I just bought a PS2, what are the must-have games?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've only ever owned Nintendo consoles (GB, GBC, GBpocket, GBA, DS, SNES, N64, Cube) and a Sega (Mega-drive 2), but I just bought a cheap modded* PS2 and I'm unsure of what games to get.

 

Can anyone recommend me some really great titles? I tend to like RPG/adventure games (but I dislike Final Fantasy due to the amount of cutscenes and bad gameplay) like Zelda, Breath of Fire, Earthbound, etc - and quirky games like Katamari and Rez.

 

What I already own: We Love Katamari, Rez, Ultimate Spiderman, GTA:VC, AFL 2003

What I want but can't find: Beyond Good & Evil, Code: Veronica, Super Monkey Ball DX

What I'm unsure about because it sounds really interesting, but a little boring: Ico

 

* To play my imported "We Love Katamari" which won't come out here in Aus, not warez

Everyone knows Rez plays better with the trance vibrator... if you're a girl anyway ;)

Devil May Cry 1,3.

GTA: San Andreas (If you haven't played it already I suggest you pick it up pronto!)

Kingdom Hearts (Action RPG, it's more up you're street)

Burnout.

Ico.

God of War.

Ominussia 3.

Gitaroo Man.

Disgaea.

Pro Evo 4.

Any Suikoden game.

Prapper the Rapper 2.

Metal Gear 3 how could I forget.

Dark Chronicle if you can find it.

 

Shadow of the Collosus is out soon - watch out for that one.

 

Check out Okami on IGN or something; it's not out for a while but you will fall instantly in love with it.

I liked Vice City, it wasn't great but it was fun. I had a short go with San Andreas, but I don't like its style (the whole rapper/gangster pimp thing).

 

Okami looks gorgeous! I'll have to pick that up as soon as it's out!

Nippon Ichi Software collection of Disgaea, La Pucelle Tactics and Phantom Brave.

Gitaroo Man

Suikoden Series (Get the PSX ones as well, II is the greatest!)

Front Mission Series

Shadow Hearts Covenant

Ico

Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari

God of War

Devil May Cry Series

Silent Hill Series

Xenosaga and Xenogears (PSX)

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution

Taiko Drum Master (It's the original Donkey Konga)

Jak and Daxter series

Since you don't own a Xbox you will need to get some awesome multiplatform games as well, things like Burnout Revenge, Fatal Frame (Project Zero) and so on.

Okay first off, calm down. He send he "tends to like RPG/Adventure". Im sure he doesn't mind more suggestions.

 

Anyway I know this is a month-long bump but rather than starting a new similar topic. Just wondering whether people think a PS2 purchase is worthwhile since its so close to its death. My friend has been trying to convince me and I may get one after xmas pre-owned from work with discount.

If you like action/adventure/platformers then I highly recommend the following:

 

Jak & Daxter 1,2 & 3

Ratchet and Clank 1,2 & 3

Devil May Cry 1

Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3

Onimusha 2 & 3

 

RPG:

 

Tales of Legendia (still to be released)

Final Fantasy X (not X-2 :P)

Final Fantasy XII (still to be released)

Dark Cloud 1 & 2

 

Beat 'em ups:

 

Tekken 5

Soul Calibur III

 

Racing:

Burnout Revenge
