Sony Play Station 2 Review
Where you can buy it
The Sony PS2 is available in a few retail stores. As previously stated, the Sony PS2 is becoming outdated, so it is getting harder to find in stores. If you look on the internet and eBay, though, it is quite easy to find one in good condition and it usually comes with a few games.
What it looks like
The PS2 comes in two different models. One is the standard size, which is pretty thick and has a disc tray that slides out. The newer model, appropriately called the PS2 slim, is very compact hand has an upward opening tray. The standard color is a Matte black finish. It is nothing special to look at, but it serves its purpose.
How it works
The PS2 is very simple to use. All you have to do is read the manual and setup will be a breeze. When I installed mine, there were only 4 cables to plug in. You just plug it in, turn your TV to an alternate mode, turn on the console and you are ready to play. All you have to do is insert a game disc and you will be having tons of fun in minutes.
Pros
- Compact machine, blends in with surroundings
- Easy setup
- Easy to use controls with multiple controller support
- Many different games to play
- Console can also be used to play DVD’s
Cons
- Most games require you to buy a memory card
- Graphics are becoming outdated with release of new technology
- Hard to find games for when shopping in a retail store
Games available
Any game that you can think of is available for PS2, if you can find it. Some of my favorites are Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Resident Evil, Manhunt and Scarface.
Final Verdict
Personally, I love my PS2. It plays all the games I want to, it is very reliable and has never needed any fixing. While it is becoming outdated, it is still compatible with some great games and will offer hours of fun. I strongly recommend getting your hands on a PS2 and you will see exactly what I am talking about!…..
