I owned only XBox (no PS2 last gen)and it was one of the reasons I came back to Playstation .It was one of the most regretful decisions I made in console buying.I only liked Dead or alive 3 and Prince of Persia sands of time.i

last gen, the game that made me most jealous with PS2 was god of war.When I saw the trailer for God of war I wanted to throw my Xbox out of the window.I owned ninja gaiden but the game lacked good story big time and it was unforgiving hard,,,like you had to be a freaking nerd(meaning you had to play it 4 hours everyday) to get pass chapter 10.All in all I only had 8 games last gen lool.

Well have you picked up God of War and God of war 2 to play on your PS3? I am assuming your PS3 is BC. You can always get a PS2 for dirt cheap and buy the games you missed out on used game section at local Video game store.

Any game on PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP is a good game.

XBox besides the games you just mentioned other good games on XBox included: Splinter Cell games Halo, Ninja gaiden Black, Doom 3 and a couple other good games that I have forgotten about.

I only picked up God of war II due to time constraints.I loved it,,,great story ,fun and brutal game play,it's the genre that I like t.(hack and slash with good story).

 

But I have to add that my Xbox did not have any problems .Ps2 seems to have some problems . 

 

 


god of war defined the ps2. But i had to buy a ps3 to play them, my ps2 couldnt for some reason.

I'd actually agree with cnet on this one, techincally it was the best:

1) Hard-drive: became standard on HD consoles since

2) Online: Forced the competition to provide competent online gaming services

3) Easy to Mod: Where as PS2 only provided the means for pirates to play pirated games and PAL regions to get games earlier, xbox provided a multimedia experience (and of course the same thing the PS2 did in terms of pirates)

4) Triggers on controller: yes the first controller was a spaceship, but it did pave the way to the best controller this generation: the 360's. Changed the way we played shooters and driving games.

And by the way, sales = most successful but doesn't mean it's the best or else the PS3 would be the worst console of this generation (even though it's subjective which console is the best).

For me, the games is what matters and that's why I have a PS2.

ps2 was the most succefull console off all time how are you to say that its horrible??



Rock_on_2008 on 15 May 2008

XBox of last generation did not have the hardware issues that have haunted the XBox 360. 360 without hardware issues would be around 25 million mark, word spreads like bush fire. We do live in the cyber world where information is freely available online for people who need to research a product before making a purchase decision.

I loved my Xbox, the first thing I did was mod it and put in a larger harddrive, not to pirate games, but so that I could load every game I had on there. I could access every game I owned without having to take out a single disk (I didn't play online at the time). Also, load times were faster using the HD.

I also put all my NES and SNES games on there too, so the size didn't bother me, since I basically had 3 consoles in 1.

It's the worst console I've ever bought.


Agreed.  I was never more disappointed with a console than I was with the Xbox.

Keep your superior hardware , I'll pick better software support anyday.

I personaly hated the XBOX , it was one of the most underwhelming gaming experiences i've ever had.

why, its easy to say that espacially when it sold just 25 million copies, but why was it so bad. It didnt play your games? was it costumer service? games? its size? i want to know how was it so bad?
