"The early 2000's: when we got big games that tried big things before they all just turned into franchises"
nailed it.
Dude yes, i tell people that all the time. They don't want to take any risk nowadays
Should've added the GameCube into the video, call it the '6th generation competitive review'...
should have added the dreamcast as well
Buy Both- all gaming consoles have some kind of awesome
You gotta have a big house to accommodate all the systems plus the library of games
So is the razone awesome?
The virtual boy tho
You are correct my freind
I love the original Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube one of my favorite gaming eras. I miss all the halo parties with friends and Mario kart and smash bros. Just my opinion but I will take couch coop system link parties and single player experience over online any day.
This has been my favorite CGR episode in ages. More informative vids like this please! I would definitely love a retrospective overview of the classics for each system, and even some of the more obscure games like tenchu return from darkness and Brothers in arms.
I had both systems back in the day, and I will say that if a game was on both systems I tended to go with the Xbox version. The graphics just seemed sharper.
xbox did have better graphics. but ps2 has nearly 3x the game selection plus ps1 backwards compatibility. So it's a matter of how much you care about graphics vrs. game selection.
Axel Alexzander what’s stopping you from just buying both
@@axelalexk2 yes the Xbox did dude what are you smoking, hey good luck if you lose your save card hahaha
@@axelalexk2 Just cause it had more games doesn't mean its better. Quality over Quantity always. Xbox had alot of good games the PS2 didn't get and vise-versa, However there was alot of Shovel ware on the PS2. I like the Hard drive and being able to rip your own music. I love not having to worry about a memory Card too. 6th generation you could make an argument for each system but for me Xbox is the best out of this Gen.
Ps2 was better. More games plus easily modded playing at 1080i. Ps2 1080i plus bigger game selection. Modded Xbox can do a lot but the quality of the Ps2 wins. Have fun with those trashy xbox dvd drives and bad clock caps.
Both were incredible... so many games I still have to play on the two...
The Xbox has almost 3 times the power of the PS2. Also it has Conker: Live and Reloaded and JSRF and Panzer Dragoon Orta and Outrun 2 (I think it was re-released for ps2 as well as 2006: C2C though).
Conker on the Xbox looks better than a lot of 360 games. I'm not even fucking joking.
I think I have a soft spot for the Xbox. It was one of the first consoles I ever played on. My dad came home one day from work with a weird silver box and some green CD cased and a bunch of wires and 3 controllers. "I got this for 20 quid." I spent hours mastering it. Timesplitters Future Perfect, Outrun 2 (poor little me, I couldn't drift on it until a few years later!), Panzer Dragoon Orta and many others. I still play it all the time.
Also. Reliability. That's something that comes to mind. Never had a problem with my Xbox. Not one. It's a tank of a console. Big Bertha. It reads games that have been pulverised. PS2. I never owned one. My friend had 3. 2 broke and his current one struggles with scratched games. Xbox 9999, PS2 1 or 2.
Don't forget that the OG Xbox can be modded (it's basically the PSP of consoles IMO), so you can technically emulate a lot of classics on your Xbox including PS1 games.
Ehh as the Wii is a better option if you want to softmod a old console, plus the D-pad on the original Xbox isn't that great on either controller.
The Wii doesn't have a huge hard drive built in.
20 gigabytes is pretty tiny nowadays, especially if you compare it to what SD/micro SD cards can hold up nowadays, and that's not including external hard drives. Whereas the original Xbox you can install a larger drive, but it isn't going to be super simple.
20 GB? Try 8GB. Although if you're emulating 16-bit era games, that's going to be more than big enough.
That's true, but that was from a time where the HDD was only used for 3-4 MB game saves and the occasional CD you'd burn onto it. 20 GB is a lot for that.
I'd say Xbox because the games look/run better on it and it's easier to fix since it's basically a PC. Though I do have a soft spot for the PS2 since it was the first console I actually owned.
Tons of games ran worse on Xbox despite better specs.
Like?
General consensus I've seen online. I only played Halo on Xbox original.
