Hey guys was hoping for a little bit of help. Got a invite to a closed store sale of JB through work and I was hoping Haze or Super Mario Galaxy would be out so I wouldnt be in this situation but I am planning on getting 1 game tonight and I dont know which one to get. Can any who has played either give me the pros and cons etc.

I dont think it will be much of a discount but ive finished most of the games on my wii and ps3 and need something to fill the gap before haze and super mario galaxy come out and these both caught my eye.

Hmm it's hard to say,

Neither of those games are revolutionary. Sure the controls in metroid are all new, but the way the game plays is the same as the first two on gamecube.

I would expect that ratchet would be fairly similar to the first 4 games as well.

I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Personally i'd get metroid though.

Haven't played both of those series however my logic says the following:

Ratchet & Clank is multi platform game so developer would try to minimise the variances among consoles (except for may be the motion sensor thing)

Metroid on the other hand is for Nintendo only so everything in the game should have been optimised for the system and make the most of it's capabilities.

Personally I would pick Metroid although I heard it is nothing revolutionary from the Gamecube's version. But if the last one you played is SNES may be you can somehow relate to the story or gameplay in this one?

I'd say ratchet then if you've never played a metroid game. You'll find ratchet easier to get into.

Metroid on the otherhand while it's brilliant some people just can't stick with it.

thanks for all your help guys it was a hard decision and at one stage I almost bought both but I took your first pick Kralster and bought Metroid. its a pretty cool game from what I've played so far. it feels like the story is very similar to the alien movies which is cool. your right about the controls though I'm still getting used to it.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
