It's almost like he can simply transform his gameplay thoughts into pure code. SSX Tricky is an incredible game, especially in the trick-system aspect. I'm not sure there's any type of extreme sport game out there that even compares to this game, besides some of the Tony Hawk games. Gran Turismo does appeal to certain fans, but that doesn't mean the game isn't excellent. A majority of PS2 owners bought Gran Turismo 3, and for a damn good reason: it's the best racing simulation out there. Nothing compares. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is a damn good game, but it's majorly arcade.

My brother'll agree with you on Tricky and Gran Turismo, whereas I disagree with you both. I enjoyed the original alot (as did my bro), to the point where I had constantly played it. When Tricky came out, I no longer could enjoy it because my SSX craving had just died before it came, and Tricky did nothing to get me hooked again (while my brother is STILL fanatical over it). I know this won't be a popular opinion, but I enjoyed Dark Summit and Amped (although I believe both are exclusively for the XBox) alot more than Tricky...though I think the Tony Hawk series is unrivaled in the extreme sport category, anyways. As for Gran Turismo, I prefer my Mario Kart's and F-Zero's more than the simulation-style racing games. They simply don't appeal to me. I aven't played Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 yet, so I can't judge it, but I will try to give it a rental sometime so I can base an opinion on it.
Don't take me as saying "I despise every PlayStation game
EVER!!!", but I do not have the same entertainment with the PS2 that other people seem to have.
