It's a novel idea, one of which could have been really well done. But score one for missed oppertunity... mind you, Geist is by far not alone in this strange catagory of "Should of bloody worked but didn't"...
7:14 am... *yawn* /glugs down coffee. note: Also worth pointing out that Zelda isn't here yet, so be wary of the "Death of Gamecube" snipes... if Geist is a wasted oppertunity, I wouldn't WANT it to be trumpeted around. I'd much rather it was left as a curio so we can await something which is WORTH our attention. Like, I dunno... Zelda: Twilight Princess, perhaps?

Well no offense people, I was actually impressed by such an early review post so tried to push my luck. Actually where I am, it is not 'morning' but more of a 'mid-morning'. The Geist review prevented me from sleeping during the first hour - you know, squinting at the tiny window and constantly pressing ALT-TAB to pretend you are working is hell of a job.
Problem is, I WANT MORE!!!! Coffee doesn't do it for me folks. |

What is this business with people 'loving' their GameCubes and then complaining about the lack of games (surely a minor issue?!) and deciding not to buy this one? Does the GC give you a massage or something when it is not playing games, which is most of the times as per some posts in this thread?
Just curious. |

So, not as good as golden eye or perfect dark then?
"Much as I love my Gamecube, I can't imagine buying any more games for it apart from Super Mario Strikers and the new Zelda." - only zelda for me.....if ts really good. "Go back to fapping over your Perfect Dark videos loser :p " - I dont know, but not everyone around here is like you. Fammping on game vids isnt healthy mate. Id suggest getting some professional help. ;p /throws some oil on the fire. /runs away. |

Is that a hint of jealousy I smell Tengu? |

Must admit, little to keep my gamecube now.... now that monkey ball is multi-format, I could pretty much sell it. Disappointing, really. I always wish for more from nintendo and they never get quite enough games that work (last couple of gens, anyway)

Guess this is one of those "purchase at half-price next year" kind of games then.
Fire Emblem, Batallion Wars, Gun, Mario Smash Football, a late Pikmin 2-purchase, plus the 4-5 best DS-games (including an imported Animal Crossing) will be my priority this Christmas. And maybe that Mario dancing game. |

For crying out loud. Can no discussion on these pages avoid decending into mind numbing "my platform is better than yours" nonsese.
So, Geist, not quite what we had hoped for eh? A real pity. I had a feeling when I first saw this that some of the mechanics described needed unique implentation each time to stay fresh, and my worry was that it would simply run out of ideas (I think I compared it to Red Faction in that regard when I read the preview and saw some movies). |

Since only GAME has spartan total warrior for a rip off £39.99 in stock in cambridge, I took a chance on Geist (with a 10 day return option) and the game is not bad. I agree with some of the points in the review, I'm glad is not another shitty FPS like the very dull project snowblind