Clay3613 I'm not going to believe you unless you can give me specifics since 1. The original Xbox is so much more powerful the a PS2 it's likely it could brute force it's way to higher FPS. 2. I've not seen anyone complain about this before. And 3. I've not had any games run worse.
I can't think of one game that was on both systems that ran better on ps2. plus xbox was the only system that output in HD (720p/1080i). Also, ps2 games had a tendency to look gray and brown by comparison. Even the Dreamcast had better video output!
I was and still am an Xbox owner but have recently gotten PS2 for some of its exclusives. Both great systems!
How many of us actually still wish the Console era of Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox was around today to enjoy them?
Xbox has DOA beach volleyball with the nude mod, so there's a conclusive victory right there.
I used to have that special edition translucent green Halo Edition Xbox back in 2004. The Xbox was a really nice system. I liked how I could use custom soundtracks on some games. I spent a lot of time copying CDs to the hard disk drive and naming everything myself (there were no Gracenotes for the original Xbox). Also some games could output at 720p display resolution although I'm sure very few people used that since HDTVs were so goddamn expensive back then. Project Gotham Racing 2 and ESPN NFL 2K5 were some great titles I remember playing along with Red Dead Revolver and the Halo titles.
I found it interesting you say PS2 collecting is cheaper right now, I'd almost say the opposite. PS2's sell well where I live and are the same price at retro game stores as Xbox's. There are a lot more expensive games on PS2 than on Xbox, and a lot of games that are on both systems cost more on Ps2 (even when the xbox version is superior). Around 90% of games that are on both systems look and run better on xbox. Why would you ever get an xbox or Ps2 shipped? They are very common, just go to thrift shops or retro game stores; even stores will be cheaper than online with shipping.
I still have my release day PS2 and it still works! Played soooooo much Gran Turismo 4 on that thing.
The Xbox wasn't "arguably" more powerful, it WAS more powerful. I mean more ram, a cup at over 700 mHz where the ps2 was at 290ish, it also had the built in hdd and built in ethernet.
The Xbox was made by taking pc parts of the shelf and basically building a moderate gaming pc.
But yea, it was/is more powerful without question.
RITE the Xbox raped the ps2
@@buckeyesfan4700 did you know that the PS2 CPU is 128 bits and 6.2 GFLOP while XBOX CPU is 32 bits and 3 GFLOP? The PS2 is in fact a superior machine, the XBOX graphics is due to a GPU that can handle advanced visual effects but that is not the measure of power, the CPU is what tell the true power of a system, and the PS2 CPU is more powerful
@@jmc5979 true, not to forget that Ps2 was released in 2000 while Xbox was in 2001. Obvious ?
JM C ps2 uses most of it’s cpu fp power to do 3D geometry calculations. These tasks was done by vertex shader on xbox gpu, which is much more powerful than ps2 in terms of geometry processing. ps2: 1 vertex shader (VU1 ,4way simd )@ 300 MHz, xbox: 2 vertex shader (in gpu , each 4way simd) @233mhz.
doesn't matter then. if you connect a ps2 or xbox with component on an hdtv nowadays, the ps2 is still going to hurt your eyes lol.
I bought both systems on launch day and still play both frequently. X-Box had better looking versions of the games they shared. I always liked the configuration of the X-Box controller better, with the left stick higher up than the right.
Both systems are great and the games are so cheap now that they're both a must have.
You look like a slightly younger version of Gary Johnson
LOL
Mark, Aleppo is not a character from Ghost in the Shell.
Smoke weed everyday
I think he looks exactly like a young Daryl Hall
That's an insult to Mark.
Xbox had the first 5.1 sound capabilities on console! Loved that back in the day..
By the way the original XBOX has the best looking versions of GTA3 and Vice City
Easily. Every cross platform game looked and played better on the Xbox.
😁👍
Goddammit....every time I see Mark talking about a console from my childhood, I wanna pick that console up on impulse! DX
Too bad I'm in college right now. I guess I'll buy the Ps2 right when it starts to get more expensive.
I am a original xbox fan from the uk, I'm trying to get every game released on the console including all the US, Japan and Australia exclusive titles, I only have 26 left to get.
