give me some ps2 advise plz
« on: July 06, 2001, 03:49:04 PM »
greetings all

my last console was an atari about 20 yrs ago,
been a pc gamer since then, but pc games suck lately, so i\'m thinking of snagging a ps2.

can you guys tell me the must-have PS games?
i understand ps2 can run ps1 too, so include those too

my main interest is RPG, also like platform games and shooters;

i don\'t like sports, racing, or street-fighters, don\'t need FPS, get that from my PC well enough

TIA

The best game for the ps1 is Metal Gear Solid. It is a must have and I think that youll love it. Also Medal of Honor1 and 2 are awsome as well.(but theyreFPS\'s).Driver 2 is good and Gran Turismo 2 Kicks @ss. Check theese out theyre all great games.

My suggestion to you is too stay away from the PS2 and take a look at the XBOX, or even the GC.

In your opinion it will. Not everyone likes sim\'s. Also it will be interesting to see what Sega will do with Sega GT2

Well coming from a none fanboy point of view I would say wait til xbox and gamecube are getting ready to launch. Then you can see the games coming out on ps2,gc, and xbox. Then decide which one you want. Now it would too early to decide.

Nintendo would have all the platformers you could EVER ask for. If you want those, thats the console you want. RPGs aren\'t very common yet but NGC should get FFXI, but don\'t garentee on that. Since he is a PC gamer, he can get MGS on the PC which has much better graphics and improves the gameplay. There is no reason to get it on the PS2 or PS1 for that matter. MGS2 will only come out on the PS2, but I didn\'t find it very fun at all in MGS, too much FMV and just fighting bosses. If you like stealth games you would want MGS2 but if you just like the run in and blow everything up types then you would probably not like it.

Get a PS2.  The GC and XBox will be here for 5 more years.  There is really no need for him to get them at launch.  He can just wait and get them when they really start to get great (2nd/3rd gen games).

For PS1 games I recommend:

Metal Gear Solid
Ape Escape
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Silent Hill
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy Chronicles
Xenogears
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy Tactics
Grandia
Metal Slug X
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
Tenchu 2: Birth of The Assassins
Vagrant Story
Dance Dance Revolution
Crash Bandicoot
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
Legend of Mana


For PS2:

Red Faction
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain 2
Jak and Daxter
Onimusha: Warlords
Metal Gear Solid 2: Son’s of Liberty
Devil May Cry
Final Fantasy 10
Twisted Metal: Black
XenoSaga
NBA Street
Silent Hill 2
Tekken 4
Virtua Fighter 4
It seems as if the people [casual gamers] that we consider to know absolutely nothing are the ones that actually know the most important thing: Name brands don\'t make the console, games do.

Nah man, XBOX is cool, all-in-all he\'s pretty levelheaded and evenhanded. He\'s definitely not a fanboy. TheOGodlyThing, on the other hand... asking him what PS2 game is best is like asking Hitler who his favorite Jews are.
