A few titles that I never really hear anyone mention:
Mister Mosquito
Wetrix
Steambot Chronicles
Auto Modellista
XIII
And then some of my favourites that everyone knows about:
Burnout 3: Takedown
Smugglers Run
State of Emergency
NFS: Underground
Manhunt
Shadow of the Colossus
SOCOM, specifically the online MP
To name but a few, I don’t want to write an absurdly long list which is just too easy to do.
I still can’t believe Socom was real. A game released in like 2003…where you can fight as the “terrorists”, and if you win the game says “terrorists win”.
This something like 18 months after 9/11.
I cannot believe this game was real. I mean I know it was. I played it. It’s just…what?
I just completed bully on the ps2 (emulated on pcsx2)! Had a lot of fun, planning on going for jak & daxter series next i think. I never owned the console myself, so there are many gems ive never tried, and many i only played at friends houses sporadically.
This thread is a gold mine for suggestions!
My brother and I almost exclusively used our PS2 to play God of war or Gran Turismo.
Midnight club dub edition was also played to the point that the disk stopped working.
Kind of sounds like you missed a lot of amazing games.
I mean we played a ton of different games, but we also lived in the middle of nowhere and we were lucky to buy a new game once every 6 months. Those games got a lot of replays simply because we didn’t have access to a big library of games. We would trade disks with kids at school occasionally, but for the most part we only had like 10-15 games for our PS2 at any given time. Had to sell games we didn’t play much anymore to afford new ones. Such is the life of poor people living an hour away from the nearest game store at the time lol
Red faction
Gran turismo 3
San Andreas
Red Faction was so cool. Destructible environments were way ahead of their time.
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven was the shit growing up. I didn’t have a PS2 myself but would regularly be over at a friend’s house to play. I remember taking turns in the campaign and unlocking the secret level/secret character. Even as years went by and his PS2 got replaced by a PS3 we kept coming back to Tenchu, playing late night multiplayer sessions or doing co-op and trying to set up the various two-player combo stealth kills. Such good times.
Persona 3 FES
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD, SIR!!!
The Jak and Daxter series is still in my top 10
I’m not old. Lalalala. I can’t hear you. But I’m not old, or anything.
GTA Vice City. I’m still playing it now on my iPhone. I love that game.
I just replayed VC all the way through on my phone a month ago, what a nostalgia kick
I got GTA Vice City in GTA San Andreas. Download it on my phone. I connect a PlayStation controller, and then I airplay it to my TV. It’s just like playing it originally, except the cheat codes don’t work! Lol.
Dbz, played it for hours with friends, still holds up imho.

ill try to name things most people havent played.
I heavily recommend people to try Downhill Domination. think like snowboard kids or mario kart(specifically mount wario or dk mountain tracks) but on mountain bikes. Silly bike combat with soo many side paths for players to try to forge their own way on winning a race.
