Yes,
That's pretty much the stark reality of the PS2's life. It's going on for a year next month and so far there are literally only a few games that I would consider are absolutely essential purchases.
Gran Turismo 3 is without question a magnificent title despite some calling it 'short of what I expected'. SSX is another title that is testament to what the PS2 can do and let's not forget that it was there at the console's release either.
What's there apart from that though? Tekken Tag is good but not as good as hoped for. Crazy Taxi - a game that sold like mad on the Dreamcast resulted in a poor conversion that left the DC version looking better. Red Faction is a great game but visually a little dull with glitchy AI.
ISS was a disappointment and even the recently released Extreme G 3 (which I love) is capable of more.
Saying that though there are several games that I love (Shadow of Memories, Formula One 2001 and Crazy Taxi (despite the poor conversion)).
It's not all doom and gloom of course (and before you say it - I AM a PS2 owner).
Metal Gear Solid 2 is on the way, we're getting Virtua Tennis 2 (which potentially could be the best game on PS2) and some other dark horses including Ace Combat 4 are looming on the horizon.
I'm sure that some of you will disagree with me and that's fine but I know that of the games I have that there are only a few that I can proudly show off.
When you consider that I did that with around double that amount when I had my Dreamcast, it really is a surprise.
Let's have the backlash then.....

Should be getting World Championship Snooker 2002 shortly.
I can't stand snooker and I couldn't stop playing the Demo that came with Official PS2 mag a couple of months ago.
Great game (playability wise anyway). It reminds me of when I first played Virtua Tennis. Don't like Tennis much but loved the Sega title.
Still really getting in to XG3, looks gorgeous and man do those bikes get fast!!!

I would like to add an essential purchase that you missed out (ssxpro mentioned it) Resident Evil CV maybe its a DC conversion but its one of the best PS2 games so far along with GT3 and SSX(awesome but a bit old now dont you think?).
By the way, loads of awesome games to wait for in the coming months.
Cant wait.

I dont think the quality of games are up to standard either. BUt it will be sorted within the next two months. I have three top quality games on pre-order, and i may even get more.
This topic will sound soo stupid in 2002.
