Damnit, why must you people flame game consoles, I'm endlessly trying to defend every system fromevery type of fanboy, to put it simply, every system has at least a few games that are damn good, can't you people just grow up and realize this? I have all 3 systems and I'm perfectly happy with each one. I mean Jesus, XBox has the action oriented games, GC has all the franchises we grew up loving, and PS2 has all the RPGs. I really wish console flaming would just stop. I love every damn system.

you guys or girls are all idiots. xbox is the best system by a huge margin. it has four controller ports, excellent online play. faster loading, no memory card needed, etc.

Xbox owns PS2 and GC and if u want a small controller and have tiny hands then they came out with the Controller-S awhile ago...

Sorry but Halo is better than any game on any other system. Gamecube has a couple games I'm interested in, Mario has turned into crap, and Smash Bros. and Metroid are the only games that keep my Gamecub from being a dustcube. The only competition is PS2 and Xbox, both have great games, but PS2 has more great games. Thats a fact. If it werent for Halo Xbox would have died before 2003, but where Xbox makes up for it's shortcomming of groundbreaking titles, is its online play, and bonues features like the hard drive and custom soundtracks. Xbox, in my book, is on par with the PS2.

...Gamecube has the best controller?! Are you kidding me?! That is THE worst controller I've ever layed eyes on. And yes, I feel that Xbox's controller S is better than the Dualshock. Playing with the analogs on the dualshock is painful.

Ok, about the controller. The GameCubes controller has the tightest and most sensetive analogs I've ever touched. The button lay out is also far superior to the Xboxs, as the angled diamond shape doesn't really work. For me I have no problem, but just for someone who isn't experienced then it's fairly hard to come to grips with. The PS2 controller has unsensetive analogs, the shoulder button hurt your fingers and the actual buttons themselves are needlessly analog sensetive. So when compared, and considering that control is the biggest factor in gameplay, the GameCube wins.

As for specs, they are irrelevant. Games are what matter. Things like Streets of Rage on the MegaDrive still play brilliantly even though the spec at that time was only 16 Bit, not even a quater of todays standards.

Games that you should play on the GameCube... Zelda - The Wind Waker (plus the remakes of the N64 titles), Metroid Prime, Mario Kart DD, Pikmin, Eternal Darkness, Mario Sunshine, Wario Ware... the list goes on. The Xbox has Halo and Ninja Gaiden. Nothing much else is designed all that well to any merit. The PS2 has a plethera of RPG's like FFX and Disgea, plus cool little games like ICO.

However, as Kroenen stated in at the top of page two of this topic, consoles should not be flamed. We aren't talking technical reasons here, just games. Any one of the three consoles can have outstanding games on them, I'm just saying that design wise the GameCube has better titles, and therefore in that respect is more worth having then an Xbox or PS2. I do have all three consoles, so I'm not assuming here.

This is all fact by the way, but you are allowed your own opinion. I'm not saying you're wrong if you don't agree as I'm sure games what like playing are good for what they intend to do, i.e GTA is supposed to shock and have a cool culture, and Resident Evil is supposed to scare you, but gameplay wise are bad.

The appeal of a game to anyone person is also factored by what has influenced them in the life, and for me design has also been something that I have admired. Culture wise, you (that's any oen person, not picking out anyone here) have most likely been brought up differently and different things appeal to you, which is fair enough. Games that can't really appeal for it's sheer design usually go for the lowest common denominator - violence, swearing (that's English for Cussing) or street cred.

Design is the key to a good game, and that's the qualities of Nintendo - good design, and that's all you can really ask from a game.

I bought my Xbox for the game. THE game. Halo baby. It turns out GTA: San Andreas sucks anyways so ps2 ain't got nothin. And all Gamecube has is Donkey Konga. And Zelda, Metroid, and Mario. All of which completely suck. Especially Metroid because their fanboys are retarded. If a game doesn't have great graphics and storyline I don't play it. Period.

Controller-wise, Xbox's S-type is the most comfortable controller, and I'm surprised no one here has even heard of it.

Also, the Xbox wouldn't have died if it didn't have Halo, IT WOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED. The Xbox was made for Halo which is why the game is so amazing.

Dude, how f@#%ing old are you? That has got to be one of the most immature things I have ever read! Try not to be so narrow-minded, there's quite a few hidden wonders out there, dude. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses, EACH OF THEM. The same companies that have made some of the best games on one system, have likely made the same or even better games for another at some point or another. Didn't you ever play the original Sonic the Hedgehog? or the first Mario? The graphics were terrible, and the plots were almost inexistent, but those are two of the most successful franchises of all time. THEY STARTED IT. So, like I said- try to keep an open mind and give other systems a chance. Or, at the very least, try not to sound like a -blam!-y little baby the next time you post.

What is a PS2?

I believe a "PS2" is a standard of data communications, typically used by a keyboard & mouse, although it's quickly being replaced by USB.

PS2 ya im sure thats collecting dust in my brothers room hahaha poor poor system I feel sorry that it jus doesnt get used for anything,I mean ya I could scrap/sell it but then I couldnt look at it and laugh anymore and thats not good.

Xbox>Great system
ps2>not a great system.,.,.period.

so there thats my 2 pennies

But to tell the truth its pointless to even say things like o this system is better or this game makes that and so on and so on its really annoying I see it on almost every forum I go to its kinda ridiculous cant we make more interesting and important threads I mean I myself spend enough time online and I join forums but never really do I see a good thread or topic in any forum but dont get me wrong this place has alot of good threads/topics but sheesh ones like this one it jus makes me wanna pick my ps2 up and throw it...LMFAO

Uggh! Judge a on its games!!! System wise the GameCube and Xbox are pretty equal, both having their pros and cons (For example the GameCuube can load and stream FMV at the same time, meaning no loading screens when implemented properly like in Metroid Prime), and the PS2 falls way behind.

But you judging a system on the spec is stupid. If a new console was released tomorrow that had the best spec ever, but no games worth having then would that be the best console? No. What if Halo was PS2 exclusive, would that be your best system then? You see where I'm going here? Each game has to be individually judged, not by what console it's on but by how good it is.

Oh and by the way graphics and story are irrelevant to gameplay. Look at when consoles first came out, they had nothing to rely on but gameplay, and the likes of Mario and Sonic are still pretty nifty titles. Another great example is Bomberman - simple game with simple graphics when one of the best multiplayer games ever.

Again on the controller, the PS2 's is more user friendly, with the Xbox coming last due to the button lay out. As I said before I have no problem using either the Xbox, GameCube or PS2 controller, but for a first time player the PS2 controller is easier to adjust to. An experienced gamer would prefer the GameCubes controlelr due to the tightness of the analogs.

Any flamers or fanboys are instantly wrong. Either make a valid point or keep your fingers and thoughts to yourself.

I hear you, Ive been here longer judgeing by your date, and Ive been trying to defend all the consoles myself. mostly its defending ps2 and gamecube agaisnt xbox fanboys, but sometimes its the other way around. But as much as we try their are just too many narrowminds out there
