Hello, I'm back to post and stuff.

Do people still argue over consoles?

The game was built especially for the Gamecube, it has lost something in the port.

Have you played Shadowman on the Playstation and N64... It was built especially for the N64 and was a top class game... on the Playstation it was down right rubbish.

It isn't as extreme but the graphical special effects aren't as good on the PS2, there are a few glitches that have been reported, a bit of slowdown and the control system doesn't work as well.

And the GC controller is better for playing everything.

longer loading times! So if you choose which one to get, get the one with less/no loading!

Because it wasn't made to run on a PS2 initially, so thing just won't go as smooth. And the GC is more powerful anyway, so can handle it all better.
Probably not much of a difference if you're just playing it, but if you switched between the PS2 and GC versions, you'd certainly notice a difference.
