1. Dragon Quest XIII Journey of The Cursed King

2. Metal Gear Solid 3

3. Tony Hawk's Underground 2

While there are many great PS2 games which I played in different versions (e.g. TimeSplitters on the Gamecube or the Ratchet and Clank series on the PS3), I don't even remember ever owning twenty (or even ten) PS2 games. I do however remember that Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms were the reason for me to initially buy a multitap and later insist on getting the first model of the PS3 so that I could keep playing those games. Such a shame that Sony completely dropped both this series and the genre as a whole.

I still have the PS2 even though my old PS2 allowed me to played burned games, but now I can only play originals. I would really love to have more PS2 digital available for the PS4/PS5.

1. Silent Hill 2 

2. Haunting Ground

3. ICO

4. Silent Hill 3 

5. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time 

 

I really want to play Rule of Rose, because I heard a good words about the game but it is so expensive even in PAL region. Maybe one day I will find a cheap copy ;)

 

Still PS2 is the best survival horror/horror genre console ever made.

I can’t think of anymore games that I really enjoyed that aren’t in the above franchises. I would rate Final Fantasy XII or Kingdom Hearts 2 higher than Jak II for example. But I picked one game per franchise.

First thing that came to mind was Dragon Quest VIII. I really wish they would release it as a PS2 on PS4 game with trophies. 

 

Some other favorites...

 

Rogue Galaxy

Dark Cloud 2

Devil May Cry 1 and 3

God of War 1 and 2

Onimusha 3

Mana Khemia 1 (bought part 2 but could not get into it like the first game)

It's nice seeing some people mention Shadow Hearts, that's a series you rarely ever hear about anymore, but damn were they good (I really need to dig out my PS2 & play those again). :D What I'd give for just a remaster of that trilogy. ?

Games from the same series are in order. The ones I liked more are higher. Other than that, the order is random.

  1. Burnout 3: Takedown
  2. Burnout: Revenge
  3. Ratchet & Clank 3
  4. Jak 3
  5. Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
  6. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
  7. Metal Gear Solid 3
  8. Metal Gear Solid 2
  9. We Love Katamari
  10. Kingdom Hearts
  11. Silent Hill 2
  12. Resident Evil Code: Veronica X
  13. Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within
  14. Need For Speed: Most Wanted

 

No Vice CityThe Sands Of Time and NFS Underground because I only played them on PC.

 

Shout outs to everyone who said Burnout 3 and Burnout: Revenge. I'll make sure to give you my karma points when I get my daily portion of them ?

My Top 20, in various order
1. God of War
2. Silent Hill 2
3. Ratchet & Clank 2
4. Metal Gear Solid 3
5. Tekken 5
6. Burnout 3: Takedown
7. Ico
8. Shadow of the Colossus
9. Maximo (because I memorised it so well as an element of my childhood)
10. Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Galaxy
11. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, of course
12. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
13. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ("I'LL HAAAVE... TWO NUMBER 9's...")
14. Sly Cooper and Thievius Raccoonus
15. Sly 2: Band of Thieves
16. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3
17. Okami
18. Devil May Cry 3
19. Jak II: Renegade
20. Manhunt
Other parts of sagas/trilogies I've finished on PC/PS3/other platforms, therefore I do not associate them so much with PS2 as these 20 games. 
However, it was and is the essential part of my childhood (still, it is PSOne, which "sold" gaming for me and for Tekken 3 and Crash Bandicoot 3 I'll be forever grateful). Kudos.
