im really into games, ive got an nes/gen1&2/snes/gbc/gba/dc/ps1/2/saturn/n64 and hundreds of games and ive never heard of it or any of the games he mentioned but up until about a week ago i had never heard of gleylancer/panorama cotton/monster world 4 and was in awe of how good they were especially the music.
I remember the commercials quite well for katamari (there are a few games on the PS2, right?), I wouldn't have played it if a freined hadn't brought over his PS2 and that game a few years back.
Some good choices (Sam Sho anthology, gradius V, alpha anthology)
Lots of vanilla choices (god of war, gta, metal gear zzzzZZZZZZZzzzzz)
A bunch of head scratching, bad choices (MvC2 is a terrible, unplayable port, SNK arcade classics is a bunch of terrible ports with horrendous slowdown rendering games like Shock Troopers unplayable, Tekken 5 was rendered obsolete by DR a month after it hit PS2, Castlevania LoI is terrible)
Pretty much a bunch of conventional wisdom with some inexplicable bad ports thrown in.
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, the greatest hits re-release of VF4 is by far the best fighting game on that list.
It peaked the franchise thus-far, and if I were to rank it based on those games alone, it would be in the top 5.
yeah virtua fighter 4 is pretty impressive i think i will bump that up a few spots actually since you brought that upQuote:

mvc2 is definetely better on other consoles(i prefer to play it on the dreamcast) but its far from unplayable(what would you say makes it unplayable?)Quote:
