Stormfox1020 · 20-07-2003 10:07am

Well the obvious of course would be Vice city which is an excellent game, I enjoyed playing FFX it was very very linear but it was real fun and took sum time to beat it, I quite liked the Getaway but it was kinda hard, I havent played Tomb raider but ive herd good things, oh and Dynasty Warriors 4 Is a great Crack Especially 2 player Co-op.

jesus_thats_gre · 20-07-2003 11:32am

Gran Turismo 4
Virtua Tennis 2 - Trsut me, dont dismiss it
Fifa 2003 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2

Def jam Vendetta

Dont dismiss Virtua Tennis 2 like your man said.

WWE Smackdown - Shut your mouth

Midnight Club 2 - really really like this game

Pro Evolution Soccer 2 over Fifa ANYDAY...wait till October when the new Pro Evo 3 is out. AMAZING.

Enter The Matrix - real good game

Silent Hill 3 - ESSENTIAL GAME

Ratchet & Clank

Dynasty Warriors 4

There just a few good ones. Theres a lot more...

50Cent · 20-07-2003 12:34pm

jus saw you dont like midnight club 2...scratch that off then...

Shinji · 20-07-2003 1:16pm

What kind of games do you like?

If you like RPGs, then Final Fantasy X is a bit of a must-have, and Wild Arms 3 is quite good if a bit traditional.

If you like survival horror, you MUST own Project Zero. Silent Hill 2 and 3 are also both excellent.

If you like racing games, well, Burnout 2 is the best one on the platform, but Gran Turismo 3 is also very good indeed. Wipeout Fusion is sadly rubbish - try finding a copy of Extreme-G 3 (XG3) in a bargain bin somewhere instead, it's great.

If you fancy an atmospheric platform/puzzle game which a lot of people consider to be the best videogame ever made, don't miss out on ICO

If you like action platformers, Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank are both absolutely excellent. Sly Raccoon is worth a look too.

For action adventure games, do NOT buy the new Tomb Raider game or Enter the Matrix - both are absolutely woeful, full of bugs and generally terrible. Try out Mark Of Kri, Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven or even Primal instead (although Primal is a last resort since it's also a bit stinky).

For simply damn good fun, if you don't mind looking VERY silly in front of your television, buy Eye Toy: Play

For sports games, ask someone else - I never play the evil blasted things

Tusky · 20-07-2003 1:22pm

well most has been covered by otheres except for...

-rez great musical shooter type thing
-soul caliber 2 ( when its out )
-tekken 4 ( if your into that sort of thing )
-auto molesta ( or whatever its called ) seems good allthough i only pld it for a few minutes !

what? its good like, but midnight club 2 and grand turismo kick its ass. its waaaaaaay to short and the races are too simple, there are no alternate routes or anything you just bounce around those colourfull walls

50Cent · 20-07-2003 3:41pm

Midnight Club II is a deadly game in my opinion. My reason some people hate it is cos its VERY DIFFICULT.

Enter The Matrix is a very good game. Look at the reviews it got.

Cableguy im not letting that put me off...i have no doubt its WAY better than Pro 2. How did you get it?

BLITZ_Molloy · 20-07-2003 5:34pm

Enter the Matrix is utterly ****e. The reviews it got were a total scam.

Midnight Club 2 isn't half as good as the first game, which wasn't brilliant to start with.

I'd recommend Ico, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, Virtua Tennis 2k2 and Psyvariar.

If you like music action try and find Gitarooman and Amplitude as well.

Deadwing · 20-07-2003 6:06pm

ICO is a must buy game, trust me.
Final Fantasy X will eat weeks of your life.
Virtua fighter 4 & Tekken 4, both class beat em ups.
Dont mind Vice city, its not as half as good as its made out to be, go with Grand theft auto 3 instead.
Silent Hill 3, it ROCKS.
You buy now.

