Shortly after Christmas, I will seriously be considering buying a PS2, need a few pointers, etc:

Are they any good?
Are the Games any good?

Also any problems people may have had with them

Cheers

yes
yes

The PS2 is ****ing great!, the games that have come out over the last couple of months and the games that are still to be released in the coming months look awseome (sp). Some early models of ps2 had problems reading some disks but that should be all fixed up in the new models so you will be fine. I HIGHLY recomend you get a PS2 ASAP . Your social life will never be the same again :)

Ps2 is definately a good buy you wont regret. All games lean has mentioned are great cept a few IMO, but dont let that cloud your thoughts.
Dont forget to buy a memory card. ;)

Lean and mean summed it up nicely. :)

I think Tekken Tag, Resident Evil: CV and Silent Hill 2 are worth adding in the list though.

I\'d still recommned people rent this one first

but SSX Tricky, NBA Street, Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid 2, Gran Turismo 3, Ico, Jak and Daxter are all good buys

When people are getting a PS2, I recommend Metal Gear Solid 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3.  SSX Tricky is great, too.  

And I always thought Dynasty Warriors was cool.  That was a launch title...

This is kinda silly don\'tcha think? Coming to PS2 Forums, asking us this?

What do you think we\'re gonna say, "NO THEY SUCK! PS2 SUX! WHAT THE HELL ARE WE HERE FOR!?! LET\'S HAUL ASS!"

Cheers.

Well maybe but most of us are able to give him a unbiased answer.

Well it\'s better he came and asked what games are good instead of going out and wasting all his money

For starters, get Dynasty Warriors 3. It\'s a good game that you can pick up and play and it has two player mode too!

Another is Ace Combat 4. Not too complex as far as controls are concerned.

Gran Turismo 3. Best game of the year. Learning curve is high although the controls are rather easy to learn. NOTE : this is a driving simulator. Not exactly something easy for youngsters.
