I am sliming my PS2 collection to only the essential seriers of that generation. I have all GTA's(no LCS), all Ratchat & Clanks, all Jaks, all SSX's, all the SLY games, and of course, Shadow of the Colossus? What do you think? Good, Lacking, Bad, Stupendious.
 
You need games like Okami, Metal gear solid 2 & 3,God of War, Resident evil 4(if you don't have it for GC) katamari damacy, and others...

I am thinking of doing the same as you, just keeping the best games availible for ps2.

Essentail? Sliming? Seriers? Ratchat? Stupendious? I think it's time CAG gets a spell checker.

Er, If you have SotC, how about ICO?
 
You could thin out some of those sequels to make room for more original games. Do you need every R&C game? The only SSX game you need is 3, that one was easily the best in the series.

I'd throw in some Ico, Katamari, Disgaea, Devil May Cry (1 or 3, not 2), etc...

Get Okami ASAP.
 
Virtua Fighter 4: Evo, Tekken 5, Guilty Gear X2(Slash if you want to import), Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection,
Okami, Disgaea, DDS 1 + 2, Nocturne, the Metal Gears, Gran Turismo 4, Silent Hill series, ummm anything else?
 
Shadow Hearts!


..as for Devil May Cry. I got DMC3 Special Edition for FREE, and I still felt ripped off. It was just fighting over and over, and I got bored after 30 minutes. Why is this series so loved? Did I miss something?

You're missing Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence & The Getaway: Black Monday. Plus I don't think SSX 1,2, & 4, Ratchet & Clank 3 & 4, or Jak & Daxter (the first game) are necessary. Other than that it's pretty good.

Is the Getaway that good? I mean, cream of the PS2 crop good?? Sounds kinda fishy to me...

It's certainly one of my favorite exclusives, I prefer it to a lot of what's been mentioned. I really can't understand how God of War and especially Devil May Cry are considered cream of the crop.
 
If you don't have an Xbox, you need to pick up Burnout 3 or Burnout Revenge for you PS2. The Xbox versions are better but the PS2 versions are pretty enjoyable. My favorite racing games of that generation. A lot of my favorites are already mentioned. Final Fantasy X and XII are really good also. The SSX's that I like are Tricky and 3.

Considering that I wouldn't want to own any of those games except for SOTC... lacking. A lot.
 
Stupendious?

What a great non-word.

Anyway, what is "essential" is completely subjective as shown by the varying responses in this thread. For instance:

..as for Devil May Cry. I got DMC3 Special Edition for FREE, and I still felt ripped off. It was just fighting over and over, and I got bored after 30 minutes. Why is this series so loved? Did I miss something?

I loved DMC3, but it isn't for everyone. It's a fighting game so what did you expect from it? It's like buying a basketball game and saying it's just basketball over and over. DMC3 is revered because it's unforgivingly difficult, but not in an unfair way. The controls are precise and there is a good deal of strategy in the game design. DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden are probably the best games of this genre of this console generation.

A game I think that's boring is Dynasty Warriors, but it has its own fans, enough to warrant the five plus games in the series.

I agree with Chacrana, SOTC is the only game on your list I kept. I like GTA, but the Xbox versions are better due to both load time and custom soundtracks (and arguably graphics) although the PS2 versions have better controls.

Other games I liked enough to keep were Yakuza, Space Channel 5, Guitar Hero, Tekken 5, Tekken Tag Tournament, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Final Fantasy X, X-2 (I don't care what anyone says, it was a fun game), and XII, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Valkyrie Profile 2, Shinobi (a very underrated game, thoroughly awesome), Ever Blue 2, Macross, Metal Gear Solid anything, Devil May cry series (at $30 for the boxset it was hard to pass up), Front Mission 4, Suikoden 3, 5 and Tactics, Katamari anything, lots of games.
 
If you don't compare getaway to GTA then its a great game. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into it and after you get use to the controls then its quite fun. I haven't tried black monday yet, its on my huge to play pile, but it can't be as bad as people say it is since the first one was so fun.
