Hmm, personally I perfer PC gaming to console gaming, however if it’s a good racing sim like Project Gotham Racing, I don’t mind. I tried playing SOCOM II once on PS2, urgh. So hard to control. I’d say Hardware: Online Arena is just pushing the “playable” boundries.

It depends… games where there aren’t many controls are fine, but GTA, where you have the car/on foot controls (and you’re used to playing it on the PS2) and can’t remember the key combinations for absolutly everything, it’s just impossible for me
It’s like Myst (point and click game) for the PC is just annoying on the PS2, as you only use like, the d-pad and the X, I suppose it depends if the game was originally designed for the PC and then made for the PS2 as an after thought, or vice-versa.

True. I mean, I can play GTA Vice City perfectly on PS2 after around 5 minutes, but it’s a little dodgy on PC, unless you have a weeks’ “training”.
