Hi, I just got a PS2 for free :clap: so now I need some games..
I'm already getting GT4 and WWE Smackdown vs Raw.
What other games should I be rushing out to get?

I only want games that arent also on the Xbox as I have an Xbox and think that in comparison if its out for both of the consoles, its best to get it on Xbox.

Thanks! :cheers:

The appeal of smackdown versus raw is very short lived. Your better of renting it or borrowing it from a friend.

the playstation is not known for its best games its more known for alot of crap games that get released week after week after week, with the odd good game coming out here and there..........

GTA:SA for teh win!

I still play it every now and then.

One that's not out yet is God of War. There's a demo on this month's PS2 mag.

God of War is fan-fucking-tastic. It takes the best bits of Prince of Persia and Devil May Cry and puts them together. It one of the few games I've actually played for a solid 24 hours. Get it as soon as you can.

Get yourself Fire Pro Wrestling if you have the ability to play imports, easily the best wrestler.

Other than that go for the Singstar games, Frequency, Amplitude, Gradius V.

God of war is a great game, shame I completed it in the release weekend though! Did the same with destroy all humans as well, although that's not a particularly good game.

Ace Combat 5


I bought this game last month, played the first two levels and then wrote it off as another sappy crappy jappy game. But I dug it out last week out of boredom and started playing through it and I really enjoyed playing it, had me hooked. Storyline is a bit crap, but it is involving, the characters make you want to kill them but the actual flying and shooting down other planes is very enjoyable. If you want some arcadey type game, get this.

Metal Gear Solid 3 - Substance, It looks really cool.

3rd person camera + Online-Play + MSX Metal Gear series, not the dreaded american versions. = The Win!

Well, i am more of Nintendo player.. but still i accept even if PS2 has many shit, still has a great number of great games ...

for me, the best PS2 games are -> Gran Turismo - Metal Gear Solid 2/3 - GTA : San Andreas - Final Fantasy 10 - Resident Evil 4 ( inc soon ) , and if you like sports and fights also, you can add ISS pro and Soul Calibur 2/3

Wipeout Fusion is pretty great. Burnout 3 also, but that's not PS2-specific.
Final Fantasy X is goddamn awful, though. Since when did a totally linear string of cutscenes become a game?

Anyhow, is there anywhere to get Ico without being ripped off by ebay? I don't really want to have to pay ~£30 for something second hand - or is that a reflection of its rarity?
