Need for Speed Underground - Any word on what version is best?

[Will]

So it seems so far if online is of some importance:

PS2 > X-Box > GC

Just graphically:

X-Box > PS2 > GC

graphically i believe it would be something like:

xbox = GC > PS2

since all the versions look about the same, but xbox and GC support 480p.

[FirstBlood]

oh and... PC > XBox, GC, PS2

Suck my 1280-960 resolution, baby.

Only as long as you suck my comfy living room chair and 36 inch screen.

The only things I've heard about Burnout 3 are it'll have 200+ cars, will remove traffic, and will concentrate on online head-to-head racing.

NOOOOOOOOO!! Say it isn't so... SAY IT ISN'T SO! We've got plenty of arcade-style racers, the entire point of Burnout is racing through traffic. I mean, that would remove the entire mechanics of the burn meter.

I'm fine with those other two points, but if they take out traffic it immediately drops from insta-purchase to "Maybe if I have spare cash and nothing else comes out."

[Cheebs]

Indeed. That would be like taking the life bars out of Tokyo Extreme racer and adding a clock and a finish line.

I haven't seen all the versions but the guys at the local Gamestop say the GC version looks quite a bit better than the XBox rev, which makes since.

they're wrong..
the three versions look exactly the same..
100% identical..

yes, i have spent some time with all 3.

Found an interesting quirk...... Can somebody confirm this?

It looks like there is some sort of copy protection on the Xbox version. Usually I load my games onto my HD and play off of that so I don't have to ever bother with discs..... But NFSU will not start without the DVD in the tray.
