The reviews for NCAA Football 06 are starting to pop up. Xbox.IGN (http://xbox.ign.com/) has posted their review (http://xbox.ign.com/articles/632/632759p1.html) of NCAA Football 06 and have given it a 9.2 out 10 while Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/) has given it (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/sports/ncaafootball2006/index.html) a 8.8 out of 10.
Here's a bit from the Gamespot review regarding the differences between the PS2 and Xbox versions.
...the PS2 version has superior control over the Xbox version because all the buttons are more easily reachable...However, the PS2 version of the game suffers from really long load times for menus, as well as when simulating weeks during the dynasty and race for the Heisman modes. The Xbox loads and simulates many times faster, so if you envision yourself spending a lot of time in the career modes, you may want to consider the Xbox version, even with its control issues. Finally, the PS2 version does suffer from slowdown in some circumstances. The frame rate drop seems to happen the most on kickoff returns and other low-angle situations, but in general, it's not nearly the big problem that the Xbox slowdowns were on last year's game. It's difficult for us to determine which version is better, so deciding between faster load times and slicker in-game controls is likely to be a more personal decision.
Anyone go out and get this yesterday? I'll find out for myself tonight if these reviews are even close to the mark.
