Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-15 Summary: Another Great MGS Game. ... Probably my alltime favorite video game franchise with the exception of the Madden football games. The original Metal Gear was one of the first games I owned for the old Nintendo NES. And even though the kids today would go back and look at that game and laugh, it was still so far ahead of it's time with it's concept and plot twists. This game is the equivalant of watching a great Hollywood action movie. Cutscenes do get a little long on here even more so than on MGS 1 but it does tell a great story with tons of twists. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-01 Summary: Metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty review ... I got this as a gift for my younger brother. He was so happy when it arrived because it completes his collection of MGS Games. This came in good condition and kept my brother occupied for 3 hours or so. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-21 Summary: FANTASTIC!!! GREATEST VIDEO GAME EVER!!! ... This is a fantastic game! It takes a while to get used to (some aspects are a little strange at first), but you will grow to love everything about it. The plot, though incredibely complicated is amazingly crafted and will blow your mind. The gameplay is amazing-the controls are tricky at first, but once you master them you have more control than with most games. The graphics couldn't be better. Besides MGS3, I haven't seen better graphics for PS2. The bosses you fight are great-from Vamp, an immortal vampire to Solidus, ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-01 Summary: One of the Best Games Ever ... GREAT GAME! STUNNING GRAPHICS!!! Sometimes I just feel like staring at the screen and admire the graphics, although I'm being killed by bad guys. The plot is crazy, but, despite that, it actually seems to make sense to a certain degree. It also has great replay values, so definitely buy this if you like replaying games (like me). I think I spent a total of over 40 hours playing the game. Ok, stop reading reviews and buy the game. You will see what I mean. ...more

This game is really something else. the scheme of the battles are quite tactical and where you really have to think whats going on the the game. its amazing how that characters talk during the cut scenes, you really know what is going on. it exceeded past their first game Lunar: Silver Star Story complete. i cant wait to try thw one for the game boy advance!!!!!!!!!!! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-11 Summary: This game is great ... I think that Lunar 2 is a great game. Granted its a little dated, but c'mon this game is classic. I remember when I was 16 my boyfriend at the time was playing it on the Sega CD system. Of course I was just a spectator then, but I always loved watching him play. When the original playstation was released I purchased Lunar Silver Star Story and fell in love with the game, just like Lunar 2 the characters are very individual. You learn to love them for their personalities and their character flaws. I'm a true believer ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-01 Summary: An overlooked gem for the PSX ... I got this during summer vacation w/my work money from filming soccer games at High School. Oh yeah, on with the review: Graphics: Old-school 16-bit for an RPG Sound and music: Nicely done with two vocal tracks on the soundtrack Voice-acting: Crisp and well-done voices by people like Chad Letts, Kelly Weaver, Ned Schuft, John Truitt and T. Owen Smith Controls: Excellent for an RPG Plot: The world of Lunar is on the verge of hideous destruction with the eventual forthcoming of the Supreme Master of Treachery and God ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-06-04 Summary: Even better than Silver Star Story! ... I know I said that Silver Star Story was the best game I had ever played, but Eternal Blue definitely takes the cake. With a climactic storyline, an epic musical score, and even more memorable characters than its predecessor, it makes me wonder HOW the Lunar games aren't sitting in Wal-Mart right now in one of the "BEST BUY!" bins. Seriously, I can't believe such a great video game series fell apart. ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is old-school role-playing goodness at its very best. From the story to the simple battle system, it doesn't bore players with the details that can make newer role-playing games unbearable. No, Lunar 2 won't impress anyone with its likewise old-school graphics, but that's not the point. This game is fun. The story in Lunar 2 doesn't take itself as seriously as other role-playing games, which contributes to the fun. The game's hero, Hiro, and his sidekick Ruby must...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 1999-11-17 Summary: Great live videos and courses. Problems with analog control ... If you like the exotic cars this game may be for you. Opportunites to drive a McLaren, GT90, F50, and Jaguar are exciting. The videos and information on the cars themselves is great as well. Much better than the newer High Stakes version. The game did not operate properly in the two player mode when either controller was set to work in the analog mode. The steering wheel controllers may alleviate that problem, but I do not have one. At this price, it is one of the better racing games out there. I have enjoyed it more ...more
Silent Hill 2

