Sony PlayStation® 2 Console

Home Console, 295 MHz Processor, 17 Colors, Installed RAM: 32 MB, Gaming Type(s): Optional Online Gaming, Optical Drive: DVD-ROM,...

The Sony Playstation 2 is the fastest selling video game system of all time and home to some of the biggest gaming franchises ever created. Out-of-the-box backwards compatibility with Playstation One software and built-in DVD playback are but a couple of reasons the console has reached such legendary status. The 128-bit Emotion Engine that lies at the heart of the Playstation 2 has breathed life into such titles as Grand Theft Auto III, John Madden Football, and Final Fantasy X. With such an expansive list of features it’s not hard to see how the PS2 has blurred the line between niche gamer and mainstream consumer.

Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict in a war-torn African nation.
