Cool! Fun and some decent songs., 26 Aug 2008
Wow! This is the best PS2 Game ever!
When I first played the game I was rubbish but now I have the postions memorised so I can play really well on Easy. The guitar is light and a reasonable size so it is easy to learn. The gameplay involves looking at the screen and pressing the right buttons, for example a green circle means you press the green button. So it's very basic.
The graphics are pretty good, 3D and fast. The clothes for the people are a bit wierd but I like them. I was expecting all the people to be male but to my pleasant surprise there are quite a few girls. I'm a girl and a lot of games aimed at boys that I buy have NO girls. This game is good for both genders. Yay!
The songs are mostly from the 60's and 70's but threre are a few up to date ones. A few. But, I like most of them after a bit. I tend to prefer songs from now. I love the Guitar Battles in Career mode. Especially Slash from Guns n Roses. Also against Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Lou, who I think is a fictional person. After beating him you become "A Rock Legend" which is cool.
I've never tried Multiplayer because we don't have another guitar but it looks fun.
The only down side is the guitar costs loads. But once you've saved up for a year it's ok.
All in all it's a brilliant game so BUY IT! It's addictive, it's cool and in general, great. Get out there and play.
You Rock!
An Addictive Fun Game, 07 Aug 2008
A very addictive game and fun to play to.
good points
- A fun game
- Very addictive
- The controller looks cool
- When you do a song you can never do but do it it feels great
Bad points
- Sometimes some of the buttons are faulty. But it dosent trouble you too much. I reccomend looking after the controller.
-You have to work your way through you start out with only about 8 songs. I reccomend only going on practice and career.
I rated this 5 star because its a great game and the buttons only go faulty once youve had it for about 4 months if not they wont go faulty!
It rawks for the old and young alike, 02 Aug 2008
I first played this around my friends house, and i instantly became addicted, i have never been the musical type and have never actually achieved to play an instrument in any coherant manner.
And to say the first time i played this game i got kicked off in about 30 seconds.
But then i tried again, and i aced it. Once used to it is fun and addictive, and you don't have to be good at ANY instrument to make a killing with it.
It starts with a good choice of songs that builds up into a fantastic amount. And you can ignore all those people moan 'well i don't know any of the songs', i'm 17 and i knew basically all off them, i was even able to sing along to half of them during (much to the despair of everyone else).
But i decided the most fun you could have with it is with another person, so i ordered this second guitar...
Brand New 10 Fret Button PS2 / Playstation 2 / PSone / Rock Guitar for Guitar Hero / Heros I, II, III, 1, 2, 3
It just stepped up the game play by making me look really cool by sliding between frets, and thats what this game is about, showing off to other people.
It's also brilliant for the elder generation, as they do have some older classics on that appeal to them, and you'll soon have your 80 year old grandmother headbanging and jumping around with the guitar.
An excellent buy and i recommend it to EVERYONE.
Thanks for reading.
Rock it on, 26 Jul 2008
I recently took grade 5 guitar exam and passed with a distinction i know this game helped me improve finger changind speed and techniques
If you play guitar buy this game
Give me back my sanity!!!!!, 25 Jul 2008
Bought this the other day for my 11 year old son (and me,when he's at school) great fun game if a little on the difficult side, but I've now got an 11 year old rock god living in my house, which as been turned into a jam pit when his mate comes round with his guitar and their both at it!The wireless guitar is notches above the old wired one and gives so much more freedom. Am now checking out al the previous versions of the game, Slash watch your back!

No imitations please..., 13 May 2008
I've tried other controllers for the PS2, and in the end there is no other controller quite like the Dualshock 2. The buttons on other controllers often require quite a conscious effort to use them, but the Dualshock 2's analogue buttons are actually analogue - press lightly and you'll get one response, press a little harder and you'll get another, and so on. The Dualshock 2 seems to last as long as any other controller and is simply better quality, so there's no real competition there.
As for the usefulness of a Dualshock 2 now that the PS3 is out - the Sixaxis controller bundled with the PS3 doesn't have rumble functionality, and a Dualshock 3 with rumble and Sixaxis tilt sensors will currently set you back quite a bit compared to a Dualshock 2 (which has only the rumble). You need a PS2-PS3 converter to use a Dualshock 2 with a PS3, so this part of the post is more for those whom already have either the converter or the Dualshock 2.
Superb., 20 Dec 2007
Not much to write about this, 5 Stars explains it all; Brillant design and very family friendly, minor improvements would be need but have been made with the PS3 controller Six Axis Now out.The SIXAXIS controller, now wireless, is the same design with minor improvements with the L2/R2 buttons travelling further. Better feel, espically with FPS games.The controller is very stable and Untill Xbox360 Controller came out, leagues ahead of the other controllers, 5 Stars well deserved. Overall Rating 10/10!
