    Re: Xbox games VS. PS2 games

    Because you're a biased Xbox fanboy.

    I'm fortunate enough to have all three at my disposal. I own a PS2 and a Gamecube and my roommate owns an Xbox. Where multiplatform titles are concerned, the Xbox is usually superior but not drastically so save for some isolated instances. Graphics are usually a little crisper or might make use of a certain affect a PS2 version could not handle and also make use of the HD. In the instances where the games differ only slightly from a technical standpoint I'll almost always side with the PS2 version for its controller.

    As far as exclusives go, Sony has the upper hand. In this generation of consoles, it could be argued Sony has provided the best first-party experience of any of the three console manufacturers. Nintendo has been surprisingly unimpressive with Mario Sunshine, Mario this, Mario that, and so on. Their biggest hit being Metroid Prime and me being a person who can't stand first-person shooters I didn't get into it. With that said, its obvious I don't care for Halo. And outside of Halo the best exclusive Xbox has is KOTOR which appeals mostly to Star Wars junkies. I prefer the fantasy setting of Neverwinter Nights to KOTOR and the experience is the same.

    The only big Xbox title I was greatly intrigued by was Fable, and that game sucked. I played through it in a weekend and I couldn't believe how hyped it had been.

    The PS2 basically has the best game in almost every genre on its console. Racing, action, platformer, adventure, fighting, all on PS2. And once next year rolls around, they'll probably have the best baseball game as well as 989's product is noticably better than Take 2's. This is not to say the Xbox has a poor selection of software, but it is noticeably inferior to the one held by the Playstation 2.

        Lmao, no because I couldn't get into the game. And as far as kotor go that statement isn't true. I don't like star wars but the story got me into it and pulled me into a genre that I never gave any attention to before kotor came out.

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            What's wrong with being an Xbox fan or a PS2 fan?

                Re: Xbox games VS. PS2 games

                These are my opinions and many may disagree so please do not flame me! It is my opinion that the PS2 hardware is so old and out dated that no game for the PS2 interests me anymore. I have no interest at all in RPG games and most non sports games which are more common on the PS2. I am just tired of the shimmering, slow down, jagggies etc that plague many PS2 games especially when most XBOX games have much superior graphics and sound IMHO. I do not mean to bash the PS2 because there are games that may interest some people.

                    You don't see why people love that game, well Jmood that game is that best game I have ever played in my life, and I been gaming for well over 15 years now, and I just beat the game yesterady and the story and edning is truley the best I ever seen in a game, and as far as the PS2 goes, this game has the most beautiful graphics I ever seen in a game also. You don't own the Ps2 so your really can't judge fairly, but the demo does this game no justice. Go to a freinds house who owns a PS2 and play it and then tell me what you think. The game is great period, I know this is my opinion only, but trust me play it and you will feel different.

                        Re: Xbox games VS. PS2 games

                        I own Xbox and ps2. Xbox games are always better for the most part except for EA's games because it seems they do a better job of designing their games for the PS2 controller and testing their games out on PS2. Xbox graphics are nearly always better, the Xbox nearly always has better framerates and slower load times is why I prefer it. Plus I really like the always on, always aware Xbox Live aspect and how much quicker it is to login to Xbox live than online PS2 games.

                        I have about 30 games for Xbox and only about 12 for PS2 so you can see which way I lean. Half of those 12 are EA sports games too.
