What are some of the rare PS2 games? Most rare games are pretty good and I need some more ideas for Xmas =D

Already have Gitaroo Man and Suikoden 3. Asking for Rez...

Suikoden 3 isn't really rare, a lot of people just made the assumption "Well, Suikoden I and II are pretty rare, so I guess III must be." In fact the only PS2 game I would consider remotely rare is Rez, which you can still find new for $50 if you look hard enough.

Really? I thought it was at least semi rare... Ah well, it's still pretty good...

Suikoden III was a rare game after its release for about a year when it became sold out and OOP, the game went for $80+ on eBay when it was Out of Print. Konami said they weren't making more, but somehow they did a re-issue of the game sometime last year and the value went back down to normal. I held on to my copy though

Rez for PS2 is semi rare, its difficult to find. Thats the only one I can think of. Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (while not so much rare) is a great overlooked title that a lot of people probably haven't played.

Gitaro Man (sp?) from Konami is quite rare. Sky Guner is uncommon.

Fatal Frame is often hard to find and pricey.

fatal frame is such an awesome game.........and with part 2 comming out soon, I'm sure that demand for it will go up. I still see this go used for $35-40.

Luckily i got Gitaroo-Man last year for only 30 bucks.You know i rented Sky Gunner when it first came out and i liked it.Only problem i had was it was hard.I mean i can beat the levels its only its impossible for me to get 1st place above your allies.

Gitaroo-Man is not a Konami game, it's by Koei and yes it is fairly rare since it had a very limited print. Suikoden III went out of print very fast, although maybe it was reprinted if the previous poster is correct.

I can't think of many others right now besides those already mentioned.

Other than the ones mentioned, some good and overlooked games are Drakan: The Ancient's Gates, and Jade Cocoon 2.

You could probably find a used copy of these somewhere, however chances are it's gonna take a lot of searching to find these new.

Jade Cocoon 2 reviews:

Jade Cocoon and Drakan are far from rare. Any Wal-Mart has them. Usually for $7.99-9.99.


Klonoa 2 is very rare.

I beleive Disgaea, and Magic Pengel are low runs too.

yeah.........drakan is pretty common, but again a pretty soild game.........like a midieval tomb raider..i got mine used at eb games for $9.99.

Bouncer for PS2 is kinda hard to find

the only rare game mentioned so far has been disgaea. all the other games mentioned so far i can find new and used in one day. i don't know why people still think rez is rare. my walmart and and a best buy have a gazillion copies still. not to mention the few i see here and there at other places. it might've been rare at first, but they did a reprint and that game is way easy to find. i can still find new copies of suikoden 3. circuity city and toys r us have abundant copies of them. gitaroo man isn't rare but it is a harder game to find.

I saw a few copies of Magic Pengel at Toys 'R Us yesterday for 40 bucks.

How about Ring of Red

Well, it all depends on where you live really. It took days upon days of calling stores to find Drakan, then I finally found an EBGames about 10 miles from me that had it for $30.

As for Jade Cocoon 2, I never really sat down and called stores to find it, however wherever I went I NEVER saw it until one day I went to a Castco which had an enormous amount of games (the aisle was FILLED), and just one copy of Jade Cocoon 2, which despite being pretty busted up (you could tell it was there a while), I still got. Maybe it's just my area, but almost all the games you guys mentioned are extremely hard to find. Probably just a higher demand here, who knows.

Suikoden III got a reprint at $30 a few months back.

Yeah. My Toys R Us has Jade Cocoon 2 for $20. Suikoden III couldn't possibly be considered rare. It's very easy to find. TRU has it for $30. I see Rez alot, and the Bouncer is very easy to find. They always have Gitaroo Man and SkyGunner at my GameStop, and I even see Ring of Red alot (at CC right now...). I don't see how you could possibly think Disgaea is rare. It's only about 2 months old!! As far as I can tell, it's selling quite well, especially for a Strategy RPG. Not rare at all. Try again in 5 years. The only one of these games that might be tough to find is Klonoa 2, but you can always get ahold of it for about $30 on Ebay or EBGames. Be careful not to confuse high price with rarity.

Another rare game is RAD. I've only seen it a few times at stores. There is only 3 listings for it on ebay also.