King of Controllers?, 12 Jun 2007
I have been using the traditional PlayStation style pads since the launch of the PSX back in 1995, and believe that this standard revised in the DualShock 2 controllers was a great asset to the success of the PlayStation 2; the quality of the pads are consistently good and above all are ergonomically sound, and simple to become accustom to.
Over time however the pads become noticeably more and more unreliable - as with all equipment, but in comparison to other console brand controllers the DualShock 2 controller does wear a degree quicker. Accidents do happen I'm afraid and dropping a DualShock 2 can easily result in damage, considering these are retailing for around £15 to date you would be completely right to expect some better protection within the controller.
Adequate care during use and storage will see the life-span of the controllers increase, other than that the vibration and analog control features of the controller are superb, still setting a competitive standard against third-party controllers - its wire length too is suitable to allow players the freedom to sit comfortably away from the screen without being too excessive when it comes to storage. Ultimately the controller isn't perfect, but it's an excellent choice for most players needs.
Red Warning, 04 Jun 2007
My kids thought this controller looked dead cool so when the time finally came to replace a controller I ordered the cool red one knowing the lads would be chuffed to bits.
Well it turned out to be 'pants'. The lead is too short and on some PS2 games it causes the game to freeze. The kids of course hate it!
DON'T BUY IT or like me you'll end up coughing up for another one that actually works properly.
It would also be useful if the gumph about controllers generally mentioned the length of the lead.
Good but too fragile, 28 Apr 2007
I've used a couple of contollers and the official one is the comfiest and easiest to use.
However, and I speak from experience, it doesn't survive being slammed into the floor in a fit of rage. Although there probably isn't one that does so buy this one and take out your anger on something less important, like a younger sibling :)

Product Description
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India. Fans can build, battle and brawl their way through their favorite cinematic moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run. Of course, pop culture's most iconic archeologist will whip through all the classic moments with the help of a host of supporting characters including Marion Ravenwood and Short Round. Players can also mix and match the body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes just as they could in the best-selling LEGO Star Wars games.

I've used a couple of contollers and the official one is the comfiest and easiest to use.
However, and I speak from experience, it doesn't survive being slammed into the floor in a fit of rage. Although there probably isn't one that does so buy this one and take out your anger on something less important, like a younger sibling :)
Another Great Addition!, 25 May 2008
This is another great addition to the singstar series and has a great selection of tracks, as listed by another reveiwer. There has to be a song for every one here young and old.
I'd only wish they would update the format as the menu's and the game modes are still the regulars with no addtions. All in all good fun!

The Ultimate Adventure, 26 Aug 2008
I have bought the previous LEGO games, so I kinda knew what to expect, but this game simply blew me away, this game is similar to the other LEGO games but at the same time it has a lot of new things, like cars, horses, bikes, and so, the levels are huge as usual. One thing that I really like about this game is the diversity of each level, there are not two equal levels. This is a game for all ages, dont be folled by the LEGO title, this game has lots o puzzles to be solved and other many things to unlock.
This is one of those games that everyone should have on their collection, definatly a pearl on PS2.
For True Explorers...., 29 Jul 2008
I didn't rush out to buy this on release as I didn't think the Indiana Jones trilogy would make such a good game as Lego Star Wars:The Original Trilogy (LSW:TOT). Curiosity got the better of me and I bought it (for my daughter of course!) and have been boshing away at it ever since!
It follows the identical format to LSW:TOT i.e. 6 levels per film, story and free play mode with artefacts taking the place of mini-kits, finding and mailing parcels instead of red bricks. The excellent two-player drop-in drop-out mode is still there and works as good as ever. This can cause problems when exploring different parts of the screen or your co-player "accidentally" gives you a right-hander, but arguments are all forgotten when you complete the level!
You get a wide variety of characters - soldiers, diggers, mechanic, women (jump higher), thugees (mystical powers), professors (solve puzzles) and Short Round - for the tunnels! However, the vehicles aren't too exciting, old cars and bikes which you generally have to repair yourself, but obviously the game makers where limited to what was in the films which set in the 40s and 50s! Graphics are ok, Indy looks great in his hat and coat and the Raiders soundtrack is there in all its glory.
The weapon pick-ups are not brilliant (apart from the bazooka): brawling is often the more effective way to beat the enemies. Indy himself however is a great character to use - he often prefers to wrestle rather than punch which is slow but he does have the all-important whip which gets a lot of use in traversing gaps and retrieving objects. Some of the boss battles are a bit strange - the Raiders battle by the plane was plain weird. You couldn't kill him by machine-gunning from point-blank range but only by holding up an anvil for him to punch three times! Other boss battles were a bit confusing too but overall gameplay was very good.
Once you've completed the story mode, and you can repeat levels in Freeplay, things really pick up with all the necessary characters (and unnecessary ones like Santa!) at your disposal and you can go after the elusive artefacts and mail those secrets in the red mail boxes for even more unlockables. It really is great fun and well worth doing, especially if you want to get 100%. Look out for the Star Wars cameo appearances too - if you're lucky you might find yourself getting a hug off Chewbacca in the Mos Eisley Cantina! Find all five scenes and you can buy Hans Solo!
