That's what happens when you're the propaganda fellow of the forum.
You're like Nintendo's 'Iraqi minister of information'.

I gave a series of examples as to why the game is better on the Gamecube and it wasn't until Gerrid found a quote that you believed me!
The game did not translate as well because the Gamecube's hardware is different to the PS2. It has caused problems with graphics, glitches, loading time, slow down etc... etc...
The PS2 controller has the D-pad too near the thumb... you see the D-pad's use in Killer 7 is minor and if I kept accidentally pressing it, it would be a pain!
As for the PS2 controller Vs. the GC controller I'll tell ya why the GC one is superior.
For starters the main form of controlling games these days is the analogue stick. Nintendo and Microsoft have realised this and moved the analogue stick nearest your thumb... whilst Sony still opt for the D-pad to be nearer your thumb.
Nintendo have also mapped a clever button system, with the nice "meaty" A button being used to "Drive/Shoot/Run" etc... and the smaller buttons placed carefully for dwindling importance.
The L and R button, despite not being as "analogue" per say than the PS2 pad feels a hell of a lot better to use.
Cricism? The D-pad is too small... then again this was deliberate to reduce usage.
PS2 controller... outdated...
Gamecube controller... perfect for the generation.

Killer 7 on GC doesn't have jaggies!
It was definately american and a nightmare to play on the GC controller, I missed all the extra things you can do on the PS2 Pro Evos.
I'm not even contemplating buying the game on PSP because of the lack of buttons and found the game a nightmare to play on the Xbox pad too becaue of the button layout needed for that pad. I ended up buying a pad adapter just for Pro Evo.
Big mistake too, should have just taken it back and got the PS2 version it's so much better.
Which is why I can believe Killer 7 is better on the GC than the PS2 because that's what it was designed for, but it doesn't always work out like that. that's why I was fishing for some answers with a bit of critical substance :-).

[S]boosh
Anyway, from IGN:
"Still, it would've been better if more time was put into smoothing out the PS2 version. With some longer loading times with an obnoxious loop of TV static, framerate issues, hiccups, and delicate aiming that is harder to pull off with the PS2 controller, Killer 7 has made its Sony conversion a little worse for wear. The style would almost have carried this through with an equal score as the GameCube, but the fact is that these problems affect just how well the style is carried off."

Seriously there's no game like that that exists. You must have been playing either Winning Eleven 6 or ISS3 or something. MLS Extra Time was the only non ISS football game that Konami released in North America.

If poorly ported, yes, they would arise.

Like I said, it wasn't that version my mate has, it's a lot newer and more like Pro Evo 2 on the PS2 :-).
