theguyfromspark Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm getting a PS2 at the end of the month having never owned one before so I'm building a list of exclusives that i'm going to rent over the summer that I've obviously not been able to play before. So far I've got the following: God of War God of War 2 Shadow of the Collosus Final Fantasy XII Canis Canem Edit Okami Metal Gear Solid 3 Dragon Quest VIII Are there any obvious ones I'm missing, bearing in mind I'm not too bothered about Driving or Fighting games?

Cube Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Make sure you get the Subsistence (I think it's called that) version of MGS3, not Snake Eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Final Fantasy X, Ico, Devil May Cry 3:Special Edition, and MGS 2 if you haven't played it-It's kinda exclusive. Kingdom Hearts might be to your liking as well. Maybe the Silent Hill games too, try looking here for rated games http://www.metacritic.com/games/ps2/scores/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromspark Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Cheers, I forgot about Kingdom Hearts, need to give them a try. I've already got MGS2 on Xbox (didn't really understand the plot but it was ok). Not sure if ICO will be available as it's fairly obscure isn't it? I had silent hill 2 on Xbox too, is 3 and 4 any better? Edit: Never mind, I've found ICO on swapgame so I'll get that too. If you guys could only rent 2 games out of the above list, which would they be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys could only rent 2 games out of the above list, which would they be? Ico got rereleased last year with Shadow of the Colossus. Okami definitely! one of the most beautiful games ever made! not sure about a second on, Okami's huage and most of the games on the list are pretty meaty too so i wouldn't recommend renting 2 of them at once.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ico is easily bought on ebay. It's absolutely excellent as well. Also (off the top of my head) all three Ace Combats, the .Hack series, Burnout Dominator, Soul Calibur 3, Forbidden Siren, Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, Ecco the Dolphin, Disgaea 1 and 2, PaRappa the Rapper 2, R-Type Final, Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King, Dark Cloud 1 and 2, Shadow of Rome, some of the Eyetoy games, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Fatal Frame (Project Zero), God Hand, Grandia 2 and 3, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Metal Slug 3-6, Katamari and We ♥ Katamari, OKAMI, Wild Arms 3 and 4, Psychonauts, Rez, Rogue Galaxy, Sly Cooper 1, 2 and 3, Space Channel 5: Special Edition, Yakuza and uh... ZOE 1 and 2. EDIT- Shadow Hearts 1, 2 and 3 are glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked on swapgame and can't find Kingdom Hearts 1... only 2 which is annoying, might have to buy it instead, shouldn't be much these days i hope.

Its on platinum now so you can get it for £12.99 on gameplay I think. That goes for number 2 aswell. EDIT: Just checked and yeah thats how much they are.

theguyfromspark Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Didn't want to buy any games for it as I spend too much on games anyway! I guess the list I've already got is more than enough to keep me going for a year. Will probably go the God Of War and ICO games first as they're more my cup of tea.

KKOB Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is it wrong to prefer DMC to GoW? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is it wrong to prefer DMC to GoW? lol Yes, Yes it is! Seriously though, both are awesome games but I prefer GoW as it seems more fun to play as you dont get punished and pushed back a level when you die.

Tellyn Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is the 24 game a turd? I enjoy the show and like the idea of playing a series! It didn't get good reviews, but I loved it, it really captured the feeling of the show. Plus, you can pick it up extremely cheap now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0009RWI22/ref=pd_bbs_sr_olp_2/026-2009823-2931610?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1179860606&sr=8-2 £3.11 new. I think I ordered from that seller, the delivery was fast and it was sealed in the box. If you don't want to order from a seller (even though they're a small company), Play.com have it for £7.99 Delivered. http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation2/4-/570383/24-The-Game/Product.html I also recommend Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah, I also enjoyed 24 The Game and since you like the show and it's cheap, get it. Kingom Hearts I and II are awesome games, probably my favourite PS2 games so I'd reccomend them too. Also God Of War I and II, Final Fantasy X, Shadow Of The Collosus and MGS 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Guitar Hero I + II can be had pretty cheap on PS2 these days. I noticed a while back when Asda were selling PS2s for £50 that a PS2 + GHII was only £10 more than the 360 version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
