The moon has correct phases on the consoles but not on the PC - it is either always a full moon or the moon is not visible at all.See below for differences between revisions of the PS2 version, and patches of the Retail and Steam PC versions. This will cover general PlayStation 2 to PC differences, that were present in the first version. Thus the PS2 version has the closest-to-original textures. The PS2 version uses raw bitmaps, meaning it doesn't have any compression artifacts, other than color reduction in some cases since the textures are either 4-bit or 8-bit.The DDS compression used on the textures is ridiculous, and leaves tons of alpha channel artifacts on the Xbox version.As a sidenote, the loading screen on the PS2 version is simply a 30 second timer, whereas on PC and Xbox the loading speed can vary.The Xbox version has a 'LOADING.' string in the bottom right corner that appears whenever the game is - you guessed it - loading.The Xbox version has a Start screen that no other release has.The other ports display them all in full color.
