I only played the Xbox once, and it was okay. The controllers are way to big, though. Fortunately, they fixed that in 360, but I have not played on that, so I cant really say if its better then the original Xbox. I personally think that PS2 is better (because it has Kingdom Hearts!), but I havent played any of the more critically acclaimed Xbox games (such as Knights of the Old Republic, and, of course, Halo 1/2), so maybe my opinion would change if I played them.
