I got (quite suprisingly as I didnt ask for it) a PS2 for Christmas along with Tekken Tag Tournament and GTA3. I have been an avid gamer for well over 7 years still having my N64 with at least 40 games and my Dreamcast with a further 30 games and I wasnt sure which next gen console to buy...
The PS2 is much better than I expected from seeing screenshots of most of the games. Tekken Tag is alot beter than expected and GTA3 has alot of very nice moments and the graphics are superb but the fact that the PS2 cant handle anti-aliasing that well always seems to show through and makes every game look really jaggy.
I played Dead Or Alive 3 in Florida in electronics boutique on the Xbox and it simply blew me away. The graphics were stunning, not a massive leap from DOA2 but still a very large substantial one but the gameplay was just like beofre with not many new elements in it.
Lastly I played the Gamecube, to be precise, the trench run on Rogue Squadron 2... Unfortunately it failed to impress me. The graphics didnt blow me away, they were good, granted but they still werent above the standard of the MGS2 demo Ive been playing on my PS2. I didnt have time to get on the Hoth level but it looks much better thaan the trench run thankfully.
All in all, which console is the best? Well, I dont see too bright a future for the GC, sure, its cheap as hell and everything about it is amazing.. Apart from the games. I just dont think there are enough good titles coming out to substantiate the consoles release. I have given up totally on the new Zelda after they changed the style, and I would have bought a GC just for that and now all Im looking forward to is Wave Race and even that just looks like an update...
The Xbox has more support, the best games, the best graphics but its twice as expensive... And Sonys effort is worth the money seeing as the amount of games I want for the console is currently more than the total number of games to be available for the GC:(
I really want a reason to buy a GC and keep the Nintendo spirit flowing but unlike the N64 which contained the amazing Super Mario 64, goldeneye, zelda etc, the GC just doesnt have enough to convince me yet..
