hi I am a bit of a techno mother, now my 8 year old son keeps telling me to get ps2 games, but they turn out to be for older players, so everyone give me a few names of games that would be ok for my son. pretty please, thank ye muchley
Try some Disney games like "Cars" or "Kingdom Hearts". Games from kids movies. If you want to know what's appropriate, there's a rating box on the lower left corner of the ps2 game box. Most "everyone" rated games should be good.
to be perfectly honest they are very hard to find in stores these days, But anything based on a kids movie would be fine. Most games these days are just not meant for an 8yr old.
My friend had the same problem. He bought an Xbox for his 3 kids. Went to EB Games and they had about 3 games in the store meant for kind. Me being the internet savy friend i am went to a few sites and found him about 20 more made for kids like
The Cat In The Hat
Cars
Disney Extreme Skate Adventure
Spongebob Squarepants (battle for bikini bottom, and lights camera pants)
Shamu's Depp Sea Adventure
some Barbie horse game
Animaniacs The Great Edgar Hunt
Egg Mania
Shark Tale
Madagascar
The Incredibles
Pinball Hall Of Fame
Frogger Antient Shadow
Atari Anthology
Wallace and Grommit Curse Of THe Ware Rabbit
Ice Age 2 The Meltdown
Scooby Doo Unmasked
Nickalodeon Party Blast
some games i know they have for PS2 (you will have to check the above as those were for Xbox, but they may have a PS2 version)
Scooby Doo Unmasked
Shark Tale
there are two TAK games
Polar Express
Tiger Woods 07 (good golf game with nothing that a kid should not see)
Garfield
Froggers Adventures
Outrun Coast to Coast
Colin Mcrae Rally (racing game)
Lego Star Wars 1&2
Lego Soccer Mania
Charlotte's Web
Pinball Hall Of Fame
Meet The Robinsons
I did not get to look thorugh them all as the site i was on has 1260 PS2 entries on it. I only got through the first 200, LOL
But i am sure you get the idea.
Thanks guys, that gives me heaps to look for, my little 8yr old is right into his ps2, and our computer, he is my little geek in training, lol thanks again deb
Katamari Damacy is a good game, for both kids and adults. All you do is roll a ball around a huge room and whatever it touches it sticks to the ball. Very challenging, but also easy to pick up.
Also I came upon a fantastic little game called Rez. Its a music game, and the gameplay is simple, but the simplistic wire-frame graphics your kid may not like.