My top tips for this game are:
1) Save your money until you have completed Story mode, you can then spend it wisely in Freeplay mode. Don't waste your cash on the silly stuff or characters, save it for the "treasure x2", "treasure x4" etc (studs become worth double/quadruple their value etc) or "artefact locator". Most of the characters you will need become available for nothing once you have completed their level anyway.
2) The Bazooka Trooper is a useful character - he can blow up silver objects and doors but also has the uniform to get through army checkpoints.
3) Once you've purchased an extra, it isn't enabled by default (took me a while to sus this !). Once in the game, press Start, then Extras to toggle them on and off
4) Don't waste time struggling to get that high-up or locked up artefact in story mode, you probably won't be able to do it with the standard characters. Remember where it is and go back in Freeplay
5) The treasure bonuses work together i.e. if you enable Treasure x2 and Treasure x4 at the same time you will end up with Treasure x8 and the money (ok studs) fly in!
Very good fun, continuing from where Lego Star Wars left off but not quite as good for humour and variety overall.
Batman next. let's just hope they don't start flogging the format to death.....
PS I've reviewed the guide on amazon too
Great Game, 27 Jul 2008
Another winner from the makers of Lego Star Wars. Loads of characters to buy and puzzles to solve. My boys (9 and 7) love collecting artifacts and parcels to get powers and bonuses.
Indi-tastic!!!, 04 Jul 2008
This is money well spent!
If you liked Lego Star Wars 1 & 2 then this is for you! Buy it! Play it! Keep playing it! By Christmas you still want to play it!
You can't go wrong on a game that really does not end and on the PS2 it is superb. I was going to get a PS3 but if this is the quality still being produced in sound, graphic and game play long live the PS2!!!
Creating your own Lego game characters is great as well. I made Mutt from the new film so I can have father and son running around with whips and guns. It is so good it even looks like him! To adda British cultural twist I made a David Tennent Doctor Lego character armed with a book to help solve the puzzles! Its that good and impressive!
Enjoy this neverending fun game. Roll on Lego Indiana Jones II: The new adventures!
So humorous and fun!, 02 Jul 2008
A brilliant game for adults and kids. The saving that only allows you to save after chapters and purchases makes it frustrating to have to start levels again. Very funny clips and clever gameplay and puzzles requiring logic and thinking! Worth buying it!

Cool! Fun and some decent songs., 26 Aug 2008
Wow! This is the best PS2 Game ever!
When I first played the game I was rubbish but now I have the postions memorised so I can play really well on Easy. The guitar is light and a reasonable size so it is easy to learn. The gameplay involves looking at the screen and pressing the right buttons, for example a green circle means you press the green button. So it's very basic.
The graphics are pretty good, 3D and fast. The clothes for the people are a bit wierd but I like them. I was expecting all the people to be male but to my pleasant surprise there are quite a few girls. I'm a girl and a lot of games aimed at boys that I buy have NO girls. This game is good for both genders. Yay!
The songs are mostly from the 60's and 70's but threre are a few up to date ones. A few. But, I like most of them after a bit. I tend to prefer songs from now. I love the Guitar Battles in Career mode. Especially Slash from Guns n Roses. Also against Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Lou, who I think is a fictional person. After beating him you become "A Rock Legend" which is cool.
I've never tried Multiplayer because we don't have another guitar but it looks fun.
The only down side is the guitar costs loads. But once you've saved up for a year it's ok.
All in all it's a brilliant game so BUY IT! It's addictive, it's cool and in general, great. Get out there and play.
You Rock!
An Addictive Fun Game, 07 Aug 2008
A very addictive game and fun to play to.
good points
- A fun game
- Very addictive
- The controller looks cool
- When you do a song you can never do but do it it feels great
Bad points
- Sometimes some of the buttons are faulty. But it dosent trouble you too much. I reccomend looking after the controller.
-You have to work your way through you start out with only about 8 songs. I reccomend only going on practice and career.
I rated this 5 star because its a great game and the buttons only go faulty once youve had it for about 4 months if not they wont go faulty!
It rawks for the old and young alike, 02 Aug 2008
I first played this around my friends house, and i instantly became addicted, i have never been the musical type and have never actually achieved to play an instrument in any coherant manner.
And to say the first time i played this game i got kicked off in about 30 seconds.
But then i tried again, and i aced it. Once used to it is fun and addictive, and you don't have to be good at ANY instrument to make a killing with it.
It starts with a good choice of songs that builds up into a fantastic amount. And you can ignore all those people moan 'well i don't know any of the songs', i'm 17 and i knew basically all off them, i was even able to sing along to half of them during (much to the despair of everyone else).
But i decided the most fun you could have with it is with another person, so i ordered this second guitar...
Brand New 10 Fret Button PS2 / Playstation 2 / PSone / Rock Guitar for Guitar Hero / Heros I, II, III, 1, 2, 3
It just stepped up the game play by making me look really cool by sliding between frets, and thats what this game is about, showing off to other people.
