I played so much Shenmue at my friends and I was less than impressed, Capcom Vs SNK, those fighting games are all the same, Phantasy Star online i played with my friend, it was alright but far from great like most people say, the only good RE was the first one, another fighting game, all the same, House of the dead got real old in the arcade, same old ****, another same old fighting street fighter, I would play Red Faction over any of those, same with TMB and GT3
Shenmue - Is simply the most original game in along time for the consoles.
Capcom Vs Snk -Is not like every other fighting game. If you gave it enough time to actually learn the depth of the game, you would realize the Street Fighter series is simply huge and immersive.
Phantasy Star Online - which offline was rather dull , it was a blast online.
Resident Evil : Code Veronica - Surpassed the first one in almost everyway. The only way it could of been better, is if there was less ammo.
House of the Dead 2 - The only problem with it was the lack of a light gun.
As for Red Fraction and Twisted Metal: Black. Sure they are both good games, but how long did it take the PS2 to get these quality games? The Dreamcast had excellent titles from the start and is still comin\' out with more titles even though its "dead".
Sonic Adventure and PSO are the only two games that I would but a DC for.
And I don\'t like spending $245+ for two games, not even $195+, when the DC price drops.
$245 = console + extra controller + mem card + both games
I could almost get 5 PS2 games for that!
Too bad there isn\'t five PS2 games worth owning, yet.
(note that I said "yet". In a few months it will be alot different. Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill, Virtua Fighter 4 and others.)
