10 Most Underrated GameCube Games

10. Cubivore: Survival Of The Fittest

A game of great ambition and no small amount of weirdness, Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest is an interactive evolution simulator in which your goal is to spawn an offspring strong enough to defeat the savage Killer Cubivore which runs roughshod over the land. By battling your way through the lesser creatures of the world, maintaining a balanced diet, and a programme of selective breeding, in due course you’ll become the toughest beast going. Surprisingly, it didn’t sell altogether too well.

A strategy game of sorts, the player must match their playable character against different types of Cubivore, whose strength, speed, and other vital statistics vary depending on their colour. After vanquishing a foe, you can restore their own Cubivore (there’s a good chance you’ll get your limbs ripped off quite a lot) or simply feast on the (presumably) nutritious flesh of the kill.

There’s a lot of depth to Cubivore, with lessons and theories on evolution rubbing up against a religious undertone - your ultimate goal is to reach Shangri-la, the Cubivore heaven. It’s a tricky sell, perhaps, but a fascinating GameCube curio.
