Multiplayer action! ^ The multitap is an easy way to play with more than 2 players on the playstaion 2. The multitap has up to 4 controler and memory card slots, but it turns out that I dont use this adapter as much as I thought I would, because I dont constantly have people over at my house when I could use it. And if I do have people over I only have one person over at a time so i dont even need to use the multitap. I have had no porblems with the multitap and overall it is very usefull and I enjoy using it.
DOESN'T WORK ON ALL PS2 ^ IF YOU HAVE A PS2 MORE THAN 2-3 YEARS OLD, THIS MULTITAP WON'T WORK!! DON'T BUY IT UNLESS YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO TRY IT FIRST. THIS MULTITAP WON'T FIT ON YOUR ¨OLD¨ PS2 AND YOU WILL BE PISSED JUST LIKE ME.
To Answer All of Your Questions Based on PS2 OFFICIAL SITE ^ Alrighty then first an explanation of my rating. I give it a three because yeah it is great if you have more than two people who frequently play the ps2 and have at least a couple of ps2 games that can handle multiplayer ability. You should make your own judgement based on this above but beware of a few problems that I am about to clear up that bump it down to a 3. Don't worry these problems DONT include the whining like other reviewers saying its tooooo expensive and they dont have many games to play multiplayer. That is opinionated. I am here to tell you the facts based on my encounter with websites and my own multitap received on Christmas.
Alright number one. Based on sites, the multitap for PLAYSTATION ONE does NOT I repeat does not play ps2 games. You may use it in your playstation 2 but it can only play the playstation 1 games and vice versa with the playstation 2 multitap.
Number 2. There are a couple DIFFERENT TYPES of the Playstation 2 Multitap that you may need to look at. If you have been good adults, boys, girls, and teens you should have kept your playstation 2 manual that came in the box. It will tell you the number/ serial number of the multitaps you may use. It may give you a second party's multitap too but stick with the good old sony quality. [...] There is a multitap out there that I received for christmas for example that says its for the series 7,000 PS2 (meaning the slimmer version that just came out about end of NOV 2004) it says it does not work with some other series (forgot I returned it but the series it was talking about was the older fat PS2). So make sure you buy the right one pertaining to the type and serial of your PS2. The number for the serial of mine I found ON the ps2 in case you need to find it.
To find the right kind you may need to keep checking amazon and your local video game or toy retailers but based on my experiences (I own the old PS2) I have been finding it hard to find the old multitap it is always gone and Best Buy (where my mom got mine which we returned bewause it was for the 7000 series) only carries the 7000 series Multitap in which a store clerk informed us of and is the only one online at Bestbuy.com. So I hope this review has helped and if it hasn't just make sure to kindly ask a store clerk about it before buying. Best Buy and Toys R Us clerks in the gaming department know what they're talking about for the most part if you need assistance.
i could play again! ^ the multitap/adapter is cool. my second slot in my ps2 didn't work. now i could play 4 player on some of my games like ratchet and clank: up your arsenal, downhill domination, and tekken tag. on the mutltitap you can have up too 4 controllers and 4 memory card slots. if you buy 2 multitaps, you can have up to 8 players. get this if you want 4 players.
Multiplayer fun ^ The multitap is the only way for you to play four player in most PS2 games. Unfortunately, a lot of the things that were built in to other systems have to be bought seperately by PS2 users, but it is usually worth the money (the dual shock controlers for PS1, for example). If you want to play games with two or three of your friends, the multitap is a must, but if you're only ever going to play games with one other person or by yourself, don't bother getting it.
