garfield135's Full Review: Nintendo GameCube White Console
OK. This is my NEW IMPROVED review on the Nintendo Gamecube!
First off : The physical aspects :
The Gamecube really is quite small. It measures about 6 by 6 by 4 inches. It feels somewhat sturdy unlike the more plasticy
PS1.
The hardware:
The Gamecube isn't the weakest 6th gen or the strongest. It's processor is about 485 megahertz which is faster than the PS2 or Dreamcast but not xBox. It has about 43 megs of non-unified RAM.
The disk:
The disk is a big bigger than 3 inches or 8 centimeters. They can hold about 1.5 gigs.
The graphics:
The Gamecube only displays up to I think 640 by 480 ( and 576i )pixels which is standard resolution. It won't look the best on a HDTV. The graphics themselves are pretty good. Some games can really look 3-D.
The games:
I like Mario games or racing games , this system has plenty of Mario games , but not too many racing. The system has about 650 official games for it.
Get the Gamecube if you want Mario games or good quality games.
The difference:
What I mean by the difference is the DOL-001 and DOL-101.
The DOL-001 has the digital port AND the analog port. I think the DOL-101 doesn't have the digital port.
The controller:
The controller is quite nice. It has 2 analog sticks , two shoulder buttons that register as digital and analog , a start ; pause button ( no select button ) the directional pad that looks somewhat like the one on the original GBA ,
the Z trigger in front of the R shoulder button , and 4 other buttons. ( A , B , X , and Y. ) The 2 handles on it seem to go down a bit too much and feel a bit plasticy. Nothing too bad though.
The bottom line:
The Gamecube is good as a 2nd system to complement a PlayStation or xBox.
