jediduo Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I have played Gran Turismo 2, and am completely hooked. The only problem is that I was borrowing a friend's Playstation, and now I can't play it anymore. So I can't decide whether or not I should go out and buy a system and the game just so I can play it. In my opinion, it is the best game I have ever played. What do you guys and girl think? Help me! Actually, if anyone has another suggestion of a good racing game, please share it!

Clefo Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Well you could get a PS2 and buy GT3, but if your budget is light then you should buy GT2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 GTA2 was also on the PC, just so you know....it may be hard to find, though edit: oh, wait...GT2...oops....just woke up, forgive me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talldudeX Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I think you can just get a used playstation for around 30 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 You should get a PS2 and check out Gran Turisimo 3: A-Spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediduo Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 I've already played A-spec, and call me crazy, but I didn't like it as much as 2. I loved the concept of buying a USED car and souping it up. With A-spec you can't do that. The only thing you can do with the 18 grand they give you is buy an f'ing VW Beetle!

Surfnshannon Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 hum...my boyfriends brother has Grand Turismo 3 for PS2. Its pretty fun. His brother is reaaaly good and he has won a lot of the cars. I'll have to look at it again. The thing about a Ps2 is...you can play PS one games and PS2 games....soo that's pretty tight...and it can play dvds and such. I think it even makes the PS one games look smoother. If I were you I'd invest in the PS2. They have gone down a lot in price and the games selection is HUGE especially since it includes Ps1 and ps2. But...if your tight for money...go with the ps one. There are a lot of great games for it and I bet if you looked in the paper you could find a reaaaaallly cheap one. Or ebay watever! I still have my Ps 1 and love it....planning on a 2 after money allows ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 As soon as I get enough money I'm hopping on the Xbox bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 i'm reluctant...they don't have many games out for the xbox yet. You would think they would since it is much easy to make games for the xbox than a ps2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talldudeX Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Yes but they are releasing a whole new line up...can't wait for project ego! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would since it is much easy to make games for the xbox than a ps2. But its much more profitable to make games for the PS2. Its the market leader by a long shot.

Rogue Nine Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 The DOA series makes Xbox all the more worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Ah the XBOX, soooo much better than the ps2...the 8 gig hard drive does it for me (don't have to buy all those silly little memory cards). Loading so is so much faster! I love my xbox and one of the reasons that so few games are out now is that Sony tied up a lot of developers in contracts so they couldn't do anything for the xbox until they finished with their ps2 games.

jediduo Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 I was a fool... I bought a gamecube. The only games I like for it are super monkeyball and Super Smash Brothers melee. So far, 'Cube doesn't have any racing games to compare to GT2/3. My parents severely restrict what I can and can't play, and for how long. I don't even know if they will let me buy a PS One.

Jatt13 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 hey, gamecube's good! it doesn't have the same type of games that xbox and ps2 has, but it's games are good. 2 new games i plan on getting are Animal Crossing and Cubivore. both are types that have never been seen b4.

Jatt13 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 i think he means it's b/c there's tuns of good games coming out by the end of this year. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Time Splitters 2, Conflict: Desert Storm, Star Fox Adventures, Metroid Prime, Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2, the Legend of Zelda, Evolution Worlds, and many others. did i go a little crazy?

talldudeX Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I am yet to play super smash brothers melee, but if you ask me all of those new systems are pretty good on the same level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediduo Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I appreciate the help, Jatt, but none of those really interest me except for Time Splitters, and mum and dad won't let me get any first person shooters. Needless to say, I can't wait until college. The only games I really like are the quick and easy kind, with lots of replay value. Like SSB Melee and Monkeyball. I can't really play adventure games like Zelda because I have a time limit on how long I can play. I can never get to a good stopping point before I am ordered off. *J-Duo screams in frustration* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Super Smash Brothers Melee is easily the most enjoyable multiplayer console experience I've had in a long time. I am swift death with Roy and Marth. For a Metroid fan like me, getting a GC is justified if it means finally getting another installment of Samus. I've been on a kick recently, playing NBA Street for the GC. Strangely addictive, especially when you get MJ, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant on the same team.

Surfnshannon Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 i played the Starwars game for it the x wing one...I think. Pretty fun! The GC is pretty smooth I really liked that a lot. But see a long time ago I bought an N64 and quickly realised that was the wrong investment! I already had a PS 1 and loved those games more than the 64. I think I own 2 games for N64 and a whole lot of PS games. The one thing I don't like about PS2 is the loading time. God it takes forever. I played the Simpsons one the other day....MY GOD. You could slip into a coma waiting. Everytime you started over or ran out of time...it had to load again. Ridiculous! So the x box doesn't have so much wait time?? that would be awesome. I hate waiting to play games. I want it NOW. Down with lag time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 It's not as bad as the PS2 load times. The GC's load times are the shortest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
