Playstation 2 InformationPlayStation 2 is one of the most famous video game consoles in the world. It won’t be far-fetched to say that of all the consoles in the history of video games, Sony’s PlayStation 2, known as PS2 has recorded the most success. They sold approximately 155 million units across the globe. Their longevity was amazing, considering the fact that the first set of units came out early 2000 and they produced the last set about a decade after in 2012.The console’s extraordinary success can be attributed to certain factors.
They took advantage of the momentum from the first PlayStation, which successfully captured the adult game market. Even though started 128-bit generation before them, the PS2 was closely behind them and even had better hardware capability.In addition, it was actually the first game to introduce DVD media, which turned out to be a great marketing idea considering the fact that it was introduced at a time when a lot of families used DVDs – Sony gave buyers an opportunity to enjoy their movies and game in one device. With the inclusion of the DVD device, adults could now have consoles in their sitting rooms, unlike when they had to tuck it away in the basement or in the kid’s room.The “Emotion Engine” was one of the biggest marketing points in the early days of the PS2. This was the nickname given to the central processor of the console. It was a powerful and innovative design, specially optimized for 3D gaming.

Just like the PlayStation, Sony put a lot of effort into making it friendly for third-party designers.That’s not to say a console is only about marketing and hardware. When it comes down to it, its game line-up is out of this world and the PS2 with its library of more than 1,800 original titles will probably be considered the strongest in the history of gaming. Almost all the genres have at least one or two hit tittles. Although the titles launched in 2000 were just average, 2001 came with some hit titles that put the PS2 at the top of the market: Gran Turismo 3, Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy X, A-Spec, Jak and Daxter, Metal Gear Solid 2: And the biggest of them all is The Wrath of Cortex.Although they were not really part of the plan when they launched the console, the inclusion of the Firewire ports and USB turned out great.
The Rock Band series and the Guitar Hero also turned out to be huge sellers. Although devices such as the Eye Toy were more a niche market than anything, they actually laid the foundation for other motion-controlled and camera-based systems for the next consoles released.In the course of its lifetime, the PS2 witnessed the release of different form factors, but the “slim” and “fat” cases are the two major variants. The slim case was first released in 2004, with a lower profile and a hard drive expansion bay that weighed significantly less. You should note that not all games require an expansion hard drive and the Final Fantasy XI is one game that uses it.At the end of the day, the PS2 turned out to be a console that had something that everyone could enjoy, which is probably why it is one of the best-selling games in history. Most of the genres have amazing titles, and retro enthusiasts in particular, will pay anything for this line-up. Though you can hardly go wrong with this console, some of its strong suits include sports, open-world sandbox titles, racing and Japanese RPGs. And Roms can be easily found on our website and you can play any of the most popular on your home computer, laptop or even mobile platform with the help of emulator, which can also be found on our website.

The Last Blade 2[a] is a video game developed and released by SNK in 1998. Like its predecessor, The Last Blade, it is a weapons-based versus fighting game originally released to arcades via the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, although it has since been released for various other platforms.
Gameplay[edit]
Gameplay elements remain the same as its predecessor with some minor adjustments. An 'EX' mode was added to play, which is a combination of 'Speed' and 'Power'. The mood is grimmer than its predecessor through the introduction to the game. The characters are colored slightly darker, and the game's cut-scenes are made longer to emphasize the importance of the plot. Characters are no longer equal, hosting greater differences of strengths and weaknesses than before.
Plot[edit]
The game is set one year after the events of the first game. Long before humanity existed, death was an unknown, equally distant concept. When death first came to the world, the 'Messenger from Afar' was born. With time, the Sealing Rite was held to seal Death behind Hell's Gate. At that time, two worlds, one near and one far, were born, beginning the history of life and death. Half a year has passed since Suzaku's madness, and the underworld is still linked by a great portal. Our world has been called upon. Legends of long ago told of the sealing of the boundary between the two worlds. The Sealing Rite would be necessary to hold back the spirits of that far away world.
Characters[edit]
Three new characters were introduced:
- Hibiki Takane: daughter of a famed swordsmith, she is searching for the silver-haired man that requested the last blade her father made.
- Setsuna: a being believed to be the 'Messenger from Afar', he requested a blade to be forged by Hibiki's father.
- Kojiroh Sanada: Shinsengumi captain of Unit Zero; investigating the Hell's Portal.
Home versions[edit]
The Last Blade 2 was made available for various consoles, including SNK's own Neo Geo AES and Neo Geo CD. The Neo Geo CD version includes an extra quiz mode, voiced cutscenes, and a gallery section featuring art from both Last Blade titles. Most of these additional features were also included with the Dreamcast port titled Last Blade 2: Heart of the Samurai, released in 2001.[1] The Neo Geo CD and Dreamcast versions added an additional character named Musashi Akatsuki. A Neo Geo Pocket Color conversion entitled The Last Blade - Beyond the Destiny (幕末浪漫特別編 月華の剣士 ~月に咲く華、散りゆく花~, Bakumatsu Roman Tokubetsu-hen: Gekka no Kenshi - Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana, “Romance of the Bakumatsu Special: Swordsman of the Moonlight - On the Moon a Flower Blooming, a Petal Falling”) was released in Japan on March 13, 2000.

The Last Blade 2 was subsequently bundled with the original Last Blade for a PlayStation 2 compilation released only in Japan; both games are arcade perfect emulations of the original games. At PlayStation Experience 2015, SNK Playmore announced PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions of The Last Blade 2 developed by Code Mystics.[2]
Reception[edit]
In 2012, GamesRadar included Last Blade 2 among the little-known classic fighting games that deserve HD remakes, calling it 'one of the Neo Geo’s prettiest, deepest fighters.'[3]
