I also got my Ps2 recently. I\'ve been playing Ps2 since it came out at friend\'s houses though. Never really got the urge to buy one earlier since i was pretty satisfied with my Psone, GBA, PC and DC but I graduated college last may and i\'ve been working full time since early August so i had the $$$ and decided a Ps2 would\'ve been a nice gift to myself. So far i was right.
I have 9 games and all of them are great in their own way.
I have:
DMC - 9/10 The end of boring 3d action games. Simply revolutionary. IMO this is the modern version of games like final fight or streets of Rage.
Stretch Panic - 7/10 i love it but i would not recommend it to anybody.
Vf4 10/10 - 3d Fighting Perfection. I tought it couldnt get any better than Soul Calibur but i was wrong.
Baldur\'s Gate - 8/10 Just plain bloody fun.
Gitaroo Man - 7/10 Just plain colorful fun.
SSX - 9/10 Ahhh fantastic game. Great combo/boost system and really really cheap now.
Maximo - 8/10 Shinobi, Contra and Rygar are coming but to get your retro fix right now, get this!
Onimusha - 6/10 feels way obsolete after playing DMC
Kingdom Hearts - 8/10 I bought it yesterday so far pretty nice stuff.
I think all of Kituka\'s games are excellent with the exception of Jak and Daxter wich i didnt enyoy all that much. I had more fun with Klonoa wich is the only other platformer that i\'ve played so far for Ps2.
