Best PS2 games? (beehaw.org)

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?

GT4 is better than GT3 imo, but if you have to spend money on it, it might not be worth.

I'm mostly into RPGs, and it doesn't seem like you are from this list. If you are, then FF10 and 12 are available. So are KH1 and 2, and also Wild Arms 3, Personas 3 and 4, Disgaea, Shadow Hearts, Okage, Okami, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest, Devil May Cry, God of War, and so on.

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 are silly and fun side scrolling beat 'em ups. Tony Hawk needs no introduction. Silent Hill 2 and 3 if you're into horror. Resident Evil 4 if you're into action horror.

Shadow of the Colossus is great if you're into a quiet, contemplative adventure game.

Was hoping someone would mention Shadow Hearts and Wild Arms! The PS2 truly was the janky AA JRPG console of all time. Also don't forget

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
  • Digital Devil Saga 1-2
  • Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
  • Stella Deus
  • ~~Magna Carta: Tears of Blood~~ On second thought do forget this one
