However, did you know that the Play Station 2 is also a great video game system, and one that is most likely a lot more affordable and accessible than the PS3? Not only that, but there are literally hundreds of great Play Station 2 games from which you can choose. Keep reading to find some game suggestions for the entire family!

Games for Kids

Some of the hottest and most appropriate games for little gamers include those based after popular television shows, movies and animated characters. Check out Cars, a game based on the incredibly popular Pixar movie. Or, go for one of the many Spongebob Squarepants games available. Older kids might like a Harry Potter game, or even an updated version of a classic game such as Pac-Man or Frogger.

Games for Car Fanatics

Got an automobile enthusiast in the family? If so, you cannot go wrong with a racing game. Popular racing games for the Playstation 2 include Grand Turismo, Corvette, Super Trucks Racing, Need for Speed, American Chopper: Full Throttle, and Crash n' Burn. For a comical take on the classic racing game, check out The Simpsons Road Rage or Hit and Run.

Games for Tough Guys

Ok, they're not just for guys, the ladies can enjoy them, too. For vicious action, check out games like Mortal Kombat, Legends of Wrestling, Street Fighter, Ultimate Fighting Championship, or Fight Club -- based on the movie starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. More of a shoot 'em up type? Then you don't want to miss games like Airforce Delta Strike, Dino Stalker, GoldenEye, Max Payne, and America's Army, to name a few!

Games for Sports Enthusiasts

There are tons of sports themed games out there. For realistic fishing action, try Fisherman's Bass Club or Fisherman's Challenge. Hockey lovers will enjoy Gretzky NHL. Like basketball? Then you don't want to miss College Hoops. Other fantastic sports games include Deer Hunter, ESPN Major League Baseball, EA Sports Arena Football, and WTA Tour Tennis. No matter what sport you love, there's a game out there for you!

Games for Strategy Lovers

Are you or another member of your family a thinking player? Do you enjoy mind-bending puzzles and in-depth adventures that require lots of careful thought? If so, there are tons of Play Station 2 games to satisfy your need for intellectual stimulation. Any one of the Final Fantasy games will keep you busy for hours! Or, check out games like Chessmaster, Dynasty Tactics, Puzzle Challenge, and Jeopardy. Another fun game is the Sims, a virtual reality game that's quite popular with players of all ages, except the very young.
