According to IGN Head-to-head, the Xbox version was the best version. It had the best graphics, sound, and load times.Matisfaction wrote:The GC port was better regardless of controllers.

I have played all three, fairly extensively.Lunchbox wrote: According to IGN Head-to-head, the Xbox version was the best version. It had the best graphics, sound, and load times.
The setup was a projector (so some 'softening' of the graphics anyway) and all used the same surround sound audio setup. PS2 using standard dual shocks, Xbox with controller S, one official one shitty joytech, the GC had 2 wavebirds.
Sound was identical on all three, barring character specifics.
graphics were pretty much the same, the GC and Xbox ones looking slightly better but identical in all obvious aspects - but Iw as playing, not scrutinising screenshots, so there might be marginally higher res textures in the backgrounds on one version or something equally of a non issue.
The gc version loads fastest by a noticable amount than the xbox and a significant amount than the PS2.
With the option to play all 3 versions, people who only owned a PS2 would always pick that version just because they were most used to the controller, ditto xbox only owners and gc only owners.
People with more than one console, or - most importantly I would say - who only play games on PC usually, always chose GC as platform of choice.

Well....My house mate has an Xbox & a cube my other house mate has a PS2 & a cube and i own a PS2 + recently borrowed a cube including SCII off my brother. + all three of us own a copy of SCII
So I've had access to all three versions for a while now
All three of us agree that the GC version is slightly better to play than the other two (Which it is)
Xbox is pretty close then the PS2 version.
All are pretty good but if you want to nit pick then you have to go for the GC version as its slightly more playable (which is most important) It also has slightly quicker loading times, and the best bonus character.
We actually prefer to try games out first than to read about them on some lame website.

As far as I know IGN and Gamespot are both xbox biased. I've played all 3 versions, graphically they are all just about identicle especially the Gamecube and Xbox versions.

I know whenever it comes to buying a cross platform game, I always opt for the Gamecube version first, unless there is a significant visual difference between it and the Xbox, or if the Gamecube's disc space forces features to be removed. I always, always, always opt for the PS2 version last. It can never keep up with the other two systems in any game. In fact, if it wasn't for the majority of exclusives that the PS2 gets, I would not even bother owning one.Dr Wily wrote:People with more than one console, or - most importantly I would say - who only play games on PC usually, always chose GC as platform of choice.

Eitherway.

Good for you. I know i'm not going to bother wasting my time and money grabbing every version of a game and comparing them, but if you feel its worth it then by all means keep doing what you're doingMatisfaction wrote:

I have happened to have played all three versions so i have a fair idea about each one, I like em all but i don't agree that the Xbox version is the better of the three. how is that bashing someone?Random_Troll wrote:Eitherway. People shouldn't bash those who may not be able to afford the consoles.
If you haven't played the other games how can you possibly form an argument? Don't form an opinion by referring to questionable second hand accounts like IGN.Lunchbox wrote:meh, believe what you will. They've played all 3 versions and wrote a 6-page comparison article. I highly doubt you've played 2 versions, let alone all 3 to make such a statement
That's the point. Not " look at me i have access too all three consoles, i'm great" what kinda loser does that?
You have an Xbox + SCII then great, it's a great game on Xbox.
but don't go round saying it's better than this and better than that coz you read about it on a website. Play it yourself then form an opinion.
But you feel like you can waste your time and effort comparing them, even when there's 2 versions you haven't played.Good for you. I know i'm not going to bother wasting my time and money grabbing every version of a game and comparing them, but if you feel its worth it then by all means keep doing what you're doing
+ I don't control what my buddies buy, I can't look in to the future and see that my future housemates will have a copy of the same game on a different console. So it's not my time and money is it.

Sounds like a local shop. I'm talking about the big retail chains like Gamestop. Good luck getting them to break a seal on a game if you aren't buying it.ETR wrote:GameJunkie does.
