More PS2s have been sold and PS2 has more games.

Halo is as everyone said a first person shooter, with outstanding graphics and decent physics.
It was one of the first titles for xbox that got released from a small studio called Bungie Studios. Microsoft was so impressed with it, they bought it.
Halo just is really an average FPS but with some decent twists, nice weapons, and big maps. It is fun to play.
Recently, the sequel came out, with an added online multi-player, some updated weapons. There is a big craze for it because for some reason people who think it's the new gaming crack are on crack and don't realize how it's not that great of a game.
Everyone just gets Halo2 for online multiplayer because the first one lacked it, and honestly, it is a lot like the first one.
EDIT: Yes, you can draw a comparison with Golden Eye except add vehicles, bigger maps, and alien enemies.

So has anyone played Metroid Prime?

i'm considering buying one of these gaming consoles too. i was pretty much set on PS2, but this Halo thing sounds really good (we would play 'goldeneye' for hours in college).
Originally posted by DLA:Microsoft bought bungie about 2 years before halo was released. It was initially going to be a Mac game. It follows on from the marathon series.
Again, no.

Originally posted by SalParadise:the online play is very much like playing games like godeneye with people in the same room. Using the headset and being able to talk shit during games is great.

You need to have high speed internet though…

Originally posted by Member 656:Yeah, but for adventure titles, wouldnt the gamecube be a fair choice?
Not many worthy exclusives on the Gamecube.
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:Yes!

Great game.
It's the only thing I still play on my Gamecube.
Originally posted by Member 656:I concur. The sequel looks similar to the original in terms of graphics quality, but they've added a multiplayer game, which gives it some more depth.

I personally own a PS 2 and a Gamecube, and I can honestly say that I rarely if ever play my PS 2 anymore. Both are good systems, but if you're looking for adventure/rpg style games I'd probably go with the Cube. The new slim design PS 2 heats up too quickly from what I've heard, and while it may not have all the games that PS 2 would make available to you, they're banking more on quality. Some good titles:
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Tales of Symphonia
Eternal Darkness
the Resident Evil series
Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2
Paper Mario 2
Soul Caliber 2
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (downside: I think you need a Game Boy Advance to play this one)
The Metal Gear games
If you're into import games, there's a lot of good stuff coming out across the ocean that never gets released here as well, and all you need is a freeloader to boot the games on an NTSC based system.
Good hunting..
right now the gamecube seems to be the place to start for me… and as xmasie says with what these things cost these days there is no reason not to also consider an xbox at a future date
what about the joystick; who still plays with that??
My wife, if I'm a good boy.

but seriously, if you have the ps2 . . . stay away from the new game "fight club"; man, does it suck. they waited this long to release a game after the movie, and this is what we get? dorky, tekken ripoff.
there are fantastic games for each system, however if you are willing to wait you will be able to get the new xbox2

i have an xbox and am happy with it, however there are quite a few titles that are only for playstation, wich i belive is microsofts downfalla, then again microsoft only wanted a part of the market, and did not plan on making any money for at least 5 years. so i predict that the games for the xbox will only get better, as microsoft trys to get a slice of the pie
