Everyone says that the launch games for PS2 were poor, right?

Well, that's half true.

Kessen is a very poor game, as well as RR5, and a few others.

Yet, such games as Tekken Tag Tournament, Smuggler's Run, that Athletics game (dunno what it's called {:)), SSX and F1 World Championship 2000, are all lauch games or early release games, and they're all perfectly good games.

In my opinion and most people's opinions, TTT and SSX are brilliant games. Although some say 1080 is better that SSX, I disagree, as I've played both. Some say Soul Caliber is better than TTT, but they're both great. I've played both, and TTT wins it for me, probably becuase I loved the previous Tekkens.

Anyway, the Athletics games is a good game, apart from the button bashing gets repetitive, but all athletics games are like that!

Also, Smuggler's Run is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It's really a mixture of Driver and Crazy Taxi, both which are extremely good games.
Some may disagree, but everyone I know loves Smuggler's Run, and I'm no exception.

F1 World Championship 2000 is the best Formula 1 game I've ever played, and that's saying a lot, as I have quite a few F1 games.
This is mostly because of the graphics and updated drivers/teams, but this game really doesn't have any faults.

Anyway, people say that 5 still isn't enough. But look, who has the money to buy a PS2, and more than 5 games?!?

I have 3 games, and I think they're all great, so I don't care whether Kessen or RR5 are rubbish, because I have these games to play on.

All I'm saying is that the PS2's launch games weren't the worst ever, and a few of them are actually excellent games!

This is just my opinion, as well as many other PS2 owners', and this is not a dig at any other console or console owner, I'm just putting my opinion out.

Thanks for reading, Ant.
