Edit: Complete list in the comments.
|START》》|
Right now I am trying to collect all the games I find good enough or just interesting for the PlayStation 2, but since I dont want to have a wall text in the booknote of the cellphone I made this thread so I can post a list of the games I consider worth it and would be a nice addition to the collection.
I am open to the idea of also include ok games if they are not pretty good but enjoyable and bad/shovelware games if they are so bad are actually good, I have multiple ideas for this list and I certainly hope everyone can comment their favorites games and just make a good list for everyone that want to collect games for the PS2.
Notes:
- The list will be alphabetical order, alongside the name of the game I will put a really short personal mini review, but if you want to write a long review of a game that you truly like and recommend I will include it alongside the name of the game inside a spoiler.
- Japanese and European games will be included in a different list for avoid confusion also because the PS2 is not region free.
- Don't hesitate to comment and mention if you think a game I consider decent is actually not that good, if your argument is actually well built I will consider remove it from the list.
- Don´t be afraid of comment a wall text will all the games that you like from the PS2, Go ahead, make my day.
- Suggestions are welcome for make a better list.
- All games included were previous tested or beat.
- If a game if not in the list is pretty possible because I havent played it or I didnt had the time to include it.
- NA = North America, EUR = Europe, JPN = Japan.
The rank list I am using is:
- Good
- Decent
- Ok
- So bad is good.
For avoid favoritism about games that I love and don't make other good games less interesting I prefer to include everything that is good inside just a "good" label, everything that I consider decent is a fine game that I consider worth it even if it's not perfect, and ok is possible a flawed game with stuff I consider enjoyable or some good points.
Recommendable and interesting PS2 gamesNumber NA- 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker - decent - An arcade trucker game by Sega that was ported to console by Acclaim, just like Outrun it feels a lot like a racing game for chill while driving and avoiding other vehicles.

Number EUR- 7 Blades - Good - An early hack n slash with two campaigns and a pretty japanese folkrole it is also one of these games where everyone but your character dies.
Number JPNLetter A NA- Aqua Aqua - Good - A sequel from Wetrix on the N64, It is a puzzle game about building mountains and save water from leaking, it is pretty difficult but actually good, tutorial is a pain, though.
- Adventures of Cookie and Cream - Good - A 3D platforming game by From Software from those times when they werent making Dark Souls and Dark Souls and Dark Sou...
- Activision Anthology - Good - A collection of Activision games for the Atari 2600, it includes a lot of games and some interesting extras like manuals, tech demos and prototypes of unreleased games.
- Alien Hominid - Good - A run and gun with sympathetic graphics that used to be a flash game from 2004, it is obviously inspired by Metal Slug and is actually harder than I expected.
- Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am - Ok - Frankly the game itself is not pretty good, it is like a simple beat em up with simple racing and simple golf, but it includes the original voices of the characters and a brand new exclusive episode of the show, so maybe that is enough for fans and pay the 5 bucks people ask for it.
- Airforce Delta Strike - Good - A fighting air combat game, it includes a lot of different machines and a based mission progression for the story mode, the music and voice acting is also pretty good and curiously the game is playable with a special controller that resembles a real control panel from a jet, truly underrated.
- Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune - Ok - It is not a reboot or something, but for some reason instead of using a green soldier with real weapons, your character is a child with a strong imagination, the game is pretty basic and pretty easy, but for some reason it give me nostalgia, for 5$ I think it is entertaining and enjoyable while it last.
Letter A EUR- Altered Beast - Decent - A gritty reboot of Altered Beast, instead of the fantasy greek aura of the original game and sequel this one is more like an action Serie B movie where your character is a man that because of bio-implants can mutate and transform into beasts for overkill everything in sight, it is a standard beat em up but I think is good enough for recommend it, for some reason the NA version was canned.

Letter B NA- Beatmania - Good - One of the few Beatmania games that were released for NA, it also include the giant Beatmania controller, it is a rhythm game that is also pretty popular in japan.
- Beyond Good & Evil - Good - The developer team actually put a lot of love and brilliant ideas making the game but at the time it actually sold kinda poorly, it's an action game with pretty good ideas and some truly clever moments, they are making a sequel right now even if it doesn't look too much like the original canned sequel.
- Bully - Good - An open world game but this time with a college student that is just trying to survive the high school, the dialogues of the game are sometimes truly hilarious cringe and the missions are interesting because they involve the protagonist coexisting with other students and even the evil adults, it includes a lot minigames, collectables, dialogues and more interesting a respect system involving you being kind or an A-hat with the people around you, it is actually pretty good.
Letter B JPN- Bouken Jidai Katsugeki: Goemon - Good - It's a reboot of the franchise, this time you play with a child Goemon that is always accompained by a little tiger, the story is actually a bit serious and the game is actually extremely good, it indeed feels a lot like a platforming game with some elements from Zelda, it even has some of the best and most creative levels I have ever seen in a videogame, a North American version was planned for 2004 but is strongly rumoured it was canned by Sony because the obviously 2000 ps2 game graphics.
