I don’t know that there’s anything wrong with PS2 Third Strike so much as the Online Edition is better. People do tend to overblow an imperfect port as “bad”, but on the issues that really matter, the PS2 port is close enough. (I will say this against it, though: the menu music is pretty annoying when you accidentally leave it on the TV in the other room for hours—it’s not a very long loop. Yes, this is from experience.)

I’m going to guess that in most places the PS2 port now costs more than the Online Edition does, and due to the difference in online capabilities, I think it’s pretty clear which port is currently the best one to get if you have a choice.
