Gotcha Force Game Sample - GameCube

Original Air Dates: November 14th, 2008 / Jun 4th, 2010 (Revised Today!)

This is the third (and perhaps final) time we're revising a video for this game, and we don't do that for many games... Capcom should get the hint that people want a sequel to this great game. Gotcha Force is a cult classic game that recieved relatively mediocre scores from magazine publications and major review sites, but retains incredibly high marks among fans and casual reviewers. While the game has a fairly generic story with simply hilarious and at times laughably bad dialogue, relatively simple graphics, and confusing camera angles during close quarters combat (alleviated somewhat by auto-locking at close range), the concept in and of itself is a testament to how amazing the game is and with proper advertising, could've become another franchise Capcom could milk to no end. It could even be their "Pokemon".

In the game, you can assemble a great toy army of over 200 characters with their own abilities and unique characteristics to fight with on a variety of stages that really make you feel like you're playing with toys as buckets and soda cans tower over your characters. You can train your favorites to boost their parameters and they have different rarities and special versions of borgs as well. The game's framerate slows down considerably in multiplayer matches, but is still loads of fun and good to play on the Wii through component cables on an HD TV, and the character pairs and strategies are immense. The game has a pretty enjoyable soundtrack.

Funny how since you can play this on the Wii, it's also one of the best games for "it" too. It's a damn shame that there's no GF2, as this was easily one of the most out-right enjoyable games released for GameCube. Well, if we leave it to Capcom, we might hear something by 2013 (since it took them like ten years to dish anything on MvC3).

This video has been revised at much higher quality and merges the opening with the gameplay. We play one stage with a preset "Gaming Sanctuary" unit for the video and the first stage of Story Mode, but unfortunately you won't see anyone other than G-Red because I'm pretty decent at the game. G-Red's only weakness is that he talks, lol. Enjoy.

It's similar like Custom Robo imo...

[Vysethedetermined2]

@kagon01 I've heard this before, but it's really almost nothing like CR; you don't have exploration in GF, you don't get customizable parts in GF, GF's story has almost nothing in common with CR, you couldn't assemble big teams in CR, the stages are tiny compared to GF, there are no stage hazards in GF, the variation of abilities is less in CR (the borgs add for loads of variations; the parts of CR do, but to a lesser extent), the gameplay is completely different. They both have robots.

Wow...the graphics look amazing. This must be a rare gamecube game.

@SlyCopper23 Was pretty uncommon for a time, still kinda uncommon, though there are always copies on eBay. There's also one at one of my local Gamestops right now, though it's missing the manual.

What happens when you combine Virtual-On and Pokemon? You get Gotcha Force on the GameCube. Actually, Gotcha Force is the spiritual successor to the Gundam Vs. series (also by Capcom), since the game uses a modified engine (right down to HUD placement and exact camera effects when nailing the final blow to the enemy). An underrated mecha game for GameCube, although the voice acting is terrible.

This REALLY needs a sequel.

I'd prefer it to be on the 3DS!!
