PS2 reviews
Posted by @ 2:26 PM, EDT
The lads over at Gamespot UK have been busy, today they kicked up 4 review of PS2 games:

Golf Paradise (4/10)
For all the total golf heads, you can spend ages on each shot, changing angles of your feet, fiddling with club selection (the auto caddy seems to do just fine every time though) and altering every aspect of your shot. You can make all the alterations you want, but just hitting the O button on every shot seems to handle everything just fine.

Fantavision (7.8/10)
It does sound simple, but as the game progresses it gets harder and faster, and of course the explosions are bigger, better and more colourful. For the first ten minutes or so it is easy to think that the game is nothing special, but after half an hour Fantavision will have you hooked, and you will be dusting down your little black book so that you can find someone special to play it with.

Dead or Alive 2 (8.9/10)
DOA2 also wins hands down when it comes to the environments you fight in. I can remember when Tekken was being hyped and a lot was made out of the fact that every blade of grass could move individually. If you prefer to have some limited interaction with the levels and even multistage levels, then DOA2 is the place to come.

Kessen (3.4/10)
Even if you stood a hope in hell of understanding the storyline from the huge amounts of CGI sequences, the game itself is about as involving as a Mills & Boon book (pick it up, try a passage, wonder why you're bothering and throw it down quickly). Kessen looks like it could be running on, dare I say it, a normal PlayStation. There's nothing impressive about the look at all.
