Playstation 2 game recommendations

[jebara]

I came in here to recommend Persona 4 but I see that I don't need to.

Other Shin Megami Tensie games like Nocturne(they are different from the Persona games)
Devil May Cry 1/3
Dragon Ball Z Bodukia 3
Metal Gear Solid 2/3
Kingdom Hearts 2
Grand Theft Auto series(although they can feel a bit dated now)
Bully
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition

Katamari Damacy/We Love Katamari

I second this. I've got up to the million roses fan and the zany fun and unique gameplay keeps me playing.

 

[TheKaduflyerSystem]

Timesplitters, all of them.
Jak and Daxter, all of them. (yes even Jak X)
Ratchet and Clank, 1,2 and 3 are must haves but Gladiator wasn't received so well and deviated a bit from the rest of the series.
Star Wars Battlfront, both of them.
There are others but these are great no matter what kind of gamer you are.

Ace Combat. Every part you can get your hands on.
Shin Megami Tensei series
Final Fantasy X
Devil May Cry 3
God of War 1+2
Burnout series
MediEvil (The first game I ever played and still one of the best)

CAPTCHA: want more?

TimeSplitters Future Perfect
----------------------------
Comedic story mode with co-op, 4 player split-screen, 150 playable characters, weapons spanning several FPS genres, Challenges, League, and a mapmaker giving you the tools to create your own story and challenges is enough reason to buy this game.

Persona 4
---------
A estimated 90 hour JRPG that manages to fill every second of every minute with quality. Deep characters with realistic personalities that shape and grow throughout, excellent dialog, stylish graphics, and a fast paced challenging combat system that is satisfying to master that requires very little grind. I won't even attempt to explain the story as this is a game that deserves to be taken on completely clueless.

Rule Of Rose/Silent Hill 2 & 4
------------
Rule Of Rose is an incredibly rare horror game that very few people have even heard of. As someone who has played every horror game that has come out on Playstation 2 I recommend this as the greatest horror game on the platform. However keep in mind that this is not your traditional horror game. If you are looking for a more traditional horror game I'd suggest either Silent Hill 2 or 4 as they are tied for second place in my book.

If you can find it you should definitely try Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land. It's an amazingly atmospheric RPG Dungeon Crawler.

I love the hell out of that game, one of the best RPGs made for the PS2, hell, one of the best games period, and I don't say that lightly. It's a shame that game isn't as well known, really.

Basically, you're set loose in a town where an evil disaster has happened, and you're suffering from amnesia (I know, I know, bear with me). You've got an inn, a chapel, a shop and the dungeon with primarily 11 levels of varying visuals and enemies, however, after completing those, you can descend farther down for an unknown amount of levels. The internet isn't sure about how many there are, but it's speculated to either 99, 999 or even 9999 levels. No one has reached the bottom, so yeah..

Gameplay is standard turn based RPG fare with a party of six. However, the main mechanic is based around Trust, which rewards you with having a party who's been together for many battles. Trust awards you with special manouvers and attacks which adds very much to the game.

Ack.. I'm rambling. Just get it. Get eeet.

Nothing beats the little cinematic you get when you purify an area

If you end up liking the persona series you should buy the other Shin Megami Tensei games, they're freaking hard, but a lot of fun.

You could also buy Soul Calibur if you like fighters, Disgaea if you like strategy games, Okami if you like games like Legend of Zelda, the Hitman series, Timesplitters 2 or 3, the Tales series, you have a lot to chose from

 

[Baron_Rouge]

Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect, XIII, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time/Warrior Within (maybe)/Two Thrones, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, God of War, Devil May Cry 3, Final Fantasy X...lots of stuff but mainly...

TIMESPLITTERS!!!! Yeah!
