The PS2 attempts to make up for lack of memory by giving some absolutely insane memory bandwidth. Rebel Strike pushes upwards of 20 million polys per second, which far outdoes the closest competitor on PS2 or Xbox. Also worthy of note, GameCube is still the current leader for most polygons pushed in a console game with Rebel Strike. Again, the closest thing that I am aware of on the PS2 is MGS3, which never has more than 4 or 5 enemies attacking you. GameCube often has upward of 6 or 7 enemies attacking you simultaneously, with a high poly player model, all while rendering incredibly detailed backdrops. They are the nice little things that make a 3D model. And levels are almost always bigger on a GameCube than a PS2. At any rate, this should be a non-issue, given that I've seen many GameCube games without load times, but have yet to see a PS2 game do the same. (In the case of Eternal Darkness, load times were artificially inserted, as the player couldn't react to the new room quick enough). which both managed to stream the levels off the disc, eliminating load times completely. Also of note in this case is Metroid Prime or Eternal Darkness. I assure you that the GameCube is the CLEAR winner in this case. The closest I've seen on PS2 is MGS3, and having played both. The levels in RE4 can quite often be huge, and often have some complex geometry. The PS2 has but a fraction of the RAM available to the GameCube.

is lucky to even load a codec conversation in MGS. Moving from inside to outside is seamless, and the GameCube has been designed to minimize the effect that this has on gameplay. The GameCube version of the game streams in a lot of data from the disc when navigating through levels. PS2 lacks several things required to make the game really work. Reason being that Resident Evil 4 is a poster child for the true power of the GameCube. I've been saying for months now that the PS2 wouldn't be able to handle the game.
