Favourite PS2 games?

[Crono]

Well, it's been a while since GT's best forum had one of these topics (I think...). So um... what are you favourite PS2 games? Also if you don't mind give a reason why. Mine are:

1. Suikoden III
Developed and Published By Konami
To put it into simple words, Suikoden III is the best game I have played this generation. Yes, thats out of any PS2/GCN/Xbox game. Great characters, great story, good graphics, good battle systems (there were 3 of them!). I really don't see how anyone could have missed out on this if they consider themselves an RPGer. (Unless they couldnt afford it up to this point... but it's now been discontinued anyway...). Outstanding game.

2. Kingdom Hearts
Developed by Squaresoft, Published by Square EA
Honestly when I first saw this game I thought it would be crap because it had Disney characters in it. Well, one shouldn't be too quick to judge. Even though I liked Suikoden III a lot more, this game was nearly as fun. I really liked the story, and the characters! (yes, even the Disney ones). It had a really cool action/RPG battle system, which was a nice change from the standard RPG battle systems. I really enjoyed this game.

3. Legaia 2: Duel Saga
Developed by Contrail, Published by Eidos' Fresh Games
I never played the original Legend Of Legaia. My friend DarkMaster had it, and he said it was a really good game with an awesome battle system. So I trusted his word and thought that picking up this game would be a no brainer. And he was right. This game has a really cool battle system, you combine moves for attack combos and such, really fun. Even though I haven't even beat this game yet... (almost half way done...). It's still one of the better PS2 games I've played and is worthy of being on the list.

4. Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Developed by Monolith Soft, Published by Namco
I just picked this game up today, I'm only 2 hours into it. But, from what I've played, it seems like it will be nearly as good as Suikoden III, if not better. The battle system is pretty cool from what I've experienced so far, and it's been fun to play, so it deserves to be on the list for now.

5. Final Fantasy X
Developed by Squaresoft, Published by Square EA
I'm pretty sure this one is self explanatory, as most people probably own it and have beat it. Although I didn't enjoy it as much as other Final Fantasies (like FF7 and FF6), it's still one of the best games on PS2. I loved the sphere grid system and the customization it had.

I can also predict that games like Dark Cloud 2, Breath Of Fire V (Breath Of Fire III on PSX = ownage), and Star Ocean 3 will end up on my list once release. Plus many of the other RPGs coming out this year and next year.

Hmmm....

1: GTA3... I think I've just had da most fun with this game over any other PS2 game...

2: GTA:VC... Didn't enjoy it as much simply because it was too similar to GTA3... woulda been on top if it came out first

3: Medal of Honor: Frontline... Great FPS... I've said that I liked GTA:VC/GTA3 better than Metroid, but I think I enjoyed this one more too (Of course it's on NGC as well, but I have the PS2 version)

I can't choose anymore over the others

1. GTA3... Same thing with DH, I enjoyed this game for a good 5 or 6 months... but if Vice City was out first, i would have enjoyed that more too.

2. SOCOM... WOW. I still play this game... even though it is getting boring.

3. Ratchet and Clank... I haven't finished this yet because of my SOCOM addiction... but hopefully by the end of the summer I will have it done.

4. NHL 2K3... Well, I am on my third season in my franchise mode, and I traded Belfour for Naslund, Bertuzzi and Cloutier, and I traded Gary Roberts and a second round draft pick for Thornton. God I love my team.

Whoa, Vancouver got ****ed.



I don't have many "favourite" PS2 games, but here goes:

Ghost Recon: I love the Tom Clancy series, great multiplayer and I don't know why the hell it gets so horrible reviews. Does get boring though in one-player.

NHL 2K3: Best hockey game since the SNES days, only finished one season and got bored of this too though. Multiplayer goodness.

Grand Theft Auto 3: Right now I barely ever touch the game, it's just too boring to play. When I first got it though, it kicked ass for a long time before I got bored of it. Maybe it's just because it came out first and Vice City didn't change much from it, but I like GTA 3 way, WAY better than Vice City.

WWF Smackdown 3!: Well, I'm kinda stretching here as I don't like this game too too much, and it's not even in my top 10 wrestling games, but I still like it better than most PS2 games. So for a wrestling game: Pretty ****ty, but seeing as how wrestling games are my favourite kind of games, this is still better than most games I've played. I like it a lot better than the sequel, too.
