    If you're forced to choose, take this version over the more frustrating Xbox one.
  2. It has fewer extras, more pixelated graphics, and more frame rate chop than [its next generation] siblings, and the frame rate chop, especially, is an occasional damper on gameplay.
  3. As far as driving games go, this is a must-skip.

    The game is a perfect 3d realization of the original Spy Hunter. The controls are great for single-touch movement. The graphics are actually better for GameCube than any other system, though not far off in this catagory. For instance, the Gamecube version is the only one to use full three-crested raytracing on the car to make reflections. Little touches like that. Also, those web sites that say that the framerate is bad need to review the game AFTER it hits the market. The original release was buggy in the framerate--a conversion problem. That was fixed in the second release, which also had a few problems. The current release, #3, is fine, and those reviewers who get pre-release copies or never get re-releases need to get the newer release of the game. It actually surpasses the PS2 and X-Box versions in small details. I give the game a 9 rating only because of the lack of the ability to choose modes for multiplayer, because most of the levels that are not Chicken Hunt ones would be better as Chicken Hunt ones.
