The Editors Desk:
The Multitap connects up to four controllers into one port on your PlayStation2 console. With one Multitap, up to five players can get in on the action--with two Multitaps, up to eight players can battle it out simultaneously. The Multitap allows additional memory cards to be in use at the same time. It is ideal for party games, sports games, and first-person shooters.

 5 is better then 2
With the Multitap for the PS2, you can have five people play games. Most PS2 games only allow 1 or 2 players, but the few games that allow four or more make this little accessory worthwhile. With a Multitap you can store 5 memory cards.The majority of the games with Multitap capability are sports games. Some of the highest rated games that are Multitap compatible include Gauntlet Dark Legacy, NBA LIVE 2002, NHL 2002, Madden 2002, TimeSplitters, Quake 3 Arena - Revolution, ATV Off Road, Unreal Tournament, and DOA2. [...] The Multitap is not backward Compatible with PS1 games. Hopefully the price will drop and more games will be built for multiplayer. Another problem is some games require the Multitap be plugged in slot 1 or 2 specifically, requiring moving it for different games. I would only recommend getting this if you have the money, games and guests to make the most of it! It's a blast for parties or the family gatherings!
A must have for the PS2
First off, lets clear up one thing. The original PSX Multi-Tap DOES work on the PS2. Unfortunately, you can only use it for original PSX games like Crash Team Racing. You just have to plug it into the First Player Controller Port, not the second. Then, plug your memory card into it and, voila. That said, if you have any intention of playing any form of PS2 Multi Player games, you have no choice but to buy this item. I have FIFA 2001 and its a blast with four players. My only reason for only giving it 4 stars is that Sony had no right to release the system without Four Controller ports. That was just a blatant excuse to make more money by forcing us to put out extra money for this device. And unfortunately, they'll succeed because only hermits and people with the disposition of a rabid rotweiler don't own at least one Multi-Player game. Shame on Sony for this blatant slap in the face of players and their pockets. And shame on me for not checking enough, in the rush, to find out that my original multi-tap wasn't going to work with the new games. Especially on a system that was SUPPOSED to be completely backward compatible. Kudos to them, however, for making me more buyer aware. You won't catch me like that a second time.
YOU PEOPLE ARE FEEDING SONY!!!
