Im sure we ve had this discussed before but wondered what everyone thought of the games that appeared on both formats.
I know the PS2 came out first and the exclusive xbox games were mind blowing graphics like WWF RAW compared to Smackdown on the PS2.
But how was it in terms of multi games that appeared on both consoles kinda like GTA Vice City or Crash Bandicoot?
Ive heard people say games were better on the Xbox because them being released on PS2 first so they could upgrade everything to look better and feel more crisp.

GTA San Andreas was a more stark comparison, it always seemed graphically very basic on PS2, the PC version on a top graphics card at the time was like night and day, it was of course 1920x1080 on that, now we've finally got that for a console. The Xbox was naturally a bit better for this game too. In a lot of games I didn't even notice too much, but it was a bit more noticeable with GTA San Andreas, the 720p PS3 version is just a poor ish port. On a lot of multiplatform games you possibly didn't notice a lot between the systems, Gamecube, PS2 & Xbox because they had to dumb them down to perform on the lowest capable system, so that would effectively mean everything had to be at the PS2's potential only, there were sometimes extras thrown in or timed exclusivity and that would change the games.
The PS2 was the best of all 3 consoles, while each had better features than its rival. The PS2 was number one. Gamecube was number two while Xbox was way behind in third. I had so much hate to the console, the controller was and still is the worst design ever to be designed. It was the best for all that memory on the hard-drive and having your own music in games. graphically the gamecube was the best for gaming.... seeing the remake of Resident Evil was amazing. All while those consoles had their pluses, The PS2 was over the best even being released roughly 2 years before its rivals....And to me, the greatest console ever made, beating the PS1 by far.
