I'm thinking of getting this for the ps2, either this
and/or FFX2. Anyone have this game or read any reviews that
could shead some light on the new PoP?

ign was glowing about it.. I saw a commercial for it .. it
looks real cool. it might be one of those games I buy before
playing.

i was wondering about this too. i used to play the old DOS
version of prince of persia a lot in the early '90s. it was
really a lot of fun and an update of that could potentially
be one of my favorite games. i'm getting myself a PS2 for
christmas after having been out of the "games" scene since
'94 with my SNES. anyone want to compile a list of PS2 games
i should check into? my favorites are stuff like donkey kong
country series, mortal kombat 2, nba jam, super mario
series. i already got the GTA double pack and plan to get
some old stuff like resident evil (which one should i get?)

sorry to get so off-topic.. but i know a lot of you are game
nerds so give me some advice

I'd like to ask your advice on something.

It's INCREDIBLE. Among the best 2D to 3D transitions ever.
It's a bit easy though... I've never been able to beat the
original Prince of Persia but this one isn't tough, aimed
more at casual fans. Still awesome though. I'm definitely
getting it for Christmas. Jaw dropping graphics and you can
do a million little acrobatic moves and techniques. I played
the Xbox version, I heard the other ones aren't as pretty.

Travis- PS2 games to get-

Metal Gear Solid 2- feels like an old school game with new
school graphics and a great story. Safest bet.

ICO- really atmospheric and ambient exploration game,
nothing else like it.

Resident Evil- Code Veronica- I'd recommend REmake and
Resident Evil Zero over this... maybe the best looking games
eve... but they're for Gamecube. This one is great too, the
longest and probably hardest.

Castlevania- Lament of Innocence- I just got this the other
day and it isn't perfect, but it's ludicrously fun, it's 3-D
but it feels just like a 2D game, full of action. I don't
know if you've played Symphony of the Night (one of the best
games ever made), but this game feels like that, great blend
of action and exploration. Great music and Gothic
atmosphere.

Final Fantasy X- d'uh. Haters don't like it as much as 6 and
7, but fuck them, they don't know what they're on about.

Devil May Cry- fun action game with some RPG/adventure
elements... ultra stylish but it's got substance.

Splinter Cell- I think this game is incredible, but you
really have to like spying and sneaking and trial-and-error
gameplay, it gets insanely hard sometimes. Nothing like
those games you listed but worth trying.

Silent Hill 2-3- must have, some of the moodiest games ever
made and pretty much a no-brainer if you like Resident Evil
3. And ambient soundtracks that are right up there with
SAW2.

Half-Life- generally considered one of the best first-person
games ever, so if you haven't played it for PC you can get
it for PS2 for peanuts and it's worth every penny.

NBA Street- b

NBA Street- because you like NBA Jam. Excellent game.

Dozens of others. And there's Mario/DK platform games like
Rachet and Clank, Jak, but I'm not into them.

It sounds like maybe you'd like Gamecube better though.
That's the more old school of the platforms... or maybe even
Gameboy Advance. Even though it's handheld, it has just as
many 5-star games.

Devil May Cry 2 is a bit better, methinks.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is fuckin wicked.

I thought it was pretty disapointing. Most of the moves and
weapons are style over substance, look cool but have no use.
And the bosses were completely helpless. The game was just
way too short and easy. Maybe I expected too much, it's
still OK.

thanks jay! i should've known you'd reply in this topic and
help me out. the PS2 is definite as i want something that is
more popular (and thus compatible w/ other people's game
collection), going to stick around (gamecube is showing
signs of trouble), and plays dvd's (does gamecube do that?
i'm not sure).

is NBA Street (haven't heard of this..) better than the new
version of NBA Jam?

another game i forgot to mention was the CD-ROM game Quake
from '96, i loved that game

nba street gets old after like 15 minutes, i wouldnt get it.
resident evil code veronica is good but i dont know,
resident evil usually gets obsolete by the time the next one
comes out. res evil 4 will blow the others away. after i
beat re games, i never play them again but theyre fun while
they last.

devil may cry has little substance, its ALL flashiness, its
actually pretty boring after a while too. resident evil is
way better i think.

prince of persia does look good and has gotten great
reviews. i might get it, but i also might rent it first, ive
really changed my video game habits as of late.

i beat the original :p took me quite a while though.

Games these days are generally shit. Back in the day, they
were fucking hard to finish, now you can do it in like, 3
days max. Its a shame. Fortunately though, you can play
online with a lot of games, which adds to the value tenfold.
I just bought manhunt on ps2, after i couldnt find a decent
game for PC. Its good, but its not AMAZING. Nice and gory
though
