Playstation is not as good as N64. No way. I hate the playstation and i'm not just saying that because I own an N64 because I also own a Dreamcast and N64 is a lot better than that as well (dreamcast is still better than playstation though). In my opinion N64 is the best console out at the moment and although a lot of the games are kiddy they are still great games (mario, banjo-kazzoie/tooie for example). There are loads of non kiddy games as well though like goldeneye, perfect dark and shadowman. Although I say that N64 is the best console out at present I have never played a PS2 although to be honest I don't think it looks that great and again, I'm not just saying that. I do think it will become a great console in the future with class games such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo 3 coming out but there really aren't enough games out at the moment to make it the best console and for 300 quid it's also too expensive. Anyway by the time MGS2 and GT3 are out the Gamecube will probably be out as well and and no matter how much people say PS2 will be better, I say - NO CHANCE!!! Just wait for Perfect Dark Zero, Wave Race:Blue Storm, Metroid, and Rogue Squadron 2. You may say that they are just sequels to old games but so are MGS 2 and GT3. Anyway they are sequels to already great games. However, I have one doubt about PD Zero and that is that I have no idea how you improve on PERFECTion. Hold on a minute, I thought that about Goldeneye and then Perfect Dark came out. Oh well , I know I can trust rare to come up with something absolutely amazing. Just think of online play with PD Zero.
Anyway, having a dreamcast as well I can also say that it is nowhere near as good as N64. It isn't bad. There are SOME really great games but there just isn't enough of them. Soul Calibur, Shenmue and MSR are the best but i've played all of those to death (with the exception of soul calibur because that just never gets boring). None of the games last as long as the great N64 games (again with the exception of soul calibur).
On the topic of next generation consoles I think that X-Box will just be a PC hooked up to a TV so I'm not going to be getting that. However, having said that, the PC does have some really great games but again, having said that, I already have a PC so why would I want another. In my opinion though it will still sell by the millions because it is made by microsoft, the definition of quality. The PS2 will also sell brilliantly (and already has) but only because of the success of the original playstation. I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. Then we come to gamecube, the JESUS of them all. I don't think it will sell the most though. In fact I probably think both PS2 and X-Box will outsell it because whenever anybody thinks of Nintendo they immediately think of kiddies games. This is a shame because I think Nintendo and Rare (who only develop for nintendo machines) provide the best and most enjoyable video games around. I know which console I'm getting. I can't wait.
At the moment however I am stuck with Dreamcast. I can't wait for Shenmue 2. Crazy Taxi 2 and Ecco the dolphin 2 will also be pretty good but these games (with the exception of Shenmue 2) will only be diversions to keep me happy while I await the greatness of Perfect Dark Zero and Rogue Squadron 2.

Furfighters is better than DC version.

You are telling me to go away? Now that is very childish isn't it you just can't handle my views. The thing is every single one of the Ps2 games has a no. on the end of it not a few but nearly every single one of them.
Yes, but he has the import version.
Honestly it is that short as I said I have a freind who owns a Ps2 and he completed it in 58 mins. Ok he had already completed it and then used the no cut scenes extra. But he still completed it in under an hour. As I have said in a past post games are not about pretty graphics the gameplay is everything. I need games that last me a couple of weeks. I know that does not seem very long but that is how long games take me to complete.

So its fine for the GC to have some sequels, but as soon as its another rival console you think you can start moaning about it, and saying its a bad thing. Just give up and go away would you.

I was not using it in the way you assume though. It was merely a way of pointing out that the PS has a lot of original titles too, except that due to the shear number of titles on PS, they become a little overwhelmed.
> Well Fur Fighters and Crazi Taxi (2 to put you right)
Yes, I just read that about Fur Fighters, except it is an advanced version of it. As for Crazy Taxi, I know that, which is why it was put in the good games section, rather than the non-sequels.non-conversions section.

It looks fantastic though. It is visually brilliant whether you like it or not. The voices and sound are also very good. You have wildly exaggerated the shortness of the game. It is short, but not that short. Try and think of a better argument.

What about RavenBlade and Pikmin. These are not sequels are they. Even if Pikmins name does look like something I have seen before. (pikmin+2o)-(2i)+e=pokemon. Anyway it is a totally different type of game. Also it is good to have some familiar characters on your new console.
