Is it just me or do Sony games run solely on image? Take a look at the PS1 for example, what 'Classic' games did it have? Crash? Spyro? Yes, back in the day there were some good gaes, but none that I can look back on with great memories and call it a 'classic'.

Now with he PS2. What great games has it got that aren't out on other consoles? GTA? Jax and Daxter? I honestly can't think of anymore that I would consider buying if they came onto my hallowed Cube.

And don't start slagging me off for having my own opinion.

I was just saying. I wanted to write, I wrote this. Wherelse could I put it besides this forum?

Maybe so, and tht's why I want it on the Cube

No. On the cars front I prefer fake names. I prefer them in football games too. Sensible Soccer was worth buying solely because of its team names and plyers.

*Plays with Matches*
Improved, but didn't do much more NEW did it now? It could have just been an add on pack to the first one, much like GTA - London.

Primal What? And SOCOM doesn't look or sound like anything which would interest me.

> Kingdom Hearts?

A game I'd consider getting if it was on the GC, but aren't too bothered about.

Super Mario Sunshine anyone? And Zeld + Metroid both seem to be getting great reviews and both tickle my fancy.

It was very good. Ratchet and Clank is like it, but x10. R&C is a classic.

In what way at all was it a let down? Because it didn't have real cars, or CG cutscenes? Vice City improved on just about all of GTA3, and anyone who says it's just a rehash can go play with matches. It's fun, and it's a classic.

And if PES2 and GT3 don't tickle your fancy, how do Primal and SOCOM strike you? Kingdom Hearts? What exactly is on the GC or XBOX that you consider classic?

It was very good. Ratchet and Clank is like it, but x10. R&C is a classic.

Sorry but it's my opinion, and I am sticking by it. I pleaded because I knew that somebody would come at me saying 'Nah, Nah, PS2 iz da best and Gamepub is stupid. Me n me crew will kill u m8'

I used to love Spyro, and bought t because it was good platformer. Just not a classic.

I didn't really enjoy GT3, but then again, racing isn't much of my thing. PES2 is GC bound. GTA3 is a classic, but VC was much of a let - down. Ratchet and Clank is a game I really wanna see on my GC. I'd never buy a PS2 for it though

2) Sony games don't just run on image. If that was true nobody would have bought Spyro ;-)

3) There are plenty of classics on the PS2 - GT3, PES2, GTA3 and VC, Ratchet and Clank....

1) Why make this post? It's not really asking for any feedback, just rubbishing the PS2 and asking for an argument. To plead not to get flamed at the end is stupid.

Now with he PS2. What great games has it got that aren't out on other consoles? GTA? Jax and Daxter? I honestly can't think of anymore that I would consider buying if they came onto my hallowed Cube.
