I think the GC is the best. Nintendo has never really let me down. Their constant innovation in multiplayer technology is great. It beats staight multiplyer and online gaming. I'm a little tired of the xbox and ps2 heavy reliance on online gaming. The online RPG is going nowhere and I like being able to see who I'm fighting against.
The GC only has one online game, Phantsy Star Online, which is quite good. It's still very popular for some reason, but regardless Nintendo sent the Gc in other directoins, like the GBA connectivity.
Nintendo also has the game innovation going it's way. paper Mario is the most amazing game. They somehow made it better than the first. The four player Zelda and smash bros but a new spin on advanture and fighting games.
Granted there are problems, like the Prince of Persia sound problems (Prolly from conpression onto those small discs) but the GC seems to be very versatile. The GC has yet to be hacked in the traditional sense (excluding the panasonic Q way, whic is very expensive and not the real GC). PS2 and Xbox mod chips have been out for some time. I've burnt SO many PS2 games it's mind boggling. And I'm forced to buy Nintendo games. You can't pirate it. It's great. I'm proud to support a company that can' stump me. My GC games have sprung past the 40 mark while my actual PS2 games remain at a dismal 11 (I have about 44 burned games).
I also liked the polished look of the GC games. They make it look nice and round. The PS2 and Xbox are still with their unrealistic looking humans (I can't stand mouth movement on any system). I dunno. I like my GCs. They're mine. The PS2 belongs to cheator.

DUR! You don't have to sit your PS2 sideways! I never did that. the PS2, when laying down, is smaller than a VCR. The GC is MUCH taller and requires MUCH more HEIGHT than the PS2.

ok, it was just a misunderstanding
you originally said when the 'ps2 is on its end'. i thought by END you meant when it is vertical

i'll be the first too admit that i use too be one of those people that bad mouthed every sytem but my own...but lately ive come too realise there all awsome(a very slight nudge does go to the ps2 because of the large selection of games)ive recently purchased an xbox mainly because of fable but also for other xbox exclusives such as halo,panzer dragoon,
otogi,and otogi 2.. and i also plan on buying a gamecube for the resident evils and animal crossing...so in conclusion
all the systems are great....... ;D...oh and i think it was fireemblem that said the gamecubes controlers are the most comfortable,well i'd have to disagree the ps2 controllers in my oppinion are much better..

WHAT ABOUT THE SEGA DREAMCAST!
Well GC's controller is the most confortable.
GC also has better games in general
PS2 has good 3rd party support. Ex Square
Though Xbox only has a few good games and nothing else.
So in my opinion Gamecube is the best

i have all 3 (more than just those of course)
and i got to give to the playstation 2
xbox is "ok", it has Halo, and Halo 2..but you gotta pay to play online, and that really sucks. yeah there's ways to play for free online, but you gotta buy all this hardware and....it's jsut not worth it.
gamecube is a little better than xbox
the all time fav. characters and games (zelda, link, mario, samus, etc!)
but there's almost no rated "M" games or "T"
they're all usually "E" or "Childhood" ! ;D :o
plus there's no online gameplay...just LAN XD
now...the playstation 2, oh my
> free online gameplay, unless playing MMORPGs :'(
> better game archive
> the best and easiest controller to use
> BLOOD AND GORE! "M" :D
> and of course, the ability to upload full games onto it's HDD (sold seperately) :(
on my list, it goes: gameboy advance XD > playstation 2 > gamecube > xbox

Dude, where's the "all" option. PS2 has the most games, but longest load times. GCN has the shortest load times, most of hte games are, dare I say it, "kiddie." Then their's Microsoft's X-Box which has Halo, average load times, the best graphics, the least amount of games, and soon Halo 2. Oh well, I vote for hte GameCube because thats all I have right now.

Kiddy? im not the one to go and judge you, but I dont think Mario and Zelda are kiddy, just because they dont have guns and pistols, and the ability to pick up hookers in a car. I pick gamecube. Xbox is my least favorite system, i have a PS2 and a GC and i dont want an xbox.

This poll closed far too early, but gamecube gets my vote easily... it follows in Nintendo's footsteps of being the most durable system out there, since unlike my ps2 and x-box, it has NEVER needed to be repaired. Not to mention those of you who watch X-play probably saw what happened there, heh. But then, there's the games. Nintendo and the GC have all the classic characters, and for the most part, have put them all to good use. They may not have a massive selection like playstation, but how many of those have you people actually bought? If you took a good look at all of them, you'd probably realise that most of them are less than desirable in comparison to what the Game cube has to offer. And then there are those of you who've stated the other systems, ps2 namely, are better because of their innate abilities for DVD's and CD's. Yes, this is all well and good, but personally, I'd rather use my tv and playstation for something more useful, like... well, perhaps watching tv or playing video games. Not to mention it also shows that gamecube is doing what systems are supposed to- focusing on the games. What it was built for. This leaves us with the graphics. I know a lot of you praise x-box and halo/halo 2 for its beautifully done work... but those are the same people who either haven't seen Zelda 2005 trailers, or played through either of the Metroid Prime games. These are easily the best graphics on any system, cut scene or not and easily destroy games that even used motion capture systems for their cutscenes. All these things combined make the GC the best system, easily, but if you doubt me still, give me reasons why the others could be better. Go ahead, heh. I dare you.
