It's not even so clear which version of the two is better:

Dreamcast version:
- Much sharper graphics on the background, enemies, bosses, opening, and in-game text
- Better digital control

PS2 version:
- Better rumble/vibration (+trance vibrator)
- Silky-smooth framerate
- Better analog control
Hey, everyone is entitled to what they like, I did stipulate "I think"

360 does have better resolution but I still I like the DC version better. You can really get immersed in the game or should I say experience. Especially when I can play this game in VGA.

DC version with the Madcatz vibrator really times in with music compared to PS2 version.
You literally are shaking your hands to beat while shooting.
If I ever get a Trance than maybe might change that tune ............

REZ was first developed on the DC so there is also the developer K-Project version with different music score.

Ok, I am sorry, I was a bit harsh on you, I didn't mean it :wink:
As I said, even though the Xbox 360 version is better, mostly when it comes to graphics, for the nostalgic and collector's purposes the Dreamcast version wins, all the way :) But again, I'm sorry :oops:

Do it! Everyone needs a Dreamcast!
