As with the original console. The 'PS2' was too expensive on launch, and the early games were nothing special either. I eventualy got One at a reasonable price complete with the games 'Devil May Cry', and 'Pro Evolution Soccer'. The leap from 'CD ROM' to 'DVD ROM' was not as great as 'Megadrive' to 'Playstation', but the graphics were noticably better none the less.
This was turning out to be a smashing machine, and I soon added a few more games to the collection, and also borrowed 'Silent Hill 2' which was excellent. Other games of note were 'Resident Evil Code Veronica X', and 'GT3'. There were also dissapointments in the shape of 'Tomb Raider. The Angel of Darkness', and a boring 'Scrabble' derivative. The former suffered from poor controls, why the latter was cheap and cheerful with the emphasis leaning more towards cheap. I played a few other odds and sods, but great games were getting thin on the ground. Just as the console was looking a little tired. A shining light was to befall this great machine One more time. This turned out to be 'Resident Evil 4'. A slightly different take on the old series of games, but better for it. Good gameplay,controls, and graphics all made this an instant classic.
