I don't play NFS:U on PS2, but rather on the PC. My friend has it on Xbox and PS2, so I might see how it plays on the PS2 (connecting to EA servers online, through the PS2 Network Adapter). I've played a few times on EA Servers but I don't really like Underground. I thought Hot Pursuit 2 was definately one the better NFS titles.

like P_M said moh: rising sun adn socom are two great games on ps2 esp if ur looking to play online games.

also metal gear solid 2: sons of liberty is a greeat game to buy, as well as mortal kombat: deadly alliance, hitman 2

ive also been recomended .hack volume 1, unlimited saga, true crimes streets of la, max payne 2, XIII (thirteen), and midnight club 2. but there is a ton of good games on ps2, depends on ur tastes and what u like. dont just take our words for it

 

[elizabethy]

vice city.....ne one has it????

 

[Huss]

i have it on computer...it sux in my opinion

 

[Newbie]

is .hack out on PAL?

anyone know if xenosaga is too?


you reckon midnight club is better than nfsu?


thanx huy, kingdom hearts and soul calibur2 are must gets

 

[Huy]

Xenosaga - No. It has been announced, but only for the European release, nothing about the Australian release AFAIK.

Other upcoming titles: Final Fantasy XI, Zone of the Enders 2.

I forgot to mention the Metal Gear Solid series, Sons of Liberty and Substance for the PS2, if you're into action/adventure types (stealth/military game)

If you enjoy an arcade style, fast-paced racing game, then yes. Some don't like the graphics, but I like them.

It's not very "smooth" but rather looks hand-drawn and much like the vector drawings you see on the Internet. Whenever you brake or drift around the corners, you'll see your vehicle/car seemingly "speed up" because of the wind - it looks cool (in my opinion).

I'm not sure what kind of racer/driver you are, or the racing games you like to play, but don't expect a Gran Turismo.

You can find more reviews (and pictures) on the Internet though, Huss. I would recommend it, since it's "my kind of game" - but others don't like it, it depends on you I guess.

Yes, like Daytona, but more "child-like" (what I like to call: 'cartoony' even Disney).

It's a good game, and $40 is worth it! Considering I spent about $100 on it (I didn't pre-order this game, but got it when it came out on PS2, I have a friend who works at EB).

 

[Huss]

whoa...well i dont mind cell shaded graphics as long as the gameplay is good, i think ill pick it up soon

I think you'll enjoy it.

The US release (NTSC) of FFX-2 has already been out, it's more of a "moulin rouge meets final fantasy" game.

There's too much singing and dancing!

It's entertaining though, compared to FFX.

 

[Huy]

Ren, yes.

I am staring at it in the face.

Way to ruin it for people, about Yuna. (though I already knew, so I didn't care if you told people or not).

I recognised your avatar, but thanks for reminding me - I can be a little slow.


The english one came out on:

*give me a sec*

the 18th of November, last month - ONE MONTH AGO.
