I've played and own all 3 games on Xbox and started playing them again on GOG.
The PC versions are superior but I noticed that PC versions have water effect very similar to the PS2 version.
The Xbox versions have a superior water shader believe it or not. The water is fully tessellated and has actual waves and ripples when your character walks though it. It's very impressive for that generation of games. The other versions (including PC) just use a wave textures to create that effect. I wonder why they didn't base the PC version on the XBox version. For water effects, I think Xbox version is the best, followed by Gamecube, PS2, and then PC (It's slightly toned down version of the PS2 water).
