Does the PS2 live up to your expectations?

agreed, its like with psx

there are so many games out that 75% is ****, but with every pile of ****ty games there come some gems worth picking up

I\'m sure it will happen to ps2 eventually, so many games have been announced, I\'m looking foward to MGS2, ZOE, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, GT3 and all of namco\'s fighting/racing games

When I first bought the thing a week after the original launch I was impressed, mainly because Madden and SSX were so good.  Now, not really.  I haven\'t used it in a week.  The reason?  No game has come out since then that is worth buying.  Hopefully after March my opinion will change.  That\'s if they don\'t move the release dates back even more.

Well, I have the same problem ( I don\'t know if it\'s the small amount of free-time I usually have but... ); I don\'t play the PS2 much.

But I can\'t say I wasn\'t impressed

Rayman Revolution is worth buying IMO

ATV: Offroad fury has received some high ratings and is out today

I spend more time posting at these forums than I spend playing my ps2, and i think most of you here do the same!

I post from work, when I\'m home I playing rayman

Rayman Revolution is the most impressive PS2-game so far!!!

I mean. I forgot. That\'s the game I\'ve been playing ( for approx. 15 hours now ) for most, and of course timesplitters is always good with friends ( I\'ve played it for 1 day and 5 hours; 29 hours now that is )...

So, I was impressed by Rayman Revolution. It reveals a bit of the true power behind PS2, and it has beautiful levels and very good music along good playability.

Only thing that bothers me is sometimes bad camera-angles, but overally the game\'s an experience not to miss by PS2-gamer...

No, but games like Timesplitters and SSX are examples of how much fun you can have on your PS2. IMO, after these titles there\'s really nothing else worth playing and to tell you the truth I\'m really getting tired of it. All I got to say is that this wait better damn well be worth it!

Am I the only one who thinks Rayman Revolution looks the same (graphics wise) as the DC version? I mean, what am I missing? I have a decent tv, and s-video for both systems, and I dont see a difference. I even taped a few seconds of each to look immediatly between the 2, nothing. PS2 had better lighting, DC had better looking textures. Well, If you dont have a DC, enjoy, but if you do, Rayman 2\'s only $20 brand new...

Yes? No? Er, not quite. There hasn\'t yet been one ground breaking game that manages to run chills down your spine for the sheer brilliance of it. But I\'ve had bucketloads of fun though.

Next stop : March. Till then I\'ll be happy playing with my brand spanking new N64

Well at least you all are being honest which is good.  I have to give you props for the non-fanboy part.  Reality sinks in I guess..

ABSOLUTLY NOT!
Not even close.
MOST of the games blow, too much slowdown.
A lot of the systems are defective.
I expected WAY more from sony.
I will be trading mine in, in the fall (if you know what I mean)

chata...... chata f**k up!,   what did you expect man, i  give it a gigantic thumbs up, i got everything i wanted, infact i was braging about it in school and i told them how i clean it every day, they were like, you like it that much, and i said, if you waited in line for 5 hours and paid 400 al toether for a bomb ass revolutionary gaming console, wouldnt you take very good care of it, ok i straye off, i say yes yes yes [/B]

You can\'t tell him to shut up just because you have a different opinion. :rolleyes:

 [/B]

ell soul reaver, that was my opinion, i wasnt putting a gun to his head asked him to shut up, he doesnt have to, of course he doesnt have to, he already replied and this is my reply to him, ok cool i didnt mean it to come out that bad, i was mad that day

Certainly lives up to my expectations. The graphics are, in fact, even better than I expected. I have been nothing less than impressed with the PS2, even though I still don\'t own one. There\'s none here where I live. All PS2games that I have seen in action have been sweet graphics-wise, especially SSX, which totally blew me away. And when it comes to jaggies, well, I don\'t see em, so I don\'t care. The only letdown is the lack of very good games, as I had already gotten the impression that there\'d be tons of brilliant buyingworthy games from the day of the launch. But I don\'t care cause I couldn\'t buy them anyway.