It's also brilliant for the elder generation, as they do have some older classics on that appeal to them, and you'll soon have your 80 year old grandmother headbanging and jumping around with the guitar.
An excellent buy and i recommend it to EVERYONE.
Thanks for reading.
Rock it on, 26 Jul 2008
I recently took grade 5 guitar exam and passed with a distinction i know this game helped me improve finger changind speed and techniques
If you play guitar buy this game
Give me back my sanity!!!!!, 25 Jul 2008
Bought this the other day for my 11 year old son (and me,when he's at school) great fun game if a little on the difficult side, but I've now got an 11 year old rock god living in my house, which as been turned into a jam pit when his mate comes round with his guitar and their both at it!The wireless guitar is notches above the old wired one and gives so much more freedom. Am now checking out al the previous versions of the game, Slash watch your back!
No imitations please..., 13 May 2008
I've tried other controllers for the PS2, and in the end there is no other controller quite like the Dualshock 2. The buttons on other controllers often require quite a conscious effort to use them, but the Dualshock 2's analogue buttons are actually analogue - press lightly and you'll get one response, press a little harder and you'll get another, and so on. The Dualshock 2 seems to last as long as any other controller and is simply better quality, so there's no real competition there.
As for the usefulness of a Dualshock 2 now that the PS3 is out - the Sixaxis controller bundled with the PS3 doesn't have rumble functionality, and a Dualshock 3 with rumble and Sixaxis tilt sensors will currently set you back quite a bit compared to a Dualshock 2 (which has only the rumble). You need a PS2-PS3 converter to use a Dualshock 2 with a PS3, so this part of the post is more for those whom already have either the converter or the Dualshock 2.
Superb., 20 Dec 2007
Not much to write about this, 5 Stars explains it all; Brillant design and very family friendly, minor improvements would be need but have been made with the PS3 controller Six Axis Now out.The SIXAXIS controller, now wireless, is the same design with minor improvements with the L2/R2 buttons travelling further. Better feel, espically with FPS games.The controller is very stable and Untill Xbox360 Controller came out, leagues ahead of the other controllers, 5 Stars well deserved. Overall Rating 10/10!
King of Controllers?, 12 Jun 2007
I have been using the traditional PlayStation style pads since the launch of the PSX back in 1995, and believe that this standard revised in the DualShock 2 controllers was a great asset to the success of the PlayStation 2; the quality of the pads are consistently good and above all are ergonomically sound, and simple to become accustom to.
Over time however the pads become noticeably more and more unreliable - as with all equipment, but in comparison to other console brand controllers the DualShock 2 controller does wear a degree quicker. Accidents do happen I'm afraid and dropping a DualShock 2 can easily result in damage, considering these are retailing for around £15 to date you would be completely right to expect some better protection within the controller.
Adequate care during use and storage will see the life-span of the controllers increase, other than that the vibration and analog control features of the controller are superb, still setting a competitive standard against third-party controllers - its wire length too is suitable to allow players the freedom to sit comfortably away from the screen without being too excessive when it comes to storage. Ultimately the controller isn't perfect, but it's an excellent choice for most players needs.
Red Warning, 04 Jun 2007
My kids thought this controller looked dead cool so when the time finally came to replace a controller I ordered the cool red one knowing the lads would be chuffed to bits.
Well it turned out to be 'pants'. The lead is too short and on some PS2 games it causes the game to freeze. The kids of course hate it!
DON'T BUY IT or like me you'll end up coughing up for another one that actually works properly.
It would also be useful if the gumph about controllers generally mentioned the length of the lead.

Buy it, 10 Apr 2008
This console is the best!!!It beats ps3 any day who needs to spent £400 on a console!!!!!!!There are so many games available on this and everything just get it! You cannot play ps2 games on ps3 so if you dont get one of these you might never play ps2 games, they are dying out!
the first of it's generation, 06 Mar 2008
i had a PS2 with MGS2 as my first game and i was blown away. the Ps2 was the first of its generation so i went from playing PS1 games and some PC games to the PS2 which was incredible at the time.
all the Xbox and gamecube owners who say that the PS2 has crap graphics need to remeber that it came out a year before both of theses consoles.
it has a huge selection of games and don't believe people who say that they are all crap or average. it has lots of great games like Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry 3, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Dynasty Warriors 4 to name some. add to that your favourite PS1 games and DVDs and you've got alot of hours you can spend on this machine.
my PS2 did break but it was after around 4 years. i'm considering buying a new one (even though i have an XBox 360 and Xbox) just to play some of my favourite games again.
it's old time to move on, 23 Feb 2008
i got my first ps2 in 2003 becuse someone said its better than the xbox
so i took there advise and got a ps2 and after a year i was unhappy with it,so i went got an xbox which i should have got from the start.
i got far more out of the xbox then i ever did with my ps2
which i now only use as a dvd player
i,ve only ever liked about 11 games and afew others which i wanted to see how they differ from there xbox counterparts.
but its now 2008 time to let the outdated ps2 console retire.
which the xbox did before it became to old and stale
(very smart move,mirosoft).
