This feature may seem childish to a few of you, but I
have noticed alot of Microsoft fans have been bashing the Nintendo
Gamecube because it will be going head to head with Microsoft's Xbox at
the end of this year. Well I'm here to burst their bubbles, this blocky
low texture quality giant box, sux.
"With all
that money you would think Microsoft would be able to design its own
'style' controller instead of grave robbing Sega and Nintendo. Also with all those
buttons in usless places it reminds me of the Jaguar... another all
american wonder console."
The Xbox's pad must
be the biggest rip-off since Sony released the 'Dual Shock' pad. It looks
exactly like a black Dreamcast pad, it's even got the same color buttons,
and guess what they are? A, B, X and Y. It seems ever since Nintendo put
these on the SNES pad, nearly all Console pads have been using them. Come
on, can't people think of their own letters?! At least Sony did the
original thing and went with shapes. Oh, and Guess where the Memory cards
go? Yes, that's right, in the pad.

"If Sega
presented this obese black version of the Dreamcast to all you Microsoft lovers, you'd
laugh your sorry asses off."- Game fan
Ah, here you
can see whats to come. Nice blocky robot, blury textures on the walls and
a nice 2D looking character at the bottom. Is that fire coming out of his
a**?!
This is a game for the Xbox. You can still see blocky surfaces. No waves at all. Simple texture mapping. Hydro Thunder for Dreamcast still looks way better. Waverace 64 for the Nintendo 64 has more waves and textures than this Xbox game!

where did I leave my Suitcase? No wait, that's my
Xbox"

Gamers agree; what really matters are the quality of the games, not the specs of the future game systems. Screenshots are worth 1000 technical specs. Take a look...
