I'm not answering this...I regged at a gaming forum (IGN Boards) before my music addiction surpassed my gaming addiction (which is now very small). Threads like this were like Southern Sun threads in the Music Discussion forum...people would start flaming, stupid fanboys saying "pS2 rocks!!1!1!111!! GAY-cube is for kiddies!!" and "Gamecube is the best! Its all about the fun in games!!". Both are quite ignorant and stupid. I used to be pro-Nintendo, but then I sat down with the PSX for a while, and realized there's some really good shit on it. Right now, I could easily argue both ways, PS2 is better/GC is better.
It really boils down to the games you prefer. And, this is why I'm not buying any more consoles, cause I like games on all 3 consoles (xbox included). PlayStation 2 has its share of really good games. Gamecube, although doesn't have as many good titles, it will have lots by years end. Xbox, has a few, and really, this is the only console I would easily label as 3rd best.
As for technical things, such as graphics and sound. Well, depends really on the developer, and how well they know the console. Theoretically, GC and Xbox are the 2 most powerful, equally. But, look at MGS2 for PS2, for example. It looks better than majority of GC's games (Rogue Leader and RE 1 are the only 2 that smoke it, in terms of gfx). As for sound...boils right back down to the developer. And the controller...the GC wins hands down.
Oh, and the names are single words: Gamecube and PlayStation, not Game Cube and Play Station 2  
Good titles both consloes are, in my opinion:
PlayStation 2:
- Metal Gear Solid 2
- Silent Hill 2
- Grand Theft Auto 3
- Gran Turismo 3
- Final Fantasy 10 and 11
- Virtua Figher 4
Gamecube:
- Rogue Leader
- Resident Evil series (coming soon )
- Eternal Darkness
- new Zelda
- Too Human
- Perfect Dark 0/2 (whatever it turns out to be called)
- Conkers Other Bad Day
- Metroid Prime
A bunch of those aren't out yet, and even unannounced...but they're coming, and they will be HUGE.
I know there's some titles that I forgot to mention, simply because I'm out of the gaming loop right now.

i think the PS2 has better graphics.. most of the GC games as soo 'comicy' if you know what i mean.. the way it looks is like a cartoon |
Ok, these types of comments would get you a massive amount of flames...simply becuase, it does seem like an ignorant comment. But, I know what you mean and, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the consoles power, but the style that the artists use. Just like those RE1 screenshots you've witnessed...graphic STYLE has nothing to do with the system power. They can go for a realistic look, or a more "cartoony" look as you put it (otherwise known as cel-shading)...and as for Rogue Leader...man, for a game that came out with the system, it looks damn good, don't you think?
And here's some nicer screens of Rogue Leader
Edit: I just read over all the posts, and, one thing I would like to mention. In Rogue Leader, all the 3d looking stuff (check out that pic of the AT-AT's Biz posted), thats all geometry. Its not a 3d model with simple textures. All the indentations in the legs, head, gun...its all 3D geometry.