The world's most successful console., 06 Jan 2008
Sony have sold over 120,000,000 PS2 consoles and it continues to out-sell the PS3 in all territories across the world. The reason for this is very simple. It has a huge library of games covering all genres. Many of its games offer unique gameplay experiences such as the stealth play in the Metal Gear Solid series. The fact that the console is now so cheap to buy also helps sales.
The PS2 offers something for everyone. Football fans have the Fifa and Pro Evolution Soccer series. Beat 'em up fans have the Tekken and Soul Calibur series. Horror fans have the Silent Hill collection and Resident Evil 4. Driving fans have Gran Turismo 3&4 and the Burnout series. RPG fans have Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Party fans have Guitar Hero and Singstar. FPS fans have Killzone and the Timesplitters series. Adventure fans have Okami or Ico. Action adventure fans have the GTA series. Fantasy action fans have Devil May Cry 1-3, Onimusha 1-3 and God Of War 1&2. All of these titles can now be obtained at budget prices.
The console itself is small enough to fit in small places if space is limited and is light enough to carry around unlike the heavy slab that is the PS3. Oh yes, it will play CD's and DVD's as well. I do own a PS3 but spend loads more time on my PS2. I am currently putting myself through the hell of Titan Mode in God Of War 2, expanding my criminal empire in Scarface and watching monsters the size of mountains fall in Shadow Of The Colossus. Fact is, these are the kind of gaming experiences few consoles can offer. If you operate on a budget or are looking for a first console with hundreds of titles to choose from then the PS2 is probably essential.

Product Description
The greatest battle of the new football season is not between any real world club but between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami's game has always been the favourite but last year FIFA closed the gap to such a degree that the title race has never been closer. This year's FIFA uses a completely new game engine, for the first time built specifically for the next gen consoles. But improved graphics and animation are only the half of it, with just as much focus going on the artificial intelligence thanks to the new "35 point decision engine". What this basically means is that every player on the pitch is fully aware of those around him and constantly thinking about tactics and position when not under your control. Other changes include better modelled physics for taking a shot on goal, which take into account everything from air pressure to the angle of your foot. You're also able to create your own special moves to replicate every possible trick from real life. There are also new game modes including Be A Pro which challenges you to play the role of a single player through a whole season or career. On top of this there are revamped online leagues to play a virtual season in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division against real opponents. With 620 licensed teams, 30 offline leagues and 15,000 players as well FIFA might just have made enough new signings this year to put it over the top. Harrison Dent

It's also brilliant for the elder generation, as they do have some older classics on that appeal to them, and you'll soon have your 80 year old grandmother headbanging and jumping around with the guitar.
An excellent buy and i recommend it to EVERYONE.
Thanks for reading.
Rock it on, 26 Jul 2008

If you play guitar buy this game
Give me back my sanity!!!!!, 25 Jul 2008
Bought this the other day for my 11 year old son (and me,when he's at school) great fun game if a little on the difficult side, but I've now got an 11 year old rock god living in my house, which as been turned into a jam pit when his mate comes round with his guitar and their both at it!The wireless guitar is notches above the old wired one and gives so much more freedom. Am now checking out al the previous versions of the game, Slash watch your back!
No imitations please..., 13 May 2008
I've tried other controllers for the PS2, and in the end there is no other controller quite like the Dualshock 2. The buttons on other controllers often require quite a conscious effort to use them, but the Dualshock 2's analogue buttons are actually analogue - press lightly and you'll get one response, press a little harder and you'll get another, and so on. The Dualshock 2 seems to last as long as any other controller and is simply better quality, so there's no real competition there.
As for the usefulness of a Dualshock 2 now that the PS3 is out - the Sixaxis controller bundled with the PS3 doesn't have rumble functionality, and a Dualshock 3 with rumble and Sixaxis tilt sensors will currently set you back quite a bit compared to a Dualshock 2 (which has only the rumble). You need a PS2-PS3 converter to use a Dualshock 2 with a PS3, so this part of the post is more for those whom already have either the converter or the Dualshock 2.
Superb., 20 Dec 2007
Not much to write about this, 5 Stars explains it all; Brillant design and very family friendly, minor improvements would be need but have been made with the PS3 controller Six Axis Now out.The SIXAXIS controller, now wireless, is the same design with minor improvements with the L2/R2 buttons travelling further. Better feel, espically with FPS games.The controller is very stable and Untill Xbox360 Controller came out, leagues ahead of the other controllers, 5 Stars well deserved. Overall Rating 10/10!
King of Controllers?, 12 Jun 2007
I have been using the traditional PlayStation style pads since the launch of the PSX back in 1995, and believe that this standard revised in the DualShock 2 controllers was a great asset to the success of the PlayStation 2; the quality of the pads are consistently good and above all are ergonomically sound, and simple to become accustom to.
