Xbox review

(1/3) > >>

Refalm:
I tested the Xbox in a shop called HMV in Westminster City in the UK, and this is what I saw:
- The gfx on my 200 MHz are sometimes better than the Xbox (even though there is a Nvidia TNT 2 in the Xbox, it seems they aren't using it)
- The controller only fits overgrown giant hands
- The picture stops for 2 seconds every 5 minutes while playing Halo
- The A.I. of Halo's aliens (the show off game of the Xbox) are dumb (they are reloading there weapons in the middle of the street while you can shoot them off)

One thing is better than the Gamecube though:
- The Xbox has no restrictions on violence, sex etc.

And that's why I like Playstation 2 better  :D

Eh? The Xbox has a GF3 clocked at 250Mhz. Its core clock is higher than the Ti500 cards for the PC. It is castrated by memory though, limited to 64megs shared with the CPU.

Master of Reality:
i'll stick with my sega genesis.  :cool:

Calum:
yeah, me too, my megadrive has an attachment that you plug in in the slot to allow you to play master system cartridges AND master system cards!!!
now if that's not the cutting edge, i don't know what is   :D

Actually i really like my megadrive because i have a huge joystick, about the size of the machine itself, with the 6 megadrive buttons, the joystick is one of those ones like sega arcade machines have, it rattles and clicks really loudly when you use it, and allows you to really wrestle with it in those tense gameplaying moments. i really need to look into mapping that controller to my other machines... (the laptop and a sega saturn)

I have never heard of the Gamecube having any restrictions for sex and violence. I mean plenty of violent games are coming out on Gamecube...
