I bought a PS2 about 6 months ago from a coworker and finally got around to getting it working at a good enough resolution on my monitor. I currently have:
- GTA 3
- GTA Vice City
- Gran Turismo 3
- Matrix: Path of Neo
- Katamari Damacy
- Midnight Club: Street Racing
Any other suggestions? I know off the top of my head I want to get the SSX games, maybe some sports games, and of course the MGS titles that came out on PS2. Anything else?
Shadow of the colossus is good, ps2 is before my time but I played part of colossus and loved it
Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Kingdom Hearts and Burnout are some of the franchises worth looking into.
Burnout and that free off-road ATV game that came along with the later PS2s are both responsible for my taste in music.

My PS2 is basically a Tony Hawk machine, all of them are good but THPS4 is my favorite.
Also, Psychonauts aged very well!

-TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect

-Dynasty Warriors series
-Soulcalibur II and III
-Tekken(any of them)
-Burnout 3

-Simpsons Hit and Run
-Dark Cloud I and II
-Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
-Ace Combat 4
007: Nightfire
Even if you’re not a huge James Bond fan, it’s still a fantastic game. I sank countless amounts of hours into it as a kid. The multiplayer is top notch as well.
Really can’t go wrong with any of the Bond games on the PS2.
You can’t talk PS2 without mentioning Jak and Daxter or Ratcher and Clank. Each trilogy is incredible and absolutely worth a play.
Gonna have to get We Love Katamari as well…
Naaa nananananananana Katamari Damacy
Max Payne 2
I don’t see it here so I’ll mention Ty the Tasmanian Tiger! Really fun collectathon platformer. Played through the more recent remaster on PC and realized it’s very easy, but I spent a huge amount of time as a kid just running around the maps and hub area.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 Gradius V - amazing arcade shooter
- Need For Speed Underground 1 & 2
- NFS Most Wanted
- GTA San Andreas
- Call of Duty 3
- Lord of the Rings Return of the King
Interesting, I heard cod 3 was the worst one
It was one of the few games I had for the PS2. Never played the multiplayer, but the SP campaign is awesome! I highly recommend it.
Downhill Domination will always get my vote. It’s also excellent in multiplayer.
If you are into horror there are some excellent titles for ps2
Silent Hill 2, Siren, Fatal Frame, Kuon
(though theyve become a lot more popular and collectible recently)
