I'm going to have to agree with the PS2, even though I never had one it had a massive life span, was affordable, brought DVD Technology to the the everyman, many classic Compilations and basically every genre of game was supported so it would be basically impossible to not like something on the unit.

Introduced motion control to the mainstream maybe, but it wasn't at all a new idea or even a unique implementation.

Yes, there were things like the U-Force, Power glove and Sega activator before it. But it was the first competent implementation of it and the first time that I'm aware it was packaged with the hardware by default.

You're probably (understandably) forgetting the xavix.  The Wii is essentially the same thing but with a big budget.

Not forgotten at all. that's why I used the term "competent implementation"

Set up correctly, they control just fine.

I've played Tennis and baseball on it and it's considerably worse than the Wii Sports version of those games.

If I go to Turbofest, I'll bring XaviX and Jacki Chan, so you can run through streets of Hong Kong using the POWER MAT.

Samba De Amigo maracas are the only motion sensing accessory you will ever need. Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake.  Best implementation to date.  :P

Never played the Dream Cast verson...

but I did get the Wii port for .99 cents a few months back as everything Wii (that isn't first party games or Mario) goes for $14 dollars and bellow....


the game was okay and looked nice.....but seriously felt it would have been more entertaining if it had kept the original concept of the controllers being shaped like maracas...much like how the Donkey Kong Jungle Beats game is more fun with the bongos then with the Wii motion port.

I had heard they ported it to the Wii. Then I chose to ignore that fact, forget that I ever heard it,  and picked up a few sets of maracas for the DC (cuz damn they're kewl). Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. I really miss the Sonic Team of that era. They made some great games for the DC.

Will everyone touting the PS2 please leave and go somewhere else?

"Greatest console of all time? Dur... that Sony thing I bought at Gamestop ten years ago. It had Madden and the FPS = GREATEST CONSOLE EVA!"
