"why the ps2 is so great, oh wait thats wrong, why the ps2 is so bad"

sup sup sup,
am i the only person in the world that thinks the ps2 ISN'T the best consle in the world, it was so over hyped that everybody wanted to get one just so they could say they have one. im not saying its not good, because its not bad, i have tried one!! but there not half as good as most people make them out to be, reply to this post if you agree, also if you think im wrong, tell me why the ps2 is so good,
thanx

if the PS2 is such an advance why da hell are people still buying Psones? the damn things are still on sale for £80. this has gotta be a first. usually the pre-console iss dead before before the next one comes out, but its been 9 months since the PS2 came out! and the psone is still going strong.

I know quite a bit about the GC's games because Shocktrooper (I know him off the net)informs me about all of them yet I can't remember what other games are being released with the GC.

The GC has already got several original games announced and that's just for the launch.

From Monkey Ball, Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion (which is a ghost busting game, not a platformer) through to Donkey Kong racing (Racing through the Jungle on various animals instead of the unoriginal bunch of vehicles that all other racers use.).

Then there's probably a several more I don't know about it.

Devellopers love the Gamecube because it's so easy to make games for.

If the PS2 hasn't revolutoinised gaming then what are the chances for the GC or Ex-Box? (Obvious for the ex-box but what about the GC?)

It hasn't revolutionised gaming like Sony said it would.

Most are PS quality with better graphics which isn't neccessarily a bad thing but it's hardly revolutionary.

Also the system is awkward to work with, preventing devellopers from giving it their best.

There are a other things too.

Ask Ant and Wookie. I've told them more then enough times :-)

In what way?

So there's a fair few decent games on the horizon. Fair enough.

But it's still not half as great, original, or revolutionary as Sony had the public believing.

Each new Nintendo system brings with it new experiences and new excitments one thing that helps heavily in this new feeling is a new controller.

Nintendo has a new Controller and the PS2 hasnt and with the games that feel much like old PS games with better graphics (GT3 anyone) you can understand why we see it as a small leap rather than a huge one.

What do you mean "not lived up to the hype"! The best is yet to come. (I mean in the form of ISS 2 and MGS 2 and FF 10!)

I don't think I've ever called the PS2 crap...


Not for atleast 6 months anyway...


But even then, there is absolutely no denying that Sony hyped it up and it didn't live up to the hype by a long shot.

It's not a total disaster though seeing as there have been a fair few decent games about.

I'm expecting most of them to be released on the Gamecube alongside the unique offerings from Rare and Nintendo.

That's my infallable logic. :-)
