Another PS2 Recommendation Thread

[Sleekgiant]

Greetings Escapees,

So I just picked up my fourth PS2(kept trading them in D and got a copy of Shadow of the Colossus but am wondering what other great games have been missed.

Games I will be getting:
Resident Evil 4
Silent Hill 2
Black
Okami

So what I want are some other great PS2 and PS1 games so I can build my collection.

Haven't there been like 4 of these today?
Anyway, Metal gear solid 3 and 2, Tekken 4, Jak 3 and San andreas are all great.

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction,
TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect,
Beyond Good & Evil,
Jak & Daxter and all sequels (exluding Jak X: Combat Racing),
Burnout Revenge,
Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3,
Bully (Canis Canim Edit),
Most if not all GTAs,

I could go on and on.

Is TimeSplitters any good? I bought it & it really doesn't grab me, but I've heard so many good things about it.
Does it get better? I'm not very far in.

1st or 2nd? I know the first had a very poor single player, it was 2 and especially 3 that upped the single player ante. 3 is awesome.

I've played a bit of Timesplitters and it didn't grab me as well, it must be one of those "not for everyone" hits.

1st.
I should probably pick up that second controller.

If you don't have one already, get a second controller. I hate not having co-op.

Yeah, I think Free radical have said they didn't really bother with the single player in the first one, because they were on a deadline to get it out at release. In fact if you were going for single player only I'd say 3 would be your best bet. I preferred 2's multi, but then maybe that's because it was first. It definitely feels a little different though.

Manhunt! It will make you appreciate prisons and mental hospitals. If played alone in a dark room, when your all alone and the brightness set just right you will be scared ... I will refund the cost of the game if your not!

Edit: go and get the rest of the MGS games although (atleast were I live) there a bit tricky to get your hands on.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening was loads of fun. That's kinda the only game I have in mind.

I think I have a Dual Shock floating around, if not I'll find one definitely.

My favorite PS2 games would be:

1. Jak II
2. Radiata Stories
3. Sly Cooper 1
4. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
5. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
6. Sly 3
7. Ratchet: Deadlocked
8. Sly 2
9. Jak 3
10. Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando

As you can see, the three big platformer series' (Jak, Ratchet, and Sly) all really appealed to me. Radiata Stories is a fantastic JRPG from Tri-Ace, the makers of Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. Game Informer gave it a 9.25.

If you like JRPGs, Dragon Quest 8 is pure awesomeness, Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King, and another game, I can't remember it now, you play this pshycic guy escaping from institution and you get flashbacks to before you had those abilites, and the game just goes craxy banana sh*t on you at the end.

Someone help me here, can't remember the title>.<

Kingdom Hearts
Ultimate Spiderman
Dynasty Warriors 5 (Heaven in comparison to any other)
Final Fantasy XII

San-I'm-gonna-blow-your-brains-out-Andreas

 

[Phoenixmgs_v1legacy]

Shadow of Destiny (one of the best game stories on PS2)
Mercenaries (best sandbox game ever, better than all the GTAs)
Midnight Club 2 (best arcade racer ever, the street design in Paris is the best)
Hitman 2 (one of the best stealth games I've ever played)
Deus Ex (one of the best games ever)

 

[Ultress]

If you like JRPGS then:

P3FES: $15 for a fucking awesome game that's stuffed to the gills with content.

P4: FES' sequel more of the same but polished to a mirror shine and the murder mystery plot is awesome.

If you don't then ignore this and look at another person's post because most of the games listed kick ass.

DeJa vu?

I swear I saw a thread just like this a couple of minutes ago!
