Sum Up The PS2 in 5 Games Or Less.

Blaine · Mar 10, 2005

Okay. Within the next couple days I'll be picking up a PS2. The reason I waited so long? Not entirely sure. Doesn't really matter though. But I do acknowledge I have tons of gaming to catch up on...so.

Anyone and everyone out there, I wanna hear your opinion.

What 5 games, Import/Domestic/Whatever, would be your 'absolute' must-have titles. No more than 5. Don't let obscure niche titles fall in favor of the well known populars.

The sum and substance of what the PS2 has accomplished in the past few years.

Let me have it.

Alex0916 · Mar 10, 2005

I would definitly say pick up the first Devil May Cry. Awesome game one of Capcoms finest. :buttrock:

Lagduf · Mar 10, 2005

1. ICO
2. ICO
3. ICO
4. REZ
5. Metal Gear Solid 3

If i had to piuck a 6th title? Tough choice, but....ICO (fucking most beautiful game ever made).

I'd say mgs3, but i still haven't played it. I hear its amazing though...

ferrarimanf355 · Mar 10, 2005

Ico, Rez, Tekken 5, Xenosaga (I honestly never played it, but it's important for it's storytelling aspects- I like hour-long cutscenes, so there! :angry:

) and Gran Turismo 3.

Blaine · Mar 10, 2005

Oh, not to tell people what their list should be but...probably a good idea to keep it to PS2 only games. I already have Rez for the Dreamcast.

Damn, make sure you get Gradius V and R-type Final. Soul Calibur 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 are now bargain priced, so I'd pick them up as well.
I've heard great things about MGS3, but have yet to play it.

Blaine phrased this topic in an interesting fashion, and I think Loopz' list out of whats been posted best encapsulates with the PS2 is all about, rather than simply good games. However, mine would be:

-Tekken 5
-Katamari Damacy
-ICO
-Devil May Cry (any of them I suppose, although I enjoyed 1 far more than 2, haven't played 3)
-Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I think the above list best represents the "types" of games that debut on the PS2. Honorable mentions go to:

-Rygar
-Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
-Contra: Shattered Soldier
