Playstation 2 Anthology Volume 2 (Inbunden) [Böcker]

The PlayStation 2 Anthology Tetralogy celebrates the best-selling console of all time. From its conception to the end of its lifecycle, from its fascinating history to its countless editions—collector’s or otherwise—from its revolutionary architecture and Emotion Engine processor to its most original accessories and the detailed reviews of more than 4,380 unique titles, the PlayStation 2 Anthology stands as the most complete and definitive work ever dedicated to this legendary console.

The second volume of the PlayStation 2 Anthology Tetralogy covers a pivotal chapter in the console’s success. From its launch in Japan, the United States, and Europe to its positioning against major competitors such as the Xbox and GameCube, this volume examines the impact of the built-in DVD player and the provocative advertising campaigns directed by David Lynch. It also features the second section on unreleased games, an extensive presentation of official and third-party accessories, rare and collector’s editions, and an exceptional hardware-focused chapter dedicated to the creation of graphics. Finally, it includes reviews of all officially released games worldwide—up to the beginning of the letter “R”—continuing seamlessly from the first volume.
