That dude Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 looking for a good game to give for christmas, a platformer or an action/adventure thing. Thanks for advice etc.
Mikey Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 PS2 is a awesome classic system. I've got so many games for that console, must atleast be hitting 100 or more now. What games do you recommend for it?
Zell Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I still need to finish Okami and FFXII. Trouble is the PS2's now in my brother's room as the DVD player.
Melainon Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Err, I think you have misunderstood something. The 60 GB Starter pack (That is, 2 games, 1 extra controller) will continue until sold out, then it will be replaced by 60 GB Value Pack (2 games, no extra controller, lower price). The 40 GB version is just another, lower price, option. Proof here: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=29316
AshMat Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'll probably get the 40gb at some point. (i still only have 1 360 controller, and i've never played an original xbox game on it)
Domstercool Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 What games do you recommend for it? Depends what genres you are into. I like alsorts so I've got a fair amount. Excellent games though are ones like Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, God of War 1/2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Devil May Cry series, Katamari Damacy, If you are looking for certain genres I could recommend you some too.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Here are a few of my favourites. Ratchet and Clank series Jak and Daxter series Onimusha series Devil May Cry series Final Fantasy X The Bouncer Tekken 4-5 Kingdom Hearts 1+2 God of War 1+2 Extermination Shadow of Colossus Under the Skin Monster Hunter ( only if you have online ) Metal Gear 2+3
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Bought and sold, bought and sold, and bought and sold PS2s in the past...But now I am ready to start collecting all the Final Fantasies and other series. But I always like to advance technology-wise...So I am never quite able to want to get a PS2 again but instead look towards a PS3...which has its attractions. So RIP PS2.
chrizkerr2 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 This has angered me so much, I was planning on buying a PS3 in the future, but it seems likes its falsing me to buy one now, or I will miss out on BC (Which is very important for me). Grrr, so damn angry :mad:

Grrr, so damn angry :mad: The BC is very hit and miss on the PS3, some of the big hitting games dont run that well depending on the version game you have. You may aswell get a PS3 40GB pack and pick up a cheap PS2.
Mikey Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I have a PS2, which has barely been used since I got it as a replacement for my last broken PS2, so I guess the bc isn't too much of a loss. I just wanted to be able to play my old games upscaled.

Its more to do with space then anything, Iam not joking when I say I would not have enough room for 4 consoles (Wii, 360, PS3 and then having to have the PS2 out aswell) small room xD I so wish I could trade all my PAL PS2 games for NTSC versions, that way I wouldent think twice about importing a NTSC one (Emotion Chip! Yay!).

That dude Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I recently bought Timesplitters Future Perfect, VERY good games. Perhaps a little easy, but the multipalyer is one of the best on the PS2. Though on the dark levels it's just plain hard to play, which if I was reviewing the game then would take atleast 5% off the score. Making it around 95%... No, perhaps 89-92%? I can't give a proper rating as I've only played up to the pinultimate level. Anyone else got this game? Opinions, etc? Also I'm looking at Star Wars Battlefront 2 as the origional rocks. I'm just annoyed as Renegade Squadron is only on PSP... Darn, I really want a PSP right now. Just surfin' the web and I saw a game called Just Cause, any good?

Just Cause is an alright game but there are far better games out there on the PS2.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 ...Think of me as some incredibly anal stamp collector, then you'll understand why a PS3 with no PS2 backward compatibility is a no-sale for me. £325 is still a mighty price tag, still sold at the highest price yet with inferior capabilities...What the heck is Sony coming to? And I was just about to take my beloved Maestro card out when I heard about the new PS3 lite version - but once again, Sony blows the deal. ...But that White PS3 has caught me in a trance...Now I'm picturing playing MGS4 and FF13 with wireless rumble...And ofcourse getting hooked up to all that Blu ray shite... Jesus...I think I want it now...*_* Something about the sleekness of the white version that gets me. Black looked too ordinary and unattractive, but the white version seems refreshing coupled with the 'DualShock 3'...Loving it... (don't take that in a racial sense)
theguyfromspark Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Ok, so is it worth me getting the 60 gig PS3 so I can play MSG3, FF12, Shadow of the Collosus, ICO and a few others as well as the PS3 games over the next 5 or so years. Or should I save my cash and just get the 40 gig?
Hero-of-Time Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 It really depends on if you must play the PS2 games. If you arent bothered or already have a PS2 then just get the 40 GB. Saying that though if you check gameplay.com out you get 2 games if you get the 60GB for 350 extra and both of them ( Heavenly Sword+Resistance ) and supposed to be great. Well I know Resistance is as I have played that

Loved the demo so i cannot wait for this one!
theguyfromspark Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 decided on the 60gig version with resistance and heavely sword from amazon for 350 quid, makes sense as I'd want those games anyway so this way I get a bigger hard drive and backwards compat for free. I'm still in Canada on holiday though so I won't be able to pick it up until a week on Sunday!
McPhee Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I've stickied this, deserves the same treatment as the other console general discussion threads before it gets shipped off to retro
That dude Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Just Cause is an alright game but there are far better games out there on the PS2. Like? Thanks for stickying this, McPhee
That Guy Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Since Mario Galaxy and PGR4 are the only games I'll be buying this year now I think I'll be playing through Shadow of the Colossus and Okami at last some time towards the end of the year.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Like? Thanks for stickying this, McPhee The list of games I posted on the previous page.
