When the PS3 and XB360 first debuted. They would make games that made the most of the consoles resources. Resources that allowed the games to run with the best graphics, the best sound and ultimately just funner experience all around.
At those times, the PS2 was still very much used by everyone and those who couldn't afford a PS3 or XB360 at the time continued to enjoy all the fun the PS2 had to offer.
Sometimes a new game that came out for the then next-gen consoles and the game would also be ported for the PlayStation 2. This also happens today for hand-held games as well.
But what should be noted about the XB360 games gone PS2 is that the games, as far as I can tell, were different. Most of the time in story and sometimes by gameplay.
Sometimes, the PS2 port will take cutscenes from the next-gen game.
Prime Example
Spider-Man 3 (XB360) versus Spider-Man 3 (PS2)
1. As stated above, cutscenes were taken from the XB360 version and placed in the PS2 version. So when you saw these awesome graphics during the cutscenes you would immediately notice that the graphics during gameplay were much, much different.
2. The gameplay and levels were completely different, and quick-time events from the XB port, which was a large part of the gameplay, were left out completely in the PS2 version.
3. One of the biggest differences (which in my opinion should of been added to the XB port) is that the Black Symbiote suit could be put on and taken off at will. But taking it off required you to input a set of button commands which became much harder after every time. This truly exemplified the theme that the symbiote would bond to it's host and wouldn't like to let go.
All that aside, my questions to you are these.
1.) Have you played any type of different ports to an identical game?
2.) If so, did you enjoy it?
3.) How do you feel about same game, different platform games?
