  • Summary: The lid to the toy box has blown off its hinges and the toys are ready to rumble. It's toy versus toy in this over-the-top 3D action shooter. You can create your own fighting force with over 100 unique characters. Up to four players can battle for control in four-player battle mode or two against two. Play against your friends or work together to defeat your evil foes. For more characters, you can trade with your teammate to assemble a powerful unit and roll on to victory. Expand

  1. Has to be the most underrated, overlooked game of the year. Ever since Power Stone died with the Dreamcast, there hasn't really been an entertaining 3D four-person melee fighting game. Gotcha Force takes the Power Stone-type genre to the next level.
  2. The combat is both intuitive and fast enough that you can easily sit down and play a quick game any time.
  3. The battles are frantic and over quick enough to make it perfect to dip in and out of, and the multiplayer battling is wicked fun with mates.
  4. Distractingly strange, with clunky controls, mixed up graphics and a story line that is just plain out confusing.

    one of the best games ive played for gamecube.
  2. Great combat, millions of combination for your teams and some real variety in gameplay this game pretty much consumed my gamecube. Sure there were other games such as zelda and such but I beat this game 10 times to unlock the hidden characters. The storyline was garbage but the gameplay made up for it so well that it really didn't matter. Not only did it have some fun co-op but it have 4 player split screen versus which amused my friends and I for hours on end. If you ever find this in the used bin, pick it up, you won't regret it.

    I admit it was entertaining the first few battles. Then it got dull. It was the same thing over again, the story mode was horrible, most of the gotcha bots were useless, and the camera and controls are horrible. I'm sorry, stay away. This game's best area is multiplayer, and I can name 30 GC games off the top of my head that have better multiplayer. Expand
