For a start, in DC Half-Life, you can move around in the monorail car in the intro - you can't move in the PS2 port. There are minor differences, such as slightly longer loading times on the DC one, but the other differences aren't detrimental to Sega's machine. But upon playing it, I was surprised to see that the DC version is every bit as good.
How does it compare to the Dreamcast port? I was expecting it to be vastly superior if I'm honest, seeing as the PS2 is supposedly much more technically capable and the game benefitted from having a larger team and a longer development/polishing term. What else could that pound coin have gotten me? Half a lottery ticket? A sloppy custard tart in a greasy bag from Greggs? Maybe even a Pot Noodle.although I haven't had one of those delicacies for a while so I'm not sure how much they cost these days. I'd never played the PS2 port though, so when I saw it for £1 in a pawn shop I snapped it up. Regardless, the DC port leaked quite some time ago now - I mentioned that I'd got hold of a copy way back in 2006 - and I've played through the main game and the Blue Shift side story multiple times now. Before anyone jumps down my throat, that's just a rumour I read somewhere and there's (probably) no truth in it. Actually, thinking about it, it was probably to do with Sega pulling support for the system but that isn't as exotic as the report I read that involved Sony paying the publisher a large sum of cash to drop the title. The game was pretty much complete and ready to go, but then it was suddenly cancelled for reasons no-one really understands.
The story surrounding the Dreamcast port of Valve's seminal shooter Half-Life is one that is full of mystery.
