Title: Mario Kart, but for PS2
Post by: videoholic on February 12, 2004, 12:00:20 PM: Is there a game like Mario Kart, but for the PS2?

I would like to get an animated fun driving game for Logan. He plays GT3, but I want something more fun.

I\'ve come to realize there are very few kids games for the PS2. They seem to all be for the Gamecube.

Never played it, just heard that it was similar to Mario Kart, though of course not as good.

If all he plays is one system he may grow up to be prejudiced, a fanboy! :eek:

Mario Kart DD with 2-4 people is a riot, totally worth the GC price alone.

Then you can get games like Mario Party, Kirby\'s Air Ride, and Super Smash Bros. for more multiplayer goodness!

Post by: Heretic on February 14, 2004, 03:36:08 PM: I\'m amazed at how well the graphics of CTR hold up for a last gen game. If it\'s not part of your collection already, it\'s a very low priced solution.

Post by: videoholic on February 14, 2004, 04:43:43 PM: I would, but he probably won\'t be really into video games until the next gen. HE can wait another year or so.

Post by: PSX_J on February 14, 2004, 08:14:07 PM: I agree, get him a Gamecube. I bought one recently and rented MK: DD for it. Some of the most sensless fun you\'ll ever have. Just get Donkey Kong and Diddy, set big arse bannanas all over the place and your sure to drive your pals nuts.

Totally agree... but if you\'re looking for more mature games later on then you will need to stick to your PS2 (GC has MG:TS coming but nothing else really), but as stated, GC kicks ass in multiplayer mayhem.
