The ps1 has had some great releases such as Driver, crash bandicoot and Metal Gear solid but now it’s time for Sony to take a step up in Video game land. What’s this step up in the video game land I hear you say? It’s the ps2 of course.
Fact1: what the ps2 has that the ps1 doesn’t.
The ps2 has a hell of a lot more. For one it has Internet capabilities, which allows online gaming.
The Internet is going to be huge for Multi-player gaming.
Sony decided to take advantage of that fact, and so they should ‘cos if they want to compete with the GameCube and the Xbox when they come out or they’ll be left in the gutter to die!
The over-all gameplay!
I’m telling you the overall gameplay is something special, especially with GTA3 that’s on sale now, boy what a cracker of a game.
I think we’ll be in for a rare treat with this awesome console and who knows rare themselves might even make a game, I don’t know about you but I’m certainly looking forward to rare making a ps2 game. If that doesn’t wet your appetites I don’t know what will.
Fact 2: Graphics!
With the ps2’s huge capability’s we should see some damn good games in months or years to come.
The graphics in GTA3 really shows of the ps2’s awesome power. There’s already been some good looking originals that have been confirmed for release such as project Y. I haven’t heard much about project Y but it sure looks awesome so far.
Controls: Sony decided to stick to the same style of controllers as the ps1. But the controls are difficult if you’ve been glued to a n64 for so long, but if you previously had a ps1 then you’re ok, but otherwise it’ll be a new challenge for you.
Fact 3: The ps2 is also capable of playing dvd’s and what’s more the quality doesn’t suffer because it plays games as well, so Lights Camera Action!
Will Sony make any consoles in the future?
Who knows, with shigsy recently taking over Sony they might already be working on another console.
If they do I’m sure it’ll be just as good as their other consoles.
What features might it have?
Probably a modem of some sort for online gaming. It seems as if a modem comes as standard with consoles these days.
I’d imagine it would also use CD’s as most consoles do nowadays.
It might even have some new features that we haven’t seen in a console yet.
But I’m afraid my merry gamers that we’ll have to wait and find out.
Thanks for reading!

True but Sony havent been making consoles for as along as some of the other manufacturers!
I guess they just made it dvd compatibale so that if poeple got boared of playing the games they could watch a dvd intseat.
But like every other console the PS2 Will have it's ups and downs.
Besides it's only been out for a few months don't you think iy's a bit too soon to judge it?
They've made up for any inconveniences with GTA3!

It's terrible, the PS2 has been out for ages and only now is it taking advantage of it's powers over the PS1. So many games were still being developed for the PS1 and released at full price to buy for the PS2 (since they work on both) that gamers have been cheated by the PS2. Yes it plays DVDs but so does a DVD player and they are quite cheap now. The PS2 took to long to use most of it's abilities to the full and now newer better consoles are coming out which intend to use every bit they can get (see what I did there?). Playstation also cheated PC gamers by making GTA 2 not as good as it could have been if developed for the PC alone and then by delaying the release of GTA 3 for the PC. GTA 3 is what GTA2 should have been really. I only hope that the PS3 will not be backwards compatible so that developers have to use the power that is available to them to compete.
