I said most of this already in my review in the old forum's but here is an upadate to it, grabbed my review off another forum...
I have the GC version of this game and have played all 3. Let me start by saying that the PS2 was definitely cheated on this one, not only does it have one of the worst characters' (Heihachi) but it doesn't play as well as its' counterparts. The controls on the PS2 are very easy to learn and fit the game well. There is the occasional slowdown once the effects start to go off but being that the game was built around the PS2 hardware it should've been alot better. The Xbox version has beautifully done graphics do to the Xbox's hardware capabilities, Spawn is a nice fit to the genre but at time's you stare and wonder if they (Namco) could've selected someone else. The control's are straight-forward on the Xbox's control pad, and you won't honestly tell difference between the GC and Xbox until you test it on an HDTV running on progressive scan. The GC has Link, there is a definite plus. He does fit in because basically he was built to be in these types' of games, out of all the characters in SCII his moves are the most difficult to pull off. He has 3 projectile attacks, which range from the boomerang, bombs, and the bow & arrow. You'll need to reconfigure the control's for the GC version for sure, the game doesn't disappoint at all. It has alot of extra's and alot to do. Believe me when I say that, great addition to your GC collection overall.