I still played my PS2 I have 4 ps2s and I love the backwards compatibility
I strolled through a garage sale thingy recently and there was someone who was selling 100+ Xbox games for 1 euro a piece. It's the time of the Xbox collector!
The Xbox was definitely superior graphically, the built in hard drive made it better in saving games. Also it was cool to rip music in the Xbox and add your music in a game like ESPN NFL2K5. But when it comes games I’d lean towards the PS2. Much wider game availability. I’m not a fan boy and enjoy playing all the systems. The GameCube was amazing as well.
The Xbox versions of both GTA3 and Vice City are far superior to the PS2 versions.
The Xbox GTA games support custom soundtracks and improved graphics.
Also the original Xbox supports low end HD so the Xbox games look much better on current HD TVs.
they both were amazing platforms! Halo CE, Forza, Ninja Gaiden, JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue Halo 2, Splinter Cell, Riddick, Doom 3, Steel Battalion, Gta, Gran Turismo, final fantasy X, Frequency, Ico, Devil may cry, Onimusha/Genma, KOTOR, Deus Ex 2, Metal Gear 2-3, Silent Hill(s) Dead or Alive, Tekken ect ect!!
If you didnt have both systems you truly missed out!
i compared all 3 systems before choosing - p2 had a ton more exclusives but xb had enough and the hardware specs really drew me in. Still own it.
in my view five of the best must have Xbox games are.
5 bloody Roar extreme
4 Jade Empire
3 Halo 1 and 2
2 Jet Set Radio Future
1 is a tie between fable and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
honorable mentions Forza Panzer Dragoon orta Sega GT 2002 Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 syberia 1 and 2 which are great puzzle games.
PS2 is my favourite system, just due to the sheer amount of games and how developers managed to work out technical marvels on the system's limitations, like Shadow of the Colossus and BLACK, which looks like an early 360 or ps3 game, hell there's even AA, which the PS2 does not have on hardware. However, the Xbox is a great system, and it's super underrated. Titles like Steel Battalion really experimented, and you just can't beat Halo: CE as a great killer app. Also it's got Metal Wolf Chaos, which is the most AMERICAN game ever made, and that puts it up there near the PS2.
+10 for Shadow of the Colossus. However BLACK was released on both consoles.
Even if i use the Xbox for my Multiplats i go for PS2, there are countless of exclusives and more games available than on all 3 consoles combined (Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox).
Especially all these Retro compilations and collections: Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, Art of Fighting Anthology, Metal Slug Anthology, Fatal Fury Battle Archives etc etc.
I mean you can play almost all Neo geo games and 90s Arcade games on this system, especially if you have a Japanese PS2 as well.
get a modded xbox ...you will get full sets of neogeo games...and arcade games
xtreme gold those are roms, why not just play everything on PC then? I am talking about physical games and collecting
those games fatal fury archives ,antologhy...are emulated also...on the ps2.....and the emulation is bad.slow etc..did test it my self before.....on the xbox there none of that...maybe beacuase is a more powerfull system
xtreme gold are you stupid ? They run arcade perfect you jackass. They even offer you to color edit characters and use the Neo Geo CD soundtracks, not possible with emulation. You havent played them because youre full of shit.
Why brining emulation into the argument, i can play my PS2 games in 1080p 60fps on PC, while the Xbox emulator runs buggy as f*ck? Whats your argument now moron?
PS2 has also emulators with Free Mac Boot.
xbox emulator why? just about every good game for the xbox has a pc release anyway.
I got in late on the 6th gen. I got a ps2 in 2008. My brother had one since release. All I've ever known since the N64 has been PS2. Just this past year I got a original Xbox. Prestine condition v1.6. I kinda have to say I feel like I've been deprived all these years. I love the og Xbox. It's just the black and white buttons that throw me off. But I've gotten better with the controller and I love it.
I like the hardware of the Xbox more, but I like the games on the PS2 more. So, PS2 wins.
The OG Xbox also has the Project Gotham series, which are worth getting for the console alone.
I used to know a guy who worked at Microsoft and helped develop the Original Xbox. I actually acquired a Console with Bill Gates signature on it. Still have it on my shelf
the xbox was more innovative
How?
more powerful. and the best games ever
DaCoolOne Dont get me wrong i love my og xbox. I just did collection videos on it. With that being said they were all the basically the same systems back than.
