Everybody knows the ps2 has one of the best, if not the best game libraries of any console ever. But what about the Gamecube and Xbox only owners last gen? I mean, both consoles haver their titles, but not as abundant as the ps2. That's why the ps2 is still living today, and really, now is the best time to own one.

Or a 20/60/80 GB PS3 for that matter. I haven´t bought a wii, ps3 or 360 game because just now i'm enjoying the ps2 library. In just a matter of months, I´ve managed to nab God of War, SotC, Kingdom Hearts 2 1&2, The Grand Theft Auto trilogy and the Sly Cooper trylogy, and all of them under 30 dollars (some of them even 10)

So for now, i'm giving my 360 and Wii a rest to enjoy all the ps2 has to offer.

Thoughts? I know some of this gen games fail to impress.

Problem with the PS2 is that it lacked Western-type games, like FPS, WRPGs and RTS.

It means what kind of score it got from reviews.

AAAA = 10

AAA = 9 - 9.9

AA = 8 - 8.9

A = 7 - 7.9

Also, if someone puts an "E" in it (for example AAAE) it means its an exclusive.

I always found the PS2 to be over rated, don't get me wrong I have a stack of PS2 games but they always seemed to have murky visuals or very little going on on the screen at one time and a lack of polish, I really didn't like the video processing and the lack of rv ram held it back (the DC kept up with it on occasions :|).

I did however just pick up a xbox which is chipped so I can upscale the games to 720P (uk xbox did not offer this) and play the games as they were intended, so I do see your point if you missed a console last gen. On this note I highly recommend to you the DMC games, ICO and SOTC, Okami, both MGS games, FF X and XII and both Kingdom Hearts.

I hope nobody completely misunderstands me here because I did like the PS2 as a console, I just did not think it was a very good successor to the first PS and was only successful because of the original PS. It still had some good games though, but they would have been a lot better if the PS2 was better built.

Nah the best time to own a PS2 was last gen. When it was getting its big stream of games when I was interested in them.

Now I just look back at those PS2 games and say

"Damn that game was awesome" maybe play a few rounds, and just not have the spark for it, i had when it came out.

I luved the ps2 it is the greatest console of all time, some might not think so but just look at the stats, it's the best selling console of all time and it's still selling well 2-3 years into this current generation, there is no other console that could do that apart from the ps2, it's amazing.

I want to get MGS3 and God of War, but I can't! I bought them pre-owned and neither of them worked, and the selection of PS2 games in the stores are just crap. I don't think now is the best time. Maybe last year.

the ps2 is dead for all im concern. theres nothing really coming out for it, except multi-platform game that third parties put out, expecting a quick cash it. i notice the software sales of these games are slowly dropping more and more.

Basically its how you appease video game developers and publishers. The range of an A is 70-100 so corporations can put out shovelware and mediocre content and still be able to tell potential investors "we make A quality games, check the ratings."
