Advantages: A in-build 64 mb Memory, Xbox live, Ethernet

Disadvantages: Size

In my German classes at school, theirs about 8 of us arguing about the best console. GameCube is just bad, it looks like Barbie?s portable toilet and the disks are just very expensive beer mats. So went arguing about Xbox Vs PS2. The PS2 people always come up with 2 main things, 1. The Xbox is big console and 2. The Xbox has no games. The Xbox is bigger than PS2 but it has a hard drive and a Broadband modem plus just think for 1 min how big is a DVD player is. Got the size in now, it?s about the length of the Xbox but thinner. See where I?m going? Well the other room has the rest of the parts needed to make the Xbox work! e.g. hard drive, CPU, GPU, Modem. Now about games, what I say to them is at this time there are over 160 games. But still Xbox does not have as many games as PS2 but it has better games. What is better ? quality or quantity? PS2 have many sport and gangster games but are any as good or original as Halo. Recent great games on Xbox include the amazing Splinter Cell and Championship Manager, Splinter Cell is going on PS2 (look who needs some good games) and Xbox is the only console than can handle Championship Manager. One more thing how much is a PS2 8Mb memory card? Please tell me if I?m wrong, I think there about £20-£30. Xbox has 64Mb and no memory card. Xbox just rules.

Other problems with your opinion:

Surely points 1 and 4 are the same thing?

Points 2 and 3 are irrelevant as written as, guess what, the PS2 and GameCube also have CPUs and Graphics cards...

It' s not the best-priced console on the market, GameCube is cheaper.

You figures for speed are largely inaccurate, as I don't think you're taking into account the fact that the 3 systems have completely different designs - you can't just compare the processor's MHz rating to accurately judge the relative console speeds.

So all in all, not a great review really... If you had a paragraph for each point you made explaining what you're on about and why you think it, it would be a completely different story...

Errrr, most people don't add a comment with "Great review" on their own opinion.....

Any way, to get a higher rating you need to add a LOT more info. To get an idea as to how much to add then read around on the site and rate everything you read.
