I HAVE A PS3. And it is delicious.
Here's my review so farrrrrrrr~
So, I wasn't expecting it at all. My mom said that because they were getting me a laptop that I wouldn't be getting it. And they got it. Hahaha, they always do that.
Because they got me the 80 GB version, it came with MotorStorm :) But they bought me Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Sonic the Hedgehog.
I wish I could have gotten the 60 GB version though (it was discontinued), because it came with the PS2 hardware in it. Instead, the 80 GB version uses the Emotion Engine to emulate PS2 hardware, and unfortunately it's not compatible for all PS2 games. Sony did this to make the PS3 cheaper.
Anyway, the new Ratchet and Clank game is one opf the greatest games in the universe. It's fun, hilarious, and actually has a semi-serious story. Plus, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm not really sure what else to say except that I loooooooooooooove ittttttttttttt.
Which is completely opposite of the Sonic game, which might be the crappiest game I've ever played. And the weirdest.
So, it starts out with this Final Fantasy-esque CG movie, and all of a sudden THERE'S SONIC. And he looks so weird in it. And then you actually get to the gameplay where the graphics are sub-par and the people of the city look like... everyday people in a magical kingdom. As my sister best put it, "It looks like it was made by three different companies." The game has terrible loading times and has to load for just about everything. One time it had to load for five minutes for a scene that only lasted two seconds long, only to go to another loading screen. The game is insanely glitchy and the saving system is stupid. However, the game is great to invite friends over and laugh at, so it somewhat redeems itself. I guess it was the chepaest PS3 game there at $20.
I haven't tried MotorStorm yet, but my friend loves it.
I tried testing out my old PS and PS2 games. My results thus far:
Apparently all PS games work on it. :)
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando (Haven't tired the first game yet) -- Ummm, totally did not work at all.
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal -- Game played like it was in slow motion! But everything else worked perfectly.
Psychonauts -- Despite the game's glitchiness, the PS3 improved it and the framerate tremendously. Also, because of the upscaling the graphics look a lot better. The only downside is that some of the movie sequnces have parts of the dialog that repeat.
Tekken 4: Not compatible.
Tekken 5: Compatible, but the screen is shaky.
Kingdom Hearts II: Works absolutely perfectly, but looks even better. :)
That's all I've checked so far, but I plan on checking all my Jak games tonight and maybe some other ones if I get around to it.
Although I wish my PS3 had the PS2 hardware in it, Sony releases downloadable updates and eventually all the glitchiness should be gone.
Overall I am very very pleased~~~
And I have yet to connect my PSP to it because the charger is broken :(
