Does the PS2 have any online game play?

May be...

well you know the wii has wi-fi, xbox 360 has xbox live, the ps3 has playstation network, but does the original ps2 have any online? if so how can i play online?

Yep you can play PS2 online - The original or the Slim.

You do need a adapter and you need a ethernet cable which you can connect to the back of your PS2 along with a internet connection and there you go.



Here is the adaptor:

Oh yeah I edited this post, before I said you do not need a adaptor for PS2 online buy you DO need on.

Thanks to 'sgoldperson' who reminded me, I checked my old PS2 box and found one I brought a long time ago that I used to use.

Contrary to what Pro Playstation said YOU do need an adapter. it's called a NETWORK Adapter to be more specific. You'd better check gamestop, but most likely look online. They aren't made anymore because the old playstation 2 isn't made. Not sure how many games you'll still find people playing online though. Also remember that servers may have been shut down due to lack of use, or a new version being put out. To be honest if I were you unless I wanted to play sports games(IF this year's are still on PS2) I wouldn't bother with online.

I think it does but you need an adaptor.