DiscoStu · 20-07-2003 6:10pm

the woefully underrated battle engine aquila is a good choice, as are final fantasy x and kingdom hearts(lots of disney sacharine tripe in to though). gta3 and vice city obviously.

timesplitters 2 for some excelltent console fps multiplayer goldeneye style.

Tusky · 20-07-2003 10:32pm

Enter the matrix is fun to play around with the bullet time but,,,thats about all, apart from that its utter bolax on a stick , reviews ? it got TERRIBLE reviews 5/10 , 4/10 60 % etc cba to check what eurogamer gave it,.....shinji ?

50Cent · 20-07-2003 11:10pm

I read real good reviews it got...

i can't play tose games on a console, by the time i aim with the controller the other person has rocket jumped out of the way. my friend is like that with timesplitters but i would destroy him if it were on pc.

de5p0i1er · 21-07-2003 3:44am

Enter the Matrix
Final Fantasy X, or any other in the series,
Jak & Daxter
Def jam Vendetta
NHL 2003

Are the ones that I play alot off, you really have to know what type of game your looking for.

Retr0gamer · 21-07-2003 7:41am

I'm not saying this just to annoy you 50cents but the only reason that Enter the Matrix got good reviews from some magazines was because they were paid to give it good reviews. It's a sad fact that this actually happens.

A great underrated platformer is Maximo. If you find it cheap somewhere then you should definitely get it.

Since most of my recommendations have already been listed I'd just like to add that if anyone has a chipped PS2 then they really should get Suikoden 3 as soon as possible. From little i've played the game is fantastic. There are three intertwining stories to choose from at the start and it looks like there could be more later on since there is space for another 3. The game is probably as good as FFX and could possibly be better. It really is a huge improvement over suikoden 2. Also Chris is one of the most fanciable game characters ever

And before Swifty has another swipe at me

Chris is also a girls name.

Shinji · 21-07-2003 10:50am

cba to check what eurogamer gave it,.....shinji ?

I think it got a four, and frankly we were FAR too bloody generous with that.

Retr0gamer is correct (for a change) - a lot of magazines were paid to give good reviews of Enter The Matrix. The same thing happened with Official PS2 Magazine and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness - it got 8/10, and the consensus is that this was because OPS2M was paid for its review.

Retr0gamer · 21-07-2003 10:54am

Is there any time that OPS2M isn't paid to review games. They are absolutely diabolical.

super_furry · 21-07-2003 11:25am

ICO, Rez, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Burnout 2, Pro Evolution 2. If you fancy something a bit different, I recommend Everblue 2, Klonoa 2 and G1 Jockey.

50Cent · 21-07-2003 12:14pm

Thats a pity actually they pay magazines to give them good reviews...didnt think that went on to be honest...what about Mtv? you know that games show? Did real well on that and also on ITV teletext and RTE one when it was out...

are ye mad man???!

well the pc version is best anyway - not sure bout ps2...

Retr0gamer · 21-07-2003 12:48pm

A lot of those tv shows don't have any decent reviewers. They all try to have a 'cool' image so that they can attract a younger audience which they believe is the biggest audience for a gameshow while everyone else knows that it isn't. Thats why you usually see very popular games getting great reviews, games such as Fifa soccer, and well there isn't anything as popular or cool as the matrix

I wouldn't be surprised if they were getting paid off as well.

well the pc version is best anyway

I prefer the PS2 version despite a woeful frame rate and blurry graphics. Theres less annoying bugs such as cars disappearing when they are out of line of sight.

He must be mad... Vice City was great on the PS2, I enjoyed every second of the hours and hours that I played.
I'd recommend FFX and Tekken 4, they're the games that I spent longest playing. I also enjoyed Kingdom Hearts, Max Payne and GT3, and 007 Nightfire is worth a look aswell.

weemcd · 21-07-2003 5:42pm

i agree about gaming shows. there was one called lan jam and there were thees two cartoons, with some wee london type shiits saying dis game ez wikeeed. and sh1t like that, i hate those shows but watch them for the gaming content. there was one excellent show late on channel 4, with three girls who went to clubs and stuff, to play games on projectors, the jokes were good and you could tell they knew theyre gaming stuff. can anyone remember the name?

