Which system should I buy and why? Playstation2 or Gamecube? I'm not a big gamer just want something for fun.

Answer 1

playstation 2! i have xbox but theres so many more games for playstation 2. i wish i would have got pS2.

Answer 2

Like you, I am not a huge gamer. I just like to play a few video games here and there for fun. I don't get too obsessed with any video game, in fact I usually only play when there's company! I have a gamecube because I like the Mario Party and Mario Kart series for when we have get-togethers at the house. It's pretty inexpensive, and I like that option of having wireless controllers.

Answer 3

I've got both........
The PS2 has more games available for it... though not necessarily quality ones. But is the best if you like super realistic driving games + you can play CD's & DVD's on it. Controller for it is the most neatly laid out.
Recommended games for it include:
Gran Turismo3, Gran Turismo4, F1 2002, The Simpsons: Hit & Run

The Gamecube...... you can pick them up cheap now, and it sits nicely on top of my older PS2. Can only play Gamecube Game disks on it (not CD's or DVD movie disks).
But the games for it are top notch, and last a hell of a long time (Biggest memorycard you can afford is highly recommended).
Top games for it include......
That I have:
"The Simpsons: Hit & Run" (graphics for it look slightly better than on the PS2 & XBOX versions I thought)

"Super Mario: Sunshine" - huge 3D game featuring one of the all time great characters in computer gaming. Been playing it on & off since last September, and still ain't finished it.

"The Legend of Zelda: Collectors Edition" - this disk is pretty special, as it contains both the original ZELDA games from the NES ported over to Gamecube, and also "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" & "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" ported over from the N64 (though they do suffer a few minor glitches occasionally) + a demo of "The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker".

Games that are supposed to be good, but I ain't bought yet:
"Luigi's Mansion"
"Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour"
"MarioKart: Double Dash"
"Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door"
"Star Fox Adventures"
"Star Fox Assault"

Answer 4

Playstation 2 has better graphics and more games. Although Gamecube is nintendo which usually = fun, it is their least successful console. I would recommend Kingdom Hearts for ps2 which is really fun. Star wars battlefront is a fun shooting game.

Answer 5

If you want to know which one to buy go to a pawn shop. There are nintendo gamecubes everywhere. The playstation 2 holds up longer and has better graphics

Answer 6

Playstation 2

Answer 7

Hmm. I suguest a PS2. A gamecube is for children. Unless you like kiddie games then go with the gamecube.

Answer 8

I think PS2 because there are a million games. Theres this really cool game called kingdome hearts. Its a mix between disney and animau The game lets you surf down vines with tarzan and save alis from the queen of hearts. you can do this on a gameboy advanced as well.

Hope I helped

Answer 9

For playing games by yourself, go with the PS2. If you have friends that want to join you, get the gamecube.

Answer 10

Get a used Gamecube, they are a good fun one, the games and unit don't cost very much.

Good Luck!

Answer 11

it depends nintendo games are mainly for the younger kids while the ps2 targets teens to young adults while xbox on the other hand goes for a mature audience (mostly m rated games) if you like to go online and have multiplayer games xbox is the way to go
