J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Didn’t even know this was a thing! An absolute classic on the GameCube 20-odd years ago and this remaster looks brilliant Riff Machine, GazzaGarratt, IRaMPaGe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 This actually surprised me. The fact it's released the same day and ISN'T $79!!!!!!!!!

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I also really like the choice of control schemes. Dual stick, classic, hybrid (Classic/dual stick mix) and motion. After playing with motion controls in the trilogy collection from the Wii, I think that'll be my go-to for this one. Playing dual stick with the joy-cons absolutely sucks.

phil bottle 9,589 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I loved it on GameCube, but I gave my Switch to my 6 and 7 year old nephews recently so won't get to enjoy this. Looks like a nice remaster! Riff Machine, J4MES OX4D, IRaMPaGe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Currently sitting at 94 on Meta and the original was 97! May give this a go again on Dolphin using Primehack as it would be nice to play the OG with a mouse and keyboard. The only bad I remember from the original were the weird controls which seemed quite archaic like Goldeneye yet this was in an era where we were getting used to slick games like Half Life, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 so going back to such a vastly different control scheme I really struggled to adjust with yet the game itself was amazing especially considering the lame power the Gamecube had.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 It does look so much better visually. Gameplay is damn near exactly the same, and using the dual stick or motion controls make the gameplay so much better IMO.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My only gripe right now, is for some reason, your normal gun does a 3-shot burst instead of the single shot from the original game. While it can help short term, it sucks when you get the charge beam and have to wait those 3 shots to begin charging. I hope Nintendo/Retro release a patch to fix that.