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-17 Summary: A truly horrifying materpeice. ... Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, the best game out of the 6 silent hill's released to far. They have somehow managed to create a truly terrifying game without succumbing to cheap thrills, cliche storyline or anything of that nature. I'll split my review into pros, cons and middle ground, meaning it can be considered both a pro and a con. PROS: This game is truly terrifying. And there is no cut-off age to enjoy it. You may be too young, but you are never too old. All the music is absolutely gorgeous, and is also terrifying ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-28 Summary: Beautifully Atmospheric ... I played this game directly after I finished the first in the series. While it isn't as outright scary as the first game, it effects a nice sense of personal and psychological horror akin to movies like Session 9 or Jacob's Ladder (in fact, Jacob's Ladder was one of the inspirations for the series). The game looks beautiful for its age, and the musical compositions are superb. The characters are well-written and acting for the most part, although sometimes the main character, James, was hard for me to take seriously. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-29 Summary: Great game, but lots of scratches ... Great game, but disc has a LOT of scratches. Doesn't affect game play, but story scenes are choppy and lock up. Kinda annoying, but for the price I would say it was worth it. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-12 Summary: One of the best games ever ... Other people have written some pretty extensive reviews on just how great this game is. I'll keep my review short. This is one of the scariest and best games ever on any system to this date. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: Fun to beat over and over again ... This was one of the first games I beat on the PS2. I found it a couple years ago at EB Games by shear luck. They didn't even have a manual or box for it, lol. Which resulted in getting a Xbox green case. Anyways, about the game. Silent Hill 2 has a great story. Theres different levels to put the difficulty of the monsters AND riddles. I've never seen a game where you could set game difficulty to medium and riddles to easy. Sure the graphics aren't kick a$$ perfect, but for PS2 its pretty good and once your into the ...more

Product Description | With its Poe-like atmosphere, dense fog, pitch-black hallways, and a cryptic letter from a dead wife, Silent Hill 2 promises to surpass the paranoia created by its predecessor, Silent Hill . The sequel opens with James Sunderland, the series' average joe protagonist, and a mysterious message that reads, "Silent Hill, our sanctuary of memories. I'll be waiting for you there." More puzzling is that the note is signed by Mary, his deceased wife. James sets out for Silent Hill hopeful that...more

If you have a PS2 get it for that but if not The PS one is good. Controls are good and the missionsare easy then get harder. The story is easy to follow but still good. The only thing is that the Helicopters that you work so hard to get arent that good and/or realistic. The Osprey shoos unguided bullets and dont do much damage. The Apache wast its 20 bullets fast and the Chinnok just sucks. The king Cobra is the best. If you get ...more

Resident Evil 2
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-12 Summary: Second to its predecessor. ... This is a worthy sequel to the classic horror game Resident Evil. With improved gameplay mechanics,an improved graphics engine,a plethora of locales to explore(as oposed to RE1's single location), and most of all the A&B scenario that depicts the games events from both characters perspectives. Put all this together and that makes RE2 technically superior to it's predecessor.This game has it all but it is more action oriented than the first RE which also makes it less scary. Sorry RE2 you'll always be second to your ...more

This is one of the most "creepy" experiences you will ever have. This game is just plain wonderful. And the two story lines are both great. The one, Claire helping the young child Sherry out of trouble, fleeing via the sewers. The other, Leon, discovering love, teaming up with Ada to get out of Raccoon City. These sad storylines are perfect to the gloomy atmosphere of the game. The game is a complete success in creating ...more

Did you know the following facts about PS2?
These included a PCMCIA slot instead of the Expansion Bay (DEV9) port of newer models.
In some markets it also integrates a modem.
After an apparent manufacturing issue caused some initial slowdown in producing the new unit, Sony reportedly underestimated demand, caused in part by shortages between the time the old units were cleared out and the new units were ready.
Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
The PlayStation 2 was such a hot item after its release that it was near impossible to find one on retailer shelves, leaving those wanting a PlayStation 2 to either wait or purchase the console online at sites such as eBay, where the console was being sold by many people for twice and sometimes five times as much as the manufacturers listed price.
The two versions of the PS2 with an Eye Toy camera.
It was not until late 2001 that the Microsoft Xbox became the second console with (non-standard) USB and DVD support.
In September of that year, in time for the launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (the best-selling game during the 2004 Holiday season), Sony revealed a new, smaller PS2 (see Hardware revisions).
In preparation for the launch of a new, slimmer PlayStation 2 model (SCPH-70000), Sony had stopped making the older PS2 model (SCPH-5000x) sometime during the summer of 2004 to let the distribution channel empty out stock of the units.
PS2's opening day console sales eclipsed the previous record of 225,000 made by the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.
There are also some disputes on the numbering for this PS2 version, since there are actually two sub-versions of the SCPH-70000.
To this day, the PS2 holds the record for the most consoles sold in a single day as well as the record for most consoles sold in launch day in America.
