I was just searchin\' for a good Playstation 2 Web Site... Then I came across this one! It\'s a very nice site, but the thing I liek the most is the Message Boards! I found a great place...

Post by: Faithdies on March 23, 2001, 09:21:47 PM: I see you were looking for a recomendation.
Well.
It depends on what kind of games you like.
If you like RPG\'s:

Summoner(some people dont like it, I love it)

If you like Action\'Adventure:

Dynasty Warriors 2
Onimusha

FPS:

Timesplitters

Strategy:

Ring of Red
Kessen

I dont know much about the fighting sports, or racing games.
So Ill leave those suggestions to those with more experiance.

Post by: ddaryl on March 23, 2001, 09:27:10 PM: Well I strongly recommend you pick up Zone of Enders which includes a 1 level demo copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 and comes out Wednesday in the US and is already out in Europe

I also strongly recommend Onimusha

All 3 are action games that all have some of the best eye candy to date for the PS2

If you tell us what kind of games you like the most we can refine our lists and give you suggestions. Everyone here is quite educated

Post by: Nailbomb on March 23, 2001, 09:56:20 PM: Well, so far Kessen and Oni have looked cool to me. I\'m not really into the Doom type games, sports games, or fighting games. I like RPG\'s and Action games. Yeah, Onimusha looks cool. I like games that have levels and whatnot; I like adeventure.

Also, are the old Playstation games still cool and normal looking threw the PS2? I just bought mine and have no games! :) Do DVD\'s look great and go smoothly?

Thanks!

Post by: Faithdies on March 23, 2001, 10:01:54 PM: A good RPG is Summoner.
If you like action games with levels you should try out Dynasty Warriors 2.
That game is supremely cool.
Each level takes like 45 minutes.
If you have read any reviews about the game being montonous, dont believe them.
There are quite a few people on this forum who will attest to this game being awesome.
Also, defiantly look into Onimusha.
It is also very good.

Post by: ddaryl on March 23, 2001, 10:08:04 PM: Onimusha is a riot

Zone of Enders and MGS2 demo is out next week and is a must have IMO

the Summonewr is a good RPG with a great story, has some bugs in it and is not perfect technically but still fun for an RPG fan. I really enjoyed it

Starwars Starfighter was also a blast

ATV Offroad Fury was a cool renter

and SSX is another awesome PS2 title

PS1 games on the PS2 may have slight improvements but overall there still PS1 games. SOny may update those drivers in the future

DVD player works great and compares to any mid range DVD player on the markewt in quality

I shall wait for your posts in great anticipation - you don\'t seem like a fanboy.

There\'s too many great games coming out to ps2, don\'t you agree? I would like to work my own money out so I would buy as many games per year as I would want. But I can\'t, and that\'s the cold truth.

Post by: RichG on March 24, 2001, 03:56:14 AM: Welcome to the forum...

I would go for...

RPG - None yet, unless you want to get FFXI PS1 game to play on your PS2.

Fighting - Tekken Tag.

Adventure - Onimusha.

Sport - SSX is meant to be ace but I never really liked it due to the awful slow down throughout the game.

FPS - Timesplitters is meant to be good, but its not long until Red Faction comes out which should be ace.

I don\'t really rate the launch titles as such, but now the good titles are appearing, i would go for onimusha :)

Richard.
