Hey everyone I just bought a PS2 off of Kijiji and I need a few of your honest opinions if the deal I got was pretty good.  For $40 I got  a Slim, Silver PS2 with 1 controller and all the cords.  Opinions?

Now with that out of the way I would really appreciate it if some people suggested some games that are fun to play on the PS2.  I would buy both PS1 or PS2 so anything you find fun or think I would like would be great to hear from you, hehe.  I'm really into RPG's and FPS games.  I've beat a few Final fantasy 's and other RPG;s for the PS1 and 2 and have played a few FPS games for the PS2 like killzone.  I'm also into Strategy games so my mind is pretty open to anything.

I'd really appreciate some suggestionds, hehe.

Here is a list of the games that have caught my attention so far:

Persona 3
Persona 4
Devil May Cry 1 & 2 & 3
Mercenaries
Killzone
Okami
Red Faction
Champions of Norrath
God of War series
Bully
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
God Hand
Radiata Stories
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of the legendia
Shadow Hearts 1 and 2
Time Splitters 2
Onimusha Series
Disgaea 1 & 2
Xenosaga Trilogy
ys - The Ark of Napishtim
Rogue Galaxy
Jade Cocoon series
Koudelka
Parasite Eve 1 & 2



That is the list so far.  I hope it's a good list so far and I wish to add on to it so please feel free to keep suggesting games, hehe.  Any genre would be fine as long as it's a good game.  I haven't added some games to the list because:

Metal Gear Solid series (Not convinced)
Jak and Daxter Series (Not convinced)
Ratchet and Clank Series (Not convinced)
Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 (Beat it)
Star wars battlefront (I own #2)
GTA Games (Played them all and have IV)
Star Ocean (Played the third one.  I liked it but wouldn't buy it)
Final Fantasy XII (Had it.  Got to the last boss and sold it. :()
Vagrant Story (Beat it)
Resident Evil series (Played most of them and beat half of them)

I'm just gonna get this out of the way since this is Giant Bomb.

You will like Persona 4.

If you've ever enjoyed an action platformer, then Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank are worth a try.

To differentiate: Sly is focused on straight forward action platforming, Jak features more exploration and collecting, and Ratchet contains a lot of unique weapons to shoot.

Play Persona 3 FES first!

There are so many. I'll do what I did in an Xbox 360 thread earlier today:

Devil May Cry 1 & 3
The few Jak games
The few Ratchet games
Star Wars: Battlefront
Katamari Damacy
Metal Gear Solid 2-3

The first mercs, okami, jak and daxter series, ratchet and clank series, kingdom heart series, at least one of the dbz fighting games, red faction 1, any mega man games that are compatible with ps2, 007 goldeneye, champions of norath, God of War series, persona 3+4, SW battlefront, and that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

Metal Gear Solid 3

Bully is really good.   Even though its made by Rockstar, Its different enough from GTA that its worth a look.

Well, if it's a new PS2 then of course it was a good deal because they'd normally cost you a 100 bucks. Now if it's used... ehhh... you probably could've gotten a better deal if you looked for an ad that included some games with it as well. But even then, I personally wouldn't have bought it. Getting a used PS2 at this point is a bit too risky -- especially if it's a slimline PS2 (disc read errors AHOY!)

No ones mentioned Onimusha yet? Shame on you's all.

Onimusha 1, 2, 3 and Dawn of Dreams
Resi CVX
Resi 4

xenosaga might be another series worth looking into but its known for its long-winded cutscenes (i didnt mind them too much) very good series overall but a heavy time investment needed

Lot's of long lists here already, so I'll just give you two.
