Advantages: Looks great!!!
Disadvantages: Will it ever be released???

...This game looks really graphically pleasing on the new PS2 console. It is also released on the original Playstation (The PSX) and the Nintendo 64 (N64). These games are now released, Pre-Christmas. The PS2 version was originally due to be released on the consoles launch, October 26th. When the launch was later put back to November 24th, the game was too. Now the developers are saying they have encounteed major problems and we may not get the game untill March. Apparently it is something to do with transferring the games PC engine to PS2!!! It is making people wonder if the game will get a PS2 release after all???... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

..."With the news of the Sony PS2 launch in October, some magazines and newspapers are talking of the end of standalone DVD players. After all, if you can have a top games console with DVD capabilities for £300, why spend £200-£500 on a box that just plays DVD's? However, this type of thinking is totally stupid. Sure, the DVD option on the PS2 is very useful, and will be used by many buyers, but the quality of the sound and images is nothing like even the cheapest DVD players. The original Playstation played CD's, but people didn't throw away their CD players for the simple reason that the Playstation playback was pretty poor. Yes, people will play DVD's on their PS2's, but standalone DVD players will continue to sell well." - So what a lot of PS2 users wont have DVD players and you cant deny it - The PS2 DVD quailty can be beaten by £500...

Advantages: Great graphics, great gameplay, great game!
Disadvantages: Framerate drops occasionally

...This game is almost perfect, the game takes snowboarding, adds a little arcade action and churns out what has to be the best snowboarding game I have ever played! The graphics are amazing, using the PS2 very well, you have to take into account that these are first generation graphics for the PS2, so what to expect when developers have mastered programming for the PS2is just unknown... The game focuses more on tricks than previous SnowBoarding games, if you pull off a trick you get boost, boost is used as a turbo to get you further up the line. Players have to get a balance between racing and pulling off tricks in order to master the game. The controls are simple and very effective, the shoulder button are dedicated to tricks, pressing them in a certain oreder will unleash a certain trick. The sound is great, although I don't like...

Advantages: Great graphics, amazing ball physics
Disadvantages: A limited choice of courses

...Do you like golf? Do you like playing games? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you will love this new Tiger Woods game on ps2.The graphics are incredible, in fact this is probably the best looking game on any console or PC. You can play as Tiger and many other pro golfers. The weather effects are amazing in this game. If you play a couple of holes, the weather can change in a variety of different ways. It could start raining on the first hole and then the sun will come out half way. Once this title comes out, buy it .... Read review

Advantages: DVD player, graphics, games
Disadvantages: price! the design and the internet isn't ready

...After the delay the PS2 is definatly worth £300. All the extras you recieve. The graphics and speed capabilities of the PS2 are absolutly oustanding.You can get lots of ver decent games these include There has been no problems with software except the lack of good titles. Tekken Tag is really Tekken 3 amazing graphics and a tag mode with good moves and realistic playability. The PS2 will be a machine for sequels like tomb raider 5 as the playstaiton 2 can talk the games to new highs.There is also Metal Gear 2 another great sequal. Ridge Racer 5 is less impressive but graphics aree still outstanding. Fifa 2001 this has to be the best football games I had ever seen on a console ITS AMAZING Iss however is not all thatgood. These games will help show the PS2 for the amazing machine it is. The price is a variable price... Read review

Advantages: very playable
Disadvantages: no improvement

...I got Tekken Tag when I bought my ps2 in september. In all honesty, Tekken Tag is a great game. It is very playable, the graphics are sound, and the tekken bowling provides hours of fun. However, I did have just as much fun playing tekken 3 on my ps1. I really don't think it has been improved that much, and I really dislike paying £44.99 for ps2 games. There really is not that much selection out there at the moment. Let's face it, the dreamcast will always win hands down in terms of graphics. No contest.... Read review
