He had another game too (can't remember what it was called, but it involved monkey's hitting each other with gloves to knock you off a disc and a version of mario kart) which was pretty impressive too. The sound effects alone were enough to make me snort my Mountain Dew
Looks like a good buy for $200 - remains to be seen what the quality of the games will be like in about a year and I still think the PS2 has too big of a head start for it to be another huge console war like back in the Super Nintendo/Sega Megadrive days, but this next year sure is going to be interesting for gamers.
If you've got the cash, pick one up.
