I went on a PS2 game-buying-frenzy today...

[Guest Downhome]

Ok, maybe not a FRENZY, but I did buy a few brand new PS2 games (six to be exact). They are as follows...

 

1) Dark Cloud (Greatest Hit)

 

2)Jak and Daxter (Greatest Hit)

 

3) Devil May Cry (Greatest Hit)

 

4) Medal of Honor: Frontline

 

5) Sly Cooper

 

6) Kingdom Hearts

 

...and they all are awesome as hell, period. I can't say enough good things about they all, so I wont really begin. I will just say this however...

 

...if you haven't got, or at least played, any or all of the above games, then you owe it to yourself to check them all out. If you want my deeper thoughts on them, just ask, but for now, just trust me, as they are all simply great!

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

1) Dark Cloud (Greatest Hit)

 

-----> Rented it... it was good enough, but it seemed like a severe lack of effort in some departments (story, for example). Note that I didn't get too far, since it was a rental, but it seemed like a nice 3D Diablo with a much more vague story.

 

2)Jak and Daxter (Greatest Hit)

 

-----> Only problem with this game, is it's too short. Awesome game.

 

3) Devil May Cry (Greatest Hit)

 

-----> Quite possibly the best PS2 release yet, because no game I've played yet is as fun as this one is. Also too short.

 

4) Medal of Honor: Frontline

 

-----> I rented it, thought it was somewhat overrated. Aside from D-Day, it's like Goldeneye, with worse controls and no gadgets. Sneaking on board submarines to destroy the shipyards (by yourself, of course), for example - too many missions with you on your own. Shoulda been more with you fighting with AI Teammates (like D-Day, which was also too short a level).

 

5) Sly Cooper

 

-----> Looks like a blast, have yet to play it.

 

6) Kingdom Hearts

 

-----> Currently have it for rental - controls and camera can get frustrating, but it's still an awesome game so far.

I can't say that I've tried any of those games, but I will make sure to try them in the near future. Has anyone tried Max Payne for PS2?

[Guest TheHulkster]

I bought Frequency over the weekend for $20 (I'm poor). I'd highly reccomend it to anyone. It's one of the best PS2 games that I have played. Looks like a solid selection you have there. The only problem you're going to have is finding time to play them all.

[Guest chirs3]

I am sooooooo getting Frequency when I've got the cash. I play the Demo all the time.

[Guest Renegade]

I'm torn whether to spend my money on Kingdom hearts or Mark of the Wolves for the dreamcast on e-bay. I didn't look at Kingdom hearts twice when I saw it first but I've read nothing but praise for it.

I can't say that I've tried any of those games, but I will make sure to try them in the near future. Has anyone tried Max Payne for PS2?

Yes, one of my favorite games, ever. Even though the PS2 version is the weaker of the three that are out there (in graphics basicly), it is still one HELL of a game. I am trying to "get it" on my computer, but to no luck so far. :D

[Guest DrTom]

Has anyone tried Max Payne for PS2?

Yes. Get the PC or X-Box versions.

[Guest The Notorious CRD]

Max Payne for the PC is infinitely better than the 2 console versions. The control scheme for the Xbox demo version (I've not played PS2's version) gave me nightmares that made me glad I owned it for PC.
