I have numerous games that this would apply to, but the most interesting story I have that's on-topic would be Rayman 2 for the PS2. I was missing my Dreamcast and so purchased Rayman 2 which was the biggest draw for me game-wise on Sega's system. After spending an hour with the title and realizing that it was inferior in every way (game mechanics/control, voice acting, "tone"-yeah I know but there is definitely a "tone" to the DC version that you will find sorely lacking in the PS2 version, like it was dumbed-down for American audiences or something-soundtrack, etc.), I traded it back in to Gamestop. The next week I bought a brand-new Dreamcast off Ebay and 14 games, including 2 copies of Rayman 2. It's the best pre-PS2 3D platformer hands-down (runs rings around Mario 64) and it still holds up against newer titles like Jak & Daxter. I cannot recommend the DC version of Rayman 2 enough. At used DC prices it's worth it just to purchase one for this title alone. Come to think of it, I guess I'd have to say that this is still my favorite 3D platformer even with current-gen taken into consideration...
How ya doing, buddy?
