I want to say PS2 but it is hard to say without having an exact picture of the two. I'm not sure PS2 really is better...they are very close.

On the first two links of each I gave the edge to PS2, on the third, to DC, and the last was a toss-up

Why do the DC screen captures look so much sharper?

Those images from Playstation 2 doesn't look like CT 2, it looks like Original one ON Dreamcast.

That exactly what i was wondering. The dreamcast pics are of crazy taxi 2. I dont know why that would make a difference. Seems to me they recieved better graphics for the dreamcast pics.

i prefer the smooth look of the DC's powervr graphics, over the ps2's aliased-to-hell pixelation.

a while ago, voodooextreme posted pictures of "giants: citizen kabuto" from the PS2/PC version, and it cemented my dislike for the overhyped ps2.

lookit xbox pictures of halo, then compare them with the "crap" the ps2 is rendering (although MGS2 looks promising).

beh. pc gaming forever.

I was really hoping that the PS2 would come thru on this one. Not that I have one but this was going to the first game that could of sold me on one. Guess I'll wait some more.

This really sucks. I'm really not pro or anti either system. I love my Playstation but I think DC is ( or rather....was ) a great system. They certainly have the upper hand on this one.

The screen caps for the PS2 are of Crazy Taxi. The screen caps of the Dreamcast are of the newer and superior Crazy Taxi 2.

Even though Sega produced CT, they're not the ones actually releasing it on the PS2; they outsourced it under the condition that it is not added to or improved in any way. Naturally, CT2 will look better than the original.
