This question is on a lot of peoples minds, which game do you think will win the crown of best video game to this date?

GTA3 was a gaming masterpiece that gave us out and out fun and full on gaming excitement, most people who own a ps2 will have a copy of this game in their collection and most of you will play this game on a day to day basis enjoying the thrills and spills of life as a gangster in the infamous Liberty City.

The graphics and GTA3 were spectacular and Rockstar and DMA delivered something that no other gaming company has given us before! Night changes to day as we battle are way through a gangsters life and the real time weather effects took our gaming tastes to another level.

The radio stations in GTA3 were done to perfection whether it be Chatterbox where mad people ring in to discuss crazy topics, or Rise fm the trance station the delivers banging tunes with a club feel.

Some people protested that we will never get bored of GTA3 and i think i am with them on this one, the game contains endless entertainment and over the top gangster fun. The game is definatley not for children as the content looked and played like something out of a x-rated movie.

Overall GTA3 delivered brand spanking new experience that gamers world wide (except austraillia LOL) loved and enjoyed and still do to this day!

Metal Gear Solid 2 is yet to be released here in the United Kingdom but it is getting a lot of people talking about what a new gaming experience it will bring to our ps2'.

Gamers take control of Solid Snake an ex-SAS officer that is going under cover to reveal the truth behind the prestiduce and contraversial Metal Gear! The game deilvers just like the first Metal Gear did on the psone in 1999 and is sure to be a huge hit.

The graphicvs in Metal Gear Solid 2 have taken gaming one step further into the gaming future and they will have the same effect that GTA3 had on us when it was released in the October of 2001. The weather effects are superb and the background textures are as smooth as a 'babies bottom'. The character design has been taken to another level and the A.I of your enemies has never hit such a groundbreaking stage, enemies can now spot your shadow or hear you move as you run for cover in the nearest locker.

The music in Metal Gear Solid 2 is the most compelling yet in any game and is done to near perfection. The sound effetcs are also done to a high effect, you can hear your enemies radioing for help and backup and you can also hear them talking between themselves.

Overall Metal Gear Solid 2 (as we have seen in the demo) has taken gaming one more step into gaming bliss and when the game hits on a full release on March 8th gamers nationwide will be rushing to grab hold of this superb title.

Both GTA3 and Metal Gear Solid 2 have changed the way that we game, but which of these titles will take the crown on the most ultimate game ever created, am i missing a game to add to this list of 2 games? Is there a better game than these 2? If so i would love to know which one because i certaintly want it in my collection. Let me hear your views on the greatest game of all time and which game will rule th gaming universe for many years to come. Thanks for reading!

However it was the compleat opposit with MGS2, it felt that the effort that I gave it was pointless and a compleat wast of my time and effort. In other words nice visuals but a HORRIBLE MESS OF A GAME!!!!!! AS BAD AS THE FIRST MAYBE EVEN WORSE!!!!! should have a big stamp on it DO NOT GO NEAR IT NEAVER MIND BUY IT!!!!!!!!

See now this guy knows what I'm talking about, you keep playing and giving all that effort but in the end you just keep playing hoping that something better is going to happen butit never does.

I wouldn't call it a horrible mess of a game but I really thought that it should have been better.I also kinda liked the first MGS.

Anyway I don't think this guy played it because they won't let you spend £ in the U.S. but maybe he has. I'm not one to say if he has played it or not.

The only thing with most ps2 cut scenes is that the graphics arn't that much better than in game graphics, i enjoyed ps1 cut scenes because the graphics were amazing compared to the in game graphics, now it feels that i would rather play the cut scene.

what are you on, you are looking for a big impact because you have just arrived but you are crazy, if it is as bad as the first which i loved then the game will rule. the only reason why it hasn't done well is because of the long cu-scenes but i love CS so the game will rule!