I only found the GameCube to be truly unique, and different in that era, which is one of the reasons I chose it over the PS2, and Xbox, plus buying one used was cheaper along with the cost of games, and acessories being cheaper overall as well.
It was easier to program for, the online content was leagues ahead of anything console, and it paved the way for digital game purchases. The PS2 was a bitch to program for and its online was half assed. The PS2 was basically an upgraded PS1. Though I prefer the PS2, Xbox certainly did more than PlayStation 2 did.
The 6th generation of gaming was defiantly the best by far. The PS2, GameCube, Original Xbox, & Dreamcast. So many fun, innovative, creativity, & classic games were published year, after year, after year. I miss that era (2000-2006). Though I have to admit even though i like the PS2, the lens are VERY SENSITIVE causing not to read games correctly, and the rubber on the Dual-Shock 2 analog controller wears out REALLY REALLY FAST which was annoying. The PS2 wins simply do to it's library of games but each consoles of the 6th gen are great regardless. They all had UNIQUE/EXCLUSIVE games on each. Can't go wrong with neither.
where is the melee-cube?
haha the only games i bought for gamecube were prime and melee. good investment
***** dude prime was so fucking great. good choices
When I bought the GameCube, it came with a Zelda collection of the classics. That alone was worth the price for me, as I had foolishly sold my retro systems.
It’s too awesome to be compared
I don't really know why we don't consider them retro. They're almost old enough to vote. Maybe it's because games haven't improved in 16 years.
i know right. they're retro to me.
I consider them technically retro, though its just hard to imagine them as retro compared to a NES or 2600. 2 generations ago is retro.
I just cant love the PS2 because it killed the Dreamcast. i love the xbox because in some way, it was the Dreamcasts spiritual successor.
The Original Xbox Was The Sega Dreamcast 2
as a sony guy at heart it makes me happy that i was able to play games like baulders gate dark alliance, kingdom hearts, persona, tak, god of war, final fantasy,matrix path of neo, way of the samurai,..... i could go on for weeks. it saddens me that i never got an original xbox however with the rise in emulation and hardware its almost possible for a retron 5 equivilent device that plays ps2, ps3, wii u, wii, and xbox games. just a few more years...
Have them both. Love them both. I think the ps2 is more affordable though, especially when it comes to controllers and other accessories. Where I live there is a huge shortage of xbox accessories, games or even the consoles themselves but if you wanna buy a ps2 there's plenty.
I have both consoles since Christmas 2001 and Christmas 2004 respectively.
I like the PS2 for games like Jak & Daxter trilogy, Ratchet & Clank trilogy, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs, God of War, Gran Turismo 3, WWE SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth and WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes the Pain, but I like Xbox better for more than just the games. I like the Xbox better than PS2 in recent months is because of its hardware technology, also like it because you can save your games directly to your hard drive, you can customize your own soundtracks and it's the first console to be presented in 720p and 1080i HD.
I would choose ps2 if you're going cheap or wanna play those exclusives but if you want better graphics and a higher performance you can get an Xbox. Or you can emulate both on PC.
Considering some early versions of the original Xbox had a pci express slot on the main board and the thing was easy to softmod and you could install windows xp/lunix on it without a lot of trouble. I would have to say the Xbox was better than the PS2. My 1 Silver edition Xbox is still working like new and my 8 fat PS2's are all dead and either wont read disks or dont turn on at all due to bad fuses that are really small and hard to replace as there are soldered to the board.
the PS2 to PS4 feature is a cool option too if you don't want to fork over cash for a physical PS2
where is the Xbox games video??
I basically played PS2 for that generation, and it has a ton of games albeit the best/rare ones either got HD remasters for the 7th generation like Metal Gear Solid 3 or games like Haunting Ground that are expensive. Nowadays I prefer the original Xbox as well its cheaper to get games for it as most of the time I can find complete in box games for like 2 dollars on average, and they do usually output in 480p. Still for that generation I just get multiplatform games on the original Xbox, and exclusives for the PS2/GameCube.
