Best PS2 games?
fedilink

I bought a PS2 about 6 months ago from a coworker and finally got around to getting it working at a good enough resolution on my monitor. I currently have:

  • GTA 3
  • GTA Vice City
  • Gran Turismo 3
  • Matrix: Path of Neo
  • Katamari Damacy
  • Midnight Club: Street Racing

Any other suggestions? I know off the top of my head I want to get the SSX games, maybe some sports games, and of course the MGS titles that came out on PS2. Anything else?

Games that I’m confident the average person would love:

  • Burnout (3 and/or Revenge)
  • Tony Hawk’s Underground (definitely 1 and not 2)
  • Shadow of the Colossus (I’m otherwise avoiding games with HD versions for modern platforms but I specifically think this game is weirdly better with PS2-level graphics and performance)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man (Spider-Man 2 had better swinging but I think this is the stronger overall package)

Games with a more niche appeal but, dammit, I want you to play them anyways:

  • Steambot Chronicles
  • Shadow of Destiny

Games that felt like a big deal at the time but I haven’t actually played since I was a kid so take with a grain of salt:

  • Evergrace
  • Way of the Samurai (1 and/or 2)
  • Stuntman
  • Def Jam Vendetta & Fight for NY
  • Mercenaries 1
  • NBA Street (2 was my favorite but all three were great)
  • NFL Street (only played 1, presumably 2 and 3 are also great)

A game I know is bad but I want you to play it so that the voice clips will be burned into your brain also:

  • Kessen 2

I know what you mean about SotC, i enjoyed the remake a lot but the physics and jank are still the same as the PS2 version, so the new photorealistic graphics don’t really mix with it. feels off sometimes
