I saw the XBox version and I can tell you that the game looks identicle on GC and XBox.
I read on a message board on Gamefaqs that the GC version has more animals to take pictures of but dont bet on it. Like Big Guy said, the GC controller beats the piss out of the XBox controller(s) but the GC one is really hard to find. Ryan had to pick it up for me in his homeland.
Here's a mini review to give you an idea of the game: *ahem*
Take Starfox Adventures, make it not rushed with boring parts. Add the ability to use a camera in gameplay and for liesure. Give it some awesome puzzles and riddles to solve and have an 'Overworld/underworld' topography where you use a hovercraft to traverse a vast planet. Tons of mini games, high exploration, great story (and presentation) with very little replay value once you've completed the 100% run. Sound effects are usually well designed and well placed (5.1 too), music is some of the best quality you have ever heard in a game (lots of vocal, orchestra, MIDI and samples) with A+ voice acting (which is sometimes cut-off if you trigger the 'loading' screen when entering a new area, gets annoying but feh, it's still top-notch stuff).
Shooting, racing, fighting, flying, puzzle solving, exploration character-driven plot with purdy graphics to boot. Beyond Good and Evil is the biggest sleeper of this gen; definitely worth your time.
