Basically over the past few years there were rumours of a new console hitting the stores. The makers of this were Nintendo. Yes Nintendo! That console was given a name. Project Dolphin. As the months rolled by more was introduced and this meant more people were getting excited. The unknown console now has been given a name. Gamecube.
Next, is the well known Playstation 2. This was brought out last year around Christmas and has sold millions over the year. And yes the makers of this are Sony. The first playstation was a huge success and maybe. Just maybe Nintendo will give them a run for their money.
Not forgeting the X-Box now. This baby is made by Microsoft and was also introduced around about the gamecube. People may be excited about this console but there is tough competition.
Firstly the actual games. PS2 has a wide range at the moment and will continue to produce many more great games for us. The gamecube although has very few games up for release has reported many others due to come out later on in 2002. The X-Box now has about the same amount of games out as the gamecube on the release date and will probably bring out many more.
Games To Look Out For:
Tony Hawks 3
Wrestlemania 2002
Raw Is War
Perfect Dark 2
Tony Hawks 2x
Mario Sunshine
Zelda
Tekken 4
and many many more...
Prices are standard as Gamecube will work out at about £200 as Playstation 2 has now been reduced to £200 too. But the X-Box is being released at a massive £300! The games are all about the same too and accessories will also be about the same as each other.
Now I would say that the Gamecube would have the better graphics but X-Box will deliver the same as it. Playstation 2 may be left behind a little but it still uses its full power and I love it.Polygons, Anti-Aliasing, textures, light and fog are just some of the devices used to make the games so good. Also the loading times are very limited and some have none at all. So expect to see a whole new dimension of gaming.
The sound will be as good as it gets for Gamecube and X-Box but the Playststion 2 is just as good. Gamecube have even used the best team around. Factor 5. It has a 16 bit processor.
I could go on forever man!
