Anyone tried the Playstation 2 Network Gaming?

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone has used the new PS2 network game stuff yet?

Any good? Worth the £25 ethernet card? What games are good, which aren't!?

Cheers

Deends on what your into, NFSU for racing(which can play against he PC version), FFXI, THPS4, Socom....etc.
Actually this info would be really helpful because im also wondering if its worth it...

I played Socom: US Navy Seals online once or twice. It's kinda fun, not the greatest. I have to say the single player mode is horrible, though.

ive played twisted metal black, THPS4 (got THUG but havent gone online with it yet), and NBA Live 2003. all those were pleasant experiences except for Live 2003, which i couldnt get into any games with. damn, that sucked. it's very fast though when i have been on with other games, no lag at all :D

Are there any big differences between THUG and THPS4 in online multiplayer? i was thinking of getting one but cant decide. And TW:B was online...? Thats cool.

i havent tried THUG online yet, i will later today when my stuff on emule finishes :) ....but it looks to me like it will be nearly the same stuff (but different levels of course).

and twisted metal black wasn't online, technically. when you bought the Network Adapter (well at least here in the states) you got a coupon to mail into Sony. this enabled you to get a >free< version of Twisted Metal: Black that only contains online play (not the full game). a nice little bonus :D

Hey i'd like that voucher!!

Hey i'd like that voucher!!

well, it came with my network adapter...so it's not like a "super rare" thing. i did by mine a long time ago though. it was an incentive to get it when it came out originally.

anyway, i played THUG online today. it was quite good, now there's observe mode! however, the people are SO GOOD you need to wait forever. i was observing as one guy scored 33 BILLION points in moscow. holy crap.

Crap thats a lot...Im none too good at those game, but I like anyways

[tonyyeb]

Ah! Not a big fan of skateboarding games. Snowboarding is a bit more appealing though!!
