What's a good PS2 game for a 9 year old boy?

<< < (3/9) > >>

Storm Rider:
Ikaruga isn't even on the PS2. It was a Dreamcast game that got a Gamecube port.

It'd be a terrible game for a kid anyway, he'd just get frustrated with it after 10 minutes and give up.

Alex C:
Yeah, I was wondering about that. I have it on gamecube.

Guitaroo man ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitaroo_Man ) is a pretty harmless game. It's like rockband but with J-music, and instead of instruments is the same controller. It sounds really lame, but it is entertaining. Besides its for everyone (y). Just hope you can still find it.

Ico ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ico ) is pretty similar to the adventures of Link in Zelda, rated teen and very likely you find it in the used bin.

Finally Kingdom Hearts 2 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_hearts_2 ) is rated 10+ , and is an R.P.G. that includes some disney characters.

All 3 are pretty safe for a 9 year old (Ico is rated teen, but its really light as a feather).
Hope any of this suggestions work.

Cheers.

I suggest the original Kingdom Hearts as well as the sequel (sniped), particularly if he likes/is familiar with Disney characters (and who isn't?). Both are rated E and are designed at a kid level of difficulty.

Considering you don't know these parents, given the parents of 9yo boys I know, they're probably completely ignorant of computer game ratings and already bought their pride and joy whatever games he wants, including Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt and Bully.

Regardless of my cynicism, I commend your responsible game buying.

The reason I am so weary about whether or not they will appreciate Lego Star Wars is because these are people I have never met, and will have no contact with, besides the gifts(and maybe a thank you note). It's a family from a parenting board that my mother posts on that was part of this "Adopt A Family For Christmas" type thing. People on this board have refused to let their kids read Harry Potter books because it has witchcraft and sorcery, and that's all the work of the devil and whatnot. So, hopefully they won't be all crazy that "Oh my god! My kid just chopped off that Lego guys head!" or think that it is too violent. I don't want them to be dissappointed with the gifts.

I have no idea about Ikaruga. Like I said, I've never played it. A friend recommended it, and he probably didn't realize that I need it on PS2. And by what everyone has told me, I really doubt most 9 year old boys would be all that interested in it.


But oh my gosh, Crash Bandicoot, Kingdom Hearts, Jak and Daxter, are all great ideas! I didn't even think of those! Thanks so much! I will probably be picking one of these up from work when I go in.
