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

...to spend more time playing the games then waiting to play them. The games fit much better into the tray than the first model of the playstation 2. Also the game disks dont because as scratched as they used to. Finally the analog control ad feels much lighter than the original control pad. Also the console comes internet ready meaning that all you have to do is wire the console up to your internet connection and you can play online. With the original console you had to buy an Internet adaptor costing £20 to do so. Bad Features The tray, where you put the games in, is a flip lid. The lid is a little flimsy but should not break if your not too heavy handed with it. The tray on the original playstation 2 is much better because you press a button and the tray comes out. The new design of the console cannot stand up vertically...

Review of Transformers: The Game (PS2)

A great PS2 game!

Advantages: Great fun with friends and really good price - get into the olympic spirit!
Disadvantages: Not as fun on your own

...the fun of the game when you hear your friend shouting after the arms start to seize up (don't worry its nothing serious! lol). Most events incorporate this basic use of these two buttons and will require a bit more for example to press another button to throw or jump. Here is a list of the athletics events: 100m, 200m, 400m 800m, 1500m 110m Hurdles (or 100m for women) Long and Triple Jump High Jump Pole Vault Discus, Javelin and Shot Put Gymnastics: Floor Exercises (men or Women - both different) Rings (men) Vault This is, in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable games on the PS2 and i am always playing it with my sisters at home - they still can't beat me! I have had it for 4 years and it is forever coming back out to be played and is great with 4 friends. I still think that the music is really good and the graphics are...

FFXII: The best PS2 game ever

Advantages: Excellent in every aspect.
Disadvantages: Some of its gameplay system may not be likable by some.

...It's undoubtedly the number one game in my list of top PS2 games. The game is great in every aspect and I'm not kidding. Though I will try to be as unbiased as possible, please be aware that this review is solely based on my opinion. Brace yourself for this review is going to be quite lengthy. For those blinded by the wall of text, buy this game if you haven't already. This game has a solid storyline, with strong supporting details, and I love every moment of it. Basically, two countries, Rozarria and Archadia are at war. They destroy anything that gets in their way, namely the Kingdom of Dalmasca, and Nabradia. These countries became the battlefield. The ruler of Dalmasca was killed after a turn of events, hence an unconditional surrender was in place. The Archadia then managed to conquer Rabanastre. The game starts two years after...

Review of Final Fantasy XII (PS2)

GTA inspired game on an island! (Just Cause (PS2))

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...Just Cause is an exciting action game for the Playstation 2 which is like another GTA based game and is developed by Eidos. In the game you are the excellent character Rico Rodriguez who is sent to San Esperito Island and your job is to get rid of the evil dictator called Salvador Mendoza which allows you to have some fun on the missions! There is also a massive free roaming element to this game as you can explore the massive island. I mean massive! You can take some nice cars from some of the civilians or parachute off a cliff! You can also fly helicopters, kill people, annoy the Agency and the police, and just have fun! I like the fact there are so many vehicles whether on car, in the air or even in the water on boat (yes there are boats!) In these vehicles Rico can also pull off some cool stunts like parachuting, hanging near...

Review of Just Cause (PS2)

Questionably the best game ever made for the PS2

Advantages: gameplay career graphics maps free roam
Disadvantages: very limited multiplayer functions

...San Andreas has the best maps that ever been in existence on a GTA game. The graphics are amazing for a Playstation 2 game. The thing I love about the maps is that there is loads of free roaming space to mess about with. I especially likes the countryside, however, this part of the game seems to be lost in all of the other Grand Theft Auto games. In San Andreas there is a huge range of vehicles, going from military planes and helicopters to hovercrafts. With a whole load in between and even more available with cheats. The choice of weapons is like the cars, very good. There must be about 30 different weapons in the game. However, quite a few of these are mainly available through cheats. Although thats another big part of the game... cheats. All Grand Theft Auto games are widely known for their crazy, random and useful cheats. To...

SMACKDOWN VS RAW, THE GAME PS2.

Advantages: Great graphics.
Disadvantages: Cant realy swap stars on shows

...This is a great wrestling game, and I think any gamer who enjoys wrestling games will enjoy this one. Some people compare this game to HCTP and instantly say that it sucks. It is missing a few features that the old game has, but it has also approved. Graphics The graphics this game holds are just awesome. It can be compared with any current game, and it will hold it's own. This is one of the best things in the game. Like HCTP, the people in the crowd actually move, and they're not just part of the background. A lot of moves have good graphics, but some could have been better. Benoit's crossface is still horribly animated, but the games graphics are good enough to ignore that small part of the game. Gameplay There are a bunch of new things this game has to offer. I think that the new clean/dirty system is just great. Once you fill...

Review of WWE Smackdown! VS. Raw (PS2)

The best GTA game on the PS2

Advantages: Excellent game, good gameplay
Disadvantages: Average story, tricky controls

...'m sure there are much, much more. The same problems with the difficulty level are still present from the previous games, which is another downfall. There's a difference between a challenge and being so annoyed that you want to smash your PS2 console to pieces. Then there are the familiar infuriating attempts to drag out the game length, such as needing to take over a certain amount of territory to progress, or going to pilot school and completing each and every mundane pilot mission to get your "license". Ugh. I completed about 85% of the story before I got too pissed off and simply used cheats to complete the game. I have no shame in admitting it, because the difficulty levels get so ridiculous I felt it was justified. In fact, I recommend the same to those who have trouble with it, lest you get so turned off from the game and lose all...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

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)

Lego Star Wars- The Video Game, for ps2 - Fun for all ages!

Advantages: Good WHOLESOME Family FUN - ITS Star Wars !! simple and addictive
Disadvantages: none really - my be a little tame for more serious/grown up gamers??Thats all

...I think my son was a pretty late starter when it comes to video gaming . I bought a ps2 for the house in 2007 when my son was 6 years old and part of the deal was that I got to choose two free games with it. ...Knowing my son has a ton of lego which he plays with all the time! and Star Wars being WELL, Star Wars! I chose Lego Star Wars the video game as one of the games for my new family console. Before that moment ,my son knew very little -if anything about star wars but that was about to change! Now lets get to the game. The game begins in Dexters Diner. Dexters Diners is where you begin the game each time you switch it on. Here you choose which episode you want to play a scene from, providing the door to the scene and episode has been unlocked. You will see that there are 6 doors leading from Dexters Diner. 2...
