  • Game library I love RPGs and the PS2 has lots and lots of them! great!
  • Graphics Pretty good for the time and it the graphics never disappointed me...unless I play an EA game. good
  • Controller(s) Standard PS controller. I can't complain much. I actually like it better than the PS3 controller since it doesn't have the fat L/R 2 buttons. good
  • Design and form factor After 7 years of owning this, it still amazes me how small this thing is! great!
  • Other features (media, online, etc.) For the few times I played a DVD or CD on it did it well and without any problems. good
  • Noise Very little noise! great!
Detailed review
I remember I was in 9th grade when I bought this with saved up money. This is probably my favorite console so far since I played so many great games on it. In fact, I still have one game (FFXII) to finish on it. If you want to get a classic console that can play ALL PS games, then get this! It's very very small and the design is stunning with the sharp corners and matte skin. I really wish that Sony kept this design scheme with the PS3 instead of going for a curvy design.
