I have a hard time believing Just Cause had a PS2/Xbox release.

Best ver. of games during the Gamecube, PS2 and X-Box era

The GameCube version is the best version.
They're all in 480i, yes, even Xbox, so it's hard to say. Wouldn't be surprised if Xbox was the best version though still despite that.

It's possible the Xbox version run on 480p internally and output on 480i when the PS2 run on true 480i and ouput on 480i...

The extra content in the PS2 version was absolute garbage. A stain of content on an otherwise beautiful game.
Ok, Xbox wins then!

Crash Wrath of Cortex is better on Xbox and Gamecube. The PS2 loading times were ATROCIOUS.
This was only somewhat fixed in the Greatest hits release on PS2 later on.

PS2 had little technical issues in comparison, yet it contained an extra character as Dante.
To me, PS2 version was better.

Ha, ha, yeah, lower framerate in places and longer load times on PS2.
If only
GC version is an unplayable mess, bouncing back and forth between 20 and 30 fps while the PS2 version runs at 60 fps at all times.
That's good to know so thanks. Whiplash from what I've played and read from reviews is that the general consensus was that the Xbox version was best. I'm still waiting on a sequel to Whiplash. :/

Also, the difference in Project Snowblind's versions was remarkable between PlayStation 2 and Xbox, with the latter being more fluid and, overall, playable. (still, I consider it the best FPS experience on PS2, along with the Timesplitters games).
In addition, there was Red Faction 2 which ran very, very well on Xbox and took performance hits on PlayStation 2 (especially in multiplayer).
Also, Summoner 2: GCN >>> PS2.

As others have stated, Splinter Cell was the real standout to me. I played through it on GameCube, but rebought it when I finally picked up an X-Box. It was a pretty significant difference.
The other big difference I saw was on the MVP baseball series. X-Box had a lot better sound and did not stutter like the PS2 could do.

For SSX 3 I would say PS2. The button layout was perfect for that controller. The Xbox version had some grabs mapped to the white and black buttons and to tweak a grab was on the same button that was one of the grabs so there were times where if you held it too long your character wouldn't let go in time and you would crash. The GC version was just missing certain tricks at any given time. You had to go into the menu and remap some buttons, but then would lose access to other tricks. The graphics bump with GC and XBOX wasn't worth the loss of control. The game was designed to be played with four shoulder buttons.

I remember this vividly. The d-pad on the Dualshock 2 was preferable to the one on the GC and Xbox pads for a menu-heavy game like this, sure, but the game looked far better on GC and Xbox.
I think it might have even run at a lower internal resolution on PS2, but it definitely looked worse in general and this game was not a looker.
Xbox > GameCube >>> PS2
There was no file size issue or online play causing cut content on GC either.

Isn't MM X Collection compatible with 240p out on GameCube/Wii? Why is the PS2 one considered better, other than matching the SNES button layout on a PS2 pad?
Or is there something else missing/downgraded on the Cube version?

Gamecube version doesn't do 240p, the PS2 version does 240p for all games(menus are in 480i).
Yeah I need to get the PS2 version of that game.

Has Wreckless Yakuza been mentioned? I've only seen the Xbox version but I can't imagine the others looking even close visually. That game looked next gen to me
I don't think it has, and yes, it looks quite better than the PS2 and Gamecube versions.

Was this game backwards compatible with the 360?
For what it's worth, there is a mod for the GC version now that lets you swap the buttons around.
Nope.

Outside a few exceptions, the PS2 version was always the inferior one.
