PS2 or XBOX

Post time 14-5-2004 09:38 PM | Show all posts
I would say go for PS2 if you like to have bigger libraries of games. Besides PS2 games are cheaper than Xbox.you can get PS2 games around RM4 each whereas an Xbox game would cost you around RM7 or 8. Xbox is good if you want to play online games. That's where Xbox excells. But im not too sure if you can play using pirated games using GameTunnel or pthers like Xboxlink. Make your decision wisely coz you are going to spend a lot.

Some of the PS2 games that are fun to play.
PS2- Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater,
     - Gran Turismo 4
     - Killzone
     - Driver3
     - Final Fantasy series
     - Onimusha series
     - DMC1 & 2

     - Loads of platformers, racers, sports, rpgs, simulations, FPS, fighting, puzzle, horror, survival, violence, fun
I don't think you can go wrong with PS2.
Wait for Microsoft to make the next version of console. In the meantime, get a PS2. :clap:

urm, Onimusha is only for ps2? even the GBA has Onimusha Tactics.. Xbox has Genma Onimusha which is similliar 2 Onimusha 1 with some add-on..


I'm sorry for the mistaken facts,I knew that Onimusha is available on xbox and pc too.What I meant is the "periodic exclusiveness" for the Onimusha series on the ps2.PS2 always got the series first and then after 1 or 2 years later,then it will come to other platforms if Capcom feels like doing it.

Later...

Hi JC

everywhere you go to a forum this day, there's always somebody raising a question, PS2 or XBOX (or GC )

Just want to ask u this, what games are you interested with ? Then do a little reading on what tittle is exclusive to which console eg : Gran Turismo series on PS2, Halo on Xbox, or Zelda on GC.

One advise, dont judge console by its graphic prowess.You may get a good looking games, but if the gameplay sucks, so what is the point of having good graphic anyways? :hmm:

As for myself i got :

>> PS2 : where i play GT, and WE (shootoo!!!)
>> GC : i play VJ and pokemons (GC games are fun)
>> GBA : Fire Emblem and Advance Wars for me baby

So do a little research & make a decision based on your preferences

Happy gaming

The Xbox is a much better console than the shitty ps2.Titles like Panzer Dragoon Orta(still my fav),Doa3,Ninja Gaiden,RallySport Challenge 2 will testify to my point.

lol vixen, at least the shitty PS2 have games like Gran Turismo 4, Metal Gear Series, Final Fantasies, Tekken Series, Onimusha Series, Front Mission 4,  and so many others on it.

But im looking forward to get myself an Xbox coz i want to play Halo2, Splinter Cell PT, Mech Assault2, SW Battlefront, SC Ghost, Riddick, Driver 3, most of all I want to try Gamespy Tunnel or XboxConnect to play online.

hi vixen, from what i read of your post here i can safely assume that you love your x-box so much , and i respect that. but imho, to compare PS2 graphics to xbox's is just not fair, its like comparing a proton car against a bmw car (proton & bmw are both cars).

PS2 was launched in 2000 whilst xbox in 2001, so microsoft has one year of technology advantage over sony.if you look at xbox's specs, you can tell that it is actually a PC with a controller, hence the graphic prowess it posesses.

What will happen when sony launch PS3? and then people will start comparing it with xbox.....and the cycle never ends. and suddenly Nintendo release a console that far superior than PS and xbox.....ohh well, one can only hope:lol

My friend in mypdacafe always tell that be the fan of games not console.As for my experience, the only reason that i bought ps2 was Gran Turismo 3. Then i was hooked on Rogue Squadron, so i bought GC and for my loyal companion GBA, a joyful distraction for me on my daily commute to work.i was thinking of picking up xbox myself, but still waiting if TOCA 2 is good enuf for me.

so support games ! not console !:

Yes please go ahead get the Xbox and then you will realise how crappy the ps2 truly is in comparison.Try out the games that I mentioned too.

Hello Evo.
Love the Xbox? Not sure.Hmm..wonder how could anyone love an inanimate object? Anyway,I wasn't just talking about graphics/specs.My opinion is not just based on a technical viewpoint.The quality of the games,I meant.

err..I'm pretty exhausted with all this console feuds and I am not about to get into one.If you were in this forum long enough,you would know what I am saying.

Don't worry,the xbox2 will be out,probably much earlier,to combat the PS3.Then people like me will be comparing the Xbox2 to PS3 and make the Sony whores hate us.The cycle just goes on and on....

Yup,it's the games that tell me that the Xbox is a much better console than the ps2.

Games like Ninja Gaiden,Panzer Dragoon are reason enough to own the Xbox,so what are you waiting for,dude?

Xbox pulak... turun kot.. depends kepada towkey kedai itu..

Ok..I have both the Xbox and PS2...if you ask we which one is better...camnih...

PS2...DVD playing capabilities right out of the box. Bleh main DVD movie, be it D5 or D9 lah. games..standard aa murah je skang nih. recommended kalau u kaki tengok movie, rather than playing games. Also recommended for entry level gamers, or those looking to upgrade from PS1.

Xbox...modified versions do have the right out of the box DVD playing capability, but i heard of Xbox owners having problems later on. You see, Xbox requires a DVD dongle or sorts, only then can it play movies. As for the games...safe to say that's its superb in terms of graphics, but then again this depends on the games.Uh, and no Devil May Cry. Then again, if you have money to burn, what the hell?

As for GC, i dont think i can give any opinion, pasal aku takde lagi.
