Summary: Not as good as game shark
Comment: As previous owner of a GameShark for PS2 (it was stolen after some idiots broke into my apartment), I decided to try something new... I purchased this based on reviews of it having an "intuitive interface" and "better than GameShark". After playing with it for a bit, I know that those reviews can't be further from the truth.

I pride myself in being a somewhat accomplished Techno-phile, but to call this interface "intuitive" is the same as expecting someone who has never worked a computer to be able to write HTML code.

As for better than GameShark?...No way... GameShark comes pre-loaded with more games and better codes. What's the point of cheating the game if you don't have an invincible cheat or infinite money? Those have to be most important cheat codes to just about any game! And they aren't found in all the games on the disk or even on the CodeJunkies site... You can request codes on the site, though... We'll see how that works out...

Summary: Pretty good cheat program
Comment: This is one of the better PS2 cheat systems I've tried. It's not perfect, but it does beat the other major one I have...(I probably can't say the name, but I suppose I can say GS are the initials of the thing).

Pros: Lots of cheats included, and adding cheats manually from their website is pretty simple. If your PS2 is hooked to the internet, you can also just download the cheats. There is also a USB 'flash drive' with software available that lets you download codes to their own special Flash Drive to transfer to the PS2, (purchased seperately), for those who don't wish to muck around with manually entering cheats.

Cons: Like other cheat devices, those writing the cheats don't often do their work properly. You end up with cheats that don't quite work the way they're advertised: (Case in point, the Persona 3 FES code to give you unlimited hitpoints doesn't do anything in fights, your hitpoints will not be unlimited at all, however AFTER a fight, your hitpoints will recover, which is kind of useless). Also, this device loads a bit slowly, though not quite as slow as some others have made it out to be, (It loads in under a minute for me every time).

All that said, this is a handy bit of software to have if you get stuck on a game and really just wanna see the end, or for those like me who replay games a lot, and just find it more fun with cheats when replaying.

Summary: HORRIBLE
Comment: This product works just fine but at what coast may i ask AR MAX comes with many problems like the possible corruption of your memory card and the fact that using it to much on any one game can totaly ruin it because it changes the game itself you can alter the codes to much and say good-bye to your game i used it to much on kingdom Hearts and now the game turns on for about five mins then freezes and shuts down so if you do bye this product keep this in mind the game is worth more than the cheats

Summary: Platstation 2 Action Replay MAX
Comment: I heard about this product looking for PS2 cheat on line. I retired in 2005. Now I enjoy playing video games alot. There are some games that frustrate you because in my case my hand and eye coordination is not as quick as my grandson's LOL. So I have to find a crush, if you will, to help me with the tough parts to some games in order to advance, since my grandson cannot be there all the time LOL. Well I found the solution in this CD. Now my grandsons and I take on the hardest games with confidence. This item is/was worth every penney, and you can connect broadband internet ethernet on the back of you PS2 insert a flash drive to the front of the PS2 and download the updates automatically or manually, depending on your personal setting. We love this CD. One word of warning, this disk is sold to work only in the region you are in(ie,USA, Europe,Asia etc) as does your electronic(PS2, Tv etc) it will not work in other regions electronic etc. So when and if you decide to buy this CD make sure it is the one compatible with the region you live in or you will do like me and mail it back for the correct one. Have fun I know you will, we did and are still.
