The PlayStation 2 (lemmy.world)

Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What's not to love about this legendary system?

What are your experiences with the PS2, what were your cherished games on the console?

Despite it being the weakest of its generation, you cannot deny they managed to craft some excellent games out of it with work arounds.

What are your thoughts?

In terms of games, Kingdom Hearts and Guitar Hero were highlights of my childhood.

I thought the Dreamcast had the weakest technical specs of that generation? PS2 was also earlier than other consoles in that generation, so slightly lower specs makes sense.

Dreamcast was killed off so early and didn't run alongside the others for most of the generation, so a lot of people consider it as more of an in-between system. Maybe not to someone who actually owned one, but given how poorly it sold the majority probably didn't.

Guitar hero for me was a 360 thing. I've always wanted to go back and try out the PS2 ones though, just not had the hardware.
