I would get this on steam instead because mods add like 823957349825743534 times more content to the game. Not really much of a story mode involved, but I still play this game for hours at a time. |

AlexKzillion
06.18.16 | Tbh there is a lot of great Star Wars games on PS2, since the consoles peak in popularity was during the prequel cycle. |
EnyaFangirl
06.18.16 | sadly it didn't have KOTOR1/KOTOR2 but battlefront 2 was pretty good |
silentstar
06.18.16 | echoing all the final fantasy recs since you like jrpgs - i thoroughly enjoyed X and XII, with X-2 having a pretty fun battle system but with a shitty plot that undoes everything in X
however, i'd recommend getting the X/X-2 remaster since it looks great and waiting on XII until its remaster comes out next year
other jrpg's to look out for: valkyrie profile silmeria, xenosaga, kingdom hearts, dragon quest VIII (if you're into classic jrpg's) |
Funeralopolis
06.18.16 | know any JRPGs with live action decision making or monster collecting? I'm instantly sold on those types of aspects |

06.18.16 | what's psychonauts about? |
Funeralopolis
06.18.16 | "not super into jrpgs but always been kinda intrigued by persona games. should I peep persona 4?"
It's an incredible game, one of my favorites. The Persona series has a very unique premise. Imagine this: your personality traits can be manifested in the form of monsters, monsters that can be upgraded, learn moves, level up and be fused together to create new monsters.
Your monsters become more powerful and you become more powerful based on your own personality and your relationships with other people. So in order to become stronger you need to develop your personality, by joining clubs, going out, doing sidequests, making friends, and going on dates. The more you develop your relationship and bonds with others the stronger you get. The game is part dating sim part dungeon crawler essentially.
The story is a murder mystery with a fairly unique plot, with some twists. If you however are looking for a much darker, mature and more difficult version then I would go for persona 3. |
Funeralopolis
06.18.16 | "what's psychonauts about?"
Psychonauts is a platformer about a boy who runs away from the circus to join a camp for those to practice and hone their psychic powers. As the player you join the summer camp and quickly learn there are some dark secrets about the camp. In this game, psychonauts primarily use their powers to travel inside people's brains which are manifestations of their character traits. You can go in people's brains to figure out information, find dirt on them and to resolve their internal demons.
The game has a very diverse set of levels, as each level is essentially a different camp member's brain. The game is very charming, unique, silly and whacky. The level design is phenomenal, colorful. You primarily fight using psychic powers you upgrade and unlock throughout the game.
In one level you travel inside of a demented neighbourhood ruled by 'evil girl guides' who serve the 'the milk man'. The neighbourhood is flooded with secret agents wielding plungers, pretending to be normal civilians. Here is a video showing some cutscenes from it, probably a good summary of this game's kind of shenanigans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6-z4tNRErY |
TumsFestival
06.18.16 | yeah just play Shadow of the Colossus seriously it's amazing. ICO is my favorite game of all time (and Radiohead's!!!) but play Shadow first. |
p4p
06.18.16 | stay away from persona 3. Elizabeth is a literal pain in the ass. |
Mystletainn
06.18.16 | stay away from persona 3 and 4 because they're boring
80+ hour time sinks each, no thanks |
EnyaFangirl
06.18.16 | :( 80 hour time sinks are great fk u |
Masochist
06.18.16 | Check out Star Ocean 3: Till The End of Time. That's the best Star Ocean game in the series, and definitely one that any JRPG fan should check out. Great mix of Sci-Fi and High Fantasy, plus the battle system is comparable to the Tales series--real-time battling on a small 3-D field.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is another one I think you'd enjoy, if you haven't played it yet.
I'll also [x] Onimusha 3. |

Slex
06.18.16 | Shadow of the Colossus is the best game on the PS2, and actually has great platforming in it. Also: RE 4, Okami, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Second Sight, San Andreas, Bully, and yeah the Prince of Persia games have phenomenal platforming in them.
Glad to see the love that Jak 3, Going Commando, and Psychonauts are getting, 3 of my absolute favorite games! |
Sinternet
06.18.16 | Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games that's just so good that it's still expensive.
I also second the fact that ps2 had a lot of great star wars games. I remember Bounty Hunter was one of my favourites. Clone Wars was really good too. Not sure how they would hold up today though. |

TheSpaceMan
06.18.16 | it aged a bit, especially the way your aiming reticle moves a little when movng your view, but its honestly one of the best arcade shooters out there |
Tunaboy45
06.18.16 | Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of the best ps2 games you can play |
Masochist
06.18.16 | Timesplitters 2 is the spiritual successor to Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. It's fun as shit. |
Keyblade
06.18.16 | "Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of the best ps2 games you can play"
agreed. kh1 is way better tho |
Slex
06.18.16 | I honestly prefer KH2 which I know definitely puts me in the minority. Idk why I always forget about the KH series, it is definitely one of the best in all of gaming |
anat
06.18.16 | Speaking purely from nostalgia: Max Payne 1 + 2, State of Emergency, Rayman 2, Simpsons Hit and Run, The Simpsons Game, SWAT Global Strike Team |
ConcubinaryCode
06.18.16 | Kh1 felt like the better rpg. Kh2 was fun from an action oriented perspective. Kh3 should be better than both. |
Slex
06.18.16 | KH3 does really look mindblowing |
Muisc4Life26
