Nintendo's GameCube was not synonymous with first-person shooters. If you wanted to play an FPS game in the early 2000s, your best bet was to own a PC; Alternatively, Xbox started with one of the most influential entries in the genre ever. The PS2 had a good selection of shooters, while the GameCube lineup is primarily remembered Metroid PrimeAre there any other GameCube FPS games out there?

Kill or be killed for these FPS protagonists who aren't exactly the heroes and saviors you might think they are.
While not a huge selection by any stretch of the imagination, Nintendo did try to cater to the FPS audience somewhat with the GameCube and brought out a few titles that were forgotten over time. Most people remember Killer 7, 007: Night Fireand TimeSplittersbut they may not remember the following editions.

Yippee-ki-yay! Fans Die Hard the film series has seen several games over the decades, though we haven't received a new console release since 2002. Die Hard: Vendettanon-canon sequel to the original trilogy. Naturally, you play as John McLane, who must save his daughter from a well-known villain.
Vendetta it's not particularly good in terms of imagination, but it can be fun for people who really want to play McClane. They are also very few Die Hard games, so Vendetta doesn't have much competition. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to experience this forgotten FPS game as there are so many other great titles out there.

Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death
Be the ultimate judge in this GameCube shooter
Here's a fun old-school FPS game that respectfully adapts its source material while playing things relatively safe. Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death is a fairly straightforward shooter that succeeds due to its setting and clever implementation of comic book elements. Obviously, you play as Judge Dredd, who has to fulfill his role as one of the law enforcers in Mega-City One. While each chapter mostly consists of several quests, they are presented as little sandboxes where players can uphold the law or get savagely slaughtered by bystanders.
Like many of these licensed games, Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death can really only be recommended to people who are fans 2000 AD comedian. That said, it plays well enough that you don't need to be a die-hard fan to have a good time. Unlike many of these forgotten GameCube FPS games, Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death it's easy to find these days because it's on PC.

Undoubtedly, Geist is more of a forgotten action-adventure than a first-person shooter, but it has enough shooter elements to merit a mention. It attracts attention by being a rare edition of the M17+ GameCube, Geist means “spirit”, reflecting the underlying mechanics. John Raimi, the main character, ends up as a detached soul who can possess not only people but also objects. This mechanic is interesting and leads to some fun moments where you can scare enemies, with these sections acting as very simple puzzles.
In fact, these infamous games only received a rare adult rating from the ESRB
Gory, irreverent, or downright disgusting AO games are a rare breed that's all but extinct these days.
Honestly, Geist is a pretty awful FPS game. The gunfight is insensitive and unrewarding, so you end up not looking forward to sequences that are supposed to be tense and exciting. If you're looking for a GameCube shooter you may have missed, skip this one; however, if you're after the odd game with brief flashes of quality, Geist worth a look.

Serious Sam: Next meeting
A very solid Serious Sam Spin-Off that really needs a PC port
Although not quite on the same level as Fate or Wolfenstein, Seriously Sam is an ever-popular run-and-gun shooter series that has spawned its share of cult classics. If someone loves FPS games, they probably know the main items, most of which are easily available on modern consoles or PC. However, they can miss completely Serious Sam: Next meetingspin-off that did a great job of capturing the chaotic and hard-hitting action that is synonymous with the series. This cult classic has never been re-released or ported to PC, so you need to go out of your way to get your hands on a PS2 or GameCube copy.
Another meeting has some unique ideas, including a combo system that rewards your performance. This aspect can be quite divisive, but the rest of the game is just consistent action across a variety of historical supernatural settings. If you are a Seriously Sam but you only played the PC versions, watch this spin-off.

Aside from the original release, it could be argued that everything Turk games are underrated or forgotten. At the very least, they don't get the attention they deserve, especially when the franchise revolves around such a great concept: dinosaurs. Sure, there's more, but TurkIt appeals to you to go against the monsters that walked the earth. Even among the lesser known ones Turk projects, Turok: Evolution is probably even more obscure, and it doesn't help that the game isn't readily available on PC.
While it doesn't always run flawlessly, the game was quite impressive for its time and a decent progression of ideas explored in earlier posts. he said that Turok: Evolution it has its issues, especially when it comes to the stages that move away from the gunfight. It's not a must for anyone with an imagination, but it's enough.

XIII
The most stylish FPS GameCube game
good, XIII it hardly qualifies as “forgotten” as it has quite a dedicated fan base that remembers it fondly. The game is fairly easy to come by these days, although I'd recommend the classic version rather than the remake (it's playable though). Inspired by spy movies from the 60s, XIII uses a comic book art style that is absolutely bursting with personality, and that aspect is the most memorable part of the package.
However, the game offers more than just great visuals. The overworld story is exciting and features an impressive selection of villains and allies alike. The gunfight is the main focus, but XIII it also occasionally features puzzles and stealth, which helps keep things fresh during the relatively short campaign.
