Sony’s PlayStation 2 is the best-selling video game console ever made. This is a testament to how many people loved this console, for sure, but even though the lifespan of the PS2 has long since ended, that doesn’t mean the console still isn’t worth playing. With one of the most robust gaming libraries ever, a library eclipsed only by PC, the PS2 houses some of the greatest games ever made. And these classics often can still hold up today.
Now, these games won’t either play or feel like other games today too, and that means there won’t be a lot of modern comforts, especially those in the context of resolution and framerate, but many of these games still play really well and can be a lot of fun to step into. Especially for games you haven’t touched in decades, a PS2 can be an awesome way to revisit a classic. This is doubly so when you think about how cheap PS2s can be found for today and how little of an investment is required for you and your friends or loved ones to have an awesome time doing something together.
In this video, we’re going to take a look at why you should buy a PS2 today in 2021 and remind everybody why the PS2 is still a great choice for gaming, decades after it originally launched.
