Your Favorite PS2 Games

Recommended Posts

I honestly never liked the PS2...

No.

No what? The PS2 was the worst of the Playstation consoles.

The PS2 was great and not because it combined a DVD player. It had a whole slew of great games that WEREN'T also on PC. The controller was nice to play on, it was a great system. But whatever, to each his own.

I also really liked Guitar Hero Metallica and Metal Gear Solid 3.

 

Shredding Master Of Puppets is crazy awesome.

Otherwise, it's not a bad system but I can't really think of any good games for it that weren't also on PC with much better controls. And often the ones people mention, like God of War, aren't games I've ever had any relationship to.

 

I mean, where did Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro go? After the PS1 they all sort of vanished or started sucking...

 

The biggest reason people bought the PS2 was Grand Theft Auto but even those games also got released on PC anyway and were much more modable on the PC.

 

None of the games in my list were on anything but PS2. From what you say, it sounds like you've ignored the major PS2 platformer series'. (Ratchet, Jak, Sly) if you can't name any yourself.

Crash Bandicoot was ended by Naughty Dog, who then made the great Jak and Daxter series. Spyro was dropped by Insomniac, who then made the Ratchet series, all PS2 exclusive.

On GTA, I never played it myself, so it certainly wasn't the reason I bought a PS2.

I think the problem is I'm mostly a PC gamer and never got a PS2 in the first place so undoubtedly I'm a bit biased here.

We had a ps2 when I was young, but we didn't have many games for it. I actually still have the console around here somewhere; I'd like to try Ico and Shadow of the Colossus out sometime if I can find a store that has them stocked.

 

As for the games I did get a chance to play, my favorites were probably FFX (which I still haven't fully beaten) and the Ratchet & Clank games - specifically Going Commando.

Medal of Honor Frontline.

 

Isn't a thing in the world that will make me not love this game as much as I do.
