Hi All,

I have just purchased a PS2 (the new small one), and am looking for some fighting and racing games. Let's get some recommendations here!

ferrari f355 challenge
gt3

i think they are the only decent racing 'simulators' for ps2

NFSU:2 is coming out tomorow on PS2 and xBox, should be very cool

Fighting - Soul Calibur II

Racing - TOCA Racing 2, F1 2004, Gran Tourismo 3

Best games - Grand Theft Auto II (Vice City) and San Andreas

Wait for gran turismo 4 instead of buying 3. Comes out in early december I believe. Trust me the GT games are simply the best racing games there are. NFSU 2 is also a damn fun game too. For fighting virtua fighter series owns all.

The only ps2 games that I played right now are Tenchu 3 and GTA series.

Tekken 4 and Soul Calibur 2. Tekken 5 may be out in february or so. These are pretty good ports. Very nice for practicing for playing against your buddies in the arcade. I've been playing these two games for well over a year now and it still is a blast to play with my arcade buddies at school.

Burnout 3: the best "racing" game ever.

Burnout... yea whatever that is ; )

j/k


What pisses me off is their online component will be in fact a seperate game. No worries, ill buy both!

Soul calibur II and tekken 4 are TERRIBLE. stay far away.
You need look no further than Virtua Fighter 4:evolution. The BEST fighting game ever on any home console. (VF4:final tuned is perhaps better, but its arcade only so far).
Tekken 5 might be decent, but it will likely be a while before it gets a PS2 release.

You will go broke buying new PS2 games at $50 a pop when first released, get a used GT3 A Spec for $5-6 on Amazon......do likewise for all PS2 games you get. Wait a year before you get GT4, your wallet will thank you.

Besides Gran Turismo series I really like the Wipeout series with the futuristic tracks and vehicles, also have great pulsating techno sound tracks. The real strength of PS2 is it's racing games.

As far as fighting games get used Soul Caliber II to start, combines weapon selection/technique with traditional fighting.
