Recommend me a PS2 game!

I could list some games, and I will, but I will say this. PS2 games are so cheap these days, you might as well buy it if you like the look of it.
With the exception of certain sought after titles (your Okamis, SOTCs and Persona, for example), most pre-owned PS2 games have a market value of around 50p to £1, £2 at most. While all these recommendations are good, worth trying and all, one of the coolest things about playing PS2 is being able to scour boot fairs, charity shops, etc, and coming home with something you've never heard of, spent 50p on, and turns out to be awesome. I guess that's just what I like.
I recommend:
Odin Sphere - beautiful high-res sprite art in a 2D side-scrolling brawler with interlocking stories all about Valkyries, developed by Atlus
Maximo - very hard 3D platformer remake of Ghosts 'n' Goblins
Forbidden Siren - uncanny valley facial animation second-sight horror game
Dragon Quest - Best. JRPG. Ever

Lots of good games mentioned already, but a couple more...
Harvest Moon - Wonderful Life: Easily the best HM game, ignore the childish impression the game gives, it'll give the most hardcore gamer a run for their money. Brilliant setting and characters, well worth a look if you feel like something a bit more sand boxy and different.
Half Life: Not an ideal conversion but pretty good. The best thing about it though is that theres a really challenging and enjoyable co-op split screen mode... not the whole game, but a decent sized side game.

I was just about to recommend it myself but he beat me to it. Man that was a good game.MrChainsawNinja said:
Seeing as so many people have said Kingdom Hearts, I'll throw this out there:
Dark Cloud 1 and 2, or Dark Chronicle (number 2) if you're in Europe. It's easily the best adventure game I've ever played. My childhood is that game.

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, still the best car racing game ever made
James Bond: Nightfire made for some great mutliplayer FPS action, but I guess it'd feel dated now. Try XIII now though for some awesome cartoon violence!
