The Online aspect really was the game. I never got past hard mode in offline, but I got to level 134 online.

True. We even bought an adapter along with it, we WERE going to play it online. Until we decided that we hated the gameplay. The walking was too slow, the aiming sucked, the levels were very boring, the story didn't interest us.... We did a bit of 2-player and my bro solo'd a bit, but I don't think online would have really justified the buy for us.

I admit those were my downfalls originally too, but how could you have passed up the free month? And I heard for Europe it was more than a month.

Seriously though, there was something right with online. I ended up making every mag makeable.

Oh yeah, we also didn't have the connection back then. We had broadband, but no router yet...
I don't know, that game never captured my interest. :unsure:

I remember watching Dylflon play it most of the way through, but that didn't stop me from playing through myself three times.

I don't think it was underrated but I definitely don't think it was overrated.

WRRRRROOOOONNNNNG!

Anywho, I got mine for Christmas, 2001. First games were Rouge Leader, Smash Bros Melee, and Luigis Mansion.

Best game hands down is Metroid Prime. I highly disagree with Stonecutter on both accounts, but especially Metroid Prime. To put it simply, Metroid Prime is the best game to come out since Zelda OOT.

Me and my bro went halfers on buying the Cube around the time Animal Crossing came out. I think that was the first game we had for the system.

We mainly buy and play multiplayer games such as Soul Calibur II, Markio Kart, Wario Warez, Mario Tennis, etc.

We mainly just use the PS2 for our one player games.

Wow, yes I remember. On November 18th, I woke up at 4:00 AM in the morning with my best friend and we went over to Wal-mart. My Wal-mart only had 12 in stock, and I figured that more people would be at the Target down in Delaware. I was lucky enough to find that only 4 other kids were out waiting for it. They apparently went out at 3:00 in the morning. I think one of them was an albino too..but anyway. It was a glorious day. I had already purchased Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader, and my mom bought Luigi's Mansion for me when I got the system. I haven't had a lot of time to get an extensive collection, but it is a quality one with many games involving Nintendo Mascots. Nintendo is great, and I hope that I will be able to get a Nintendo Revolution.

I know that when it came out I didn't know it was coming out. And I don't own it now. I like it though, much fun has been had with it over at Dylflons with his brother.

I'm looking to round out with my collection with:

Cubivore (why can't I find this anywhere AT ALL)
Ikaruga (See: Cubivore)
Resident Evil 3

Sonic Heroes (non-players choice)
Sonic Adventure DX (non-players choice)
Sonic Mega Collection (non-players choice)
Shadow the Hedgehog
PSO Plus
Star Wars: Rogue Leader III: Rebel Strike
Virtua Quest (this one is tough because nobody has bought it. In turn, nobody can sell it used for real cheap. It remains the bloody $40. I'll never buy it until it hits $5)
Virtua Striker 2002 (I've only ever seen this in the states, and it was $49 every place I saw.)






Also, does anyone remember Dead Phoenix of the Capcom 5? I still remember, that's the only Capcom 5 game that I was initially interested in. I couldn't have given a crap anymore about Viewtiful Joe at the time, I wasn't interested in RE4 really, PN03 looked generic, and Killer 7 looked boring.

Now I own the entire Capcom 4 and they're some of my favourite games. Funny how things work.

I'd be reluctant to buy Shadow the Hedgehog. It didn't fare well with IGN.

You might want to add Prince of Persia, Spider-Man 2, and Incredible Hulk.

Spider-Man 2 and Hulk are both GTA style mission/free roam games. Prince of Persia was really well done. I never completed it but you can tell they put effort into it.

There are a ton of Cubivores on eBay with an average price of $32.
