Final Fantasy X, XII
GTA III, VC, SA.
God of War

T!b0 · Jul 26, 2007

Devil May Cry 1&3
Resident Evil 4 (if you don't have a Wii)
God of war 1&2
Zone of the Enders 2
GranTurismo 4 with steering wheel
Burnout 3 to release some steam after GT

MetalGearSolid 3
Final fantasy XII
Kingdom Hearts I&II (if you have nothing against fighting with Disney characters)

Oh and DeadOrAlive2 you can get it for close to nothing, and it's so good in multiplayer!

I wanted to add so many more games... But then I thought those up there are the ones I consider "essentials", if you don't have them, and you have a PS2, you're from another planet.
The others would be more games I really really enjoyed, but there "essentiallity" is questionable...

Darkforce · Jul 26, 2007

Amplitude
Bully
Dark Cloud 1 / 2
Devil May Cry 1 / 2 / 3 Sp Edition
Disgaea (Other Nippon Ichi games like Phantom Brave are worth checking out also)

Capcom vs SNK 2
BLACK
Burnout 3 / Revenge / Dominator

There are only 2 PS2 Katamari games, Katamari Damacy, and We Love Katamari, both of which are already on your list. These 2 votes need to be moved.

QUOTETales of the Abyss (1 votes)
Tenchu 3 (1 votes)
Tekken 5 (1 votes)
Tales Of Legendia (1 votes)
Tales Of The Abyss (1 votes)

You have 2 Tales Of The Abyss

I'm sure that once more people put in their votes, there won't be so many 1 vote games.

I pretty much agree that all those games are a must-play on PS2.

Also, those games are everywhere on the interwebz. It's impossible not to find them

when games are old (read seeders), you cant find them anymore.
plus that if you are doomed to have dial up.
