Gamecube Prince of Persia - $29.99 - Target
I see the other Target thread but I was wondering which version is better, the GameCube version of the XBox version? Or is there even a difference?

I picked this up on the Gamecube instead of the Xbox for a couple reasons. The game is in progressive scan and I only hook my GCN up to my HDTV, it came with Splinter Cell for free and I really liked the GBA/GC connectivity and most of all... Wavebird.
The game itself is a real masterpiece. I now understand how EGM named it Game of the Year. I still haven't finished it (swept up in Crystal Chronicles) but I plan on soon. The multiple ways of manipulating time in battle is fluid, let alone all the acrobatics and puzzle solving. Worth the pick up on any console. I thought I read a review somewhere that the GCN was the version of choice though.

The game is a masterpiece no matter what version you get but from everything that I have read in all of the magazines I got, they all ranked the xbox game the best as well. They also said the graphics were also best on the xbox version so I don't know where IGN came up ith it the opposite. In any case, I'm not putting down any console (I own all three myself) But I bought the game on the XBOX and I played and looked amazing. Simply beautiful in the graphics dept and the control was as tight and fluent as ever. A must have title. Plus, I just got the new XBN Magazine and they gave it a perfect 10 - 10.

That what I thought too. I occasionally had to manually rotate the camera or use the L2 button (I have the PS2 ver.) to get a better view.
Other than the camera.....don't really have any complain. love the control and the animation for the fighting.
