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

[Tracer]

Chibi: The Xbox version freezes alot. There's NO custom soundtrack, there's no online play and there's nothing else of note. It's quite frankly the inferior version. For once, I will personally attest - Underground on Xbox has framerate issues. It really does this time, not smoke and mirrors like that guy talks about. Get it for Cube or better yet, PS2.

nintendo dork: The Cube version looks better everytime if you go by store kiosks. Instead of compareing the systems for once compare the TVs your looking at them on. The Xbox kiosks have piss poor TVs and that's a stupid call on Microsofts part. The Gamecube and PS2 have wonderfull displays - particularly the PS2. Also, the only reason I would get the Gamecube version is if I didn't care if it had online features or not and didn't own a HDTV. The reason I really give GC the edge is because what the Xbox version lacks that it should have. Custom fucking Sountrack.

Hmmm... I haven't had the Xbox version crash on me once. But I will admit it has framerate problems.

I still don't know which version to get

Do I go with the Cube version so I don't have to worry about framerates.. or Xbox because of the badass racer controller and glorious 5.1 sound?

PS2 version.

Chibi: The Xbox version freezes alot.

After playing some more: OK it does freeze some.

Truth: Xbox version has framerate issues and no custom soundtrack. Framerate, I don't care so much about. No custom soundtrack, yeah that irritated the fuck out of me. I just like all my Xbox racers to have custom soundtracks, and the fact that this one didn't lost a lot of points with me.

BUT, the gameplay is still fun, the graphics are pretty tight and 5.1 audio kicks ass.

I know nothing about the GC and PS2 versions. They don't offer custom soundtracks, right? I mean, those consoles don't have HDD storage, right? If that's the case, I'm not too upset with the Xbox version.

Maybe the question doesn't belong here, but - how do you color the vinyl on the cars? Friggin white and grey...

Oh yeah, I give a thumbs up on the GC version. It frameskips from time to time, but stays within a comfy range.

It's never frozen on me.
None of the versions have custom soundtrack.
Online play was fucked from the demo and beyond with cheaters.
All versions aside from the PC version has framerate issues.

I have both the XBOX and PC versions. The PC version is leagues beyond any console port but I like the XBOX one just fine.

After playing this game extensively on 3 systems I have concluded that the Project Gotham Racing 2 version is clearly the best.

I went by this thread and picked up the Ps2 version, and I have to wonder now if the Xbox version is best. Whenever I first started playing I didn't think I was going to like it, because when the cars are lined up ready to start (and any other time that multiple cars are onscreen) the framerate crawls along until it evens out.
With that said it looks excellent. And after putting in a lot of time it's not really that bad of a problem, it's mostly when a lot is going on, and as long as you are in the lead (which you should be) it's not a big deal.
I'm having a lot of fun with the game, and have already put in around four hours.
Can someone who has played the Ps2 version and the Xbox version tell me if the Xbox revision has the same slowdown problem?
