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

Recommended Posts

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

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

 

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!

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.

The thing is the PS2 is going to last longer than the Xbox and Cube. It already has a big list of big hitters coming next year.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe's Exodus.

 

Both PS1 games but their awesomeness still holds up to this day.

Xenosaga ep 2 was mildly entertaining but you do more watching than playing.
