ps2

[Tom]

My sister has just given me a PS2. YAY!

What good games can I get for cheap? I know nowt about these things.

 

[Alan]

Depends what you like, Ive just ordered the Transformers game off ebay due to recomendations here.

Also "Zone of the Enders" is great if you like to fly a mech around hehe

 

[Sharma]

Pity it takes an hour to complete eh?

 

[old.user4556]

Deebs, if you're listening, can I be a mod? I want my name in bold like Sharma and Tears

 

[Will]

Names in bold, eh?

Tom, get Guitar Hero. It might not be cheap, but it is great. \m/

 

[Jimmae]

i just beat x-men legends 2 and enjoyed it, quite short and easy tho.

god of war is fun, but a bit odd

transformers is uber

 

[Ch3tan]

shadow of the collusus. After playing it through a few times destroy your ps2, never again will any game compare.

 

[Raven]

got a ps2 but not bought a game for it in ages, mate brought round Black a few weeks back, kind of fun in a 1st person shooter using a control pad sort of way. also there is a fairly new resident evil out if you are into that sort of thing.

 

[Loki]

Get "God of War" its excellent

 

[ECA]

Console forum blah blah blah tbh

 

[TdC]

I was bored, so if you use firefox and have the Greasemonkey extension, then the script I just wrote will change all names to Bold

and yes, i am that bored

Pro Evo 5 !

We Love Katamari - probably the only reason for keeping a Sony console around these days.

Great straight, pissed or on drugs, it's awesome!

Tom, as a fellow petrolhead I can only really recommend you one game, and that is Gran Turismo 4. The best driving game there is on any platform ever to be honest with you, and all your favourite cars look awesome to boot. It takes the piss how many cars are in it really (and how many different versions of a Skyline you can buy....), so if a Zonda doesn't tickle your fancy, a Volvo 240 with nitrous might do the trick. Only the lack of Ferraris/Lambos counts against it really. My current garage includes:-

Ford GT
BMW M5 with around 750bhp
BMW M3 CSL with about 440bhp, best handling roadcar I've come across in the game so far.
BMW M Coupé - fun
Racing Nissan 350Z
Delorean
HPA Motorsports Golf R32 with 650bhp, adjusted so all the power goes to the rear wheels.
The obligatory Impreza, don't like it that much tho, doesn't handle that well :| Plus 4wd performance cars are blatantly for queers.

The game's about £14 now, I think it really should be your next buy.

Fixed. For a proper racing sim, GTR > *

 

[Overdriven]

Driver 3

Agreed.

Add to the mix:

Shadow of the Colossus
God of War (My fav)
Fahrenheit
Resident Evil 4

Bake for 20 mins. Your mini collection is complete.

 

[Tilda]

Me too
Only propper old skool mods have non-bold names

 

[inactionman]

God of War and Guitar Hero. They are great.

yeah i got it for a tenner the other day from game, enjoying it so far despite the obvious fact that i am shite at it

GT isn't a racing sim tho. It's a driving sim, hence me putting driving in bold. And yes, there is a difference.

 

[nath]

Fair point, though the amendment I made was that of arcadey.


And what's more, you smell of smelly cheese.

 

[cHodAX]

God of War is a stunner, worth owning a PS2 for that game alone.

 

[Frizz]

There's serously loads of good games you can get for cheap nowadays.

I'll only list afew of my personal faves though:

Gran Turismo 4 (natch)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Shitty Camera, but everything else is quality, consider Subsistance if you fancy splashing out a bit more.)
Final Fantasy X (XII is coming out soon, and having recently spent alot of time with FFTA recently, it's looking like the world of Ivalice is gonna be damn good. Plus Famitsu gave it 40/40, which is a rare occassion indeed.)
Shadow Of The Colossus (You must own this. And Ico.)
Prince Of Persia: SoT (A forgotten gem, what with the sequels and all that. Both of which I haven't played.)
God Of War (Overrated in my opinion, but I'll leave it to you, as it's had some outstanding reviews. Consider the DMC series also.)
Ratchet & Clank 1,2 & 3 (Best platform games on the PS2 without question)
Mercenaries (Good fun for being different)
Disgaea: Hour Of Darkness (Probably the best strategy RPG Koei did. There's also Phantom Brave which is a bit harder and Makai Kingdom, which is a little less involving.)

Then there's loads of other multiplatform games which I cba to list.

Prince Of Persia: SoT (A forgotten gem, what with the sequels and all that. Both of which I haven't played.)

You really should, they're fantastic - particularly 2 (Warrior Within).

 

[Tom]

So Katamari (I've heard excellent things about that) and GT4 are on the list.

Can I buy them cheap from a shop, or is it best on Ebay?

 

[Frizz]

You won't find GT4 cheaper than at Play.com:

[Raven]

could probably pick up quite a few of them in the 2nd hand bin at game, if you want brand new then play.com is your best bet

I beg to differ
