This is a bit vague, but I want to spend my Christmas money on summat nice. I was thinking of, wait for it, a PS2 game, but having not bought a magazine in AGES, I dunno what's good and what's not.

I like driving games best, so I was thinking of WRC 2, but from what I remember, the first one had pretty fuzzy graphics, very strange, skiddy handling and because of the handling, was damn difficult. Should I buy it? Why so?

Jak and Daxter looks a wicked game, but I usually don't like games like them because of the weird camera angles, and way you just die from massive jumps. And apparently its only £20? Should I buy it? Why so?

Tony Hawks 4? I always hated the two minute time limit idea, but on second thoughts, it was so fulfilling when you got the Sick Score in Los Angeles, and when theres no time limit there won't be any high score challenges and stuff. And from the pictures there seems to be a lot of fog. Should I buy it? Why so?

Any other suggestions for good games? Chances are, I won't have it, so any games, but can you also say why they are good?. Ta.

Trust me, you don't want to get into an argument with Hercules about SmackDown! 4. I found out the hard way yesterday. Just say you will buy it, saves a lot of time.

Oh and I would say buy WRC II as it is brilliant. I didn't play the first one so I can't comment on any improvements but it is ace. The official PS2 magazine (the one with the demo each month) say that the best driving games on the PS2 are GT3 and WRC II. They aren't wrong either.

Tony Hawk's 4 is also brilliant, I have it on my GC and it is way better than number 3, the levels are huge and with 190 goals it will last you ages. And not having a time limit vastly improves the overall gameplay.

Both are great choices, you can't go wrong with either of them.

I've got GT3 and I have to agree, it is the best driving game ever. I can't stand wrestling, Hercules, so I'm unlikely to get SD4. Any others though?
