5 out of 5 stars Take care of your stuff and it won't break   September 12, 2008
D. Ballen (Montgomery)
I've had the PS2 since it first came out when I was about 16. 6 years later, and I have never had any problems with it that were not user induced. Take care of your stuff and it won't break. I like all of the consoles, but I'm just now getting an xbox 360, mainly because of SquareSoft's new game, Infinite Undiscovery. Either way, just take care of your stuff. I still have a perfectly good Sega Genesis; doesn't give me any problems.


5 out of 5 stars Not as good as the PS3, but still pretty darn good   September 10, 2008
Charley Zirbel (Pocahontas, AR USA)
I've seen the awesome graphics and experienced the gameplay of the PS3, so I know that the PS2 isn't the greatest thing in the world. BUT I still love it! I would definitely recommend this to those, like myself, who can't afford a PS3 yet.


4 out of 5 stars great consol no problems at all   August 22, 2008
Shellon T. Alexander (Trinidad)
I have to admit that no matter what goes on around I can always run to my PS2 and relax... I just started playing video games again and the only Consol I could think about is the PS2. For it's durability and availability of the games I like...


5 out of 5 stars a ps2 review from I to all of you   August 18, 2008
Joshua Glowzinski (Earth)
This is in my opinion the best game system. First of all it's made by sony. I have allways had good luck with sony products. From tvs to cameras, sony has allways made good stuff. Lets talk about the system first. I have the older version which came only in black. Now though you can get on in black, silver or ceramic white. I lay the system down flat when I store it, as well as when I play it. The system is pretty light at about 6 pounds.

The controller is in my opinion the best controller of the last gen game consoles. You have to buy a memory card to save your games which is good if you have friends that play the games you do. You can just bring your memory card with you when you travel. Also, if you insert the memory card before you put a game in you can look through your card to see what games you have saved on it. This is good if you want to delete a game or make a copy of another. It also shows you the date and time you made the save. I though it was neat to see when I saved the games I saved on it.

The system plays very quietly and lasts a long time. I have had mine since like 98 and it still plays great. If you looking for a big game list, your in luck. If you look playstation 2 games up on amazon you will see more than 1000! They have games that more than likely everyone will enjoy. Now you can go online with the system. However I'm not sure how many games actually have online portions in the ps2. It was to late for ps2 fans to care. Also, you could have a hard drive for the system for games like Final Fantasy 11. I only have one because I beta tested the game and got mine free. I don't know if more than 5 games even use the hard drive. You don't need to have games to use it though. You can store all your ps2 game saves from your memory card to the hard drive. I have SO many saves on it. So that is one cool thing you can do. I am pretty sure the new ps2s don't even have space for the hard drive. So if you did want one you would need to get the older version.

They are still putting out games for the system. Some would say the graphics do not meat up to the new systems but I say so what? I have a 360 as well as a Wii and I think the graphics look great. What it all comes down to is this, if your looking for a well know, long lasting video game system with a huge library that will keep you entertained for a long long time, then the ps2 is the system you should get.
