I have played the game since 2012, and never played it online until last year. My dad who has played online back in the day told me so much about him and his friends, beating high scores in that play mode Downtown and all that jazz.
He's told me so much in fact that i really wanted to play online somehow. So i figured out last year and here i am. I got my dad back to the game and he still enjoys it, except for the lag because we play on emulators. His emulator is not working so i'm doing a new project to get him on a regular fat model ps2 to play on.
My father's name was and still is Bloodbath for those of you wondering and if anybody here played with him.
