All I can remember is the GC having the sweetest looking water in games. But I seriously doubt the GameCube could run Halo 2, Dead or Alive, Half Life 2, Forza, Ninja Gaiden, etc. The Xbox was a beast. I must mention here though that RE4 in the GC totally murders the PS2 version graphically. I bought the PS2 version for the extra content but it was a step down from the gorgeous GC version.

The Original Xbox is able to have better shadered water than the Gamecube... But the Gamecube can have better textured water.
However... To be fair, the Gamecube is technically capable of every graphics effect that the Original Xbox is capable of, it just requires additional passes or workarounds in order to achieve it... Which let's face it, generally never happened until the Wii came along anyway and developers had years more to extract from it's similar architecture.

Was the GC documentation even available in english then ? IIRC Nintendo was extremely late to the party when it came to international documentation for devs, which would have made it much easier for western devs to get the full power of the OG Xbox compared to the GC.
Edit : tried to check it out it seems false. My terrible memory at it again, sorry.
