Decent games for PS2?

[My Spot]

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 1+2

Replace DA2 with Champions of Norrath. The company who made DA1 made that.

Yeah, but unfortunately none of the games on that engine run well on emulators (as of a couple years ago anyway)

 

[Misanthropist]

Manhunt 1 and 2.

Motor Mayhem if 2 players.

Dragon Quest 8.

1. Vice City
2. Metal Gear Solid 3
3. Final Fantasy X
4. Devil May Cry
5. Silent Hill 2 (loved it but couldn't play it again because it scared the shit out of me)

Shaolin Monks never seems to get any love. One of the best beat 'em ups of all-time.

It's a really good game. I was surprised after how bad Mythologies and Special Forces were.

Urban Reign is a good one too.

Rugby 08 is still the only rugby videogame I will play.

 

[The Prodigyy]

Jaws unleashed

You see I do's what I choose on shiny twenty-two's
Be's what I please in brand new Bentleys
That's right stupid! Soon as they couped it, I went and scooped it
Now I'm on the move, on the move

I'm playing Onimusha for the first time on PS4. I'm enjoying the game quite a bit.

The FF12 remake on PS4 is a lot better than the original.

Its based off the International Zodiac Job system version of the game Japan got in 2007, but allows you to have 2 jobs instead of one, they added speed boosters too for when you have to grind its a godsend. Also got a remastered soundtrack with some extra tracks.

International Zodiac Job System

An expanded version of the game, Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System, was released in Japan on August 10, 2007.[145] It includes twelve license boards (instead of the original game's one), each corresponding to a different Zodiac sign and job. The player can control guest characters and summons, and hold L1 to double the game's running speed. There is also a "New Game+" option, a "New Game- (minus)" option (in which characters do not gain experience), and a "Trial Mode" in which the player hunts monsters in 100 different maps to gain items and money. The game also includes the western version's English voices and widescreen 16:9 support, and a bonus DVD.[146][147][148]