Definitely will have to go with playstation two in terms of library variety by far. In terms of memories though i totally have to go with the xbox. I had so much fun with halo, halo 2, time splitters 2, the burnout series, Jet set radio, quantum redshift was great, and bioware was awesome. I don't think you could go wrong with either console, although xbox was the way to go with most multiplatform games though.
Ps2 didn't have the best performance, but it had the most games and could play DVDs. So it makes sense that people wanted the ps2.
own both console from back in the day and both currently, 3rd party games always felt more polished on xbox. i mainly used my ps2 for resident evil games, final fantasy games, final fantasy 11 online mmorpg. xbox games are actually very cheap to buy. most games can run like 5-10 bucks and alot of the higher end are like 15-30
You're right man about the awesomeness era of the Ps2/Xbox. I had a Ps2 when i was a kid, and just recently started to collect for it, i already got 43 Ps2 games! Im lucky i can buy them cheap, but as i see, i have to react fast. I also want to buy a Xbox shortly, i also find it a nice console. I mean, i always thought it was an odd console, i mean Microsoft making a gameconsole? Come on, but still want it, it's funny to me. Oh and don't forget the Gamecube!
Is there a Patreon tier where we can hear Mark say "Lando Calrissian, the finest malt beverage in the galaxy" ? I would easily support that.
People talk about the PS2 having disc read issues, and early units scratching the disc, but the Xbox had some PSU issues with some of the early units. Me and my brother got an Xbox about 6 months after launch, and had the PSU fry our console about a week after getting it during a play session of Project Gotham Racing, so we took it back to Walmart, got all our money back, and about a month after that got a used GameCube from EB Games, and it's still in my collection to this day(I always played it more then he did, so when he moved a few years back he said take it), and it's working with zero issues beyond a cheap Game Stop controller being worn out, and one cheap Chinese no name memory card failing on us, so yeah people give the GameCube shit, but those little cubes are built like tanks.
I wish u could still go online for both the og xbox was years ahead of the ps2 actually it was pretty close to the 360. I miss those days so much on there talking on party chat for hours.
I would like to grab an Xbox and some games at some point. Stuff like the exclusive Sega games and Conker Live & Reloaded.
Both systems were great. The PS2 was backwards compatible and the XBOX was a beast specs wise. PS2 had the better game library while some XBOX games went as high as 720p and have aged better. Overall I feel like the 6th gen was the last great generation. All games came on a disc and you got the full game with a manual. You had to actually unlock characters and extras, not pay for them. PS2 games are starting to go up though as some people consider the PS2 retro so buy them now while they are reasonable.
It's also important to note that as durable as Xbox systems are on the outside, they aren't as good on the inside. DVD-drive Xboxs commonly have issues nowadays (especially Thomson drives like mine), and the clock capacitor will leak onto the motherboard eventually if it already hasn't, requiring it to be manually removed at some point. Just something to remember for anyone collecting. Most can be easily modded too, and have bigger HDDs installed to run game backups if there are disc-drive problems.
I have the version 1.6,it had a different clock capacitor since Microsoft seen this was a issue. They changed them either in 04 or 05. Mine is a 05 model.
Thats true. When funcoland was its own store before Gamestop bought them they had nes for $20 . Now the cheapest i see them is $70. So Mark's totally right buy now! In 20 years you can retire off your collection. Long live classic game room
I played both, PS2 and Xbox Vice City.
Vice City is my favorite GTA ever. Personally it plays beautifully on both systems!
Has Mark ever played Mass Effect? Or The Witcher?
Well...
Ok, the PS2 has a massive, MASSIVE games library (excluding its backwards compatibility of course). And the original XBOX was a very good console as well, with superb games (it also had very good controllers just as much as the PS2's dual shock was, only different by design but still very comfortable in my opinion).
It's probably a tie in terms of fun games to play on both systems really. I'd say that they're equals (but yes, the PS2 wins when it comes to the sheer number of games available for it, it's just insane).
My 2 absolute favorite consoles because of the their shared FPS libraries...But if I had to choose one, I'd go with the PS2 because it had better shmups and flight simulators which the Xbox lacked....
