PS2 Game Library Fall 2003

[Perfect Stu]

WOW

I've been playing a bunch of games lately...testing out the finest of this year's PS2 Game Library

Quick Impressions:

Tiger Woods 2004: Addictively fun. Great multiplayer game, made my create a golfer look EXACTLY like me.

SSX3: I loved SSX...and I think this game is about twice as good. Seriously, an all-around gem of a game. GOTY contender.

Jak 2: A new breed of platformer. Incredible graphics, interesting missions, tight controls. Good job Naughty Dog.

SOCOM 2: It's SOCOM, a game I loved, improved upon in every aspect. Tons of maps...replayability is through the roof. Haven't even touched single player...online play IS the game.

----and I got to play a little of Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, which was absolutely stunning...same with Prince of Persia. Both will be on my Christmas List -----

Anyway...add your thoughts/comments/impressions here

Prince of Persia is amazing. It's ICO with a good battle system. Everyone must play through this game.

Jak2 is excellent, I enjoyed it tremendously.

Beyond Good & Evil is awesome, it's somewhat like the newer Zelda titles, and it's absolutely stunning to look at.

Castlevania is good fun, definitely a well transition into the 3D realm for the series.

Final Fantasy X-2 is surprisingly great. Loved the demo, getting it for Xmas.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but there's plenty more that I haven't played yet like Return of the King (which looks awesome). PS2 owners should have a merry Christmas indeed.

Jak2 is very good.

SOCOM2 is very good, but I cannot play online too often because my internet sucks the big one.

EA Sports 2004: sweet as hell, except NHL2004 truly sucks.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence = Ownage :P

SSX3: Every should own this game. If you don't like snowboarding, you will get into it after playing this. Every angle of the pentagon is here.. Great gameplay, kickass music, cool characters, awesome presentation, and a lasting appeal that will knock your socks off. Plus, it's online, to boot. Definitely a good one to have under the tree this year.

DDRMAX2 (US): All the previous fun of DDR wrapped into one. Perfect for parties.. and the added soundtracks and the music videos are awesome. =D It's just a bit more expensive than a normal costing game to buy the pad with it, but it's worth it. You'll lose weight if you play every day. I am.

FFX-2: This is going to be one that I'm probably getting for christmas. So far, I've heard tons of good things about the job system. And this game has hot pants. =D

Meh, I rented it. It grew old in the couple of days O_o. I feel if you've played anything like Tony Hawk or any other "tricks and races" game, then this game isn't much new. However, I did enjoy its presentation for awhile. The ESPN2 sort of feel. That is... continual obsessive viewing/reporting. I'm not much a fan of the music though. That is, unless there's music genres I didn't hear while I played it.

AHHHHH!

Way too many good games. Way too many.

My PS2 List:
Suikdoden III
Castlevania Lamnet of Innocence
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando


And thats not counting the games I want for the GCN, like Prince of Persia and MM : DD. Its going to be very hard eliminating this list down to 2 or three games that I will get for Christmas.
