Best Playstation 2 Games!?!

what are the best playstation 2 games of all time! im into rpg games and action and shooters.

PS2 doesn't have very many good shooters.

But RPG's are a plenty.

Dragon Quest 8 and Final Fantasy XII are up there.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are also excellent adventure/platformer games, if you like those.

God of War is always good for a mindless, bloody action romp.

legaia 2, hands down!

quake sucks!

Dark Cloud 2, its my favorite rpg so far.

And that had what to do with anything?

God Of War, Devil May Cry series, GTA San Andreas, FIFA, PeS

Final Fantasy X and XII, Resident Evil 4 if you don't have a gamecube, GTA games if you're into that style, Metal Gear 2 and 3, Gran Turismo 3 and 4 and apparantly God of War is supposed to be outstanding, never played it myself.

i didt realy like god of war

God of War was amazing. The GTA series has always been great. Final Fantasy is supposed to be great; I could never get into them myself.

Katamari Damacy also sparked the interest of many a gamer.

Most of these aren't exactly "PS2 games," in as much as they're available on other consoles, but they're available on the PS2.

The Shadow Hearts series. 1 is going to be expensive to get used, but 2 and 3 should be no problem, and they're some of the best RPGs out there. And it is indeed a PS2 exclusive.

Action/shooters? That would be Resident Evil 4.

Everybody talks about the GTA games, as you've just noticed. The actual missions tend to be pretty repetative, and I've never quite understoof the fuss, but they're fun to just screw around with.

You need to play both Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil. They're both complete blasts.

Then maybe check out The Suffering. Not the best PS2 game of all time, by any means, but it's good, dark action, and the morality system is pretty cool.

Hit the nail on the head, but I'll add a few more.

Shadow of the Colossus
Smackdown vs Raw 2006 if you like wrestling games
Devil May Cry trilogy

MGS series, God of War. That's pretty much it for me.

Devil may cry 1 & 3 (the 2nd sucked), Metal gear solid 2 & 3, Final fantasy X, Ico, Shadow of the colossus, GTA san andreas, Jak trilogy and Killzone.

about shadow hearts. I played the first one and enjoyed it for its dark atmosphere, but #3 seems to be more of a comedy type thing. Kung-fu Cats and Frank the Ninja scared me away from the third one. BTW, anyone play Koudelka PS1?
Anyway, don't forget Okami. The game pretty much proves that video games can be an art form.
