Sony PS2 game console as a gift

1. yes
2. generally fine, but it depends on where to get it.
3. Oooo, it depends strongly on tastes. Offhand: GTA: San Andreas, Soul Calibur 2, Mercenaries, Metal Gear Solid 3, etc.

It is worth giving ... Games are full of worthy ones - the seller will tell you ... I would recommend GTA to my taste: San Andreas, NBA Street V.3 and Tekken 3 (so that the two of them are not bored to play) and of course 2 joysticks included.

Thank you, Segal, Samanouske. Then I have two more questions: What is GTA? And is it normal to give a set-top box if a person already has a personal computer filled with all kinds of games?

GTA - Grand Theft Auto. The last part of the game on computers did not come out, and many would like to play. So the prefix is ​​a great choice in this case.

At the expense of the computer and the set-top box - no problem. Most of the owners of consoles also have computers. The games there and there are completely different, so nothing will overlap.

And now on the phone the manager of one computer game store told me that this Grand Theft Auto is incredible and recommended taking the Matrix, the Men in Black and the Prince of Persia. Weird...

The taste and color, I guess. But the Matrix and Men in Black are, IMHO, very bad games. And the Prince of Persia is good, but he is on the computer, there is no point in giving him.

Segal, I believe you more: wink:. By the way, what three discs would you recommend me to buy if I clarified that these should be arcades?

Thanks :) I would recommend ICO, Jak II, Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando.

In general, I recommend looking at [url = http: //ps2.ign.com/reviews/? & T = ign_inc_dyn_reviews§ion_id = 573 & network_id = 12 & channel_id = 70 & constraint.grid.genre1 = Platformer & constraint.grid.sort = score & constraint.grid.sortorder = desc ] this [/ url] list (and [url = http: //ps2.ign.com/reviews/? constraint.grid.score = 9 & constraint.grid.sort = score & constraint.grid.sortorder = desc] this [/ url] and also here [url = http: //www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/simpleratings.asp] this [/ url]), there is a lot of everything worthwhile, and not only in the arcade genre.

It's so good that this site caught my eye! Thanks for the links, Segal! Excellent rankings and, most importantly, clearly.

One more question - where would you recommend buying a Sony PS2, so as not to have problems with the warranty later?

[quote name = "Samanouske"] Would recommend to your taste ... and Tekken 3 [/ quote]
Awesome sensible advice - to buy a PS2 game for PS1, yeah.

[quote name = "Berry"] Another question - where would you recommend buying a Sony PS2 so that you don't have problems with the warranty later? [/ quote] I won't help here, unfortunately. I live in Kiev, I don't understand Moscow stores :(

I would advise [url = http: //www.vgw.ru "> www.vgw.ru, but you can, and probably still better go and buy it on Gorbushka in GamePark

Sorry .. I meant Tag Tournament - I got a little confused with the numbering.

Hmm, why not a word about chipovka :)

Thank Kellz Perhaps I will focus on this proposal - [url = http: //www.gamepark.ru/? Event = 3 & platform = 1 & category = 1 & id = 1072] http://www.gamepark.ru/?event=3&platfor ... = 1 & id = 1072 [/ url]

Tomorrow I'll go to Gorbushka.

More questions from the kettle - what are controllers, a console and a chip?

The console is directly the set-top box, the controller is directly the gamepad or any other control device for PS2, chipovka is the process of installing a chip to remove the protection against piracy, or actually a chip set-top box.
As for the console purchases, are you satisfied with the fact that you will buy games for ~ 1700 rubles? Because the one that you want to buy the campaign does not have a chip on board that allows you to launch pirated games at a price of 150 rubles ... Or you will have to chip the console after the purchase ...

The controller is a joystick, a remote control .. You need 2 of them (if the set includes one, buy another one separately or look for a set with 2 -yya and 2 men for a gift), the console is the set-top box itself. in this case, a black box with the inscription PS2, Chipovka - installation of a mod chip (about 80-100 ye), so that the console reads unlicensed discs for 100 rubles, and not just a license for 50 ye.

Is the quality of games on a prochipovanny console the same as on a license?

[quote name = "Berry"] Is the quality of games on a prochipovanny console the same as on a license? [/ quote]
Depends on the origin of the game (licensed disc or pirated disc).

The console has nothing to do with it - installing the chip only removes the protection when the disk is recognized. What is a pirated copy? - in 99% of cases this is exactly a ripped off copy of the original licensed disc, sometimes they also shove a Russified (not always high-quality) version of the game with translated titles.
So the quality remains practically the same.
In fact, I think the choice is obvious - I don’t think that someone will measure the price of games at 50-70 green apiece in the conditions of Russian reality ... Of all the owners of PS2 on this forum, I met only 2 people buying a license, purely from fundamental considerations, well, and the financial situation also allowed them to hike, the rest are the owners of chip set-top boxes, including me.
