I am a similar situation as you. I have VF4 Evo, and Katamari Damacy. My list of recommendations that I will be getting soon includes Street Fighter II Anniversary Collection, Dodonpachi Dai-oujou (import), Twisted Metal Black, Gradius V, and Time Splitters 2, Phantom Brave, Disgaea, La Pucelle Tactics and Suikoden III and IV. I think this selection of games should cover the elite from many genres, although there are many more games that are on the must have list as well.

R-type Final is a terrific game - go get it while ya can.

SSS · Oct 3, 2004

import Espgaluda

gmw · Oct 3, 2004

In addition to what's already been mentioned:

Minna no Golf / Hotshots Golf 4
Shin Contra / Shattered Soldier
Siren
Battle Gear 3 (import only)

Lagduf · Oct 3, 2004

ICO.

Its the best game ever.

Curt · Oct 3, 2004

ICO,
Silent Hill 2,3,4
Gradius V
Street Fighter III:Third Strike
Guilty Gear XX:Reload

[OCEAN] · Oct 3, 2004

I enjoy very much the next ones:

ZOE
Kingdom Hearts
ICO
Silent Hill 2
SF3 3rd
Tony Hawk's 3

also, I had quite good memories of Ring of Red and if there's any DBZ fan, Budokai 1 is a great game.

Anyone knows how good/bad is Suikoden 3 compared to the previous ones?

k'_127 · Oct 3, 2004

CONTRA IS A MUST. (rich replayability value)

- KOF: MI
- Gradius V
- Devil May Cry
- Onimusha 3 (no need to play the previous two games to understand the story)

RPGS:

- Suikoden 3
- FFX (medicore story, quick/easy to get into battle system, excellent side quests)
- Star Ocean 3

worth checking:

- Ico
- Rygar
- Mark of Kri (too short: 6 levels, solid presentation)
- ZOE2: Anibus

not sonic · Oct 3, 2004

thanks guys (except the few sf's and ggx's...theyre on xbox

)

any thoughts on klonoa 2, jak1-3, or rachet and klank?

subcons · Oct 3, 2004

Although I don't own, yet have played and do second the following:

Rygar
ZOE I&II (the latter being even better than the former)

I own(ed) and enjoy(ed):

Gran Turismo 3 A-spec
Gungrave (OD is a nice upgrade as well)
Shinobi

If you like shooters (or just a challenge and 1CC games), pic up:

Contra: Shattered Soldier
dodonpachi DAI-OU-JOU
Espgaluda
Gradius V
R-Type Final
Shikigami No Shiro

Those are all PS2 exclusive.

Really, I only own PS2 for a handfull of exclusives and shmups. PS2 is the shooter system right next to the superb little Dreamcast by Sega.

Mushiki · Oct 3, 2004

Klonoa2 is an average game, you will like it if you li ked the first one though.

Narutimetto Hero2 is a good alternative fighting game.

k'_127 · Oct 3, 2004

Klonoa 2 is a bit slow and less challenging compared to other good platformers. as Mushiki said, it's an average game imo.

as for Jak games and Ratchet games, I recommend checking Jak and Daxter 1 first. excellent presentation and control. I haven't played through any of the 6 games, but I found Jak 1 the most appealing. I may finish it later. but for the rest, I don't think I'll ever touch them.

some say Ratchet and Clank 1 is cool too, but I found it boring. I don't know. maybe you need to check it as well. go to http://ps2.ign.com/ and download some videos. I'm sure it will be very helpful for making a decision.

genjiglove · Oct 3, 2004

Ratchet & Clank is a pretty fun game, really cool weapons.

Anyway, go buy the new Official Playstation Magazine and play Metal Gear Solid 3. I love the game already. It also has a demo of Neo Contra, which is really great.

How does Neo Contra play? From what I read in some mag, they were concerned about the controls. Mentioned something about hoping they'd just use both analogues as opposed to the face buttons. Not sure what I think about this.

Is it comparable to say... Cannon Spike? Or more like the top-down levels from Contra III. I really want this game to be good, but I'm doubtful I'll like it as much as I did Shattered Soldier.

Neo Contra was pretty fun. I suppose it did play a little like the over head levels in Contra 3, but its very fast paced. The controls take a little getting used to, but once you do it's second nature.

I've never played Cannon Spike, so I can't comment there.

Buro Destruct · Oct 3, 2004

Neo Contra will own your souls.

I'm probably more excited for it than any other game except for Halo 2.

dragonwillow · Oct 3, 2004

I liked... Soul Calibur 2.

subcons · Oct 3, 2004

Hell yeah Buro, rocking the Last Starfighter sig.
