Playstation2 Console: the amazing 128bit super-console features dvd video playback, DVd rom, audio cd and compact disc compatibility. the new super console also allows you to play original Playstation titles, as well as playstation2 titles. if you have a scart tv you will get superb dolby digital surround sound, but if you don't have a scart then you can use the tri wire connectors (Red, white and yellow one), if you don't have that either you can also use the same connector as your psx/ps1 uses (100% exactly the same as your psx/ps1). There is an expansion bay at the back of the console for a hard disk drive/broad band network combo drive (or so i've been told). you are able to connect it to a cable modem using "usb", but BT don't have the phone lines yet, but they are in the process of putting in the new lines. the playstation logo on the disc drive can be rotated to match the way you position your console (horizontal or vertical). So all I can say to Microsoft & Nintendo is beware!!!
Overall Rating for the PS2: 10/10!!! (an excellent super-console)
SSx snowboarding: this is a fun to play game, but bear in mind that it is a pretty hard game. after you have achieved a gold in all the levels you will get two bonus levels that are amazing!!! in one of the levels you are in a place with virtually nothing but pipes and more pipes, but as for the other bonus level, i haven't really tried it, but i will keep you up to date when i get on to it. there is also a TRAINING Session, and when you complete levels you get new boards and characters to use.
overall rating for ssx: 8/10 (a very good game)
Crazy taxi: the original version of crazy taxi was meant for the dreamcast, but as we all know the dreamcast was basically dead in the water. now sega has brought out this amazing game for the ps2!!! with better graphics than the arcade version this is a very good game. the only bad point with this game is that there is no two player option on it, just like the dc version. one little draw back won't keep this extremely fun taxi game from selling million world wide and is the 2nd best game out on the ps2!!!
overall rating for crazi taxi: 7/10 (a fun game, but no two player mode)
timesplitters: this first person shooting game is not for the faint hearted, with zombies that need to be shot in the head or they won't die to normal people that die with a single shot. this is more of a strategy game than just a mere shooting game. for instance if you don't think ahead you'll be dead before you know it. if you like a mix of shooting and strategy this is the game for you.
overall rating for timesplitters: 6/10 (a good game but lacking a theme to it)
Ridge racer v: this is a great game just like the other ridge racer games but now its back in 128bit on the ultimate super-console with razor sharp graphics you'll be playing this driving game till the cows come home. the two player split screen is more fun than ever with new cars and tracks. the steering isn't sensitive enough when you get the game so you'll need to adjust it to suit your needs, if your looking for a top class driving game but don't want to wait for gran torismo 3 a-spec, and don't like formula one racing then this is the game for you.
overall rating for ridge racer v: 7-8/10 (a good game, but dodgy steering)
Playstation2 Vertical Stand: The Stand is not an essential accessory to the console, but it makes the console stand out much more than ever before. £10 is o.k. for a piece of equipment like this. It really complements the black stripes of the console and supports it much more, but as with all things it can still be knocked over, but to knock it over you will need more efort.
overall rating for the playstation2 vertical stand: 6/10 (Makes the console look better than it already does but not an essential accessory)
