ok i'm not the biggest video game player in the world, but i got a PS2 for Christmas and i need some advice on games...i'm not into much of anything else besides sports and racing games...i have espn 2k5 now and that's all...i plan on getting ncaa either 2004 or 2005 (i've played both a lot and i tend to prefer 2004)...but i need some advice on other games you guys enjoy in the sports/racing category...thanks, i love you always, lenny

Burnout 3 is a must.

Gran Turisimo 3 is a good one for a realistic driving experience and should be fairly cheap as its Platinum now

anything in the tony hawk series...these games are seriously fun as hell, even if you've never skateboarded

also tiger woods golf is amazing

I don't even like golf, and i stink at the game. But i still play it all the time because it is so fun. It is a definate must

which one do you have? i have 2004. theres an infinite amount of replay value. the game has a 10 year long tour with a 4 day tournament every week. so thats over 2000 rounds of golf!!!!!

tiger games are a joke... let's see... ive had the game ('05) for a couple weeks and i played 2 tourneys in the first season... i created a guy and simulated to the second season to try and win a grand slam... shot -55 at the masters, -38 at the usopen, -63 at the british open and i am currently -38 under through 3 rounds at the pga championship...

can i get some realistic gameplay please?

Get GTA Sand Andreas and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater

GTA San Andreas. This game will suck you in and never let go. If you have a family or a significant other, you may need to sacrifice sleep to play at night.

I have '04, and to me there is no reason to buy the new one because I'm still going with that one.



Well maybe you shouldn't create a player that is so good, or play with a real player that isnt very good.

how about baseball games?

the game is a joke once you max out your players stats...but for that first season or two, its not that easy

Baseball has never really translated into good video games like football or hockey. But i think your best bet would be to go with MVP from EA. I'm pretty sure there is a thread about it somewhere.

the big problem is spinning the ball while it is in the air... if they took away that feature, it would make the game a bit more realistic.... though, the pros end up at like 35, 36 under once you start playing with Tour Difficulty...

also, i JUST maxed out my player in Round 2 of my latest tourney, so all the other tourneys i wasnt maxed out in... they need to make the courses longer, tighter fairways, faster greens, and no spin after you shoot (make the player set spin pre-shot)....

but i still play the game, so it must be halfway entertaining

mvp is pretty sweet...

and yeah, i agree that football games are always the best games adapted for video games... basketball hasnt been nearly as exciting since Coach K for Sega (?) years ago... man, my friends and i never played a game as much as that one

nba jam is like the last basketball game i remember enjoying...then again i'm not much of a video game player

PS2 has great games but i hate the controller, it is very uncoomfortable for big hands people

hot shots golf fore just kills any tiger woods game..it is with made up guys and ladies..it mixes real golf physics and stuff with foofy stuff..its a lot of fun

when you unlock the ny gamgbanger chick, golf with her, shes the best one





i just finished san andreas (not at 100%, but all the interesting story parts)..hes right..it has so much, and its beyond cool..one of the best games ive played ever..

other suggestions....

nba live 2005 - great hoops, got cheaper ($30), the 3pt shootout is incredible

worrld championship poker - fun, good computer ai..has lots of different types of poker including texas holdem..a good way to practice for when i play friends for $$

madden of course

mvp baseball 2005 - 04 was amazing..ill buy it day 1 (3/1)

grand turismo 4 - unbelievable accurate racing game..like 500 cars (2/20??)

nba/nfl street - very fun to play, but get easy

red dead revolver - may be cheaper by now - great cowboy game