Over time however the pads become noticeably more and more unreliable - as with all equipment, but in comparison to other console brand controllers the DualShock 2 controller does wear a degree quicker. Accidents do happen I'm afraid and dropping a DualShock 2 can easily result in damage, considering these are retailing for around £15 to date you would be completely right to expect some better protection within the controller.
Adequate care during use and storage will see the life-span of the controllers increase, other than that the vibration and analog control features of the controller are superb, still setting a competitive standard against third-party controllers - its wire length too is suitable to allow players the freedom to sit comfortably away from the screen without being too excessive when it comes to storage. Ultimately the controller isn't perfect, but it's an excellent choice for most players needs.
Red Warning, 04 Jun 2007
My kids thought this controller looked dead cool so when the time finally came to replace a controller I ordered the cool red one knowing the lads would be chuffed to bits.
Well it turned out to be 'pants'. The lead is too short and on some PS2 games it causes the game to freeze. The kids of course hate it!
DON'T BUY IT or like me you'll end up coughing up for another one that actually works properly.
It would also be useful if the gumph about controllers generally mentioned the length of the lead.
Good but too fragile, 28 Apr 2007
I've used a couple of contollers and the official one is the comfiest and easiest to use.
However, and I speak from experience, it doesn't survive being slammed into the floor in a fit of rage. Although there probably isn't one that does so buy this one and take out your anger on something less important, like a younger sibling :)
Another Great Addition!, 25 May 2008
This is another great addition to the singstar series and has a great selection of tracks, as listed by another reveiwer. There has to be a song for every one here young and old.
I'd only wish they would update the format as the menu's and the game modes are still the regulars with no addtions. All in all good fun!

The Ultimate Adventure, 26 Aug 2008
I have bought the previous LEGO games, so I kinda knew what to expect, but this game simply blew me away, this game is similar to the other LEGO games but at the same time it has a lot of new things, like cars, horses, bikes, and so, the levels are huge as usual. One thing that I really like about this game is the diversity of each level, there are not two equal levels. This is a game for all ages, dont be folled by the LEGO title, this game has lots o puzzles to be solved and other many things to unlock.
This is one of those games that everyone should have on their collection, definatly a pearl on PS2.
For True Explorers...., 29 Jul 2008
I didn't rush out to buy this on release as I didn't think the Indiana Jones trilogy would make such a good game as Lego Star Wars:The Original Trilogy (LSW:TOT). Curiosity got the better of me and I bought it (for my daughter of course!) and have been boshing away at it ever since!
It follows the identical format to LSW:TOT i.e. 6 levels per film, story and free play mode with artefacts taking the place of mini-kits, finding and mailing parcels instead of red bricks. The excellent two-player drop-in drop-out mode is still there and works as good as ever. This can cause problems when exploring different parts of the screen or your co-player "accidentally" gives you a right-hander, but arguments are all forgotten when you complete the level!
You get a wide variety of characters - soldiers, diggers, mechanic, women (jump higher), thugees (mystical powers), professors (solve puzzles) and Short Round - for the tunnels! However, the vehicles aren't too exciting, old cars and bikes which you generally have to repair yourself, but obviously the game makers where limited to what was in the films which set in the 40s and 50s! Graphics are ok, Indy looks great in his hat and coat and the Raiders soundtrack is there in all its glory.
The weapon pick-ups are not brilliant (apart from the bazooka): brawling is often the more effective way to beat the enemies. Indy himself however is a great character to use - he often prefers to wrestle rather than punch which is slow but he does have the all-important whip which gets a lot of use in traversing gaps and retrieving objects. Some of the boss battles are a bit strange - the Raiders battle by the plane was plain weird. You couldn't kill him by machine-gunning from point-blank range but only by holding up an anvil for him to punch three times! Other boss battles were a bit confusing too but overall gameplay was very good.
Once you've completed the story mode, and you can repeat levels in Freeplay, things really pick up with all the necessary characters (and unnecessary ones like Santa!) at your disposal and you can go after the elusive artefacts and mail those secrets in the red mail boxes for even more unlockables. It really is great fun and well worth doing, especially if you want to get 100%. Look out for the Star Wars cameo appearances too - if you're lucky you might find yourself getting a hug off Chewbacca in the Mos Eisley Cantina! Find all five scenes and you can buy Hans Solo!
My top tips for this game are:
1) Save your money until you have completed Story mode, you can then spend it wisely in Freeplay mode. Don't waste your cash on the silly stuff or characters, save it for the "treasure x2", "treasure x4" etc (studs become worth double/quadruple their value etc) or "artefact locator". Most of the characters you will need become available for nothing once you have completed their level anyway.
2) The Bazooka Trooper is a useful character - he can blow up silver objects and doors but also has the uniform to get through army checkpoints.
