Most games on the PS2 require a memory card so that way you can save your progress and go back to where you were last so that way you don't have to start over from the beginning!  That sucks cuz it happened to me before blah!

Answer 13

You only need a memory card if you either want to save the game, keep all the progress you made on the game, and so you can take the card to a friends house and you can even return to the game where you left off. It can store progress you've made up to that point.

Without a memory card, you will always have to start the games from the beginning. It would be just as if you just bought it.

The memory in the ps2 is ok but your better off with a plug in kind with a lot of memory.
