Hey guys, I own a 360 and we're in kind of a downtime till May as far as games go, so I was just wondering if the PS2 exclusives were enough to warrant a purchase of the system?  I had an Xbox before that so I've played all the good cross-platform games, and all I would be interested in are the exclusives. 

I wasn't a fan at all of MGS2, so I'm not sure if MGS3 is more of the same or not.  I've played a bit of God of War, but I quit after being killed by the Medusas about 10 times in a row.  Still, it was a game I could give another go at for sure. 

So what else is there and should I buy the system for exclusives alone?

wow, You never got a PS2, there are tons of game out and are exclusive for the ps2, like metal gear solid 2, and 3. It has Gran turismo, tekkan 3,4,5. Burnout 3,4,5. Soon mercenaries 2 , God Of War 1, and 2. and much more. The ps2 was the best selling console of the 2nd generation. So yea it is worth it.

In my opinion, the PS2 is the most software-heavy console since the NES. You can't avoid at least one amazing exclusive in each category (Except FPS.). I wouldn't buy it just for some entertainment between now and May, though; If you're new to the console, the PS2 has enough exceptional content to last you well into 2010.

Definetaly get one :D  About God of War, I had trouble with Madusa too :P  Once you get past her the game 'remains' great though :D

 

There's always the Kingdom Hearts series, Okami, God of War I and II, so there will be plenty to keep you occopied for several months

I would say get it, there are tons of games some very neat exclusives and besides PS2 can easily be your back up system.  When you have downtime you can go back to your PS2 and fill that gap with it.

I'm not a Sony hater, but I don't think I'll ever get a PS3.  I'm thinking of getting either a PS2, Gamecube, or maybe even Wii.  So God of War, Jak, and Ratchet and Clank are the main ones then?  And is MGS3 very similar to MGS2 (which I hated)?

I dont understand how you could hate mgs but everone has their own opinions. MGS3 isnt that differant. Its still heavily focused on stealth rather than run and gun action and people grumble about awkward camera angles. I dont understand why though. Also there are hundreds more than just god,ratchet and jak its just they are probably some of the better ones.

Do me a favor, just buy a PS 2, the name in itself would be a GOOD reason why.