3) Once you've purchased an extra, it isn't enabled by default (took me a while to sus this !). Once in the game, press Start, then Extras to toggle them on and off
4) Don't waste time struggling to get that high-up or locked up artefact in story mode, you probably won't be able to do it with the standard characters. Remember where it is and go back in Freeplay
5) The treasure bonuses work together i.e. if you enable Treasure x2 and Treasure x4 at the same time you will end up with Treasure x8 and the money (ok studs) fly in!
Very good fun, continuing from where Lego Star Wars left off but not quite as good for humour and variety overall.
Batman next. let's just hope they don't start flogging the format to death.....
PS I've reviewed the guide on amazon too
Great Game, 27 Jul 2008
Another winner from the makers of Lego Star Wars. Loads of characters to buy and puzzles to solve. My boys (9 and 7) love collecting artifacts and parcels to get powers and bonuses.
Indi-tastic!!!, 04 Jul 2008
This is money well spent!
If you liked Lego Star Wars 1 & 2 then this is for you! Buy it! Play it! Keep playing it! By Christmas you still want to play it!
You can't go wrong on a game that really does not end and on the PS2 it is superb. I was going to get a PS3 but if this is the quality still being produced in sound, graphic and game play long live the PS2!!!
Creating your own Lego game characters is great as well. I made Mutt from the new film so I can have father and son running around with whips and guns. It is so good it even looks like him! To adda British cultural twist I made a David Tennent Doctor Lego character armed with a book to help solve the puzzles! Its that good and impressive!
Enjoy this neverending fun game. Roll on Lego Indiana Jones II: The new adventures!
So humorous and fun!, 02 Jul 2008
A brilliant game for adults and kids. The saving that only allows you to save after chapters and purchases makes it frustrating to have to start levels again. Very funny clips and clever gameplay and puzzles requiring logic and thinking! Worth buying it!
Buy it, 10 Apr 2008
This console is the best!!!It beats ps3 any day who needs to spent £400 on a console!!!!!!!There are so many games available on this and everything just get it! You cannot play ps2 games on ps3 so if you dont get one of these you might never play ps2 games, they are dying out!
the first of it's generation, 06 Mar 2008
i had a PS2 with MGS2 as my first game and i was blown away. the Ps2 was the first of its generation so i went from playing PS1 games and some PC games to the PS2 which was incredible at the time.
all the Xbox and gamecube owners who say that the PS2 has crap graphics need to remeber that it came out a year before both of theses consoles.
it has a huge selection of games and don't believe people who say that they are all crap or average. it has lots of great games like Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry 3, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Dynasty Warriors 4 to name some. add to that your favourite PS1 games and DVDs and you've got alot of hours you can spend on this machine.
my PS2 did break but it was after around 4 years. i'm considering buying a new one (even though i have an XBox 360 and Xbox) just to play some of my favourite games again.
it's old time to move on, 23 Feb 2008
i got my first ps2 in 2003 becuse someone said its better than the xbox
so i took there advise and got a ps2 and after a year i was unhappy with it,so i went got an xbox which i should have got from the start.
i got far more out of the xbox then i ever did with my ps2
which i now only use as a dvd player
i,ve only ever liked about 11 games and afew others which i wanted to see how they differ from there xbox counterparts.
but its now 2008 time to let the outdated ps2 console retire.
which the xbox did before it became to old and stale
(very smart move,mirosoft).
The world's most successful console., 06 Jan 2008
Sony have sold over 120,000,000 PS2 consoles and it continues to out-sell the PS3 in all territories across the world. The reason for this is very simple. It has a huge library of games covering all genres. Many of its games offer unique gameplay experiences such as the stealth play in the Metal Gear Solid series. The fact that the console is now so cheap to buy also helps sales.
The PS2 offers something for everyone. Football fans have the Fifa and Pro Evolution Soccer series. Beat 'em up fans have the Tekken and Soul Calibur series. Horror fans have the Silent Hill collection and Resident Evil 4. Driving fans have Gran Turismo 3&4 and the Burnout series. RPG fans have Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Party fans have Guitar Hero and Singstar. FPS fans have Killzone and the Timesplitters series. Adventure fans have Okami or Ico. Action adventure fans have the GTA series. Fantasy action fans have Devil May Cry 1-3, Onimusha 1-3 and God Of War 1&2. All of these titles can now be obtained at budget prices.
The console itself is small enough to fit in small places if space is limited and is light enough to carry around unlike the heavy slab that is the PS3. Oh yes, it will play CD's and DVD's as well. I do own a PS3 but spend loads more time on my PS2. I am currently putting myself through the hell of Titan Mode in God Of War 2, expanding my criminal empire in Scarface and watching monsters the size of mountains fall in Shadow Of The Colossus. Fact is, these are the kind of gaming experiences few consoles can offer. If you operate on a budget or are looking for a first console with hundreds of titles to choose from then the PS2 is probably essential.
pliz dont, 28 Nov 2007
I won a bet with my dad so he bought my ps2 (the thinner 1)
waste of money dont do it,it brakes all the time
do it right and get the thick one it loads better
madden, 16 Aug 2008
the fifa games are rubbish in comparison to madden. The be a pro mode is useless as you can only do one game, whereas superstar mode on madden is much better as you can do a whole career and you just do your player. i have both fifa 08 and madden nfl 08 and i can honestly say that fifa pales in comparison. Franchise mode is 10 times better than manager mode.
