Customer Reviews

Recently picked up a PS2 at a thrift store and I found this to be a great guide to learn about the s

It's a lot of brief info about a lot of games, helpful to focus on the titles you are looking for and to get familiar with the library of games available. It's a quick read and I picked up some pretty good nuggets of info about how the hardware works and interesting facts about some of the games.

can't get the machine..at least i got the book

cant find the machine, so the book will have to do..plenty of info and a lot cheaper than the PSX!

all the details in one place

i like this book because it's a good summary of all the details about the machine; all the new games and all the other features of the machine. Concise and reasonable.

Secrets Of PS2

This book was informative about the new Sony Playstation 2. Although it did lack great detail it was still informative and got the major ideas across. There could have been more information about the systems specs and its speed. They do not show the PS2 as the super computer that it is. They portray it as a gaming console. The book itself is put together in a professional fashion though drags on about off the subject material. It is one of the very few books about the PS2 and overall I am fairly satisfied with it. It is a must buy for PS2 users all around the country!

Worth the money

The book does have some interesting/useful information. Nothing truly surprising or unbelievable, however it is very useful, and has a lot of cool ideas! It is definately worth the price!
