Unfortunately, that' s as real as it gets. It would' ve been much better if they would' ve shut their traps and let it stay a GameCube exclusive, but if they can get three copies sold by migrating consoles, they' ll do it.

Yup, something this size, all for the sake of a couple of game sales, and maybe a poin on their stock, could have screwed over a manufacturer' s current generation console.

I tip my hat to you Capcom. Good job. Oh, by the way, I loved Foxhunt :)

I think this will suit PS2 fans just fine since they have lower standards for graphics and certainly don' t expect things to look good.

It supposedly looks much better in motion and runs smoothly with only a few hiccups here and there.. A lot of owners of the GameCube version are bitching over at Gamefaqs about how " incredibly pissed" they are because there appears to be extra storyline content in the form of extra cutscenes in the PS2 version.. I swear people will whine and bitch about anything, I mean HELLO! Owners of the GameCube version got to enjoy the game at the beginning of the year, SO friggin WHAT the end of the year PS2 version has extra content? I mean it' s the least Capcom could do for the technically inferior and later released version.

Certainly people over at the gamefaqs boards will whine about anything. They' re probaly over there whining right now about the fact that you made this post here. I hate that place.

i swear you guys are turning more and more into fanboys [in the bad sense] who cares how the game looks/ how the console is designed etc.

In fact i think those boys at Capcom did a wonderfull job at converting it to the ps2, it still looks good, and would hold up to shots from the same gamecube version. And the extra stuff is nice, the gameplay is ace, and the story.. well at least you something right, eh capcom?

for f$$$ sake why has capcom done this? can nintendo get no exclusive games? is sony monopolising everything like EA does? bloody hell of course the PS2 version looks like shit but the fact they actually get to taste a gamecube game on their neanderthal console sickens me [ huge nintendo fanboy ]

It looks great. In fact, from those screenshots, I' d say it' s the best-looking PS2 game, period. Earlier I did buy a Nintendo solely for this game, and I can honestly admit that it looks just as great on the PS2. I don' t understand why some people are getting upset over the port. It means more people will be able to enjoy the game, so what is wrong with that?
