Recommend me a PS2 game!

[Bobby_D]

All the ones I would suggest are taken except one:

Motherfuckin' PSYCHONAUTS.

And just for the sake of repetition, to let them sink into your brain:

Shadow of the Colossus
Timesplitters 2
God of War 1, 2
Silent Hill 2

and I hear the Persona series (and, from what I've heard, most of the Shin Megami Tensei series) are very good, but I've never played them myself.

There's dozens upon dozens; the PS2 was one of the best systems ever...you really missed out, man!

 

[The_Yeti]

FF12 for mindless time consumption,

Dragonquest 8 for a beautiful masterpiece that is unfortunately a turn by turn but makes up for it with beauty.

GTA Vice City, arguably the best the series had to offer.

if i could remember more i'd say so, but if your looking for a golden oldie try the ps1 game Intelligent Cube.

 

[commasplice]

If you like fighters, I'd recommend Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I doubt you've gone this long without playing it, but it was ported to the PS2, so I figured it'd be a reasonable suggestion. I also thought DBZ Budokai (1 through 3) was a pretty fun series. Not perfect by any means, but fun. Everything else I can think of has been suggested.

Psychonauts- Weird, cheeky and fun
We <3 Katamari- Again, weird cheeky and fun
SSX Tricky- Unbelievably fun snowboarding game. Really well done and great as a multiplayer game.
Burnout revenge- drive around and destroy your car and hundreds of others too.

Edit: I just remembered Summoner 2. An older game, but I had heaps of fun with it.

 

[AlexNora]

Odin Sphere is a great game for ps2

 

[Hell Kaiser]

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, the shin megami tensei games, and dragonquest 8

 

[UbarElite]

Persona 4 has already been said I bet (Looking back up, the first comment. Good catch.), so I would recommend Odin Sphere. Sort of a sidescrolling beatemup rpg thing. It has an amazing aesthetic and was fun to play, a nice throwback to older beatemups.

 

[StraightToHeck]

Star Wars Battlefront II

 

[Darth_Dude]

Ace Combat 04. Definitely one of the BEST air combat games I've ever played. It got pretty good reviews too. And its got a pretty decent story.

 

[Skobvs]

Persona 4. Get it now.

Definitely this. I've just done my first playthrough over 3 weeks, and boy.. some of the best fun you can have with a ps2!

 

[Jay Cool]

Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner is one of my favourite games, big boss battles, fast paced action and giant robots with crazy attacks make this a game worth getting, seriously, also the first one was awesome as well: Zone of the Enders.

Shadow of the Colossus has already been said, but I too think it was awesome.

 

[DracoSuave]

Persona 4. Get it now.

Edit: And I guess Persona 3.

This man is the herald of truth in these dark times.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Ratchet and Clank series
Jak and Daxter series
Sly series
God of War series
Shadow of the Colossus
Dynasty Warriors 3, 4 and 5
Samurai Warriors 2

 

[Layz92]

God of War, Dues Ex, Kula World (even though it is PS1), Scarface game, The GTAs.

 

[llafnwod]

Shadow of the Colossus
Ico
Okami
Killer 7
Katamari (any and all)
God of War
Persona 3/4
Ratchet and Clank 1-3
Rez
Shinobi
Silent Hill 2
Zone of the Enders
Disgaea 1/2 (if you don't have them for DS/PSP)
Beyond Good and Evil (if you don have it for PC/XBOX)

 

[Lilitu]

Shadow of the Colossus

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!
That's the one to get!!

But it is going to be re-released for the PS3, too, together with Ico (http://ps3.ign.com/objects/075/075635.html)

If you like RPGS:
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Shin megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Shin megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2
Shadow Hearts (There are two more Shadow Hearts-games for PS2 but I think the first one was the best)

 

[Ogargd]

Ratchet and Clank series
Jak and Daxter series
Shadow of the Colossus

And that's it from me, those are all the really stand out games I can remember from my time with the PS2.

 

[briunj04]

For the love of god and for your own good, buy Okami. One of the best games that I've ever played and also just beautiful *sniff sniff* Beautiful, I say!!! The art and music are superb. It'd probably be the biggest argument for why games are art if it weren't for

Shadow of the Colossus. This is also a great game, but it's just one of those games that you need to play lest you want your gamercard to get taken away.

And thirdly, Burnout 3. Yeah, this isn't really the artsy type of game like the previous two that I mentioned, but it's so fast paced that it makes Sonic look like he's shamed his family and gives you such an adrenaline rush that you just wanna chug Red Bull and ride a plane down a snowy mountain.

Those are my top 3, others include:
Jak and Daxter, Guilty Gear X2, Devil May Cry 3, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest VIII, and Viewtiful Joe

 

[silent_noir_67]

all of the ratchet and clank games
all of the jak and daxter games
all of the sly cooper games
starwars battlefront
yeah

 

[InsipidMadness]

This has probably already been said, but hands down:

Resident Evil 4
