I adored SMB2. I found it to be very different and neat. You will also notice it has a Middle-Eastern theme which is interesting and different. Did this game inspire the Prince of Persia? The only thing is I worried all this cooky stuff was the future of Mario.

The truly unique aspect of SMB2 that I appreciated was you could throw game elements you find at enemies (including the boss eggs they throw at you). The concept of using lots of unique found wepons them is well loved in Kirby and MegaMan.

And what is cooler than forgetting about saving the princess again, and instead, and flying through an entire level floating on her dress?

PS2 is Awesome!

Good games are affordable at Game Stop and I really love the slim PS2 - takes up practically no shelf space in my small room.

I am really happy to know Sony still appreciates this product. My only sadness is that, I have heard, PS3 is not backward compatable. Some of my favorite titles (Street Fighter Alpha 3, Final Fantasy 7 & 8, Metal Gear Solid 1 are for the PSone so I love backward compatability. It just makes me really sad about moving to the new era.