No mention of metal gear solid 2&3?
I'll fade away and classify myself as 1:27
I say get both they are both in my top 5 favorite of game consoles I love them both
I collect the best quality version of the game, regardless of platform
This title made me laugh heartily.
What's the next title going to be? "Muhammad Ali In His Prime Versus A Newborn Crippled Kitten" Great stuff though. Keep them coming buddy.
No, your title is way funnier. Seriously dude, this is gold.
I agree. The PS2 doesn't stand a chance!
Shaft vs Bruce Campbell
just for your info. crippled kitten won more fights in it's first year then Ali.
Xbox has far better games overall imo. Shenmue2, Midtown Madness, Halo 1 and 2, Spikeout, Gun Valkyrie, so many more...
Can't wait for Game Gear vs Gameboy though!
The sixth generation was my favorite. I just worry how long the original Xbox consoles will last. Many people have reported that the clock capacitors are already leaking and should be removed before they damage the board. I wonder how long before the other capacitors start leaking as well.
Excelent Video Mark!!!!
I actually have a ps2 slim I got last weekend from my local flea market in perfect condition and I got a original Xbox yesterday
Amazing chanel... great voice.
I had a PS2 in high school and college, but I had friends and roommates that had the Xbox, so I played both plenty back in the day. If I could only keep 1, it would be my PS2. However, I see no reason not to collect for each since both consoles and libraries are pretty cheap to have. Especially since the 360 is BC for most games (though not all run well), and the early PS3's are BC as well.
Good point!
I still have original working PS2 and Xbox (as well as Dreamcast and GameCube)... I seem to be lucky in that aspect.. the PS2 won the software war and the Xbox won the hardware war. In my mind the Xbox heralded a turning point were PC games became consolised. There was simply nothing like Morrowind on any other console and so began the convergence of console and PC.. hence why the Xbox was named. For sheer variety of software however, the PS2 was unrivalled!! Both consoles any serious collector should own.
I buy both copies for Xbox and PlayStation 2
I'm first and foremost an Xbox guy, with that being said, I like them both for their exclusives but I'd have to lean more towards the original Xbox.
THE OLD TRILL OG GANGSTA XBOX IS A BEAST SO MANY GREAT GAMES THE HALO SERIES AND MECH ASSAULT 1 & 2
While i still love the PS2 and have fond memories of it, i think the XBOX was the better console with it's simple more-thoughtful and forward-pushing design. Everybody says it was a 6th-gen console war, when in reality it was more a fight between an end-90's and a early-2000 machine. It's interesting.
The PS2 was designed to display games in lower resolutions than the Dreamcast, in which developers could make use of hardware anti-alaising ... except AA was broken. Remember the first batch of PS2 games? (Ridge Racer V, i'm looking at you)
But even then, most games just displayed in 4:3 480i, when in reality it could do much much more.
My theory is that Sony saw a threat in twhat the Dreamcast and DirectX could do at the time, so they felt under pressure and rushed the fucking design and looked at what was possible. It's specs were good when it was released, but i think, they forgot what made the first PS so successful in the first place - it's simple hardware design.
Shame that we might never see the PS2 real power (same with DC and Saturn), since most games used like ~50% of it's power at best.
Microsoft on the other hand used what was mostly tech-industry approved for their console, so the results were as expected - with some suprises. But it's library still got no real JRPG. :D
Yah I was thinking about a retro-ing a PS2, I have the OG Xbox with like 80s games already and I have to say I really Love the 6th generation and he is right PS2 is cheap to collect for. Alot of the games that are shared a more expensive on the Xbox more often than not. But its not the case for all of them. PS2 has some expensive games too. But I agree overall it is cheaper and easier to collect for.
Kinda hard to play the ps2 nowadays unless you still have an old crt tv lying around somewhere. It's looks awful on an hdtv.
Mod it and with GSM I play every game in 1080i
PS2 for Odin Sphere + R-Type Final + PS1 backwards compatibility
I have them both. I like them both for different games and reasons.
Xbox aged better than the PS2 so that console wins in my book.
Agreed 100% in the retro Market its also becoming more popular than the ps2 to collect for too.
