Well it won't be considered as madness. It will be called good marketing, but has anyone else noticed that PS2 has got an advert for almost every game that will be any good this Christmas.

So far I have seen

Pro Evolution Soccer
Resident Evil : Code Veronica
Devil May Cry
Tony Hawk's 3
Silent Hill 2
Jak & Daxter
Grand Theft Auto
SSX Tricky (the best advert)
Top Gun
Crash Bandicoot
and even World Champ Snooker 2002

Has anyone seen any more or are these all off them?

I've seen the FIFA one now. 3 times in one night. Starting to get boring already. I think the SSX Tricky one is the most shown advert. It was the first PS2 advert that was not strange that I saw and it is still being shown evey day. It is great though. Such a good one. :D

Cant believe some of ya aint seen the FIFA advert, its probably the most played out of all the adverts. They still advertising it now, even a month after release.

MrMatrix is right Tony Hawks is better than Airblade. In Airblade there are 6 levels and you have to complete all the tasks in one go. You need to do tricks to keep your boost up as if you dont you move slower than a snail. The game doesnt push you to do any really amazing tricks, you only need basic tricks to complete the game. THPS3 and SSX Tricky are two examples where you have to learn how to do the hard tricks. I havent got THPS3 yet as thats a christmas present, but in Tricky you have trick books to complete. Each character has a trick book which has 30 tricks in them. When you get about half way through the book the tricks get hard and can take quite a few mins to get right. Any of these two games will be better than Airblade. But Airblade does have some amazing graphics but gameplay is what matters and it can keep up with either Tricky or THPS3.
