The lighting in lots of ps2 games is lacking so they look dull, lots of the textures are muddy, lots of games are very colorless, lots of games are interlaced so they look rough and never clear as they should look.
Dreamcast had more colorful games, gc had better lighting and some shaders to keep textures from looking so flat and the xbox basically had lots of direct x features that made games look shinny and crisp.
You can spot a ps2 game from a line up of random games from that gen when you see drab, muddy textures, interlaced image and nearly monochrome colors. Some games made it work by working with the style but others just look dull.
Talented devs were able to get past this but most did not.
