Today in 'The Mirror', in the Kelly's - i section, they tested the x-box against ps2

X- box

Appearance- 12/20 (Sounds about right)
Controller- 18/20 (what a load of balls, its a brick!)
Graphics 19/20 Shouldn't even count, after all its the games that show the graphics not the console)
Gameplay- 18/20 (Again, nothing to do with the console)
Variety of games 13/20 (Okay they got this one correct)

80%

Ps2

Appearence- 16/20 (Its not bad!)
Controller- 12/20 (Now this is becoming rediculouse!)
Graphics- 16/20 (No comment)
Gameplay- 15/20 (No comment)
Variety- 19/20 ( at last they got it right!)

Total 78%


This angers me very much. U can see that there is obviously favouriteism here for x-box. From the picture of them playing u can see them struggling to hold the x-boxs controller. Also gameply and Geaphics depends on entirelly what games they played!No way should they have done this. For all we know they could of played army men on ps2!

Total and utter rubbish test. Mirror people...be ashamed!

ACtually i agree that the analog sticks are poorly placed. Thats just how i find it anyway. You lot cant really comment on the x-box controller as you havnt actually held one have you?

They gave the ps2 controller 12/20 stating that "it fits the hand well but it is difficult to reach the analogue sticks" what a load of rubbish...and cdouch..ur right..they might aswell of put a picture of Bill Gates bribing coz it certainly seems that way.

Does it also have a picture of bil ates handing the editor a big brown sack with a £ sign on the front.

How much do you think he payed them to complement the Xbox and slate the PS2

the PS2 controller is much better because of the analoge buttons but other than that it's the same but the X-Box controlers are sad

They probably only gave it a 12/20 becasue it is just an update of the PSone controller, with no real innovation behind it.
