We went and bought PlayStation 2 few weeks ago. We've been playing quite a lot, it has turned out to be a good buy. It wasn't very cheap, especially as we bought a cordless controller (I highly recommend the Logitech Cordless Controller, it's much superior to the default controller). Still, PS2 was our first choice, mostly because of the wide array of games it has.
The first game I got was Gran Turismo 3 - that one was a no-brainer. However, it lacks proper rally mode, so I got a used copy of WRC 2 Extreme to satisfy my dirt road driving needs. That's what you get from being Finnish, I suppose. It's also interesting how I couldn't care less about motor sports, but I just love driving games.
Our only game together this far is Jak & Daxter, which is just about the best platform game I've ever played. The world is fantastic, the freedom of travel is great and the problems are mostly interesting. We've only had to check few more difficult parts from cheat guide. We've been playing the game together. First we played pretty much equal amounts of time, then I played more when the game became a bit too difficult for Johanna, but now she's improved and plays the game as well as I do, if not better.
I also got Zapper to review (yeah, I started immediately doing PS2 game reviews) from KonsoliFIN, which is a Finnish game web site. Zapper is a good game for children, but for adults - well, I blasted through the game in less than two hours. Too short!
