PS2 is still one of the greatest consoles!

Advantages: Years of entertainment
Disadvantages: Getting old now

...fine, nothing wrong with it as far as i can hear. Controller - Comfortable, not as good as an XBOX360 controller but then, what is? Games - Just about every genre of game is on the PS2, there are masses of games to be played and they are all fairly cheap nowadays. Also plays some of the greatest games of all time like Final Fantasy, Grand theft auto and Need for Speed. Extras - It uses memory cards so you can use your save game on other people playstation - Until recently I found out that the removable plastic section at the back is for a harddrive (this is not in the slimline version) - It can be connected to the internet (for multiplater etc) - It can use a range of accesories, eyetoy (camera), steering wheels, guns, microphones, skateboards and even chainsaws. Even though it is 'out of date' it still have hours of play value....

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....

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...

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...

PS/2 Slimline a real tonic from Sony

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

...supply external and resorting to a top loading disc instead of the drawer arrangement on the original PS/2. The effect is a totally sexy little console. Here are the specifics: > Internal volume has been reduced by 75 percent over the current model > Overall weight has been halved > Thickness trimmed down to 2.8 cm (thickness of current model is 7.8 cm) > Size reduction over the original has to be seen to be believed. > Equipped with an integrated Ethernet port and modem port for online play > 2 controller ports (one supplied) > 2 memory card ports (none supplied) So as you can see it retains all the functionality of the old PS/2 but with the benefit of making it highly portable. Apart from the very impressive size / weight saving the biggest benefit for me is no more drone of the old infernal internal fan to keep...

Slim Shady Playstation 2

Advantages: sleek new modern design, lightweight, built in ethernet port
Disadvantages: the lid where you ut the games in is a little flimsy

...After having purchased a standard sized playstation 2 console in 2001, I decided to sell my console on ebay towards the end of 2005 when the slimline playstation 2 console was unveilled to the world. Why did I chose to sell the console that had worked for the last 4 years, for a siver slimline playstation 2? The new slimline playstation two has been reduced in size from the previous version by 75%., the weight has been halved and the and thickness trimmed down to 2.8 cm, from 7.8 cm. Equipped with an integrated Ethernet port for network gaming, the new PlayStation 2 sets new standards in the fusion of design and functionality. The slimline playstation 2 has a new flip lid instead of the motorised draw. The flid lid is a little flimsy but I suppose there was no room for a motorised draw on the slimline version. Looks -wise...

PlayStation 2 Review By Vaza

Advantages: Small, loads of games and cheap.
Disadvantages: Small chance of overheating, but so does everything else.

...THE SOFTWARE The PlayStation 2 is the best console of it's generation and arguably the best of all time, with thousands of great games and a large back catalogue of PS1 games, you can always pick up a good game for a bargain. Just because the newer PlayStation 3 is out, doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy a PS2, Its at a cheap price and would cost you 150 pounds to buy the console, some games and get it hooked up online, whereas next gen consoles could cost up to 500 pounds (excluding the Wii, which would take about 250). What I'm saying is, it may be "last gen" but it's great, fun and best of all; Cheap! The PlayStation 2 is a must buy for hardcore and casual gamers alike, if you are casual, play EyeToy Play (camera and game costs 20 pounds these days). If you are hardcore, then God of War and Final Fantasy are great for you...

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...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS2)

Simpsons Hit and Run (PS2)

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Simpsons Hit and Run for the PS2 is a quite average game. You play the game as different characters through out, including Bart, Lisa, Marge and Homer, you complete different challenges to unlock new cars, get rewards or it may just be in the interest if the character in line with the story to complete the missions. You also come across other characters when completing missions like Doctor Nick, Mr Burns, Smithers and many others. The graphics in this game are very bright and cartoony, they are much a like the Simpsons cartoon graphics, they are much more square though which leaves the characters looking a bit different to the cartoon, the graphics arent very impressive, though they do not ruin the game either. I bought this game over a year ago for around £15, however I am very sure that you could get it much more cheaper...

Review of The Simpsons: Hit & Run (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...
