Wasn't Resident Evil hugely pre-rendered? (Edit: no it wasn't, I was thinking of another Resident Evil game on gamecube I think)
Whether the Xbox looks better than the Gamecube really depends on whether the Xbox game you're playing takes full advantage of the Xbox's capabilities.
The pixel shaders on the Xbox allow you to do things you just can't do on the Gamecube. You can't do effects like bumped reflections/refractions on the Gamecube for example, whereas you can on the Xbox. (where an bump-mapped object reflects the environment, or refracts the background realistically, based on its bump-map)
