Starwars Battle Front, should I buy the PS2 or PC version?

Planning on picking this up next week. Torn between the PS2 and PC version. Are there any clear advantages over one of the other?

I think the PC version can support 16 more people online.

good answer


Yeah I'm still sitting on the fence. I suppose the advantage about the PC version is that you can use your mouse.

I'm picking up the PC version because I'm more comfortable with the keyboard (or speedpad) and mouse setup.

My other concern with the PC version is stabability. Some of my PC games have issues with sound and video with causes the games to crash.

I have no idea of it's true or not, but I read on the IGN forums... Wait! Come back! OK, I guess I had that coming.

Someone posted that the PS2 version supports 16 people online while the Xbox is 24 and the PC is 32. Sounds kind of suspect to me though, especially considering the source.

are any of your friends getting it? Get what they get, you won't be able to mix systems online.

From what i read recently, this seems to be true about the amount of players online for each system.

My default answer for any FPS is PC over console, each and every time.

It's primarally designed as an online multiplayer game, so probably not...unless you don't mind playing against bots.
