What the best game on your chosen platform?

Damon · 23 Apr 2002, 19:20 (Ref:268738)

Right I'll get the ball rolling. I've got a PS2 and there are really 2 games vying for the best on the console GTA3 and MGS2. My vote goes to MGS2 and heres for why.

Metal Gear Solid 2 combines stunning cinematics with outstanding gameplay and unbeleiveable graphics. Whilst some argue that it is too short, I have currently played the game through 6 times which encompasses nearly 80 hours of grade A game play. I have played all the main missions of GTA3 and thus completed the game. This took me around 40 hours and now I am bored of it.

MGS2 is the best game I have ever played as an experiance, and I've played and loved Half Life. My question is does anyone think another game topples it on any other platform?

Im a poor bum with only a PS

and my Fav is TOCA 2

cos it has the best realism, good graphics and good racing

and its hard for most ppl - My first game was TOCA 1 so i learnt Racing games the hard way

Well, my machine of choice atm is the Xbox, And my fav games for that are:

1. Gotham Racing
2. Jet Set Radio Future
3. Halo

PS1 = CMR2

PC = SCGT

Damon · 23 Apr 2002, 21:32 (Ref:268901)

Markules, does Halo live up to the hpe its been getting? Looks like a bit of a no brain shooter to me.

sorry, i cant pick one out of my very small and selective game titles

DNQ · 24 Apr 2002, 10:39 (Ref:269215)

PC - best games

1. F1 2001
2. Jedi Outcast
3. FIFA 2000

Damon · 24 Apr 2002, 12:52 (Ref:269352)

How about letting us know what games are in you "very small and selective" range then Es Nes...

pablo · 24 Apr 2002, 16:00 (Ref:269501)

Dreamcast- F355 Challenge, MSR, and TD: LeMans

Playstation 2- MotoGP 2, Gran Turismo 3, and Armored Core: Another Age.

I know that is more than one, but I like more than one.

Damon · 24 Apr 2002, 16:47 (Ref:269537)

Have you played MGS2 Pablo?

Es Nes · 24 Apr 2002, 18:07 (Ref:269600)

the ps2 games i own -
mgs2
ea f1 2001
lemans 24 hours
ffx

i dont play ffx anymore because it was boring from the word go and just got worse.

Damon · 24 Apr 2002, 20:11 (Ref:269760)

Your a lucky guy living in the US. We don't get FFX until July, although I won't be buying it anyway. The whole series has always appealed to me about as much as putting my head in a vice!

my thoughts on the game.

On easy level it's a bit brain dead, but later on, you will need to develop tactics to deal with certain foes, asgoing in all guns blazing will see you butchered like a stinking hog.

Wrex · 24 Apr 2002, 22:39 (Ref:269884)

PS2:GT3 (only game I have)

Nintendo:Perfect Dark

PS:CM2

PC:Grand Prix 3

Still play all of the above

25 Apr 2002, 04:02 (Ref:270005)

PC: GP3, GPL, No One Lives Forever

f1manoz · 25 Apr 2002, 04:27 (Ref:270009)

PC:

Racing: GP2 (Still haven't got GP3, F12001 isn't great and I need a steering wheel to get maximum enjoyment from GPL)

Sports: NHL 2002 (I love it

)

Action: Command and Conquer: Renegade (Great game but needs plenty to run it)

pink69 · 25 Apr 2002, 09:38 (Ref:270120)

GT3, need I say any more!

AllonFS · 25 Apr 2002, 10:18 (Ref:270193)

PC: GPL, and hopefully in the next few months; GTA3, TOCA Racing Driver and Le Mans v1.5. Also check out Stronghold a great little medieval castle wargame - great fun for those non-driving moments.

f1manoz; not sure if they do it down under, but the Thrustmaster wheel (made to look like a Ferrari wheel with a yellow prancing horse) works well for GPL. No force feedback, but a good feel and here is priced about £40.

I have and got probably half way through it and just got bored, I don't know why. I loved the 1st one and played through it 3 times, my wife even watched and we played through it the 1st time together. I just couldn't get "into" MGS2, I thought it was awesome and great but the FMV sequences killed it for me.
I'm more of a race and sports gamer anyway. I did like Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, and I love the Armored Core series.

man

Damon · 25 Apr 2002, 15:06 (Ref:270418)

MGS2 does seem to have a love or hate following. I didn't play the 1st until after I'd done the 2nd and thought the first was pretty rubbish compared to the second. I too am normally more of a driving freak. GP3 is the only game I've ever had which I'm still playing 18 months after release.

andrew_marsden · 30 Apr 2002, 18:50 (Ref:274640)

PC:Baldur's Gate (the WHOLE series)
PS:TOCA World Touring Cars
N64:Perfect Dark

hypo · 3 May 2002, 07:06 (Ref:277122)

PC : Grand Prix Legends -until V8 Challenge comes out (I HOPE)
PS2 : GT3 (havn`t got GTA3 YET)
PS1 : Tony Hawks 2

bart_jacobs · 20 May 2002, 20:53 (Ref:290821)

I do not play that much games but here are my favorites
Fallout 2,F1 Racing Simulation,Star wars Galactic Battlegrounds

as for MGS2 I also played it until half but I just got bored with it,just as for pablo,the FMV spoiled it.I think MGS1 was better cuz it was the first time that they made such a game.

I think that GP4 will be the best Racing game ever !!
