Xbox and DC - gaming similarities

I've been playing the XBox recently (it isn't mine) and I've found the gameplay aspect interesting in the sense that some games play very similar to DC games - Project Gotham and MSR for instance. The difference is more to do with polygons than gameplay mechanics, the XBox isn't a huge step up. One title that did impress me was Spiderman 2, which plays great and is unlike anything on the DC. Even this has the ghost of Shenmue lurking in the background in the sense that you can talk to people in the street and ask them questions.
In terms of gaming style though, is there for example an equivalent to Full Spectrum Warrior on the DC? Could the DC do a game like this? What other XBox releases remind you of DC games in the way they play?

lol quzar

I still think the xcrate is a monster of a console, so so big!

And I'm not a great fan of MS, but the Xbox is good in 2 aspects:
The sega releases it gets

(No Head Hunter 2 on GC

)
Exploitation, baby!

I use my xbox all the time, but I never play XBOX games

I only own 3!

I'm guessing then that you mostly use it as a doorstop and to stun large animals right?

Ever tried to take a kangaroo on without the aid of an xbox? The don't bleed so easy when you're not pelting them with a 100kg* console

*Estimation of xbox weight may be exagerated a little

Also I've never really taken down a kangaroo using an xbox, I needed 2 xbox's. Damn those guys are stubborn!

And oh yeah, matisfaction: MSR, PGR and PGR were by a group called Bizzare Creations. Each of the three games are very similar to each other and all feature the same cities (although PGR2 has more than PGR and MSR). Besides graphics being enhanced a bit and different GUIs on the games, they're pretty similar.

I, funnily enough, liked MSR the most though

...I feel your pain. This was one of my three favorite DC releases (the others being Rez, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2)...and unfortunately, it will never grace my 'Cube. And seeing as how a lot of SEGA's graphical beauty comes from stunning textures rather than the models, it will probably look rather bland and washed-out on PS2. I may have to borrow someone's xBox to play this when it comes out...UNLESS someone can convince SEGA to do a three-platform release

(yeah, right).

yeah but to be fair, the hard drive was an innovation that has improved things - most people wont use these memory slots.

The hard drive is cool!
