That's sure subjective; I find console games to be poor because the console is a rather restrictive medium...resolution cannot exceed that of a television, controller usually has at most 10 buttons, can't be used to read email, can't run graal, no large storage for homemade worlds...
It may be possible to run graal on playstation 2 if they get the harddrive w/ linux operating system. I think Graal is working on a Linux Port or something I forgot. Then again there are those illegal ports for Linux cause it wasn't made by them but I don't know much since I DON'T USE LINUX.. hehehe..
What I meant by my earlier post is that gameplay and crap like that. Of course I know that console games only have about 12 buttons, but keep in mind that graal has 10 buttons so they are not doing any better button wise (unless you wanna force people to use a keyboard when they got used to using their gamepad).

Only difference really is that graal is lacking the flow of things. Not to seem all anti-npulse but look at one quest that they had. You take a pot to a door and it magically opens to a room with a heart piece. Could of at least said it was some explosives that could blow the door down.

Also some consoles do let you check email and they do have large storage for homemade worlds if you want. I think the largest is 250 MB (I forgot), but if you were smart you would just take some old 3 GB from your computer and hook it up to your playstation two since the drives look almost the same there is prolly a way to let it work with it.