That's because the xbox modding scene is higher. If only people knew a modded Ps2 can play every game in 1080i. I play it still almost every day lol
I have a soft spot for the XBOX. I have the limited edition, lime-green Mountain Dew console with the big duke controllers and think it's the closest thing to an Atari-made next-gen system.
A 5 year old video just got you a Subscriber!
Gotta say Xbox, grew up playing it, and it has a lot of games i love Amped Freestyle Snowboarding, Halo, Bloodwake, 007 Agent Underfire, Mech assault, the list goes on... yeah sure some of those are also on ps2 and gamecube but the Xbox has better graphics and you don't need a fucking memory card to save your games seriously i hate memory cards so much
Was this guy still on RUclips?
PS2 by a long shot on this one, although I do love games like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Forza and Outrun 2 (was that one on ps2?), the PS2 has a much larger and more diverse library. Shadow of the Collosus, Gran Turismo 4, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, Dragon Quest VIII, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Ico, Okami, etc. There were just too many fantastic games to name, there was seriously something for everyone, and that was the beauty of it, every genre was represented well, adventure games, platformers, fighters, puzzlers, racing, RPG's, and even the weird stuff you can't even classify like Katamari Damacy. Not to say that the Xbox was a bad system, not at all, multiplat games really shined on the Xbox, I owned both back in the day and really made sure to buy the Xbox version of multiplat games because they generally had better visuals and frame rates, and as a Sega fanboy it was the next logical step since I didn't want to support Sony for killing the beloved Dreamcast, but eventually I had to get my hands on Silent Hill 2 and Virtua Fighter 4.
metal gear 2 ,silent hill 2 ,castlevania rod...is also on xbox....
if you dont like jrpg\s there was no need to get a ps2....
forza is better than gran turismos
Both consoles have capcom vs snk 2. Such an awesome game.
Oh yes, it's amazing. I had it on the GameCube as a kid, I now own the dreamcast version which I actually consider to be the best, since the Dreamcast had the best arcade stick, and if I'm not mistaken Capcom Vs SNK 2 was built for the Naomi arcade hardware which was essentially an arcade version of the dreamcast hardware, several other Capcom fighters of the era used it.
I wish I had cvs2 on my gamecube back then. Now I have it on ps2 and im enjoying it to pieces.
ps2 has Outrun 2006 which includes Outrun 2 and is incredible. Looks damn near like a ps4 game
Favorite Ps2 games? Best xbox? bext ps3? Do a video for a quick muli best of system / gems you have played!
Emulators on a softmoded xbox opens up hours of gameplay.
A modded Ps2 can play every game in 1080i
I like the Xbox for 3rd party games usually because they looked better, ran a lot better, and the video out of the Xbox is cleaner than the PS2, the PS2 had a messy component output. But I chose PS2 when I was younger and I don't regret it
I can't decide...
Ps2 obviously
The xbox vs ps2 is combined the same story like the sega master system vs nintendo nes, in that more powerfull systems don't automatically means that it is better,because it's finaly all about games,games games.
The wii u is an exception,it's the least powerfull system but sells as little because of having not enough games for it.
You should have also added in the GameCube as well just to have all 3 of that gen at once.
Very good un-corporate review.
I still buy games for both. Xbox has the slightly better visuals since it does higher resolutions/widescreen more often than ps2 titles. But PS2 has an amazing library. So many RPGs.
Why did you put the camera on your side when you're just gonna face the camera when you talk? Haha.
I like them both. If both systems had a certain game available, I'd prefer the Xbox version in most cases (and in some cases the PS2 version is horrible, like Max Payne 1, while the Xbox version runs a lot better). I also just throwing in a game and saving, and not having to worry about or remember on which of my 10 memory cards a particular save is. But the PS2 has a lot of great exclusives (a lot more, IMO) and way more of the types of games that I really like (JRPGs and other weird Japanese games like Katamari). PS2 (both the phat and the slim) are also way smaller than the Xbox if that's a concern for your setup. If I had to choose one over the other I'd have to go with the PS2 (since if I really wanted to play Max Payne 1 again I could play it on PC instead).
