PS2 vs PC version- which is best?

I have the PC version and it plays pretty good. I had no problems with the controls, though a game pad would've had better control.

 

I don't know how the graphics are w/PS2, but the PC's are awesome. However, if there's any driver issue, OS issues, etc, then it might not play, bugs out, or freezes. A console version is "guaranteed" to run it. Plus, no installation involved.

Um, get the PS2 version.

It depends on your hardware.

 

If you have a PC that can run Psychonauts on its maximum settings, it will look far better than the PlayStation 2 version. This is because the PlayStation 2 uses hardware roughly equivalent to a 2002 PC, thus meaning that a lot of the special effects in Psychonauts had to be removed. In addition, most of the character models and such have a slightly lesser level of detail.

 

The only point of contention might be the controller, as many people prefer to play platform games with a game pad rather than a keyboard/mouse. While you can buy excellent PC game pads (Logitech do a great range), many people don't have them so it's extra money. If you really can't stand playing with a keyboard/mouse and don't want to buy a game pad, you might prefer the PS2 version.

 

The PC version is the most technically superior of all the versions, by which I mean it has the best graphics. However, if your PC isn't very powerful or you don't have a game pad you might not enjoy it as much.

 

Now you have the information, it's totally your call. :D
