Nope, this aint one of them crappy which game shall i buy topics, instead, which game got you onto the Sony console route?

For me, it was Destruction Derby on PS1. At the time this was a class game. My cousin use to come down to my house with his PS1 and this is all i would play on. Despite its bad controls at the time it was a very realistic game. The cars behaved realistic with the way they crumpled and crashed, and the sounds were excellent. Also the graphics were brilliant and this really helped the way the cars were wrecked.

Other than this game it was Tomb Raider that again got me into Sony, we all know how good that game was, just a shame it couldnt be carried on down the series.

So what game got you onto the Sony machines?

First Sony encounter, eh...

*fades into a deeeeep sleep...*

{I was searching the shops for Final Fantasy 7 back in summer of 2001 when I couldn't find it anywhere. So i searched. And i searched. And then, realising that Ill never find FF7, i was happy to settle with FF8. I borrowed FF7 from a friend and FF8 lay unopened for 2 days. Then i thoughtm "Hey a payed £19.99 for that!" and opened FF8. So i guess my first real Sony entrance was FF7. But i liked FF8 better.}

Well, Ridge Racer got me started with Sony, it was class at the time. I used to play it round my mates and I whooped his a.. butt everytime.

DOA2 made me get a PS2 and I still think it's the best beat-em-up for Sony's console.

I...think it was, or maybe it was Wipeout.

One of the two. Then later on, before I got a PS1, I saw a legless, armless and neckless character called Rayman. This game made me crave for a Playstation even more!

Snap! My friend bought this, and I was hooked! I think (though its hazy now) that I got the fire pack from SR, but that could have been my brother... not sure. Anyway, it was initially DD that did it - though I never bought the game.

Once I`d decided it was the console to go for, I bought a few mags, and went for Wipeout 2097 and Crash Bandicoot as my first two games on PSone.

Now that you mention it, the first game that made me really sit up and say 'I have to have a Playstation' was Gran Turismo. Ammusingly, when I got round to buying one, my first game was Final Fantasy VII. In fact, the first game I bought in the GT series was GT3 for PS2. Odd that. :)

I liked playing Ridge Racer at the arcades so got a Playstion with Ridge Racer Revolution, then got Destruction Derby 2 soon after and loved the damage effects with bits of the car flying everywhere. I used to block the track with my car at the narrowest point and cause a massive pile up of cars.
