The GC, PS2, and DreamCast version of RE:CVX are all the exact same
game.

The original CV for the DC doesn't have some extra cut scenes and
other non-essential stuff.

The Dreamcast version supports 480p the others do not.

Don't waste your money on all 3. I'd get the PS2 version simply because it
has the superior controller.

Have you seen the DC version? I think the graphics is crisper and clearer
than the PS2 version. Same goes for Alone in the Dark 4.

The Dreamcast can support higher resolutions than PS2. It is noticeable!
One thing I have noticed on many PS2 games is jerky playback - I don't know
if this is because I have a PAL PS2....

That has been my main complaint about PS2 also. I bought a US one and the
motion is actually smooth on at least that game I bought, Breath of Fire.
Halo on the other hand .. Talk about jerky. And that's on both my US Halo
version and my Euro one.

How are you playing Halo on a PS2?

At 0 frames per second. No wonder it's jerky.

Just haven't gotten to SH. I've heard Fatal Frame should be good
too--different, at least.

More people should buy this game (it's $10 practically everywhere). Instead
of relying on surprises, the game builds tension....and builds...and
builds...and builds, until you're about to explode. Something's wrong...you
know something's wrong...WHY ISN'T SOMETHING WRONG?!?! And then, when you
can't help but be worn out by all the stress, BAM!

The insanity effects are icing on the cake. And it actually has solid
gameplay behind the scares!

I normally don't get into survival horror, but this is one of my favorite
GameCube games. Too bad it didn't get the hype it deserved.

I actually haven't finished it yet; got scared out of my wits once and
decided to take a break and play something else. Never got back to it. Not
that I'm chicken or anything...

Did I mention I enjoyed the game?

Heh, nice. I'll get back to you when I actually play it - at this rate, in a
few years!

I love my PS2 and the Silent Hill games, but none of the sequeals are as
good as the original. Having said that I haven't had a chance to play 4
properly yet. If you don't mind the chunkier graphics, then you might want
to try and track down a copy of that. Man, I must've replayed that game at
least six or seven times now... a record. (follow by Resident Evil 2 -
finished that 4 times. I'll probably go back and try and unlock that tofu
level one of these days...)

btw Fatal Frames/Project Zero for the PS2's pretty good too... should be
able to find a copy quite cheap now...
