Best console game ever?

If I went based on number of hours spent playing, I think it'd have to be Super Smash Bros Brawl at this point :eek: Now that I'm going to tournaments and constantly practicing with my one friend/rival that can match me on a semi-daily basis I'm putting a LOT of hours in on it.

Is there prize money in that? Good luck, man. I wish I could face you without lag to see how I do...

If I had to pick a game based on how long I played...I have no idea what game it would be. I don't really track play time.
 
Micro Machines 4-Player on teh MegaDrive - Awesome racing your friends around a Toilet bowl, kitchen floow or pool table - sooo many wasted (but fun) hours

:)
 
^ used to have that for the Amiga, jolly fun game too! But one of my disks was damaged and could never load up the later tracks :eek: tried to get into the PS1 and DS versions but the magic isn't the same (kinda like Worms).


So I've been playing through VG music again and I'm changing mine to Zelda: Links Awakening. Never been so moved in a game, love the gameplay, the story, the characters and setting. Especially love the music. Wasn't too difficult either.

Yep, but I'm not placing quite that high yet. Tournaments are usually $5 or $10 per person, winner taking 70% of the pot. Most of the big local tournaments are ~30 people @ $10, so winner can easily rake in a couple hundred bucks, but California tournaments are usually 60+. And the big professional tournaments go for thousands (MLG etc).

I'm somewhat inconsistent though :( I can beat the top player in the state, but I can't beat several of the guys below him in the rankings that he usually beats. I'm the best Peach player in the state though, and considering that Peach is a pretty poor character I'd say I'm doing pretty well :)
 
I used to play this game in dinner hour at school (in the 80's) ....there was the karate fella who had to walk across different levels and things would drop down like snakes or quite bizarrely decorated clay pots and things like that , you would have to control him to kick them or chop at them to score points .....when you got to the end of the levels there was a baddie who you have to fight to get to the next level.....it was THE best game EVER :D

Anyone have an idea what it was called , I'm getting old now and can't remember :p

Kung Fu?
 
GTA III (PS2)
Goldeneye (N64)
Oregon Trail (PC)
SMB 3 (1 and 3 are both great, but 3 > others) (NES/SNES)
Zelda: OoT (N64)
NCAA Football 2002 (PS2) (Joey Harrington on the cover... as a Duck fan, that game got me in to the NCAA franchise and I've bought every title since)

Not in any order, but those games were all great to me and to this day I will play them all if I have a chance. Other games (mainly sports ones, but some shooters or RPGs) I logged tons upon tons of hours on but they aren't as great overall as the ones above to me.
 
Until not long ago, I'd say GoldenEye on N64 (was the first game I ever owned).

GoldenEye has been pushed aside for Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm on my third play through and still gobsmacked by it.

I liked the hype that GTA IV had when released, GTA has nothing on MGS4.

It's about time.
 
Guilty Gear XX. Only game that forced me to learn and use every technique in the manual. Truely satisfying Boss battles. Although they are hard I feel like I'm on equal footing with the bosses and not running scared or spamming moves (see Capcom) or hiding in the corner of the screen waiting for an opening (see SNK)

I do own a lot of these classics people are listing from the previous generation. I just haven't gotten around to playing them all.
I bought all the previous Metal Gear Solids at once a couple of years ago but just started playing MGS1 last weekend. I'm actually looking forward to playing MGS3 more than MGS4. I'm looking forward to laughing at MGS2.

I'll probably get flamed for it, but I can't help but say the Halo series :).

I really can't stand how they broke Halo 2 and 3 but IMO Halo 1 is second only to Goldeneye. If only it didn't have that damn Library level.
 
for that's going to have to be either metal gear for ps one or gran turismo for ps1 i have not seen a game since that makes me actually want to go home and play or nto sleep all nigh just to play...

FF7, definitely.



FF8, I'm gonna need you to take a leave of absence and rethink that and come back when you're ready to change your answer for the better.
 
My favorite console games would have to be super mario 64, Metriod Prime and Zelda: Windwaker.

I know, I know Windwaker didn't seem to be anyone's favorite, but I guess I'm weird because I also liked Majora's Mask more than Ocarina of Time.
