So, Games for PS2

[cheshirenoir]

Okay peeps. I'm mostly a RPGer, fond of Zelda and Mario. I'm not adverse to puzzle games and have a soft spot for Soul Calibur.

What games should I be looking out for on teh Playstation 2?

Things I am already actively working on acquiring:

• Shadow of the Collossus
• God of War
• Final Fantasy whatever
• Soul Calibur
• Katamari Damacy

What else?

Ico, which is from the makers of Shadow of the Colossus but a bit better IMO.

Cool. I'll look out for it

I really should go back and scour your games reviews, shouldn't I?

I'm not a huge authority on the PS2, actually. I still don't actually own one myself - I've been borrowing one for the last year or so.

Dragon Quest VIII is a very decent and pretty turn-based Japanese RPG. Very old-fashioned, though.

Some great games worth looking for, assuming you haven't played them on another platform, would include:

- Okami
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
- Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
- Beyond Good and Evil
- Psychonauts

The last two in particular are right up your alley. GTA probably not even near your street, I admit. : )

Ta! I have yet to play PoP:TSoT despite owning a legitimate copy for the PC. Might actually be a better match with the PS2

I haven't actually played the PS2 version myself, but the game on Xbox was *awesome*.

I'll second Okami, Beyond Good & Evil & Psychonauts.

I too have never owned a PS2, but have played the second 2 on other platforms, and am avidly looking forward to Okami's re-release on the Wii.

Another multi-platform game you might like: Destroy All Humans. Sort of a sandbox adventure where you play an invading alien, set in the 50s. Lots of 50s alien/communism paranoia jokes, and some good mindless destruction.

Then there's *cough* Guitar Hero - love it or hate it. ^_^
It's much shinier, and supports DLC on the 360, but GH2 on the PS2 is great if you don't have any other consoles...

It's a real tragedy that Beyond Good & Evil and Psychonauts weren't massive, massive hits.

Beyond Good & Evil is at least getting a sequel though.

I was really surprised when I found that out. I assume Michel Ancel backed Ubisoft execs into a corner and demanded "no more Rayman without Beyond Good & Evil sequels!!" or something.
