First - I'm very happy with my PS2. The graphics, sound, DVD (yes, even the DVD!) and variety of games are top notch. There is just one thing that bugs me....
Multitap.
Oh sony, why did you sell yourself short? Where was the forsight when it came to multiplayer gaming? I mean, OK I'm not saying we dont have 3 or 4 player games available, but be honest - how many of you have invested in a multitap and 2 more controllers....and how many of you have REALLY enjoyed a 4 player game on the PS2?
The gaming community is growing tenfold at the moment and more and more people want to share the interactivity the PS2 offers. But at what price?
I don't know about you, but I have fond memories of many a 4 player Goldeneye marathon in the hayday of the N64. Or staying up all night kicking butt on Mario Kart. Has the PS2 come close to that? Nope. Sorry, but its true.
Developers nowadays are including multiplayer levels purely as afterthoughts. Its not their fault, it's Sony's. Had the PS2 had four controller ports on the front of the machine, I am convinced this would be a different story. Sony has the developers behind them to produce some awesome multiplayer titles, its just a shame they decided to try and milk their customers that one last time.
