No, if you have PGR2, why in Gods name would you get Need For Speed?

Because NFSU is more fun than PGR2 maybe? My opinion of course.

:)

Anyway, I would recommend, at the moment, Crimson Skies. I posted a reply in the PS2 forum about it so you can read what it's like in there.

Manhunt is actually rather poor. I was let down by it. NFS:U is not a patch on PGR2.

KOTOR is an amazing game. I want Crimson Skies at some point as well.

Considered Amped? Well you'd be better off with the second one probably but anyway. Oh and Worms 3D is fantastic.

Burnout 2 and DOA3 spring to mind also.

Crazy, i think you should buy some juice (booze/spirits etc) for new years eve! that's no.1 priority! i'm goin down sainsbury's tommorow myself.

need some spirits to fuel the "drinking chess" board i got from the gadget shop. have to speak hip-hop here and say, it's gonna be phat! also gotta get some smirn off ice to make some turbo shandies with the huge bottle of stella i got for xmas. and finally a big bottle of vod and a load of smirn off ices ;-)

alot of people i know say nice things about 'need for speed: underground' i was gonna get it instead of XIII but dunno much about it. they said it's the best racing game around, the NOS is guality - i have no doubt about that. any opinions?

For that amount of money you could probably get:

A GameCube
Zelda
Mario Kart
Metroid Prime
and
Eternal Darkness.

Which are four of the finest games ever created. But if you can't stand to own a GameCube, no matter how good they are, I suppose Crimson Skies, XIII and Metal Arms may be some good choices. Although Metal Arms is extremely shallow, so don't expect anything too good, just some good fun, and a bit of humour.

Metal Arms is only 15 squids on Play.com, was almost tempted to buy it.

I'd recommend

XIII
Jedi Academy
Worms 3D
Simpsons Hit and Run

Everyone seems to think Hit and Run is pretty good

Might just have to pick it up when it becomes cheap one day

Maybe, but SSX 3 onloine for PS 2 is good enough for me.

Oh and Worms 3D is fantastic.
No thanks.
