As you all know, Burnout 2: Point of impact is coming to all next gen. cconsoles.( Not including Dreamcast if you call it a next gen.console). Iam going to get it, but i have no idea which console to get it for. A little advice would be great.

Hey, I was making a few general assumptions that a usually true with multi-format games but was corrected. That's not ignoring you, is it?
Also, I've read time and time again that the GameCube can infact push more polygons than the PS2, on numerous official and unofficial websites. Sure, the likes of GT3 may have impressive polygon counts, but no doubt when the GameCube's pushed to it's limits it will be able to better it.
Anyway, the differences are so marginal, it barely matters. It all comes down to which controller you prefer! And there might be a price difference.

I think that the XBox version will be the better of the 3 but only just and to controller perference. Personnally the triggers on the XBox controller feel perfect with driving games. XBox has 5.1 abilties easily built in while GC and PS2 doesnt. PS2 does 5.1, but I think that its software encoded meaning more processing power needed to run the game, and thats why for example MGS2 had 5.1 only in the cut scenes.
Graphically there will be little difference, with maybe the XBox being the better of the 3. Framerate wise the XBox version may also be better as nearly ever XBox game supports the 60Hz mode and at fullscreen. While the PS2 doesnt use the 60Hz option much, or even fullscreen. GC will probably have 60Hz as most other GC games support 60Hz, but not fullscreen as the GC normally has boarders on games.
I did hear that the XBox was suppose to have an exclusive mode over the other 2, but this may not be true anymore.

You're really starting to sound like a fan boy. Everything that you say compliments the Gamecube, even when it something bad like Rare leaving, you'd say you wouldn't care.
Thanks for the info wookie

How so? I'm just telling it like it is.
I basically said the same as Tiltawhirl - there's not much in it.
The rest was in answer to Maverick's claims, as he still chooses to ignore everything I've pointed out before.

Wookie you reak of sony fan boyism
In terms of gameplay (where it counts) they'll all be identical.
If you're concerned about getting the 'prettiest' version, then check out all of the final versions in-store before buying.
The PS2 version looks highly impressive and runs at 60fps (or 50 here in the UK), and you can't actually get any slicker than that.
From the latest video on the magazine coverdiscs, all that was missing from the original PS2 game and incorporated on the Gamecube version (reflections on car bodies etc.) has now been put into this new incarnartion. (Remember, the original PS2 version was rushed to meet a deadline, hence it had a few features missing - such as DD5.1 sound).
Graphics are also likely to be more detailed on the PS2 version than the GC, as the machine pushes more polys - though the GC version might have a few extra lighting effect; not that it really matters, because you won't have tme to admire it anyway!
Loading times are likely to be irrelevant. The first game took no time at all to load.
Having said all that... after becoming bored of the first game relatively quickly, it's not a game I personally will be buying on any platform.

You'll be waiting ages for the Game Cube version, no Xbox one's been announced, and at the end of the day they will all both be about the same. So get the PS2 version if you can't wait about 4 months for the GC one.
If the last versions are anything to go by then get it for Gamecube or Xbox, not that much difference in the 2 versions. Then again if you're not particuarly bothered about smoother graphics and framerates and you prefer the Sony controller (God help you :D) then you may want the Ps2 version.
