Is a PS2 a good game console?

Answer 1

It is just an "OK" console. It is going out of fashion and many stores don't provide many games for it anymore. I have a child that has a ps2 and I usually find games online. And here's a tip, the commercials you see on the tv, that make new games look so awesome, may be awesome on an Xbox 360 or ps3, but suck on a ps2. For example, my child had Madden 09 for the ps2, but all of a sudden, they came out with Madden 10, and it looked so awesome on the commercials. But they get you, because they show you clips of the game, but they are clips from the xbox 360 or ps3. So your children (who like football or any other games like that), beg you and beg you to go buy it for them, and it turns out that it sucks; that its nothing like what they thought it was. I don't recommend buying games for a ps2 anymore, but that's just my opinion. Instead of buying new games for the ps2, you might as well start saving up money to buy better consoles such as the wii, xbox 360, or ps3. In about 5 years, its going to be a classic, and then you can sell it on eBay to a bunch of video-game-attics; that is, if its in good condition. It was a great console in its day, but they made it obsolete. Only "certain" ps3's play ps2 games now, and they cost more. So, you buy your child all these ps2 games through the years, and now you have to spend twice as much money buying all these new games to work on the ps3, xbox 360, or wii. And whats even worse is that the games are twice as much as ps2 games. Overall, I would say that a ps2 is OK but I wouldn't recommend buying new games for it, save up and buy a new console.
