I've been wondering this for a while now, but I haven't come across somebody who's been able to confirm it for me. I'm trying to figure out which version of these games are ultimately the most... um, let's go with "complete".

As many of you are probably aware, the PS2 versions of these (Heroes/Riders/Shadow) games aren't exactly the best. Let's just ignore the Xbox for a minute, and say that the GameCube versions are the best graphically. The PS2 versions however, allow you to use Japanese voices, unlike the GameCube versions. So, that brings me to my question.

If you mashed those together, you think you'd get the Xbox version, right? Storage space and voice options of the PS2, but graphics of the GC. Problem is, nobody I've talked to can confirm this, and I don't own the Xbox versions of any of these games (only PS2 and GC) to check for myself.

For reference, it looks like this on the PS2:


In any other version (Except the Xbox version because I can't confirm that ), the "Sound" option isn't there. PC included, as it was distributed on two CD-ROMs.

So, can somebody who has an Xbox (or Xbox compatible 360) and one of these games take a look at the options and tell me what's there? If there are no language options, it may be a matter of changing the console's system language, so try that too!... please ;_;

Although that would just confirm the language side of things. I'm also wondering whether all of the graphical traits from the GameCube versions made it over. For instance, in the sand whatever level in Riders, there's a distortion effect over the screen to simulate the heat. It's right at the start of the level, just past the archway leading outside. It's not present in the PS2 version, and I can't confirm for the PC version, as I don't have it. If somebody could confirm that too, that'd be great (more specifically for the Xbox version).

I remember back on CulT that Ryoga said you had to change your Xbox's reigon to Japanese to hear the voices that way. Don't know if he had to hack his or not though as I don't own an original Xbox.

Yeah that's right, you needed to change the console's language settings for Heroes and Shadow to hear the Japanese voices. Not sure about Riders, but it's probably the same. I remember being upset about the GCN versions' lack of voice options, since I was all KAWAIIBAKABAKABAKA in my later teens, and...thank god I outgrew that.

So to clarify, does this mean you can't mix and match the language options in the Xbox versions? (I.e Japanese text, English audio and vice versa.) Additionally, are the language options not present in the normal game options?
