I need some advice: what's your favorite game for PS2?

[Toad]

I have lots of sports titles, but I'm looking for something fun that's not just sports.

Any good suggestions for me?

I enjoy games like: Bond, Mario Kart, Tony Hawk.

Vice City

When i had my old PS2, I loved "ICO" very fun little game with amazing graphics..

[The Franchise]

I second ICO. Also I had way more fun with "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" than I thought I would have. Just finished Jak and Daxter which was fun and now that Ratchet and Klank is going GH I'll pick it up for $20 too! :)

[Decker]

For me
Ratchet & Clank
Dark Cloud 2
GTA : VC
Amplitude
Tony Hawk 4
SSX Tricky

There really isn't a FPS I'd recommend for the system, they all leave me disappointed; though I guess Red Faction 2 is okay if you can find it cheap. Timesplitters 2 got good reviews but I didn't like it for single player. Also there is no true FSP online game available for the PS2(I'm not counting the squad-based SOCOM or Tribes : AA).

[Gdrlv]

GTA III and VC
Kingdom Hearts
SSX Tricky
Hot Shots Golf 3
Jak & Daxter
ICO

[clappj]

So far, Rachet & Clank has been my favorite.

[NC-36]

Grand Theft Auto III (now $20 or less)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Ico
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Max Payne
Sly Cooper
Ratchet and Clank

Vice City...it's the only game I play on my PS2. I cannot wait for it to come to XBOX, then I can sell off my PS2 and all my games....hmmm, what could I get for it

[victant]

Ratchet and Clank, if I had to pick just one.

But the GTA games come very, very closely behind.

[Toad]

What's so great about Ratchet and Clank?

[Josh H]

Ratchet and Clank is a platformer, so if you like games like Mario, Sonic, etc. you should like it.

[Toad]

I guess I'm trying to decide what to buy among:

SSX Tricky
Medal of Honor
Simpsons Road Rage
Downhill Demolition
Grand Theft Auto III
Ratchet and Clank (since everyone here loves it)

I guess I'll probably get two.

I do like those games, but I felt Sonic Adventure for DC was about the simplest and most "kiddie" game I've ever played. Is R&C any different/better??

[Josh H]

Yes.

The Sonic adventure games were terrible IMO.

I'd hold of on R&C for a while though, according to a thread here it's about to drop to $19.99 as a GH title soon.

[Toad]

Great, thanks for the tip!!

[Toad]

ONe last note: I got Jonny Mosely's Mad Trix as a gift, and while I enjoy it b/c it's skiing, it's really bad.

Is SSX Tricky better?? How so?

The short answer is yes: It is really that good.

BUT, I don't really understand what you mean by saying you're worried that it'll be like the PSone games. IMO, it's everything the ps1 games were and more. Which to me is a good thing.

If you didn't like the ps1 games, you may not like AC4. Keep in mind that Ace Combat 2 is really the best of the 3 PS1 games. The first one (Air Combat) was ok, the 2nd one was great, the 3rd one was not as good as 2, and it was a lot harder to find.

But, AC4 is now a greatest hits title, which means it can be had for $15-20, so you may as well try it. As far as my recommendation goes, it's one of the games that every PS2 owner should have.

Yes, that game is awsome and not too many people know anything about it. I just wish I had time to finish it.
