As one of 2000 broken PS2 owners, I thought I'd rave about the best console of the last millennium, let's not forget about this little beauty - my respects to the PlayStation.
Sony’s first venture into the world of gaming proved to be an incredible hit! The Playstation, although partly developed by Nintendo, is still holding it’s own in the modern day market soaking up an incredible 52% market share! The Playstation has been recently transformed into a small, but ultimately indifferent PSone, which sold very well over the Christmas period. This new device is basically a Playstation – about half the size or less, but is compatible with an LCD screen add-on, which costs £99.99 separately! This allows for portable gaming, so you can play more or less wherever you like as long as there is a plug socket!
I have been a great fan of the Playstation, and have around 100 games in my collection – a lot, I know, but I really do like games! My wife isn’t so impressed when I tell her about my latest addition, but my work chums usually come round to have a play-test on a game! There are around 700 games for the Playstation – maybe even more, and its good to see that developers and publishers are still backing it 100% even though the new PS2 has arrived.
There are around 6million PSX owners in the country, and I’m sure that most of them have been fairly pleased with their machine. It’s inexpensive, has an incredible backlog of superb games including nearly every EA sports title, loads of racing games – Gran Turismo 2 being my absolute favourite, as well as many other games in around 50 different genres!
Graphically the PSX is not the best around, but a few years back it was state of the art stuff. Nowadays, the N64 has better looking games, but it seems as though that is on its last legs, the Dreamcast and Playstation2 both have better looking games than the lot, although my PS2 experience wasn’t so great (see my review on it!!).
You can chip your console easily to play back up or ‘copied’ games, but I haven’t done this as I do not like ripping the publishers off – there is a very, very wide black market in copied Playstation games – this has lead to decreasing profits for many developers and publishers because a lot of people just buy the copy for a fiver instead of paying £30.
If you like adventure games then check out Crash Bandicoot. If you’re into horror games then you’ll find none better than the magnificent Resident Evil series – but I personally recommend Silent Hill above all others. There’s a t least 40 football games on the Playstation, with FIFA 2000 being the best so far, although ISS Pro is superb.
Everyone is catered for with the Playstation! I have seen the price tumble from £300 back in 1995, all the way to just £79.99 as it is today – excellent value, but try the 2nd hand market – you may be able to pick one up for £50 with a couple of games.
The PSX has served its purpose in my view. Great games like Tony Hawk’s have become classics on the console, but it seems as though the console may not be the publisher’s first choice now as they’re selling PS2 games for £44.99 now, and with the new Game Cube arriving soon, not to mention the XBox, we won’t be seeing many top games on the console released soon. The best has been and is still here, but we’ll all be buying the next best thing soon.
Overall, the Playstation offers very good value, and will be your best friend for a few years!
So far I have been more impressed by the Playstation than the PS2 – I give this console 10/10, shame about my personal experience of the PS2.

My turn...
The PS2 is the most powerful console out today so I hardly think it will be bad as some people are thinking. The games that are out at the moment are of a very high quality but people were expecting better. Yes, the PS2 had a rocky start but with titles such as Red Faction and GT3 out people are starting to like, or even love the PS2.
The PS2 is totally different to any Nintendo console because of the style of games so I don’t think it is fair to compare it too much with the GAMECUBE.
The PS2 is a very powerful machine which is capable of playing some glorious 128 Bit games. I think that most people who want to buy a PS2 are put off by one thing, and this also crossed my mind. The PS3. Yes, even before the PS2 was released people were already talking about the PS3 and to be quite honest I was outraged by it. I was going to spend some very hard earned cash on a games console which was promised to be the future of gaming for a long time, but with all the talk about the PS3 I was beginning to get worried. I got even more worried when Sony started to show of the power of the soon-to-be PS3. 16 times the power PS2, capable of rendering photo-realistic models and textures, that’s what the PS3 has to offer. Sounds very lovely, don’t it? Not to me because I know that Sony’s time is going to be put into the PS3, not the PS2. Before they even think about making a PS3 they really need to put the PS2 on tracks because quite frankly, the PS2 is a bit of a flop at the moment.
Oh, saying it was a flop is a little harsh then. It does have some great games, but are they really, REALLY great? No, the graphics are good but we were promised so much more. The emotion engine sounded great, offering gaming a whole New World. All we have got is little more than some grass swaying in TTT. Coming back to all the talk of the PS3… it’s not all bad because soon after the PSX was released, Sony started working on the PS2 so it just goes to show that the PS2 will have a long future ahead of it. Sony are not silly though, they know that if they release the PS3 too soon people will be very annoyed and maybe not even buy another Sony console again.
So, assuming the PS2 has a bright future ahead of it, what will it have to offer us? Well, we are all excited about the talks of the new HDD, Internet access and soon online gaming. I know that the Dreamcast already features online gaming but Sony have waited patently for new technology to come so we can play brilliant online gaming with low ping rate etc. As soon as the Internet is released for the PS2 the things you will be able to do will be endless. I think most people are looking forward to online gaming more, but downloading MP3’s, maybe games, sending and receiving E-Mails will still be very exciting.
