Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.

It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I love the PC version, but the PS2 version--despite looking a lot worse--feels more like a finished game. There are things like elevators that don't exist in the PC version, cutscenes don't cut off dialog before it's finished, and the UI is overall more polished.

Holy shit, I have not heard that name in many years. Definitely a +1 for reminding me of all the fun I used to have in this title

Oh man, I loved this game. I didn't know this about the PS2 version.
