Gotcha Force

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.

The combat is both intuitive and fast enough that you can easily sit down and play a quick game any time.

It's cute, it's exhilarating, and it's an extremely good alternative to the failed Pokemon Channel. Is it worth the casual gamer's dollar? Probably not.

Too linear to be challenging for expert gamers, and with a learning curve that dips into boredom exponentially the longer you play it, this is a perfect rental for your ADD-riddled nephew -- and him only.

While Gotcha Force definitely has visual punch and lets you lay the smack down on foes with your customized robot attack squad, it's a little on the bland side.

It's very rare when a title comes along that needs a STAY AWAY warning. Gotcha Force is that title.

The robot design and collection aspects are pretty good, but it isn't worth much when you're just pounding buttons like an idiot. Mindless gameplay coupled with camera problems and not much else leads to a game you definitely don't need to get.

Gotcha Force is the kind of cult classic that deserves more recognition. The sheer number of unique characters is staggering. While specific characters don't have huge depth, there are so many "borgs" that finding a play style that has long lasting fun and appeal is easy. This game definitely has flaws, but it is the best hidden gem for the GameCube and definitely needs a sequel.

One of the best games in existence with a large variety of playable robots with each type offering a different way to play makes this game create a standard no other game has reached since. Simply put the "professional" reviewers who gave this game a low score should be ashamed of themselves.

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.

Great and fun! Its like shooting down everything in your path! Though this has cons bad camera angles I can barely attack someone in front of me and the voice actors are annoying like eating rotten rats from the junkyard! so I give it a 7

Acceptable gameplay, repetitive music, unmemorable maps and simple stories. However, the design of the characters and the variety of their moves kept me hooked on this game. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes collecting and releasing characters. But be careful as the game can become repetitive in its gameplay.
