Slimline Playstation 2

Advantages: Small, Lightweight, Looks nice, Cheap , Watch movies, loads of games, online gameplay
Disadvantages: Can break easily, Only 2 controllers,

...The ps2 is a great console although it is almost10 years old. It has alot of features that anyone can use with ease. On it you can watch Movies, Play games and also play online with people around the world providing that you can internet access on it. there are a wide variety of games available for it and they are also quite cheap. The playstation itself can come quite cheap with prices starting at £40 in some shops. You might also want to get some accessories for it such as the vertical stand, the eyetoy camera and the DVD remote if you want one. The only bad points about the playstation i would say are the fact that it is quite fragile and would break easily....

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

HAS THE PLAYSTATION 2 BEEN ON THE ATKINS DIET!

Advantages: Smaller, quieter, sleaker
Disadvantages: Two controllers instead of one would be nice

...Maybe I?m showing my age here, but I remember one of the first games consoles there was, the Atari 2600, complete with its wood effect case and cartridge games! Since those bygone days many consoles have come and gone with battles being thought between the likes of Sega and Nintendo to be top dog in the world of video gaming. All that has passed before though is the mere under-card to the battle royal being fought here and now between Sony and Microsoft to be the undisputed king in the eyes of the joypad waggling generation with their Playstation 2 and Xbox consoles. When faced with the choice of buying one or t`other I came to the conclusion that although the Xbox was superior in graphics and potential exclusive games the PS2 was the only choice for the shear size of the back catalogue of games and strong support from third party...

Sony Playstation 2 - Slimline : 'Gaming Giant'

Advantages: Sleek design I no fan : much quieter I No power back switch I Affordable I Wide range of games I
Disadvantages: The lid where you put the games could be stronger

...The Playstation 2 has sold in excess of over 100 million consoles since it was released back in 2000. When orginally released the Playstation 2 was much larger in size than the slimline version which Sony released in 2004. I am going to look into what are the benefits of the new system and look at the good and bad features. Good Features The Slimline Playstation 2 is much quieter than the original console because it simply looks much better, the slim design is better on the eye and also it is less noisy as the console does not have a fan. Instead it uses air vents to keep the console cool. It does the job to be honest because I owned the console for over 2 years and it has never crashed or overheated. The load times of the new console seems to me a little quicker than the original console. This is a main plus factor because you want...

Rugger action hits PS2

Advantages: Well its rugby, it the only rugby game for any next gen cosole (so far) and its good
Disadvantages: Old squads, graphics are a bit shabby

...At last the real 'mans sport' has hit PS2, rugby is the best sport in the world and its for big hard men, are you hard enough to go a few phases with Lomu and the all blacks, well find out in the best rugby sim ever to hit the gaming market!!! As soon as i seen this game in a magazine nearly a good year ago i thought wow! This game looked better than Jhona Lomu rugby and looked just as good as Fifa! Now its hit the shelves like the England pack hitting the rucks and mauls! Oh yes this is the greatest rugby game ever made with the best graphics ever seen on a rugby game! Although the graphics aren't great, they look like a very smooth version of FIFA. If you like rugby you will love this. The game has regonisable players, quite an easy control system, and an easy to get used to push and dig system when in a ruck,maul or scrum...

Review of Rugby (PS2)

One of the greatest games PS2 games out there!!!

Advantages: Open gameplay/Original missions/Side missions/Fun is the emphasis of the gameplay here
Disadvantages: To complete fully is very difficult indeed.

...Introduction: Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA3) was released in October 2001originally in North America and Europe. This was genuinely a game which people bought a PlayStation 2 just to experience. It really is that impressive and still to this day is an absolute must have if you enjoy computer games. The review will take account of the PAL version of this game. Why is this game still great? It has stood the test of time as all classic games do. Others have tried to compete and just not been near it. For instance Driver 3 failed big time (annoying gameplay and glitches) as did The Getaway (flawed, felt rushed) and True Crime: Streets of LA (not nearly as fun as GTA). Storyline: ***Spoilers*** The game takes place in Liberty City and we play with a character who we do not know the name of. You are betrayed at the beginning of the title...

