It depends on your PC's specs as well of course. I had SA running, but
looking a bit rubbish on my old graphics cars, so I shelled out for a new
one and now it looks great. If I bought a high-end graphics card, new
processor and loads of memory, it would doubtless look better still.

I suppose the PS2 advantage is that you just buy the game and you know it's
going to run as it was meant to. Us PC folk sometimes have to embark on a
bit of upgrading.

I wouldn't swap my PC for a PS2 in a million years, regardless.

I do notice moire sometimes, for example:

It only happens on objects a long way away, and only in 16-bit colour
depth. 32-bit colour depth is too slow though, and in my opinion
doesn't actually look as good for some reason that I can't quite put my
finger on. I think everything looks like it's made of soft plastic.

I don't think any of these problems get in the way though.