Don't waste your money get madden
nothing new, 14 Aug 2008
i have been a fifa fan for all these years. i had got all the games even when my friends said i should stop buying them and get pro evo. my friends were right. i had really enjoyed the earlier ones like fifa 2003/4/5 beacause the game flow wasnt so stiff. when you changed direction it was smooth, same as all the gameplay. but since fifa 06, onwards the shot mechanics are poor, same unrealistic shot every time. when they run their arms look very stupid and you cant aim freekicks or corners with an arrow anymore. the goalpost vibration dosen't help. unlike the pro evo series where the shooting varies between what player you are. (ronaldinho will shoot like ronaldinho) and the dribbling is very smooth. i will still get the fifa games because i dont like to wait for the next football action. but i woulod reccomend the pro series.
Disappointed, 31 Jul 2008
I have to say that when I brought this game it was mainly because I was curious to see how it had succeeded Fifa 07. It doesn't. There are a few changes and a few add-ons but nothing to what I expected. It almost feels like the game has taken a step backwards. Fifa 07 I think is the best game for originality I have ever played and unfortunatly the fun factor has totally been stripped from Fifa 08. It is actually boring to play a game which lasts about 15 mintues, regardless of what game settings you have it on. I really am not surprised there are so many used copies available, (75 used today). Utter disappointment and the creators should be ashamed. Tut tut disgraceful.
i love this game, but..., 24 Jun 2008
I am a massive fan of EA games and the fifa series.Fifa 08 is one of the best games that i own,but to be honest with you,i think it's getting to the point,where EA are focusing more on the ps3 and xbox 360, as there seems to be a lot more that you can do on the newer consoles. However i still love this game,and would recommend it to anyone.
:D 5 stars
Had to buy it twice as my play keeps scratching the cd, 17 Jun 2008
Yes, it was that good i had to buy it again as my play just loves to scratch the cd, it goes into overburn.
The controls are much better than 04, but the game still lacks something. it takes ages to finish a season, transfering players could be better

Product Description
In a nutshell: The SingStar karaoke juggernaut rumbles on with a particularly generous selection of 30 new songs featuring music legends from Elton John to Nirvana and Tina Turner to Johnny Cash. The lowdown:
After the rather niche Singstar Rocks and SingStar Anthems this latest expansion has a much broader song selection. The rather loose theme is that all the songs are by music legends, rather than one hit wonders, and you've got the likes of Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Life on Mars by David Bowie and Ring of Fire by Jonny Cash. As usual all the songs include the original music video (if they had one), giving visual accompaniment to classics such as The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston, Roxanne by The Police and Rocket Man by Elton John. Of course whether you'll still love all these golden oldies after they've been desecrated by a drunken SingStar session is another thing. Most exciting moment:
The eight player, pass the microphone mode is still the best way to play SingStar and there aren't really any new game modes here to beat it. There is a new feature that lets you compare your crooning with that of the real artist though, even if the game does seem to be rather kind in most of its comparisons. Since you ask:
SingStar has already been confirmed as appearing on the PlayStation 3, in fact it's was one of the first games to be demoed using the online shop, where you can download individual songs you want instead of having to buy whole expansions like this. The bottom line:
One of the best SingStar expansions, with at least a few songs for everyone.-HARRISON DENT
Customer Reviews
Cool! Fun and some decent songs., 26 Aug 2008
Wow! This is the best PS2 Game ever!
When I first played the game I was rubbish but now I have the postions memorised so I can play really well on Easy. The guitar is light and a reasonable size so it is easy to learn. The gameplay involves looking at the screen and pressing the right buttons, for example a green circle means you press the green button. So it's very basic.
The graphics are pretty good, 3D and fast. The clothes for the people are a bit wierd but I like them. I was expecting all the people to be male but to my pleasant surprise there are quite a few girls. I'm a girl and a lot of games aimed at boys that I buy have NO girls. This game is good for both genders. Yay!
The songs are mostly from the 60's and 70's but threre are a few up to date ones. A few. But, I like most of them after a bit. I tend to prefer songs from now. I love the Guitar Battles in Career mode. Especially Slash from Guns n Roses. Also against Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Lou, who I think is a fictional person. After beating him you become "A Rock Legend" which is cool.
I've never tried Multiplayer because we don't have another guitar but it looks fun.
The only down side is the guitar costs loads. But once you've saved up for a year it's ok.
All in all it's a brilliant game so BUY IT! It's addictive, it's cool and in general, great. Get out there and play.
You Rock!
