I think I'm gonna bite the bullet...

I *hope* to be receiving a nice bonus at the end of the month, thing is, I've got pretty much all the Dreamcast games I'm after this Xmas, I said I'd wait a while before I bought one, but what the heck, it's only money, it's there to be spent :)

You've guessed it, I've found a couple of places selling
PAL PS2's WITHOUT the preorder hoopla. I'd be paying a little over
£300 for it, but to be quite honest, I only thought of purchasing one when I see Smackdown 2 on the PSX. Weird I know.

So, c'mon on then PS2 owners, I *hope* to have £500 burning a hole in my pocket and I need your opinions ;)

Timesplitters? Any good?
SSX? Believe the hype?
Tekken Tag Tournament? Worth buying?

Thinking about ISS, but not entirely sure at the moment.

Cheers all!

Me too - I got it as a 'quote of the day' in an email yesterday. So I thought I'd nab that :)

Thanks for your help guys!

I've already got DOA2 on Dreamcast - don't really play it that much to be honest. Think I'll give that one a miss.

I've heard mixed reactions towards Timesplitters - some like it, some don't.

SSX is very good but a little shortlived in my opinion. I got sick of it after a week and a half.

ISS is THE football game its great and reflects the beautiful game well.

TTT is brilliant and definately worth getting hold of. Although as someone said in a previous post you might prefer DOA2. I havent played it so I cant comment.

The same applies for Timesplitters. I dont know anyone else near me with a PS2, so unless I buy the game myslef I dont get to play it.

I think SSX is the ultimate game around on any console, and probably will be until March when there will be loads of good PS2 titles.

TimeSplitters is also great, I love the level design, and the multiplayer. As for it being hard, its easy enough for a beginner to get his/her teeth into, whilst giving really keen gamers a real challenge to complete on the harder difficulty settings.

Tekken Tag seems good, but I would recommend the above 2.
As for ISS, its football, so forget it.

Yes, but difficult. (Well, I think so)


> SSX? Believe the hype?

Best game out at the moment! So good it should be supplied with the machine, IMHO.


> Tekken Tag Tournament? Worth buying?

Definitely. But you *might* want to try DoA2 (when it's released) as well, in case you have a preference.