What Sony should try and to now is make all their promises come true. We need games that offer us so much more than just shooting people, racing a car against other cars and the like. With today’s technology we could so, so much more.
The PS2 really lacks quality games. Sure, SSX is a really, exceptional game but we can not keep using that as an excuse as to why PS2 is so great. I was quite shocked that SSX was going to be released on the Gamecube and the X-Box. With SSX being the best PS2 game, I think this is another issue that needs to be fixed. I am not talking about the issue of SSX going on different consoles, but I think Sony need to persuade game companies to make PS2 exclusive games for it. This will certainly increase the user base for it, wouldn’t it? Maybe this is why people whom previously owned a N64 are going to buy a Gamecube instead of a PS2. The PS2 doesn’t have many quality exclusive titles. Many people are delighted with the fact that the Gamecube has some fantastic titles that will never be made on any other console. Take Mario for instance. This is a game that I personally think people think of when they hear the words “Nintendo” Mario always features in a game with the launch of a console. This maybe is a point that the PS2 can not win.
With the issue of people buying a PS2 and not many games- I really do think that people are so broke because of the price of the console (costing a whooping £300) therefor not being able to afford many games. I don’t see what is wrong with people just playing DVD’s and PS2 games on it, afteral that is why the console is so expensive, so the customer has a right to use this features as this is what their hard earned money has gone to. The PS2 is not even classed as a games console, instead it is known as a home entertainment system, so people are obviously going to be playing other things on it than just games.
Sony should have though about the matter of companies loosing money harder. They know that there are going to be dozens of people who are just going to be buying a PS2 just for its DVD player.
Then again, maybe it’s the game companies’ fault. Maybe they should have sensed trouble with the PS2. No, on second thoughts that wouldn’t be fair for the PS2. It is a really powerful console, which is loved by thousands. It hasn’t even been out a year in the UK, so I wish people would just give it some time. Sony need to correct a few issues with the PS2. First being advertisement. I think that if they scrap the “3’rd place” advert, and make one that shows of some quality games rather than a headless duck, people will be more excited about it. Fair enough that the “3rd place” got people talking about it, and that is what Sony planned, but I think they were talking about it for the wrong reasons. So maybe it is just the little things that Sony have to get right that could make the PS2 appeal to more people.
For people who are in two minds in getting a PS2 or not… don’t decide this year. The simple reason that the PS2 has not yet shown off what it is capable of. I am not saying you should wait 5 years for this to happen, but just not until this year is over.
I think it will be wrong of me to say that the PS2 is going to be far better than the competition because I don’t know it for a fact and you may find yourself liking the Gamecube more than the PS2.
One of the best game producers for the PS2 is Konami. The game company Konami has made it quite clear that they are making a metal gear solid for the X-Box and also for the Gamecube. And this is a very good move for them because they can find out which console they are going to make the most profit out of. This is where the problem for the PS2 comes on, because as we all know, it has been a slow start for the PS2 and the userbase is still a little low. With not many people owning a PS2 yet, they will obviously not buy MGS2, but with the Gamecube looking so promising, maybe people will buy the Gamecube instead. This will possibly mean that the game will not sell as well on the PS2 and then Konami will be thinking “should we part PS2?”.
Maybe I will be proved wrong and MGS2 selling the best on the PS2, and I really hope it does, as I don’t think people will love the PS2 as much without Konami making games for it.
People are saying that the Ps2 games are unoriginal and are mostly sequels. This is not true. Take Zone Of The Enders, Red Faction, SSX, Timesplitters, Shadow Of Memories, Extermination, Summoner, Ominusha, Devil May Cry, Crazy Taxi… that’s 10 already. Yes there are a few sequels on the PS2 but that’s no bad thing.
Finally, the price of the PS2. It was £300 at launch and this is stupidly high. The main argument with the price being so high is that it has a DVD player. Is this the way forward for the future of gaming? What is the world coming to though? People buying a GAMES console and not buy a single game on it. This is true for the PS2 because it is proven that people have bought PS2 to play films on, and that’s it. I’m not sure on weather company’s are making their consoles DVD compatible just to be able to sell more units or to increase the price, but what I do know is that it’s damaging the gaming world.

The playstation is over 6 years old and is becoming dated, but with the only other competion of the n64 with it's daylight robbery game prices and the not so good saturn which originaly was priced at £400 the PSone easily took the lead. The console was very powerfull at the time but this soon becomes out of date but with FMV's, cd tracks,VCD,cheap prices and EXCELLENT games this is an amazing console.
Nintendo may have had the analog stick first but Sony's two analog sticks are far better in my opinion and the BEST dual shock there is on any other console make the controller one of the best around.
The N64 may have had better graphics as many people will tell you and the playstation suffers from so called squares well these never really bothered me except in the tomb raider games but in alot of games they're unnoticeable, the n64 just blurs the pixels to hide them but now the Ps2 has texture mapping which merges the "squares" to make them be a thing of the past.
My cousin has just bought herself a PSone and haha its just slightly bigger than the CD, but with classic games going at such cheap prices she's gona really enjoy it.i've lent her silent hill,crash 2,doom and some others.
The most reliable,succesfull,cheapest, most excellent console ever!!!
respect!!
