Theres a 3D harvest moon out for PS2 that i play. Its pretty good. Otherwise you should pick up FFX, thats a good one, although i havnt finished it. >_<
They also so have a KOF 2 pack out for PS2, its not an RPG, but its a good fighter.

Iām considering getting the 2 others .hack// later on when Iāll finish the game. [/b]
ahemā¦the other three. QUARANTINE comes out this month, so you might as well go ahead and count it.
Anyway, I suggest you get KH, FFX, maybe Legaia 2: Duel Saga, Zone of the Enders, ZOE2: The 2nd Runner, Metal Gear Solid, MGS2: The Sons of Liberty, and if you think youād like <a href=āhttp://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/ps2/orphen/ā>Orphen</a>, go rent that.
Definitely get FFX. That was my first game when I bought my PS2, and Iāve really enjoyed it. Also try Xenosaga. Iāve wanted to try the Dark Cloud games, but I havenāt gotten around to it yet. Iāve also heard that Disgaea is good.
A lot of people liked Kingdom Hearts, but I wasnāt one of them - I just never got into it.
You could go Final Fantasy crazy with PSX games (7-9, Tactics, Anthology, Chronicles, Origins) if youāre into the series. Iād also get Xenogears when you can find it - Iām playing it now and Iāve never finished it before, but I think itās super. Thereās also Dragon Warrior 7, which I havenāt opened yet. I havenāt gotten to play many other games yet since I get bug-eyed in front of a TV when I sit there too long.
THere are also plenty of good non-RPGās (Although donāt get me wrong - RPGs are the way to go). Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Metal Gear Solid 2 (And soon to be 3), Tekken series, Soul Caliber 2 (Although i like the GC version better due to link), Gran Turismo 4, Silent Hill 3 and more.
Also some awsome games on the way. Altered Beast (Yes a remake of the orignal), Resident Evil: Outbreak, Metal Gear Solid 3, SpiderMan 2, etcā¦
Iād also suggest FFX. Although I probably shouldnāt say this but FFX-2 is good too. Oh, and donāt forget Disgaea, and you may want to check out Culdcept.
.hack//Infection
.hack//Mutation
.hack//Outbreak
.hack Quarantine
Tony Hawkās Pro Skater 4(or Underground)
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers or RotK
FFX(if you want. I donāt like it personally)
Xenosaga(if you want a headache)
If you like .hack//Infection, get the rest to play through the whole story. The gameplay is the same throughout without too many differences. FF10 is a must. Get Xenosaga if you donāt mind LONG cutscenes, otherwise, pass it up fast. Zone of the Enders is all right, but ZOE2: 2nd Runner is much better. Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (youāll like the extras over the Greatest hits version). Kingdom Hearts is pretty fun and clever, the FF-element is just a weaker than it originally sounded like, but the Disney element is great, in fact it makes me want to watch the Disney movies. Iād hold off on Legend of Mana since it isnāt like Secret of Mana if that is what you are hoping for. ALso, the are many other games that are out that are better. If you want a run and slash Square game like Secret of Mana, get Kingdom Hearts. After FF10, you can get FF10-2 which is pretty good. If you want a Dark Cloud game, get the second one. The first one is very repetitive.
LoM is one of the best games Iāve ever played, though its not for everyone and judging from past experience and what I know about you, I donāt know if youāll be able to appreciate its depth.
FFX owns. Xenosaga owns (though its not for everyone - its not a game, its basically playing a movie). As others said, if you like .hack, the concensus is that the rest is mostly the same, so enjoy. Disgaea is a must, though I havenāt played. No time, no moneyā¦ Donāt get Dark Cloud 1. Its a bad Zelda clone. Pierson is the first person Iāve ever heard say anything good about the summoner games so Iād be careful.
KOTOR was an xbox exclusive, though its being ported to pc I thinkā¦

Iād say that Legend of Mana is all abotu taste, Iāve played through and beaten it, but it just didnāt catch me the same way that the other Mana games did. My problems with it are probably expectations vs reality. For me it is average, a good game to play through, but there are plenty of ther games worth my time a little bit more.
I wouldnāt call Dark Cloud a bad Zleda cloen though since they are VERY different games. Aside from the sword slashing and hero with a green cover, they are pretty different. Dark Cloud would be more comparable to Diablo, since they are both dungeon exploring games.
KOTOT is out on PC already, but yeah, the only console you can get it on is XBOX. It is a game that no one should miss though. It has a great story, really feels like Star Wars, instead of just looking like Star Wars. it also has tons of replay value. There are probably at least 16 different ways to play through it, excluding the 6 different character classes, solely on story alone. The game takes about 30-40 hours too, so you do the math and that is a lot of excellent gameplay.
Originally posted by Ren Vice City is out for PS2 too, right? Get it.
Actually, the GTA Double Pack might be a btter purchase if you are recommending GTA. You get both and it is only $20. I never really got into GTA though. It seems like it sold more based on its premise than its gameplay.
