That's not it.  Here's a real vidclip of Halo 1.

Yeah, but for adventure titles, wouldnt the gamecube be a fair choice? [/b]
Outside of the Zelda and RE series, the Gamecube doesn't really offer anything different in the Adventure genre that you cannot play on the PS2 or the Xbox.

I concur.  The sequel looks similar to the original in terms of graphics quality, but they've added a multiplayer game, which gives it some more depth.  
 
 I personally own a PS 2 and a Gamecube, and I can honestly say that I rarely if ever play my PS 2 anymore.  Both are good systems, but if you're looking for adventure/rpg style games I'd probably go with the Cube.  The new slim design PS 2 heats up too quickly from what I've heard, and while it may not have all the games that PS 2 would make available to you, they're banking more on quality.  Some good titles:
 
 Skies of Arcadia Legends
 Tales of Symphonia
 Eternal Darkness
 the Resident Evil series
 Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2
 Paper Mario 2
 Soul Caliber 2
 Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (downside: I think you need a Game Boy Advance to play this one)
 The Metal Gear games
 
 If you're into import games, there's a lot of good stuff coming out across the ocean that never gets released here as well, and all you need is a freeloader to boot the games on an NTSC based system.
 
 Good hunting..

right now the gamecube seems to be the place to start for me... and as xmasie says with what these things cost these days there is no reason not to also consider an xbox at a future date

but seriously, if you have the ps2 . . . stay away from the new game "fight club"; man, does it suck.  they waited this long to release a game after the movie, and this is what we get?  dorky, tekken ripoff.

there are fantastic games for each system, however if you are willing to wait you will be able to get the new xbox2

 i have an xbox and am happy with it, however there are quite a few titles that are only for playstation, wich i belive is microsofts downfalla,  then again  microsoft only wanted a part of the market, and did not plan on making any money for at least 5 years.   so i predict that the games for the xbox will only get better, as microsoft trys to get a slice of the pie
