I got both ps1 and ps2 as christmas presents, but I wont be adding any new systems to my collection. ps2 has been a huge let down, I guess from the performance boost I was expecting more out of it.. bad idea.
I cant really give a review of the PS2 because alone it doesnt do anything alone, so heres my reviews from the games Ive played on it..
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X - Same damn thing as PS1 resident evil series, with better graphics. Actually, this game is worse than those games because the now moving,"fixed camera angels" leaves you running into stuff(like zombies) blind because you cant see whats in front of you.
Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty - Same damn thing as MSG on PS1! Not a,"Bad" game, but I expected some kind of upgrade, Complete letdown! First person shooter mode was easily possible in mgs1, they just didnt want/thing to add it. Again, it all went to graphics.
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness - I expected SO MUCH from this game and its been the biggest letdown of them all! It was so bad I just up and stopped playing it. Ive played through and beaten 1,2,3 lost revelation, and chronicles, and the first 3 were great, revelation wasnt great.. chronicles had abug that left me searching the level for like 5 - 6 hours till I gave up and restarted all because I did,"too good" on a level.. but I loved the series, this game was supposed to be great.. it was a great letdown.
I couldnt recommend PS2 to anyone who didnt like RPGs, because RPG games were the only ones I found to be good..
Final Fantasy 10 - Good game, voice acting sucked, movie sequences could have been better.
Final Fantasy 10-2 - Cheesy describes this best. I felt I was playing a game made for 7yo girls.. voice acting still sucked, movie sequences were GOD AWFUL- let me elaborate. Their teeth were solid pieces and like 1/3 inch thick. The people were all obviously Japanese(Eyes, and nose), and painted over to look caucasian.. Looked bad. Plus their mouths didnt match the english words, like an old chinese movie.
Aside from those flaws, the game was great. I spent all today replaying it just because I found out the ending I saw was incomplete, and That you can get Tidus to come back
Made the game worth playing- and the in game high poly models used in alot of the scenes were great as well.
Xenosaga, Espisode I: Der Wille Zur Macht- Really good game. The series is supposed to span multiple systems, and take 10 years to finish.. later episodes may end up sucking, but I hope not.. Anyways, this one was good!(IMO.. but arent all reviews?)
Final Fantasy 12 is supposed to suck, and FF13 isnt looking to promising from where Im standing.. Anyways, those are all the games Ive played on ps2, Ive heard alot of other people love it, but I dont see me buying anymore games for it.
Im avoiding games for the most part now, but any new games I play will all be PC.
Madden, another Killer game!!!
