"YOU decide MoJoMan's fate"

OK, I decided to empty my bank account into getting a PS2. There's a couple of games that interest me, but it's mostly going to act as a CD and DVD player.

Anyway, as a big (sucking up) thank you to SR, I'm buying from them, and I'm going for the PS2 Firepack, along with MGS2. Anyway, I have £20 going spare, so I'm going to get a budget game too... but I can't for the life of me pick one. Here's the list that SR has, as well as my opinion on them


JAK & DAXTER (PLATINUM). (RATED 96%) Don't like 3D platformers

GRAN TURISMO 3 A-SPEC (PLATINUM) (I-LINK) 90% Don't like racing games (especially the GT series)

WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (PLATINUM) 9/10 Don't like racing games

WWF SMACKDOWN 3 JUST BRING IT! (PLATINUM) (TAP) Getting SD4 when it comes out, no point in getting this

TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT (PLATINUM) (TAP) I hear it's pants, but so far it's looking the most likely candidate. I loved Tekken 2 though

TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 3 (PLATINUM) 96% Number 4 is almost out, and I got VERY bored of #2 after about 10 minutes

RESIDENT EVIL: CODE VERONICA X (PLATINUM) Never been into the Res games

CRASH BANDICOOT 5: WRATH OF CORTEX PLATINUM Don't like 3D platformers

THIS IS FOOTBALL 2002 (PLATINUM) I enjoy the occasional game of Fifa, that's about it as far as football games are concerned

STAR WARS: EPISODE 1: STARFIGHTER (PLATINUM) 9/10 Hear it's pants

SSX (PLATINUM) Not really into snowboarding games

ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS (PLATINUM) No idea what this is about, but isn't there a sequel out?

TIMESPLITTERS (PLATINUM) (TAP) Hear it's good, but not great

CRAZY TAXI (PLATINUM) 8/10 Despite being a racing game, I do like the look of this

RED FACTION (PLATINUM) See Timesplitters comment

MOTO GP (PLATINUM) No

DEAD OR ALIVE 2 (PLATINUM) I hear it's good

FORMULA ONE 2001 (PLATINUM) (SONY / STUDIO 33) 8/10 Only one thing worse than a racing game, and that's an F1 racing game

ONI (PLATINUM) Terrible, played it on the PC



So what is a green monkey with a giant brain to do? I can't afford anything higher than a budget game, it's bad enough I have to go without food all next week at college so I can afford this thing

Tell me your opinions on the games, tell me what I should get, and tell me quick! I'm looking to order within the next day or so, before I spend all the money on cheap booze

hmmm, well if you cant decide, you can just give me the money!
: )

I guess I missed something.

Just get SSX or Crazy Taxi.

Get the craziest taxi drive around.. It may bore you after about 3 hours, but its good to whip out ever now and then... Why did you get a PS2?

Crazy Taxi

Jak and Daxter.

He's said quite a few times now that he already has it on the PC.

Red Faction, Timesplitters are the best.

And SSX - oh, SSX.. it's only a snowboarding game by default. Not half as boring, much more interesting.

I'd say, in order of priority.
1. SSX
2. Red Faction
3. Timesplitters
4. Crazy Taxi
5. This is Football 2002

Or add a fiver and get Grand Theft Auto 3 :-)
