Darklighter Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I haven't really liked XBOX at all, probably because of it's random lockups and clunkiness...it is just a massive PC that tries way too hard...I know everyone says Halo is the best looking shooter ever, but cmon...graphics over gameplay? I don't think so...Playstation has been running for 7 years now, and it is more popular than ever...now that is saying something... And whatever system you choose Phantom, I repect your decision...in this day and age competitions between consoles is always a big deal, and everyone has their preference...I would recommend PS2:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Halo has excellent gameplay. Whoever said that the best part of it was the graphics? My Xbox has never locked up on me either. My GC has several times though. I actually prefer the Xbox controller over the other two. It fits my hands well and Microsoft also has released an excellent smaller version of the controller. Called the S controller I think. You might want to check those out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCanr2d2 Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Only downfall with the XBOX is that not all of the series have released a newer version of their games, that would, unless Sony has made it otherwise, come onto the XBOX platform.... If you have a broadband connection, go for XBOX for online console play.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 This is such a hard question to answer! I too am plagued by the question xbox or ps2. Here's what I am using to decide. I like the game selection of the PS2 because you can play both PS1 games...that I already have and PS2 games. I like the price of the PS2 games. They have been out longer...so some of the games you can catch on sale at a fairly affordable price. I like the games they have out for PS2 - I am a Spyro fan. Gran Turismo fan and just in general a PS fan. I also like the fact you can use your PS one controllers with the PS2. I like the controller MUCH MUCH better than the X box one. I like them to be small. I like the XBOX because of some of the games. It seems like the game selection is growing. Its newer...so maybe it will come out with new games even after PS starts putting their energy's into Ps3 and forgets about their gamers. j/k. That's really the only thing. Oh and PS2 HAS SLOW LOADING. Sometimes that's a pain. The X box to me seems to have smoother graphics as well. But I definatly do not like the controller. I hope the price does go down like you said for christmas then I will invest in the PS2. I think that I will wait and see what happens with Microsoft. I usually end up buying all the consoles anyways. You practically have to if you want to be able to play all the cool games that come out! Also another piece of advice is - if you have a blockbuster video near you. You can rent the different systems. See which one you come to like more. Its a hard choice.
