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

Toad · 08-11-03, 02:52 PM

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.

Joshic · 08-11-03, 03:38 PM

Vice City

Kicker_of_Elves · 08-11-03, 04:14 PM

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

The Franchise · 08-11-03, 05:22 PM

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 · 08-11-03, 07:23 PM

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 · 08-11-03, 07:30 PM

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

clappj · 08-11-03, 07:33 PM

So far, Rachet & Clank has been my favorite.

NC-36 · 08-11-03, 09:36 PM

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

Is AC4 really that good? I've been toying with the idea of getting it but I'm worried it'll be like the PSone games.

victant · 08-12-03, 10:32 AM

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

But the GTA games come very, very closely behind.

Toad · 08-12-03, 10:40 AM

What's so great about Ratchet and Clank?

Josh H · 08-12-03, 10:41 AM

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

Toad · 08-12-03, 10:42 AM

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 · 08-12-03, 10:45 AM

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 · 08-12-03, 10:48 AM

Great, thanks for the tip!!

Toad · 08-12-03, 10:54 AM

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?
