Hi guys. I'm a 16 year old gamer, and I own an xbox and a Gamecube, and I hav a question...

The reason I hav an xbox and a gamecube is because each has exclusives that I wanted. (xbox- halo and doom. GC- zelda and mario)

I was wondering if there are any exclusives that make getting a second hand ps2 worth it? Plus I just reckon it would be cool to have all 3 consoles from a generation for once, that way I can play ANY game from last gen, if I've been missing out.

Please give me some advice.

P.S some game suggestions would be good, my favourite genres are RPG, shooting, Racing and action adventure.

Curt...

It depends who you are buying the PS2 from. And for Racing game suggestions, any Need For Speed game and Midnight Club 3

If you like RPGs, I'd recommend the PS2. Ibought one just for my dorm room, they're only like 80 bucks now....of course that doesn't include a memory card....but still....

Honestly though, there are alot of good RPGs on the PS2. Final Fantasy of course...but there are others.

If u can´t afford a new one, then get the used one. But PS2 is a must-have!

action adventure.

Than you definitely need God of War.

Also I would suggest you get it for Tekken and Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 80s (I don't have the Guitar games yet, but I plan on getting them all). Plus there are tons of other PS2 exclusives and plenty that you just might to play on PS2 as opposed to Xbox or Gamecube.

Oh I didn't see that before I posted. You definitely need God of War, God of War II, Tekken Tag, Tekken 5 (Tekken 4 isn't very great, but you could go ahead and get the whole series of Tekken because there is a great story; Tekken Tag has no story, so that might be good to start off with for Tekken), Soul Calibur III (I haven't played it yet, but it is an exclusive fighting game and I know that the series is great because I played Soul Calibur II), and I know there are millions of RPGs on PS2 but I don't know much about them because I'm not really a fan of RPGs.

They can and to save you have to get a psx memory card(the ps2 memory cards don't hold ps1 games).

Why not go PS3? You can still play all the PS2 games on the 60 system ...
