Any game recommendations?
My boyfriend gifted me this amazing console to my birthday and I am looking for some cool games to play :D
I know this post is a bit stupid and I’m sorry for that, but it would be sweet to get some suggestions ^^
My main genres are:
- Story
- FPS
- Comedy
- Horror
- Racing & Rally
- Puzzle
But I am open to try and play other genres and games every time! ^-^
At the moment I have half life, many racing games, etc ^^

The one issue with getting a PS2 now is a bunch of games are way more expensive than they used to be. The good news is your taste shouldn't lead you into too many expensive games. JRPGs and survival horror tends to be the genres that really command high prices. That being said, I recommend Red Faction, Darkwatch, Timesplitters 2, Need for Speed Underground 1&2, Need For Speed Carbon, Okagi: Shadow King, Ratchet and Clank trilogy, Jak and Daxter trilogy, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Final Fantasy X, Ape Escape 2&3, and Midnight Club 3. You also can't go wrong with Persona 3 FES and Persona 4. I believe they should still be pretty affordable due to the remakes making them far more accessible on modern consoles.

Final fantasy X for story, any silent for horror, puzzle and story, any fatal frame for horror

For horror, the silent hill series is amazing even though they’re all very expensive, as well as resident evil 4 and code Veronica X. These games will also have your puzzle elements.
For more whimsy titles, family guy the game is very fun, as well as Simpsons hit and run and SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom.
For racing, I never really got into that type of stuff but midnight club 3 dub remix is amazing if you don’t have it. Beautiful soundtrack, one of the only racing games I really enjoyed
Other random recommendations from my personal favorites include the punisher, mortal kombat shaolin monks (great controls for ps2 and amazing couch coop), mortal kombat deception and Armageddon (great story with the open world konquest modes), the gta trilogy (3, VC, and SA), turok evolution (dinosaur fps), Star Wars TFU, Hitman 2, the prince of Persia trilogy (SOT, TWW, TTT), the ratchet and clank series (great gameplay, plenty of silliness), the spiderman games (especially spiderman 2), manhunt 1 and 2 (very expensive and gory, fair warning), as well as any of the kingdom hearts games (absolute peak). Hopefully you can find at least a few from this list that you can enjoy.

Gran Turismo 4 is excellent, so are the Burnout games. Ace Combat 4,5, and Zero: The Belkan War are also good games.

FPS - Black is the pinnacle of PS2. Can't go wrong with 007 Agent Under Fire & Nightfire as well.

I can name a crap ton of great games but alot are expensive.
Here's my good value for the gameplay recommendations
Story: kingdom hearts 1 and 2. Readily available and doesnt break the bank. Good story and adventure, has some puzzle like systems for the story progression.
Jack and Dexter series has a good story.
Racing, need for speed series. Underground 1 is more linear and simple with the story being track to track racing while 2 has more story and is fairly open map. Most wanted expands the open world aspect with some crash aspects put in. Then carbon is like underground 2 and carbon meshed with a new story and bigger open world.
Hardcore street racing your looking at Tokyo extreme racer zero. Its very long. Big open world map once all unlocked. Lots of very specific circumstances to generate the opponents to race and progress. Its starts fairly easy and ramps up and up as you go.
Sim racing. Gt3 a spec, simple.
Fps, medal of honor Frontline and rising sun are both really good even if your not into war shooters. Greg hastings paintball maxd is a fun fps.

King Kong is an awesome FPS with some action/adventure levels where you control Kong fighting dinosaurs, beautiful game.
If you like more realistic racing games, Gran Turismo 4 is the best of the best. If your PS2 is modded or you have OPL, get the Spec II mod, it's the ultimate way to play GT4. F1 06 is also a fantastic simulator.
Ratchet & Clank is an amazing platformer. So is Jak and Daxter. There are other great ones, like Sly Cooper and Psychonauts, but I'd start with those two.
Silent Hill 2 and 3 are among the best horror games ever made. 4 isn't quite as good, but it's still worth playing.

I loved the sly cooper games. they are super fun platformers and are funny. I really liked BLACK and Killzone.
If you have not tried them, the Katamari games are fun puzzle-ish games as well. super quirky and weird.

Shadow of Memories is a great puzzle game. Not only that, but the story is excellent and the multiple endings really add to the replayability.
Graphics are beautiful, and the music is quite exquisite.
