Soul Calibur II and III
Tekken 5
Devil May Cry 1 & 3
Need for Speed Underground 1 & 2, Most Wanted, and Carbon
Jak series
Metal Gear Solid 3
Dynasty Warriors
007: Nightfire

That's what I can come up with right now.

Anyone who owns a PS2 needs to have tried the following games:

*Psychonauts
*Okami
*We Love Katamari
*GTA: San Andreas

Plus, I warmly recommend:

*Sly Raccoon 1-3
[small](Cartoony platforming at its finest)[/small]
*Both Everblue games
[small](Wonderfully atmospheric scuba-sim)[/small]
*Steambot Chronicles
[small](Light-hearted JRPG featuring your own fully moddable battle robot and so many diverse options, you can even join the bad guys!)[/small]
*Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
[small](More top-notch cartoony platforming)[/small]
*The three Project Zero games
[small](Insanely creepy survival horror - NOT for the easily frightened!)[/small]

 

[ChupathingyX]

All of these game smade by Pandemic Studios;
*Star Wars:Battlefront I and II
*Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (bolded for being my favourite game on PS2)
*Destroy All Humans! 1 and 2.

Koei games;
*Dynasty Warriors 3, 4 ("Beauty, come to me!" ) and/or 5. (Also if they have the Xtreme Legends expansions get those too)
*Dynasty tactics 2 (I doubt they'll have this, though)

Plus all the usual like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Shadow of the Colossus and all those.

Thanks for the response.

I've played Star Wars Battlefront 1 on my PC and I'm adding the PS2 version of itssequel on the list.
Destroy all Humans looks cute.
I'm wary of the Kingdom Hearts IP.
ratchet and clank and the various fluffy talking animals platform games look nice, but It may not be worth the money.

Keep them coming, I'm surprised at the amount of responses.

Best get some Final Fantasy in you. In my opinion, X was probably the best game in the series, and X-2 actually had really, really good gameplay, if you can get over how girly the game feels.

Do your self a favor and try to find as many Atlus games as you can find.
Nice additions to the library are Star wars Battlefront 2, Silent Hill 2, the Team Ico games and black.

Have fun.

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are pick me ups forsure. Those games were amazing.

The game Dawn of Mana was also really good. It had a very emotional story line

Burnout 3 or Burnout revenge
Hitman: Blood Money
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Black
Red Faction (acquired taste, I guess)
Devil May Cry (acquired taste)
Any Ratchet and Clank game
Shadow of the Colossus and Ico
Resident Evil 4
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Tony Hawk's Underground (acquired taste)
Ultimate Spider-Man
Rogue Galaxy
Timesplitters
Half-life
GTA if you didn't play it yet
Legacy of Kain if you can find some (somewhat acquired taste)

Argh, so many great PS2 games!

goood list
burnout revenge sucked BALLS though.
and you missed ssx3 and ssx tricky.
and timesplitters 2 and 4 ahhh madness
bad you

I must be the spawn of the devil then, because Burnout: Revenge is not only my favorite Burnout, but probably my favorite PS2 game ever.

I was going to mention SSX, but the list is too long already. (lol)

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

Well most things I would suggest have already been listed, but here are a couple mech games:

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (nice sense of humor, and fairly solid mechanics)
S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International (exceptional user interface, great customization, and all around fun to play, if a little unforgiving at times)

you may not find either, cause neither sold very well to my knowledge, maybe cause the former simply wasn't advertized at all, and the second is a love/hate kind of game

yes you are. It took the awesome skilled driving from takedown and went "i know what'll make this game better, removing the challenge". Cars bouncing off of you, urgh this was my reaction when i played it.

<youtube=nF_Ca45JRFs>

because its one of the few examples of a sequel i was excited for.
Feel free to steal that clip its quite useful when posting about betrayls.

I hate to start an argument, but I completely disagree. Some of the later levels were very challenging, especially road rages. And trust me, five-staring everything is not easy.

Plus, the courses and cars were more interesting (IMO), the soundtrack was slightly better, crash mode didn't include BS like heartbreaker (even if mashing the pump was stupid) and the traffic attack mode was fun. Yeah, Burnout 3 is harder, but Burnout: Revenge is by no means easy. Besides, I don't feel games have to be super challenging to be fun. My rating for Burnout Series from best to worst:

Burnout Revenge
Burnout 3
Burnout Paradise
Burnout 2
Burnout Dominator (No crash mode? WTF?)
Burnout (never played it, but if it doesn't have boost and takedowns, forget it)
Burnout Legends for DS (the horror!)

But to each his own, of course.

War of the Monsters is good but rare.