PS/2 Slimline a real tonic from Sony

Advantages: small and sexy
Disadvantages: is it a fragile kitten

...the inboard power supply cool - that was the worst feature of the PS/2 over the PSOne in my book anyway. On the down side, the disc lid and the eject and power buttons all feel very flimsy and to properly switch the machine off you have to remove the AC lead from the back of the machine - I'm not a fan of leaving appliances on stand-by - anal I know, but remember I'm an old git of 44!!. I hope I'm wrong but I get the feeling this size and weight challenged PS/2 isn't going to be nearly as robust as the earlier model and I'd be concerned about letting small children near it. OK, so if you're not familiar with any PS/2 what can you expect? Games are backward compatible to the PSOne. Graphics obviously are dependant on the game you are playing, but on the whole they are adequate rather than good or brilliant in my experience, there...

Eragon (PS2)

Advantages: Good combat system, good gameplay, good graphics
Disadvantages: Linear storyline, too easy, too quick to complete.

.../5 NON-COMBAT GAMPLAY When you are not fighting enemies, there is area magic to keep you entertained, gates to get through, guards to get past and you can even fly as saphira (the dragon) in some levels. 5/5 GRAPHICS The graphics to this game are quite good, the characters look realistic and clear and the dragon also moves and looks realistic. The enemies from the film have been well replicated. 5/5 SOUND The sound effects to this game were very realistic and each action had it's own unique sound effect. There was music where necessary and silence when its was called for. An outstanding sound track. 5/5 DIFFICULTY AND COMPLEXITY This is where this game fails, it is far too easy, even on the hardest diffuculty you can easily complete it within a week or less. 2/5 LONGEVITY As i have said, the game is too easy so you will...

The Unquestionable Good of PS2 Football Games

Advantages: Gameplay, Graphics & Licences
Disadvantages: Referees & Japanese Techno

...Do you remember a day when the Spice Girls were good looking, Labour was trustworthy and you could bludgeon someone to death with your mobile phone. These were the days when Electronic Arts ruled the Football genre. The FIFA series was at its height of popularity, with better licences and graphics than all rivals. This dictatorship like domination was similar to the Soviet Union, and it looked like the crown would never fall. Sadly the FIFA boys got lazy, and each year EA would bring out a practically identical game to the last. But there was no other option for the gaming minions, as there seemed like no way out of this FIFA nightmare. Then like an arrow in the back, Konami released Pro Evolution Soccer. The evolution of their International Superstar Soccer series had come to fruition, and with the release of PES 2 in 2002...

There's life in the old PS2 dog yet

Advantages: Uses the old PS2 platform
Disadvantages: still costs you a minimum of £30

...By all accounts Rock and Roll should have been finished by 1959, and the Playstation 2 should have be a ?dead? platform by 2005 ?but somehow, both refuse to die. We still listen to a surprising amount of four chord sixteen bar riffs, and the PS2 continues to be the highest volume games console of all time. Guitar Hero III ?Legends of Rock? masterfully exploits both anomolies. Guitar Hero is available on a number of formats ? including Nintendo DS, Xbox, PC and PS3 HOWEVER the humble PS2 is still in the frame and capable of providing if not endless hours of entertainment, at the very least, a distraction during a wet Bank Holiday weekend. It?s entirely possible to play the PS2 version using the standard controller ? although it isn?t that much fun. The game revolves around adopting a character ? and playing a series of ?live...

Sims 2 PS2

Advantages: Very long game, quite realistic in the way of needs.
Disadvantages: No children, no aging.

...found some aspirations alot harder to play than others, but it is best to just give them all a go and see which ones you prefer. One of my favourite parts of the game was creating meals. You can choose different ingredients to put in a meal (such as meat, vegetables, fruit, fish, dairy and loads of other categories) and when you're done, your sim will eat it. I'd be careful while doing this, sims tend to get sick if you really mess up the ingredients. Controls in other Sims games are very different to the Sims 2 PS2. Instead of just clicking somewhere and then waiting for your sim to move, you control it's actions. You still have the option to go back to clicking if you want to though. I found this option really good, it gives the player alot more freedom and just improves the game in general. Once you have completed enough of your sim...
