Never heard of it before? I'm not surprised. I've only found one other person who has played and likes this game, and that's because I recommended it to them.
Gotcha Force obtained really mediocre reviews all around from critics - a Metacritic score of 56 says it all really. It does however have huge review scores from fans and has a dedicated following who have waited years for a sequel. The story goes that one day the 'Death Force' try to attack Earth. A boy called Kou finds a 'Gotcha Borg' called G-Red and forms the Gotcha Force in order to fend off the Death Force. To do this, the player assembles a small army, or force, of 'Gotcha Borgs' to go into combat. You start off with G-Red, who is one of the most reliable borgs on the game, and obtain more and more as you play. Each borg is unique, and collecting them all is a challenge.
There is only really one word to describe the combat: Insane. It plays at a frantic pace and can be very difficult to get your head around, but it's incredibly fun once you figure out what you're doing. It isn't the most complex system - far from it - but it's awesome!
I've sunk hours into this game and sometimes I wish I never sold my old consoles, so I could go back and play this some more. Just hearing the name of this game, or thinking about playing it, makes me happy (Yes I realise this is *really* sad). If you still have your Gamecube, please go and pick this up, it's the most fun you'll have in a long time.
Oh, also, it has one of the happiest pieces of music ever:
Enjoy!
Thanks for reading!
