I was already contemplating it, but now I'm almost sure of it. I was gonna buy a PS2 for MGS3 if it never came out for Xbox, but now I think I might go off and get one just so I can have the Ratchet and Clank series. I was playing Ratchet and Clank 2 today at Best Buy, and I gotta say that I loved it. It was funny, had crazy guns, was chock-full of death and killing and explosions and goofy, over-the-top powerups, and has some cool looking graphics. Sony, you may have won me over.

Are there any other games that I should get for the PS2 that will inevitably be in my future?

Ratchet and Clank: Up your arsenal is the most fun I've had on the PS2 in a while.

Why does everyone act like buying a PlayStation is a crime? It's the same with the GameCube. Just buy one (or both) dammit! As for games, get the Jak Trilogy, along with ICO, its upcoming sequel Wanda and Colossus, and Gran Turismo 4.

Two games you might like that are on Xbox; Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow which is like MGS3 except Pandora Tomorrow is Xbox Live enabled and Conker Live and Reloaded (coming out soon but there is a playable demo of it plus it's also live enabled when it comes out) which is like Ratchet and Clank 2

Oh yeah, Armed and Dangerous for Xbox is also like Ratchet and Clank 2, so maybe you should check that out also.

I have 2 PS2s, 2 Xboxs and a Gamecube. I also have a broken Xbox (had a disc read error and tried to "fix it") and one of my PS2s keeps getting disc read errors. I have to say that my Gamecube is very reliable, and has Pikmin 2. That's all the reason you need, get a Gamecube not a PS2.

man, the PS2 (and the Gamecube) is a highly underrated system. if nothing else games like MGS3 and the Gran Tourismo series. i actually waited a long time to get my xbox because of the lack of really exciting exclusive titles (sorry guys halo 1 wasn't enough to warrant a $300 purchase in my opinion) i didn't buy an xbox until i could get it used for $120. i'd also reccomend a Gamecube if you can afford it though. it's a fun and highly underrated system, plus they're cheap as hell.

Yeah, after I saw RE:4, I'm also thinking about getting a 'Cube. That game looks amazing. But, I'm getting a 'Cube for the new Zelda game, which will rock all sorts of socks off.

That being said, I'm probably not gonna get a PS2 until the summer, when I can work longer hours for more days and therefore increase my cash flow. Plus, I'm gonna need to finish Full Spectrum Warrior, Republic Commando, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory before I start on the rest of the games I wanna play.

But I'm definitely getting a PS2 in the future, for the Ratchet and Clank series and for MGS:3. GTA: SA is coming to Xbox, but I'm not even sure I care about the GTA series enough to wanna buy it.

The 'Cube, though, is kinda weird. Nintendo went downhill after the SNES because they keep pissing off developers with their unhealthy need to be different. As a direct result of the N64, Nintendo doesn't have a very big game library (well, relative to PS2 and Xbox) because most developers don't like making games for Nintendo. So, there isn't much selection of decent games to choose from. Thankfully, they're cheap and SSB:M, MGS: Twin Snakes, and the new Zelda are worth buying a system for. Outside of that, though, I personally don't think there's anything else really that great on the little purple box. An almost complete lack of online games because Nintendo thinks that gamers supposedly "don't want to play on the internet against each other" is not only the second dumbest mistake they've ever made (the first was when they backed out of the PlayStation project at the last possible second, creating a competitor that now dominates the game market), it will be the downfall of the company if they don't change their policy.

But, still, PS2 has some awesome games that I never thought would be good.

¬.¬

Devil May Cry (not no. 2) and Gitaroo Man. if you get a PS2, you need these games.

there are others, but they've either already been mentioned, or i can't remember them right now.

But really now, why buy a PS2 with PS3 coming out within the next several years?
Just wait okay?
It'll be schazzy.

Get a Gamecube because it has Pikmin 2!!!

  • 02.08.2005 3:14 PM PDT

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Gamecube-
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Pikmin 1&2
SSBM
Wind Waker
RE:4
NBA Street Vol. 2
Metroid Prime 1&2

If I were you I'd wait until PS3 comes out. Just a year or so from now I'd bet. I've seen pics of what it might look like and it looks pretty cool.
