in ps1 , there are tons for PRG games. so i believe for ps2, there will be also tons of rpg games . but well, if u are into BG or UO, then you better stick to PC.
Good point. RPG gameplay is almost completely different between say, BG2 and FF-X. But that said, there are still many interesting (semi-RPG) games on the PS2 that still draw me back to console gaming. Examples include resident evil, silent hill, MGS I/II, Ico, etc etc ...
