PS2 for Youth Club


antster1983

Recommended Posts

I have been asked at the local youth club where I help out to look at buying a PS2 to replace the ageing PSone they have. I was wondering what the best games would be for this situation - the club has boys and girls aged between 10-15 years of age. They should be multiplayer and offer decent replay value.

 

If any of you can help I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions. :smile:

Smash bros would give the kids loads of fun but on the ps2, maybe SSX TRicky, thats pretty fun in mulitplayer. Gran Turismo. Well thats basically the mulitplayer games my brother has got on his ps2. Maybe some sports games like Fifa or Pro Evo. Maybe Madden NFL 07.

Yeah, the PS2 doesn't have a lot of multiplayer games and even then it's restricted by the two controller ports.

 

Unrelated, but your signature quote is awesome.

Get an Xbox, teenagers love Halo and Tony Hawks games, sorted.

 

I second that notion.

Though a Cube with Smash Bros. and TSFP would be good too-Timesplitters has the worlds best mapmaker (thats on a ratio of ease of use:flexibility, before the PC-game modders come and flame me.)

Farcry mapmaker > Timesplitters mapmaker.

 

Point taken, but I'm more experienced with the TS one, and you can't have bots in FarCry, which make it a bit more interesting offline.

 

On a side note: wow, my Firefox didn't know the word "offline"...

I find the problem with the ps2 is having to go out of your way to play multiplayer with more than two people. The burnout series is quite fun. Maybe have a look at trying to get super monkey ball since that always has great party games included.

Anster: Will you looking into purchasing a multi-tap for four player games? Or, is it strictly 2 player games we're looking at?

 

Fierce_LiNk, A multitap is indeed a possibility.

 

They want a PS2, as that is what they have explicity asked for. They have said they wanted something to complement my Wii. Besides, they have dancemats which they have used on the PSone.

 

Regarding rokhed00, no I don't think I'll be buying anything related to that Terrible Tadpole. If the PS2 thing goes ahead I'll be the one buying the games.

Ok, so a multitap is a possibility, eh? I can't name that many 4 player games, but there should be some cool party games.

 

Off the top of my head:

 

Tekken Tag Tournament (for a fighter)

Pro Evo something (everyone loves footie games)

GT3

One of the gtas. They're want to kill anything that moves. :p

Maybe one of the WWE games? 4 players, that'd be a blast.

Any platformers? I think they can be a bit of fun for people to play. Take it in turns to play a bit each. They'd love that. Rayman? Jak and daxter?

 

For platformers, here is few choices with that you can't really go wrong:

* Sly Cooper series

* Jak & Dakter series

* Ratchet & Clank series

* Rayman 2 & 3

 

For multiplayer experience:

* Crash Nitro Kart (poor single player, but terrific with four players)

* Timesplitters 2

* Pro Evolution Soccer

* Tekken Tag Tournament

* Smackdown vs. Raw

 

For dance mats:

* Dancing Stage Fusion

* Dancing Stage Max (Warning: It's really bitch to unlock songs)

Good list, imo.

 

Not really sure how I can add to that. Maybe one of the SSX games, tricky for example. I enjoyed that, and its a pretty cool game to just pick up and play. Maybe a Tony Hawks title, too?
