Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What’s not to love about this legendary system?
What are your experiences with the PS2, what were your cherished games on the console?
Despite it being the weakest of its generation, you cannot deny they managed to craft some excellent games out of it with work arounds.
What are your thoughts?
The PS2 is the best Sony system to me.
Back when it came out, it was so much better than everything else up to this point.
This, coupled with many games that started fanchises and/or were highly stylish and creative, and had new Equipment (GuitarHero, SingStar, EyeToy) make it the GOAT.
SSX Tricky will forever hold a special place in my heart.
It’s more over-the-top and arcade-y. Things like volcanos exploding as you ride down the slopes and an indoor mall-like mountain in Tokyo with an air-lift you use to do laps. Note that it’s not free-ride, so there are pluses and minuses to it.
Bought a Steam Deck, first thing I did was put a PS2 emulator on it. Loving every second.
Jak & Daxter/Ratcher & Clank trilogy were goated. I know a lot of people throw around “they don’t make them like they used to anymore” but in term of those two franchises on the PS2, they really don’t.
As an aside, I picked up the newest Ratchet & Clank on PC and was disappointed. They tried making it so much more cinematic and story-focused with tons of scripted scenes. Also it lacked any of the satirical humor the original 3 had.
