Some variables that could influence on my objectivity are: the fact that I owned SNES gaming system eight years ago (I am still in love in that thing), the fact that I don`t like PSOne to much and the fact that I think that those guys in Microsoft are dirty, rotten scum.
I will start of by saying few things about all third generation consoles:
Playstation 2 is one of those consoles that had success in their blood, firstly because they are developed by the smartest minds in all of the technical world, the guys from SONY. There were some concerns that the PS2 is a bit overhyped by media and SONY itself but that is because they had every reason on this world to do it. PS2 is realy a brilliant piece of electronic wonder, it`s graphics are unsurpassed (and probably will be before PS3 ofcourse), it`s DVD (although not top-notch) is great and for the 99,9% of regular users will be marveolus… Some people are saying that the only trouble about PS2 is the lack of games on the market, that`s not true, PS2 is still an baby and the games will start to come out when it will be a teenager, that means that games will start to bloom this summer !!! And with every passing week the games will become more complex in graphics and their other aspects.
Nintendo Game Cube is a marveolus attempt of Nintendo to regain it`s place at the top of console market and even to win the «console war» !!! Well, GC is one heck of great piece of hardware but sadly Nintendo announced that it will be for the youngest segment of console gamers. But still, it is really good in comparison to that damned X-BOX !!! Although it is not meant to compete against SONYs wonder.
Microsoft X-BOX is… Is a… I can`t write tha word that would describe it… OK, let`s go on. Some people say that all people that love X-BOX are either SONYs or Nintendos lovers, but that`s not true. I realy liked the idea of Windows powered console, but then, one day it hit me… A cousin of my friends friends girlfriend became a beta tester of that awful thing, well it is complicated story of how did I get it but I am assuring you that it is rubbish. For this review I talked with a certified game programmer, he said that X-BOX games will be based on DirectX API and that is a doubleedged sword, it means that it will be a lot easier to program for X-BOX but the games will be noticable worse than on PS2 !!! And man, this is the worst design job on a console that I`ve seen since… Well I never saw such an ugly thing before. That thing should sit next to your TV and not to a toaster, that yellowish sphere is realy going on my nerves, it looks like someone (probably Bill Gates) puked on it.
Conclusion. Well, it is obvious who is winner in this review, SONYs PS2 is realy the best choice for either a Home entertainment enthusiat or professional gamer. Game Cube is great for younger players and X-BOX is worth of nothing, it is not even worth of your attention.
Now I will say why do I, and a lot of other people hate Microsofts attempt at console market. Firstly, it is so obvious that those guys are trying to make more money on cheap attempts like X-BOX, and do you remember of that affair from gamestock some time ago. I mean, they tried to impress public with falsificates, that is obviously the sign of X-BOX`s inferiority towards SONYs PS2. One more thing, windows are the worst possible gaming solution !!! And do you remember how did all other American and European consoles succeded in world, they died (just like unfortunate, although Japanese, Dreamcast did). In retrospective, we have to honour what SEGA`s Dreamcast did for PS2, it opened a whole new era in games market, it opened the sales of the third generation consoles !!!
«Man must put an end to war, before war puts an end to mankind.»
In case some of you don`t understand that refers to "console war" !!!
So what you are saying is that you suck sony **** and you are not neutral at all. okay, next topic...
