Now.. for the real review :)

GRAPHICS: 8/10
The graphics of the Playstation 2 are amazing. Here is a misunderstanding. Just because the Xbox and Gamecube are capable of better graphics, it doesn't mean that ps2's graphics are bad. Games like Jak 2, Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy X-2 really show what the PS2 is capable of. Overall, they are great.

GAMES: 10/10
The playstation 2 has the biggest and greatest game selection out of the 3 current next generation consoles. Any kind of game you like, you can get. What kind of genre do you like? Fighting? RPG's? Platform? Adventure? Action? Sports? You rule the choices. It doesn't matter what games you are into. You can find anything you want :)

EXTRAS: 10/10
Again, the Playstation 2 has the most extras out of the 3 systems.
PS2 Extras:
-DVD Player
-CD Player
-Backward compability with the Playstation 1.
-Online Capabilities

Good luck choosing a system, and happy gaming :)

Great system, but has a few problems (Rating: 4.00)
Review : The PS2 is an awesome system. It has the most games, good online gameplay, a good controller, and good 3rd party support. It would easily be 5 stars if not for a few glaring problems.

Pros:

Most games out of the 3 (Gamecube, Xbox, PS2) systems

Excellent Controller

Good 1st party games (Ratchet and Clank 1 and 2, Jak 2, Socom 1 and 2, ATV Offroad Fury 2, and many others)

Good exclusive 3rd party games (Final Fantasy X and X-2, PS2 gets new GTA games first, Devil May Cry 1 and 2, and a lot more)

Easy to setup and use online capabilites (with Network Adapter)

Can play DVDs, CDs, and PS2 games

You can play all your favorite PS1 games! (relive classics like Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Ape Escape, Pa Rappa the Rappa, Spyro 1, 2 and 3, Crash Bandicoot 1,2, and 3)

The system looks sleek and has a nice design

Cons:

The system is not very durable. If you drop it or it falls off a table, you might have to buy a new one. (while this might seem like common sense, I have found that Xboxes and Gamecubes can take a much worse beating than a PS2)

Systems start being unable to read discs (the infamous Disc Read Errors) with no abuse. This is a huge problem because there is only a 90 day warranty on the system. After that, you either have to buy a new system or send it in to Sony to get it fixed for something like $100. My friend's PS2 stopped reading discs last week, and he kept good care of his PS2.

Other than the very prevelant Disc Read Error problem, the PS2 is a great system. It has great games, and is perfect for the mainstream gamer or niche gamer. With so many different games, you'll never get bored playing with your PS2. Sure to be hours of fun for almost anyone.

My favorite system (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I'll give you my rhoughts on all three systems
PS2(Top 3 games:Grand Theft Auto Double Pack/Metal Gear Solid 2/Final Fantasy X
Pros:
Play's DVDs
Plays PS1 games
Plays Cds
Has the best games out
Easiest Controller
usally doesn't cost nothing to get online
Cons:
The worst graphics, but not all that bad
Can have long annoying loading times
Need to buy memory cards
Need to buy multitap in order to have 4 players
What's up with Final Fantasy XI(They wan't $99 for game and hard drive, and pay money to be online every month, they're NUTS!!!!)

Xbox(Top 3 games:Halo/Grand Theft Auto Double Pack/Star Wars KOTOR
Pros:
Best graphics out of three
Best for multiplatform games(Like Max Payne, it was better on this than PS2)
no memory cards
Custom sountracks(On selected game)
The fastest loading systems
The best suited for T and M rated games(My kinda games)
Cons:
The controller is still a little frustrating(And I had the dang thing for a while, I need a controller S)

Xbox live costs a bit, but no that much
So far still behind in games, but it's movin on up!
Too bad it can't burn mixed CD songs on it(Cuz I hate grabbing my regular CDs just to get 1 song)
Have to buy DVD kit to play DVDs
STOP DELAYING HALO 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gamecube(Top 3 games:Zelda:Wind Waker/Super Smash Brothers Meele/Metroid Prime
Pros:
Nice tiny compact system
Good ol fasion nintendo games on a new Nintendo system
50% technology/50%good games
cheapest system
Small controller, but it wasn't hard for me to get used to it
Cons:
Not the best for fighting games, (altho I brought Soul Calibur 2 because of Link, and it worked out)
Must take care of discs or one bad scratch can put it out of commision
Cant play DVDs or CDs, but hey it's devoted to nothing but games
Needs memory cards
Bairly any online games(I only know one, and thats Phantasy Star Online)

This console war stuff is stupid, lemme say it again, it's just stupid. It's just baisicly peple who only have one of the consoles, and are mad that they don't have the other one, so they bash it hoping to stop the anger. Like when people say PS2 has atari graphics, if thats what you see, get some friggin glasses yo! And whoever says Xbox has no games, and says Halo's garbage it's catchin on up, and Halo is so far the best game I've played on any new generation console,and anyone who treats gamecube like junk, they're just missiing out on some of the good stuff. Me I just say get all three, because all of them are very good systems, I don't care if one says one systems better than the other, they're all good!

I love the playstation2!I (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Ok,I dont have it,but I want it BAD!So please buy one!

The PS2 is the best gaming system out right now (Rating: 5.00)
Review : OK. Put it this way. XBOX sucks. Gamecube sucks. For XBOX, you have to freakin pay to play online. for the PS2, all you need is the Internet adaptor. And what the heck is up with the XBOX controller? Its fat and ugly. Plus the PS2 is more compact and easier carry. Plus, you have to pay more to even do what the XBOX is capable of. 30 dollars for a dvd remote just so you can be able to play dvd's on the XBOX? thats crazy. With the PS2, all you need is the PS2 and a controller. Plus the PS2 has a WIDER variety of games to play than both systems combined. Sure the XBOX may have better graphics, but thats it. So hands down, the PS2 is the best system to buy right now.

DVD? Are you sure about that? (Rating: 3.00)
Review : I've never been able to get the play station to work as a DVD player, that is a disappointment, since I get sick of having so many wires in my entertainment unit, and it would have been nice to have one machine that performs three functions. (It plays Cd's quite nicely). That aside, It's a wonder machine that plays not only the new Playstation 2 games, but the older Playstation 1. (who wants to render all of their older games as obsolete?) Even though it would have been nice to use it as a DVD player, and I can't, it is a good machine and well worth the little that it costs. (But beware. . .Playstation makes up for the small cost by charging an arm and then some for the games.)