Retr0gamer · 21-07-2003 5:52pm

Lan Jam was a right joke. You are talking about Bits. I didn't really like their reviews but by god the three girls were damn sexy, especially Emily Booth :-) Thumb Bandits was okay but a bit too, look at us we're just like FHM, style. I don't anything will ever beat Gamesmater for a while, not that it was perfect but the tv studios won't risk putting on another evening videogames show.

Placebo · 21-07-2003 7:39pm

i think she has her own show on Sci fi channel now.

weemcd · 21-07-2003 10:07pm

rhianna pratchet, the girl who quit pc zone, should have her own show. both for her opinipon and sax appeal

Third_Echelon · 21-07-2003 10:20pm

weemcd will probably agree with me on this one...

BUY AN XBOX..... dont fight it..... step into the darkside...

ha ha ha.... only joking

or a gamecube....

Dooom · 21-07-2003 10:22pm

oh christ give it up....

Shinji · 22-07-2003 9:23am

Third_echelon, since you're new here you may not have noticed, but Amp is a moderator of this board. So am I. What this means is, if you act the knob, we ban you from the board. Not that I'm about to do that - but I just thought you should know that when one of us tells you to shut up, it's a little bit more than a friendly suggestion.

This has been a public service announcement blah blah blah....

Some friendly advice, flame anybody on this forum again, and I will ban you. It won't take me very long to do, it's about 3 clicks of a mouse. And if you reply to this and go off-topic again I'll ban you. In fact your going to have to try very hard not to be banned.

agreed. Third_Echelon enjoys nothing more than stirring sh1t, and noone likes him. he should be banned, but its just puglesy loging in on a different user name.

amp · 22-07-2003 10:32pm

You're just as bad.

Now, everybody back on topic, discuss Recommended Ps2 games or I'll ban you in a light-hearted and fun way.

Third_Echelon · 22-07-2003 10:34pm

wrong weemcd... wrong.....

sorry amp just had to point out that weemcd is wrong in his statement... he's tried to suggest before that im some pugsley person!!!! i am not....

i dont enjoy stirring sh1t... people seem to gang up on me on the PS2 issues.... a bit too defensive...

any way my fav ps2 games:

virtua tennis 2
gta vc
metal gear solid
silent hill 1 + 2 .. just the ones i like

weemcd · 22-07-2003 10:34pm

i was agreeing with you!!!, which is pretty good for me since i usually hate moderators apart from shinjii.
what did i do to annoy you?

Dooom · 22-07-2003 10:34pm

hmm...are subliminal messages legal (or the text equivalant)?

er...and on topic..er....has anyone played bmx xxx or is it even out on the ps2?

weemcd · 22-07-2003 10:37pm

Third_Echelon i dont believe you for a secon, you and pugsley have the same avitar, and your signature is practically the same, and youve never posted on the same thread as him. either you are him, or you are patheticaly copying him! which is it?

Third_Echelon · 22-07-2003 10:41pm

well now that you mention it.. they are pretty similar... a bit of a coincidence... spooky really.... the quote i have is from a tshirt i got on thinkgeek.com and i liked the transformers back in the day.... ill go to a post that pugsley is on and ill post to it....

oh yeah...

the toca series was class on ps as well..... ()

amp · 22-07-2003 11:48pm

Ah weemcd, you don't seem to understand the concept of "back on topic". Third_echelon seems to understand the concept, yet you do not.

Given that I am an power mad nazi of a moderator this isn't really a good idea. I get my kicks from banning people. It fills me with joy. So ignore me again. I dare you.

Back on topic. The topic is Recommended Ps2 games. No more warnings.
