It's been a few months since the Playstation 2 launched in North America, and things are certainly brighter for the PS2 since it stumbled out of the gate in Japan last year. Sony didn't pull off a perfect launch, however, and we've decided to grade the Playstation 2 for the year 2000. Read on to see how the PS2 fared in our first report. It follows the continuing adventures of Klonoa, who was first introduced a few years back on the PlayStation game console. This time he's older, stronger, and more daring.
Every successful console requires triple A games in order to thrive.
The Genesis had Sonic, the SNES had Mario and Zelda, and the Playstation had a stable of triple A games. The Playstation 2 needs killer apps, especially with the competition it will be facing in the upcoming year. In 2001, the Dreamcast userbase will reach critical mass and have an impressive game library, and Microsoft and Nintendo will be out for blood when their new systems are released in the Fall of 2001. Sony needs to bring out the big guns to take on the competition, but it looks like the PS2 will have more than enough firepower. We take a look into the year ahead to see what the hottest 10 games may be for the PS2.
