There are rumoured bugs, but I\'ve never seen conclusive evidence (it depends on which forums you go to.  XBox forums claim the PS2 version has bugs, and vice-versa).

But from all accounts, trying to play TS2 with an XBox controller is horrible.  At least compared to PS2.  Perhaps this is actually a bug, in that it isn\'t as accurate/sensitive as the PS2 version.

yeah the reported X box bugs basicaly consern small thing\'s

like Awards not being displayed in the player stats

etc

nothing critical

but if i owned all 3 (i have PS2 and NGC) i would still choise PS2 due to the fact that i prefer the Dual Shock 2 over the S X box Controller any day.

Rule number one when designing a console controller, the consumer doesn\'t want to have to break his hands in a car door for it to feel natural.

The Dual Shock 2 is almost flawless in my eyes.Sony needs to tighten up the analog sticks a bit more I suppose,but it\'s still my num.#1 controller with the Snes con. at num.#2:eyemouth:

I do have doubts as to how much stick a PS2 pad can take, FIFA killed off many triangle buttons just running, same as the X button on GTA.

But I agree, it is the best pad in comfort terms (although I haven\'t had the chance to really feck an X-Box pad yet so I can\'t tell).

seven, Mech Assault should interest you as well. It\'s one of the best games this generation. And I don\'t even have XBox Live!.

Bobo, what kinda game is it? Something comparable to Armored Core?

Multiplatform games aren\'t most often better on Xbox. The graphics may be better, but it\'s all down to how well the controls have been put in each version and which controller you like more.

Comparable, I guess.  But they are still quite different.  MA is much more based on the ground.  I do prefer MA over AC.  But I haven\'t played AC2.

You\'ll find the controls will usually be just as easy on another controller, once you adjust to it.

I personally like having the best console available to play the best games available.

Don\'t get me wrong I have a PS2 aswell but it hardly gets played because the xbox has better games coming out all the time.

I wouldn\'t buy an Xbox just for a game because I refuse to support those multi-billion, monopolizing, SOB\'s. First, they buy out the company that made the game Oddworld: Munch\'s Odyssee to be an Xbox exclusive...I played every version on the PSOne and it grew to be one of my favorite games. It was a PS2 launch title and had amazing graphics and was one of the reasons I wanted to buy a PS2. I hate Microsoft. Another reason is they bought out Bungie, so that Halo could be on Xbox and not the PS2...another wonderful reason I hate Microsoft. And third, Toejam and Earl 3...the TJ&E series is one of my favorite (mostly the first...great memories...*sniff*). Then along comes Microsoft again, bludgeoning anyone who stands in their way with their gargantuan wallet. Microsoft sucks, Bill Gates sucks (has a daughter and won\'t give her a dime). Microsoft can go to he**, IMO...

Yet you support Sony who have bought out just as many companies as Microsoft have.

If you love those games so much, buy an XBox, and stop whining.  Besides, you can\'t prove that Microsoft paid Sega to make Toe Jam & Earl 3 exclusive to XBox.

I really hate people who make their game console purchases into a galant strike against the evil corporation of Microsoft.  If you don\'t want to buy a game from a big company....don\'t play video games.

For those that may care. I came across some screens that are suppose to be of the ps2 version. You be the judge.

I think those might be screenshots from the PC version.

A week or so ago there were a few pictures floating around, supposedly from the PS2 version, but were later revealed to be the PC version.

Thanks BOB I was unaware of the pc pics, or I would have not posted these.

Ever hear of a franchise called TOMB RAIDER. I was a Saturn owner and to this day I still remember the day It became an exclusive for another console. And my Saturn died.

I feel you man. I hated that company for years. Now I am a proud owner of the PS2.

No feelings will stop me from playing great games.

All of them are out there to earn a dollar or two.

Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, etc. etc.

But the difference is, Sony didn\'t buy those.  The Saturn was flopping, and the games were shifted to the most popular console.  Which is why those franchises still made it to the N64 and Dreamcast.
