Yes!
Great game.
It's the only thing I still play on my Gamecube. [/b]
I concur. The sequel looks similar to the original in terms of graphics quality, but they've added a multiplayer game, which gives it some more depth.
I personally own a PS 2 and a Gamecube, and I can honestly say that I rarely if ever play my PS 2 anymore. Both are good systems, but if you're looking for adventure/rpg style games I'd probably go with the Cube. The new slim design PS 2 heats up too quickly from what I've heard, and while it may not have all the games that PS 2 would make available to you, they're banking more on quality. Some good titles:
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Tales of Symphonia
Eternal Darkness
the Resident Evil series
Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2
Paper Mario 2
Soul Caliber 2
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (downside: I think you need a Game Boy Advance to play this one)
The Metal Gear games
If you're into import games, there's a lot of good stuff coming out across the ocean that never gets released here as well, and all you need is a freeloader to boot the games on an NTSC based system.
Good hunting..
