Sony Playstation 2 Reviews

I can't believe Sony are getting away with making a second rate console again! Its totally unacceptably, their first effort was out classed by the far superior Sega Saturn, which I am the very proud owner of, however, somehow, although Sega have been in the games industry for alot longer, Sony managed to get most of the best games for ...  Read the complete review

The PS2 has been around for a fair few years longer than conbsoles such as the Microsoft X-Box and the Nintendo Gamecube however it is still compared with them and appears to remain in the premier league of games consoles. Why is this? Graphically the PS2 is capable of NTSC 640x480 interlaced resolution in a 4x3 display thus ...  Read the complete review

Is the Playstation 2 really worth it? There are many opinions out there regarding this latest attempt to corner the market by the all-powerful Sony. Some fanatically bang on about the console as if it’s the next messiah and the cure to all ills. Where as others dismissed it as a failure before it even left the shelves. ...  Read the complete review

I bought my PS2 about a year ago. Within a week, my best friend had bought herself one. Within a fortnight 90% of the people I know, owned a PS2. I'm not a bully and I don't work for Sony, I just love, yes LOVE, the PS2! I speak as I find and I find this beautiful, nay, SEXY, piece of machinery/wonder to be a) the best games ...  Read the complete review

Living in a house that has always been Nintendo orientated, I was a bit shocked when my son announced that he now wanted to try play station. Not knowing much about it I agree to ‘scour’ the Internet to find the best deal! Unfortunately they were all about the same price - £199.99. This price was without any games! I eventually ...  Read the complete review

~ Introduction ~ A couple of years ago I got a Playstation…it provided endless fun, bored days at home were spent shooting the bad guys in Medal of Honour, bombing it around racetracks and having hilarious laughs playing multiplayer WWF with friends… When I bought a Playstation like many I waited a year or two until ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Playstation 2 has been on the market for a fair amount of time now but is still the biggest console on the market even with the introduction of the XBOX and GameCube, doesn't that say something? I ahve had one from the release date and pre-ordered it months before it came out. I have over 40 games for it and every accessory you can ...  Read the complete review

Its easy being the best in a market of one. Now the Xbox and gamecube are released isnt the consoles future bleak? no! Specs. Not that these make much difference, but the specs of the PS2 are quite considerably lower in some departments than the Xbox and GCN (gamecube). However this has less impact because it is easy to use specs to ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking about buying one of the latest games consoles then you are in the same boat as I was about a month ago. The choice is the Gamecube, the Xbox and the good old PS2. I went for the PS2 and let me tell you why. The playstation 2 has been out for quite a while now so why should you buy that instead of one of the latest ...  Read the complete review

The release of the playstation 2 was much anticipated. Mainly by mainstream gammers facinated by the PS1 but also more widly by gamers across the various formats. The original console attracted the masses as it was both well publicised and good value for money. The PS2 now only £199 is a very good deal also and set to offer similar quality ...  Read the complete review

Although having been out for over a year and maybe looking like it's past it allready, the PS2 is still one of the big three in computer consoles. For polygon count(those who don't know what this means- the higher the better!)it is well beyond the likes of the newly released Game Cube, but now competes with the all hailed X box. It also, ...  Read the complete review

I hate reading the hundreds of conflicting opinions written by kids worshipping one console dissmissing the competition. They lack any sense of objectivity, the entire point of debate on the issue. It is really quite sad to spend your time allining yourself with a japanese cooperation and aggressively defend them and attack their rivals. That is ...  Read the complete review

I was toying with the idea of upgrading my decrepid playstation to the all sparkling (well matt black) ps2 for sometime due to the large amount of excelent upcoming titles. The final clintcher came when sony dropped the price to £200! What a bargan a DVD player and an excellent games console for 200 quid! Have got the console home I found to ...  Read the complete review

* Introduction * Everyone knows what this is so I wont bore you with technical details and specs as I'm sure they have been written about numerous times already. No need to mention anything about it's predecessor either because it's not relevant. What's relevant is what I think about it. * Price * Firstly ...  Read the complete review

Not a giant leap for mankind - but a small step for a man. - Advantages: DVD Player - Disadvantages: DVD Quality

The PlayStation 2. Ah, the sequel to the world's most successful home games console of all time (...PlayStation of course...), Sony has already had phenomenal success with their second games machine and it may well be one of three that you're considering if you're going to get a new games or entertainment machine. The PS2 ...  Read the complete review

I am a latecomer to the PS2 as I only bought mine a few weeks ago. It was decision time - XBox, PS2 or GameCube? My first thought was to get the XBox - but I suspected there would be a games deficit for a while. The same was true with the GameCube. I looked at the PS2 again - although a couple of years old, the technology is ...  Read the complete review

This console is definately the best on the market at this moment in time, and will be until Playstation 3 comes out in a few years time, this is not due to it's amazing graphics, because the Xbox has better specs. It's nothing to do with the hard drive coming out in the near future with internet capabilities, because the Xbox already has ...  Read the complete review

I don't know why people are rating the PS2 on it's DVD playing qualities. The console is designed for game playing, therefore no one can complain if the DVD quality is not up to a high standard. I have had the opportunity to own a DVD both a stand alone model and as an in built player added onto my home PC. Ok the quality of the ...  Read the complete review
