    Default Missed PS2 Titles

    So I've finished all my 360 games and MGS4, and I'm poor at the moment, so I'm thinking I should go back and check out some PS2 games I missed. I was wondering if someone could give me recommendations. I'm up for just about anything that isn't sports or fighting. I have played:

    Beyond Good and Evil
    Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
    Crash Nitro Kart
    Crash of the Titans
    Crash Twinsanity
    Devil May Cry
    Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
    Final Fantasy X
    Final Fantasy X-2
    Final Fantasy XI
    Final Fantasy XII
    God Hand
    God of War
    God of War II
    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
    Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
    Katamari Damacy
    Kingdom Hearts
    Kingdom Hearts II
    Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2
    Manhunt
    Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    Psychonauts
    Resident Evil 4
    Resident Evil Code: Veronica X
    Ratchet & Clank
    Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
    Sly 2: Band of Thieves
    Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
    Sonic Heroes
    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
    Twisted Metal: Black
    Viewtiful Joe
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Shadow of the Colossus and Zone of the Enders. Maybe you should try Metal Gear Solid 2, since you've apparently played 3 and 4. :P

    Why not finish the Jak and R&C games? There all spiffy. Of course, you may of hated them meaning this comment is pointless.

    In that case, get Ico. Or maybe get Blood Omen 2, if you enjoyed Soul Reaver 2 and like the rest of the Legacy of Kain games then its a must (even if people tell you otherwise).

    MGS2, for sure. Lots of very important story bits there.

    Also, Jak II, and to round out the series, Jak 3. Ignore Jak X. Jak 3 sucks compared to Jak II, but it does finish up the series... even if it's on a pretty stupid note. I <3 Jak II though, big time.

    Maybe try some of the Timesplitter games, too. Not the first though, it's pretty awful.

    The Onimusha games are pretty solid. Also, Amplitude is good fun as an arcade game.

    Well, since you played Kingdom Hearts and it's sequel, I'll assume you enjoyed it and enjoy Action RPGs in general. So you gotta try playing Tales of the Abyss.

    Roto recommended ZOE, but make sure you play Zone of the Enders 2 regardless of whether you play ZOE 1 or not. ZOE2 comes with a 'story summary' video of what happens in ZOE 1.

    My other recommendation for now is "Robot Alchemic Drive" from Enix. Trix digs giant robots.

    I only recently got these, so I can't tell you very much about them, but Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES is very good so far, as is Odin Sphere. Add the Disgaea series to your list too, if you haven't already tried them. That's about all I can think of.

    I second Okami (I associate it with the Wii because that's where I played it xP) and Tales of the Abyss.

    If you play Blood Omen 2 then you do it at your own risk. When I bought it I encountered numerous glitches, including one more than half way through the game that kept me from progressing and even kept me from loading my save file. I returned the game the next day where the clerk at the store informed me that apparently a lot of people had trouble with it. It's a shame since I liked it besides the fact that it was broken. I'll definitely recommend Legacy of Kain: Defiance though.

    Also play MGS2, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, ZOE, ZOE2, Okami, Odin Sphere, Grim Grimoire, Persona 3, and Guitar Hero 2 (the best of the GH games if you ask me).

    Shadow of the Colossus is a must, Ico and Okami too.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is what I would name as the best JRPG on the PS2. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's a monster-taming game at heart, which will probably put some people off. If you don't mind that sort of thing though it has a neat story, a fantastic battle system and some of the best art direction out there. And Dante.

    There's not much else I can think of that hasn't been mentioned already. Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2 are decent enough games. If you liked Devil May Cry, skip II and go straight for Devil May Cry III. Dragon Quest VIII is also a very charming, satisfying game.

    Tales of the Abyss or Tales of Legendia.

    Personally, I prefer Abyss.

    Eww, don't play Tales of Legendia. It's like they went "Hey, Tales of Symphonia was pretty great, wasn't it? Let's take everything that was good about it and do the exact opposite!"
