re: which version to buy?

Loading time is incredibly slow on the PS2, so I suggest you dont get that one. and X-Box's graphics are the best

Yo, all I can say is buy the one for the system you own, or buy the X-box, it does have the best graphics.

Or if you like Link, but the Gamecube version, or if you like Spawn buy the X-box. But Habachi(SP?) SUCKS!!!

re: which version to buy?

It's completly your decision and if you ask anyone else you're likely to find yourself with a game that's not neccesarily what you would've liked. Since this is the Xbox forum and no one here seems to be dissapointed with spawn That's probably what most of them will say. Remember The difference between loading times on Xbox GC and PS2 is a split second and I've seen a few people here exagerating. If you don't have an HDTV than that narrows it down completely to which character you like best

Heihachi
Link
Spawn

or you can do it the lazy way And flip a coin.

re: which version to buy?

Please try not to exagerate the differences in between the console's graphics and loading times. especially graphics since they're exactly the same on each console. resolution would be a better word.

re: which version to buy?

Ack! They are the same graphics? I would never really believe that.

The consoles have their good points and bad points, but Xbox is the one with power with the graphics... So... what?

If the graphics were different then I think Xbox would look the smoothest and everything.

re: which version to buy?

I have an Xbox. It's cool, and I think the controller works well with the game. Also, If you don't like the controller, the Microcon is really good, with the Macro feature, and it's only $20 from circuit city. I also really like Spawn. The levitation feature is kinda nifty. And his axes are great. I use his redeemer, which sucks out life, and has long reach, and the only disadvantage is less gaurd. I usually avoid gaurding, and go for the "pitbull" style. Also, is Astoroth's Soul Edge (complete) really good? I just got, and haven't gottena chance to try it out, I was just going to try it.

The legendary weapons are the best weapons for each character.

re: which version to buy?

My friend rented the Xbox version And I got to try out the controls. The controls were so different I had to practically relearn the whole game. Plus my best character wasn't there. I had to beat my friend with talim. I brought My GC for comparison and the Loading times were quite literally a split second difference. I think the Xbox used some Texture smoothing technique or The GC's deflickerer might be on and Xbox does not.

The only thing that surprised me On the Xbox was The resolution. (again the GC's deflicker might be at fault) The game seemed clearer on the same type of connection (Normal AV)

Spawn to me seemed sort of cheap. But I can't judge him because I only played as and against him once. I wish there was a code you could find by playing into the GC version and finding a secret that let you Unlock him with the Xbox version.

re: which version to buy?

The PS2 version is the best because The loading times are worse and It has the Worst resolution.
