong

- Great FPS/adventure game. Makes you feel like you're part of the game/movie.

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection

- Large selection of tables, beautiful graphics, good ball physics - what more could you ask for in a pinball game?

Pool Paradise

- Only real pinball game on the Gamecube that I'm aware of. It's pretty good. I have fun with it every now and then. The floating hands aspect and cartoon setting are a bit of a put-off but the ball phsyicss are okay. You can unlock Dropzone and a dart game.

Roadkill

- Sort of like GTA and Carmageddon. Quite fun. I never knew it existed until browing ebay one day. Have never seen it in any store.

Second Sight

- Third person action/adventure game that's quite fun. Moving things with your mind never gets old.

Simpson's Hit and Run

- Simpsons GTA type game. Great graphics. Probably one of the best games ever released on the Gamecube.

Speed Kings

- Reminds me of Road Rash but better. Motorcyle game that lets you attack opponents. Again, another game I've never seen in stores, only online.

i love alien hominid! such an awsome game.

I won't repeat games that have already been mentioned but if you like shoot em ups try 'Ikaruga'. Be warned it's rock hard in places.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

From Russia With Love

Rayman Arena

King Arthur

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Alot of people still dont know what this game is:

Tales of Symphonia

Alot of people still dont know what this game is:

Tales of Symphonia

Basil-Culex

Sadly, it is a must have

Otherwise viewtiful Joe (1 & 2 only, red hot rumble sucks), fire emblem PoR, Eternal Darkness and Ikaruga dont get enought love.

what are you talking about? VJoe 1/2 sold millions of copies!!! Fire Emblem sells out on Amazon and is going for $55 no problem. Ikuraga is a crappy Dreamcast Port, not a GC game. Eternal Darkness sold millions as well. Everyone knows about that game.

Beyond Good and Evil
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's RequiemKathR

Hmmm...

Sphinx & The Cursed Mummy - looks, music, varying gameplay of platforming, puzzle-solving and combat

Second Sight - absolutely killer story and intense music, sneaking and shooting

Odama - extremely difficult strategy pinball game (I can't get past level 5)

Chibi-Robo - have yet to open this, but it's unique

Killer7 - style and brains, shooting and puzzle-solving with RPG upgrade element

Phantasy Star Online Episode 3 - strategic card game with over 400 cards to make your own decks from

Beyond Good & Evil - stylish game that involves platforming, fighting and sneaking

Fire Emblem sells out on Amazon and is going for $55 no problem.

Casiotech

PoR is sold out (and going for $50+ new on the marketplace) because it's rare and not being manufactured as much any more...

Awsome, believe him. 3D RPG does'nt gobetter than this (yet)

Metal Arms: Glitch inthe System was a third person shooter which was really overlooked. It came out for the Gamecube, Ps2 and Xbox
It was a very fun game that became very hard in the later levels (to this day...i havn't been able to beat it. I get really far into a level...die and start 10 minutes before..and thats very frusterating)

The multiplayer sucked ass but the story mode was worth the price.The game had42 action packed levels, being uncommonly long for a game of its genre. There were about 9 weapons (with upgrades to boot)and near 5-ish secondary weapons.

But what i liked most about this game..was it's humor. Just listening to the dialogue always made me laugh. haha they weren't afraid to drop an F-bomb or 5
