Games that really take advantage of the PS2\'s hardware...

the ai of gta3
jak and daxter
mgs2, where shotting people in different place effect them different ways, graphics, everything,

dmc
ico
state of emergency ( seeing all those people on screen at once impresses)
final fanatasy 10

but to be honest i dont think any game has yet push what the ps2 can do, it will always getting better. look at the ps1 compare tekken, to tekken 3

well said kop. I also agree that none of the games out now come close to pushing the ps2. Ive also *heard* that none of these games are even pushing %50 of the ps2\'s capabilities.

RECVX had great graphics 2 years ago when it 1st came out on the dc.  on the ps2 it was basically the dc version with a few jaggies but better color depth.  it still looks ok but there\'s better looking games nowadays.  how can u even compare it\'s graphics with dmc.

other games with impressive graphics

silent hill 2
ace combat 3

After just playing GT3 for a little bit I relise it still holds the crown in my opinion

For real?  I play the game and after the game was first loaded.  I eject the disc and play the game without the disc to see if there is any loading.  to tell you what.  Even without the disc, i repeat without the disc in, the game still run @ 60hz, there are still lot of action on screen like enemy still run around and attack, i run around the big world and there aren\'t any load time.  I died and the game continue again and again after i died without any load time and without the disc in the ps2.  Nearly everything are already loaded on screen first time and it doesn\'t need the disc anymore except the music, cutscenes where characters talk.  If you have jax and daxter, you should try playing the game without the disc after it first loaded and see what i mean.  Before, I used to think mgs2 really using a good amount of ps2 potential.  But after seeing J & D, i think i haven\'t really see anything yet.  PS2 is really powerful and J & D proves it.

Baulders Gate: DA was fairly decent but not as good as the aformentioned games.

Are you sure you\'re telling the whole truth Paul2?  I know for a fact that J&D doesn\'t even go for a second without the disk in.  It streams data off the DVD constantly, which means the DVD has to be in the PS2 at all times in order to play.

did someone played world rally championship? it looks so good, almost as the real thing. better than gt3, IMHO

Ohmigawd!!! How could ANYONE for even a split second, think that Resident Evil: Code Veronica X has better graphics than Devil May Cry?!

Tell me something, you don\'t live in America do you? I have no experience with PAL versions, or imports of any kind, but I have heard that some of those verisons unfortuanetly suffer graphically. Is this what is going on? Do you have a PAL version or something?

I will have to agree, the PS2 has yet to see it\'s prime in games, especially with games like "Xenogears" on the horizon. But, if I were to give a couple of examples of what games I think push the PS2 a bit, I would say MGS2, FFX, GT3, Baulders Gate DA (the water was pretty cool), and J&D. I know that there are many great games that could be listed, it\'s just so hard to pick.
