Sony’s Play Station 2 is a delightful device – fun, interactive and often incredibly frustrating. “Arrgh!,” you may find yourself thinking “Why can’t I just get that weapon / tool / trinket I need to move to the next level?!?” After hours of effort you may find yourself at the point of throwing your very valuable PS2 against the wall and giving up.
Before you take those drastic steps, you might want to consider some cheat and walkthroughs for PS2. What are those? I’m glad you asked. Cheat codes are tips or “hints” from experienced gamers (or sometimes the developers themselves) that will help you get past difficult spots or, perhaps, get the game to do something it wasn’t originally designed to do. Walkthroughs are more comprehensive documents that provide sometimes hundreds of pages on how to successfully move through a game. They serve as instruction manuals for those points when you just can’t see your way to the next point in the game.
Hundreds of sites offer options for getting past the rough patches in every game – and who knows, once you become a master at a particular game you might even be able to post a few codes yourself! One of the first places you’ll want to stop at is GameWinners. Here you’ll gain access to thousands upon thousands of cheat and walkthroughs for PS2 in every game from 18 Wheeler: American Protrucker to Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner. Another great option is PSExtremes, which offers both cheats and comprehensive walkthroughs for many popular PS2 games. The walkthrough for Final Fantasy XII, for example, takes you from beginning to end of the game, with plenty of useful information in between.
How will cheat and walkthroughs for PS2 help you get through the game? Well, take the example of PS2’s 2006 FIFA World Cup cheats on the GameWinners site. The game is set up to require you to buy teams before you can start your illustrious career. The site offers you a cheat code for starting your career with your favorite team without having to buy all the career teams. So, for example, if you’re a fan of Arsenal, you can go straight to that team.
Or, if you just can’t get started with Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, review the complete walkthrough available on the PSExtremes site and you’ll get going in no time.
As you’re exploring cheat and walkthroughs for PS2 remember that these are intended as occasional helpers. If you rely on them too heavily you’ll take all the fun out of figuring out the game on your own. Some gamers use them only after they’ve figured out as much of the game as they can on their own. That why, they’ve had the opportunity to explore, without becoming too dependent.
Finally, bear in mind that sometimes the better part of valor is, well, giving up. If you just can’t get yourself through a game and are at the point where you don’t really care whether you ever gain the highest level, it’s OK. Just buy some more PS2 games and have a go at them! Remember, it’s supposed to be fun.
