How to Play a PS2 Game Using a LAN Connection

Setting up a local area network (LAN) is an easy way to play multiplayer PlayStation 2 games--when you have more than one PlayStation 2 console in the same household, dormitory or apartment complex. Several PlayStation 2 games support LAN play, such as Twisted Metal: Black and Star Wars: Battlefront II. See Resources for a link to a full list of LAN-compatible PlayStation 2 games.
