Note that the screenshots of the Xbox version are taken with the help of the dev kit's built-in capture tool (so they appear sharper than the other shots, which were captured with an external tool since Nintendo and Sony don't offer similar devices).
Unlike most other EA games, Agent Under Fire doesn't offer 16x9 widescreen support for HDTV and DTV sets. Neither the PS2 nor the GameCube version supports 480p (progressive scan) -- the Xbox version seems to have some sort of bug that changes the signal (it will reset the video signal and switch between 480p and 480i between missions. Weird).

FINAL VERDICT
EA did a great job porting the original PS2 game to GameCube. Although it would have been nice to see some serious enhancements such as bump mapping, the improved framerate and smoother look is much appreciated. Sadly, the port's not perfect as the sound in the GCN version isn't quite up to par with the PlayStation 2 game. You won't notice it if you don't have a Pro Logic capable receiver, but take it into consideration if you're an audio nut and you value sound more than visuals. The Xbox port is a little sloppy when it comes to graphics and load times -- and outside the built-in Dolby Digital support, the game doesn't use any of the console's strengths to good effect. If you disregard the lack of surround sound in the GameCube version, Agent Under Fire GCN is clearly the best out of the bunch. Load times are shorter, the framerate is more stable, the flicker and jaggies of the PS2 version are pretty much gone, and the control setups work just fine. It would have been nice if EA could have fixed some of the things gamers complained about when they first played the PS2 game, but as it stands, Agent Under Fire still provides some much needed first-person action on Nintendo's neglected new console.

Was ich mich aber frage - was willst du damit aussagen? Es ist nur eine Konvertierung, ich wüßte auch nicht was es bringt im Xbox Forum zu schreiben das SSX Tricky sowie TH 3 auf der Xbox die besten Versionen sind.
Kann mir das einer erkären? Des weiteren ist es eh ein PS2 game, und die zwei anderen Versionen sehen nur nicht so Treppchenhaft aus oder flimmern gibt es auch nicht so stark.. ansonsten ein wenig schönere Texturen.. also nichts weltbewegendes.
