What PS2 games do you recommend?
wraithzero:
I'm mostly repeating other people here, but here we go:
Burnout 3
ICO
REZ
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Beyond Good & Evil (the closest you'll get to a Zelda feeling game on PS2)
Metal Gear Solid (I've only played the first two (stupid delayed UK release dates), but I prefer the setting and story from the first one.)
Soul Calibur 2 (not a huge improvement over SC1, but still better.)
GTA: VC (SA is just too overwhelming if you haven't played the games before, VC grows a little more slowly)
Grandia II (excellent combat system)
Devil May Cry (feels like Resident Evil made by John Woo)
Also, if you like a good story in a game, check out the Legacy of Kain series, the voice acting in those is fantastic.

--- Quote ---There's a lovely little ball of crap called "The Bouncer" that would like a word with you.

I actually liked The Bouncer. I mean it wasn't amazing, but "Ball of Crap"? It was a fun night. At least rent it and beat it. It's probably pretty cheap to buy now.
Erm... I wil list by genre for the games that I like on that system.
Racing:
Midnight Club II
XGRA (It's all right, I'm not a racing game fan and I found it alright)
Sports:
Grab NOTHING, all games are too outdated, and I fear that EA will blow the NFL to hell.
RPG:
Go Square
Fighting:
Soul Calibur II
Tekken (Wait for 5 or pick up Tag)
Action:
Rachet and Clank (Whatever one)

Just wanted to emphasise this one, since it's unlikely you'll get every game that's mentioned in this thread. How's this for an endorsement: I could probably count the number of games I've completed more than once on a ninja turtle's hand, but Ico I finished twice consecutively. In one sitting. It is gorgeous (proper gorge).

Double-quoted for Emphasis.

What this guy said. FFIX and Kingdom Hearts are some of my all-time favouritest games.
ALSO, this title may be a little hard to acquire, but if you can hunt it down, Okage: Shadow King. It was one of the earlier titles for the PS2.
It's a cute and quaint RPG about this kid who's shadow gets possessed by the Evil King Stan. YEAH. Trust me on this, it is 100% awesome.

I bought it for $55 or something like that. That Square thought their audience would be satisfied with that game for that amount of money causes this to fall into the Ball of Crap category for me. Shame on me for not waiting for reviews and all, but as a huge fan of fighting/beat-em-up games I'd been waiting for a good Square action game for a while and this was it...minus the "good". I wanted a story-driven Tobal 3, I got anything but.
Anyway, I've been playing Disgaea again recently, and if you like strategy RPGs, buy it. Just find it and buy it as fast as you can.
