If you were buying 1 game only which one would you guys recommend?

This is very, very, VERY easy:


SSX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ssx

SSX...though if you can wait they are releasing a souped up DVD version of it soon.

If you like the racing stuff, SSX.
If you like the fighting stuff, Tekken Tag Tournament.
If you like the Resident Evil stuff, Onimusha.

SSX.

Man, you people are on crack... SSX sucks

Sell your PS2 and wait for the XBox or the Gamecube

ATV!

How much have you played it? If you're no good at it, of course it sucks.

Not judging, mind you. I always get weird looks whenever I declare Shenmue on the same level of crappitude as Myst.

I say if you want fun get SSX
If you want some cool adventure type survial horror get Onimusha.
If you want a cool unique experience get Shadow of Destiny.

These are my fav games on my PS2.

SSX

RayMan 2...

I'll second ATV, my friend has a few games including SSX with he loves. I figured I'd get something different and bought ATV (my only game) and I love it...

I really liked Midnight Club, mainly because I like racing games, and I really liked Midtown Madness.

I have to say though, Madden 2001 is the best looking game I've seen yet.

DOA2 if u like fighting games.
I only have 1 game right now and it is DOA2

Of course it depends on your taste ...

Fighting: Tekken Tag
Sports: Madden 2001
"Extreme" : SSX (Haven't played it but from above comments)

Onimusha (That is if you like that style of adventure/action game.)

But definately get Metal Gear when in comes out.

Madden

I am actually pretty decent at the game.

Ok,...then what "sucks" about it. Your statements are in contrast to the vast majority here and most established review/rating sources, as well.

If SSX is suck, I wish more companies would turn out sucky software.

Thanks to all for the info....it's off to find ATV and SSX
