Other Online Games Not As Good As Socom 2
This thread may have been started many times... sorry if it has... but i've played a lot of online games for the PS2 and none of them are as good as Socom 2. I just rented Rainbow Six 3 and i didn't really like it... some of the animations were even missing when you change weapons. Syphon Filter comes close to Socom but not quite... If you like Coop then this is an awsome game but i'd rather play against people. Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell are online, but they only allow 6 people for Ghost Recon and 4 people for Splinter Cell... Anyone agree with me? I haven't played sports games but i guess those should be pretty cool. If anyone else knows of a game that is as fun as Socom 2 please post here... (I'm not saying these games arn't good... I just prefer Socom 2 for a good online experence, Splinter Cell's single player is awesome!)

Yes...that's the worst part...especially when you get an early lead and end up playin the rest of the game vs CPU

I like Madden as well, and yes people do leave a lot.

Other notable games are Fight Night and MLB. Has anyone tried resident evil? I hear its pretty good online, but would like a first hand opinion.

Yea i have played Resident Evil Outbreak online... I would give it an 8/10 im not pro at rating games but i'll break it down a little for you, i am a big RE fan so there is going to be a little more of a cushion

Pro: Nice Graphics, Creepy, Smarter Enemies, Coop
Cons: NO VOICE CHAT!! Hard, Loading between rooms, Slpooy Controls

I thought the graphics were very nice for a resident evil game... Although the last RE game i played was the second one for PSX. You can choose between several people with diffrent abilitys (Gun expert, Lockpicker, Mechanic) It is pretty creepy if you play it in the dark late at night. And the zombies and bad guys will actually move from room to room, so you have to think on your feet, I think RE is funner with 3 more people, it makes it feel like you're not the only one who didn't get the virus. You can also turn into a zombie if you get bit and attack them

There is no voice chat and i think this is what keeps the game from getting a better score! you can't tell anyone where to go, or what you're doing. For instance there is one place with an elevator and you can't tell what floor your teammates are on. I guess it makes it a little real but if you could talk to people on the same floor this game would be awsome! It is a little harder, and there are load times longer than those in the past games (The HDD will remove these a little bit) and you still have the basic RE controls which are hard at first, but you'll get use to them.

Bottom Line: I would recommend a rent first. If you love the game then buy it, there are unlockables like alternate clothes and such. I heard the second one comes out soon, If it has voice chat then i will be the first in line to buy it!

I'd have to agree on MVP...haven't tried it online yet because i'm not that great at hitting the ball perfectly except on rookie difficulity.
