Posted Feb 18, 2003 - I think PS2 is a great system.It works great, runs fast,has great graphics, and hardly any lag.But the only reason i hate it is the price, if it was cheap i would like it but it's way to pricy. Yes, Sony did rip us off but luckly i dont own one i just play on my friends all the time.Im just going to wait till prices go down.

Strengths:

Pretty good graphics, LOTS of games. Can also play PSone games.

Weaknesses:

None.

Posted Feb 17, 2003 - Altogether, I would say that the PS2 has been the best thing that I have ever got. This is great because it is pretty skinny , so it can fit in tight spots. I haven't had any problems with it, and the variety of games that it has is unbelievable (thousands if you include all the PSone games that it can play). A video game freak like myself, I'd recommend this console to anyone who can't decide which one to buy.

Strengths:

Large Variety of Games, Every Genre of Gaming, Out of box DVD playback, quality of Sony

Weaknesses:

Older than the other 2 consoles

Theres a good reason behind it.Sony deliver's quality, very fun sonsole with great titles. "PS2 came out too early they should have took a longer time to improve it" - or something like that Um... if i remember correctly when the PS2 came out it had the best graphics anyone had EVER seen in a console. It raised the mark for consoles and has continued to do so. Plain and simple. Ok the Xbox looks better, WOW PS2 has better titles, more titles. XBox - focuses on looking purty PS2 - has the best CONTENT, and for any true gamer thats what really counts

Strengths:

Games

Weaknesses:

Loading Time, Durability, Playstation 2's technical support is just awful, Over Priced

Posted Aug 3, 2002 - I own a Game Cube, and a PS2, and if I compared both the Game Cube would win. There seems to be these rumors that Playstation2 has better graphics, which is simply untrue. Check out Game Cube's Resident Evil, and the transition of Tony Hawk 3 from PS2 to Game Cube, the graphics are unmatched. The loading time is just way too long for PS2, it ruins many games, and the DVD on the PS2, would be worthless if it was on retail by itself. There for, I don't think your getting a good deal. In all I think it's a rip off, trying to entice you with a cheap DVD player, Your better off getting a Game Cube or an Xbox.

Strengths:

Wide verity of games. Dont need controler to play DVD's. Good graphics.

Weaknesses:

Breaks way to much. Games have been known not to work.

Posted Jul 17, 2002 - Yes, it is true. PS2 has the biggest game selection there is. And has a lot of really great games. I've had the PS2 for a little over a year now, and I've gone through 4 of them. That's right, 4... It seems like everytime I began to have a great time, it would freeze one me. Even worse, I would get a hole new PS2 and find out that a new game I bought was bad too. I've probably gone through about 11 bad games this year. Which really sucks. So finally, i got fed-up with the system, and bought my self a bran-new XBOX. And I am proud to say that I have had a much better time with it. Yes it is big, and the controlers and huge. But the PS2 games like Splashdown and Max Payne just dont seem the same on XBOX. Graphics are much better, and even runs smoother. The water in Splashdown looks like the water at the beach, like you could drink it. So yes, PS2 is good to have, if you've got a lot of money, and dont mind returning it, then get it and nock your self out. But if you want a system that doesn't break donw, and has excelent game play, and astonishing graphics. Get an XBOX, and a copy of HALO :) ...

Strengths:

1.Very similar setup and controls as PSX 2.Incredible graphics and sound 3.You can play DVDs 4.It is reverse compatible with almost all PSX games 5.It can use PSX Dual Shock Controller

Weaknesses:

1.The DVD quality is kinda fuzzy 2.Some games load very slowly 3.Some games are on both systems 4.Earlier systems have bugs

Posted Jul 12, 2002 - I would definatly recomend buying a PS2. It has the biggest library of games of all the next-gen systems simply because it can play all the old PSX games, plus it can use the old controllers too. It also has a huge library of PS2 games already to choose from. It has games for every one: sports fans, role players, puzzlers, shooters, and all the rest. Gamecube and X-Box are both great systems too, but I would definatly choose PS2 over them a hundred time over.

Strengths:

A great system with great graphics (although not as good as gamecube/x box in most situations). Great selection of games and ease of use. Best designed controller out there. Built in DVD player is great

Weaknesses:

Graphics could be better, although they are perfectly fine for most. DVD player could be better, as it lacks the quality, speed and features of other players.

Posted Jul 5, 2002 - Sony PS2 is probably the best all around system to date, with its great selection of games, sturdy construction and good audio/video quality. Sure, x-box may boast better graphics, but the other features and selection of games of PS2 has to offer completely overshadows all competing systems

Strengths:

A ton. The graphics on the majority of the games are fast and quickloading. I must also add that Gamecube and X-Box are also very good looking systems ; except that X-Box is a HUGE system.

Weaknesses:

Some games take so long to load you turn the system off bored from waiting. Some of the games can get scratched really easily, DVD quality isn't is sharp as it should be.

Posted Jun 1, 2002 - PlayStation 2 is one of the best systems out so far. Loading is kept to a minimum, the games aren't ALL childish, the graphics are silky smooth. Games don't come on multiple CDs, they come on DVD-Roms instead (VERY COOL). You can play PSone games on PS2 which makes it even cooler (all of those Final Fantasy fans that only have a PS2 know what I am talking about). I love the body of the PlayStation 2. It's small, easy to carry, and has an expansion bay (which I am angered I cannot use since Sony hasn't made any or imported any add-ons to the U.S.). This system is now only $199.99 after its $100 decline. BUY THIS SYSTEM!!

Strengths:

Great sound, great games a.d perfect picture

Weaknesses:

It takes to long to load games but when there loaded its great.

Posted May 1, 2002 - This system is great and all those other people who disagree with me have sucky taste in viedo games. Another thing n-Cube is just a piece of @%$# . X-box is okay but it has no games at all they all suck. so your better off getting a PS2 its everything you could ask for.

Strengths:

Great system revolutionary brings an new level of gaming to the console world

Weaknesses:

Some games still have an tendency to lag when you have around twelve charcters a.k.a wrestlers on screen at once and the several disappointments cause by the delay of the release of the cable/56k mode

Posted Feb 19, 2002 - Great system great investment good -great durability its been excellent for me and im like an ultimate game junkie i felt obligated to submit an review because some of the others seem to be a bit biase home consoles are cool because they dont require you to purchase expensive video cards etc.. and for those who claim that their ps2 broke maybe thats the result of something called neglect (^_^)
