PS2.
I love my GC, but it's really just there to add variety to my collection. It would be a poor stand-alone console compared to the PS2.
PS2 is one of the greatest systems ever released due to it's unbeatable library of games across all genres. PS2 is most definately the way to go.

Now is actually a brilliant time to get a PS2, it's really cheap and has thousands of games, a lot of which are great quality. The GC is also great but I'd say PS2 just pips it to the post. Most annoying thing about PS2 is it's loading times, they are much shorter on GC.

The PS2, there is a lot of variety in the game library and its huge. Some games are still coming out for PS2. Gamecube isn't bad, but PS2 is better.

For me personally there would be no hesitation here. I would go with the PS2 every time. It's got so many great games on it and new ones are still being produced.

I would go gamecube. Games are cheaper, there are many gamecube exclusive games you haven't listed. The gc games have quality over quanity. The gc hardware is more reliable also.The gc is also cheaper at gamestop. Out of curiocity why are you selling your 360?

PS2 is a legendary system. Gamecube is good but mainly the games worth playing are made by Nintendo (not that that is a bad thing but...). Actually you may be able to find a GCN for less than $40 at random places so it would be worth owning. However if you are just going to get one PS2 is the better choice by far.

PS2 >>> GC. The GC isn't bad though, but it doesn't have nearly as much great games.

Also, I would recommend twilight princess instead of WW.

As much of a huge Nintendo fan I am, I will have to agree with everyone here in the recommendation, go for the PS2. However, you should really try to pick up a Gamecube if possible, it is worth it for the wonderful exclusives, including Super Smash, Bros. Melee, which you had not listed
Personally I will take my GCN any day of the week over the other 2, but that is only my preference of course.

*WARNING* Fanboy alert! *WARNING*

Seriously, get the PS2. And believe me, it does have some great karting multiplayer games if that's what you asked for.

If you can find a store called CD Game Exchange then you can get a GC as low as 30 dollars. As for a PS2 I think new they are 129 or something used I don't know. But if you don't have this store near you go for the PS2. MGS2-3, God of War... Enough said....

It doesn't really matter, but GCN has better graphics than the PS2. As for MGS: Twin Snakes, do you have any idea just how much I've been looking for a copy of that game? I should have bought it back then instead of the rental. I need not only to play it, but also add it to my collection.

Get a Ps2 if you can get a Ps3 as it is backwards compatible you can play PS1 & 2 games on it & also has a blueray. I wanted to get one but I went for the Wii because of all the hype that made me want it, I'm totally regretting it right now. I also have an Xbox, PSP, DS lite of all these systems I like the PS2 the best so you decide.

id go with the PS2. the GC is basically dead (RIP little guy...fantastic console) where as the PS2 is still actively supported.the PS2 also had a selection of games that dwarfed every other console last gen....and theres full PS1 support also.

the GC had alot of classic games on it mind (metroid prime is simply a must play imho) and it was better built and designed system but...no more games are coming. if u get an addon then u can also play game boy advance and colour games..but thats about it then.

so yea...PS2 imho.

I own both. I love both. You posted several games that you wanted to play it. You may get PS2 first because you want play more PS2 games than Gamecube games. If you want to get Gamecube, then you may get either Wii (100% BC Gamecube except BBA, 56K MA, and Gameboy Player) or Gamecube.

Iown both systems and in terms of game selection, the PS2 is unbeatable. If you are gonna buy GC games, make sure it is for the firs party exclusives: All the games you listed for PS2 are excellent, as for GC: Mario Sunshine; good but flawed camera system, Wind Waker; awesome, WaveRace Blue Storm; played it till I drop, really good water physics based racer (heck, so good in fact that there are no other games like it!, maybe Hydro Thunder, but really not the same.), Mario Kart, Double Dash; it is Mario Kart, what is not to like. So really, you are not making the choice that easy, so I'll go for the GC games, but only because these are becoming a rarity nowadays, finding them later on will be nearly impossible, while the PS2 ones are widely available.

PS2 because it has the best lineup. Sony is still pushing a lot of these platforms and quality games are still coming out. Nintendo has pretty much killed the GC by refusing to release titles on it and focusing on the Wii.

PS2, no question.

The Gamecube was not a bad system, but the PS2 has far more games already and still has plenty more new releases coming out.
