Hey KDR, Global Defence Force is finally out after a year of delays. One of my mates told me they completely removed the radio chatter, didn't even bother with subtitles. Quality! PS2 is pretty much my second favorite console ever, but it's hard to recommend most of what I have in my collection that I enjoy, as like 90% of them are PAL releases that never got released in America.
BUT BUT
Ace Crumbat 5. Lots of people say 4 is better but I played 4 and I was like NAAW. There's my review.
Activision Anthology. Because playing 2600 games on the PS2 with an awesome 80's soundtrack is fun.
Burnout 3. Even if you don't like racing games you'll enjoy it because who doesn't enjoy slamming cars into oncoming traffic? It's good to do in real life too, it's basically a brain training game. Burnout Revenge is arse compared to this.
Disaster Report. A quality game dragged down by the awful,
awful frame rate. But hey, that's because entire buildings fall down around you. You run around a city that's being ruined by earthquakes, some of the moments are jaw-drop worthy. The sequel just got released too, called Raw Danger. I haven't played that but apparently it's good. Except replace earthquakes with floods.
Flipnic. Demented pinball. The game is just so surreal, it's DELIGHTFUL.
Gitaroo Man. Developed by the Elite Beat Agent dudes. Friggin' hard, but pretty fun.
GTA SA. Because it annoys NWR, also because it's extremely good. GTA 3 is also worthy, but I dunno, just start with the best, really.
Grandia 2. Graphically hopeless compared to the DC version, but the game's still there in all its glory. :] Probably one of the only games I've enjoyed playing as a generic angsty wanker.
Gungrave. MINDLESS AWESOME FUN. DESTROY EVERYTHING. Good music too.
Kingdom Hearts. ... ;__;
Klonoa 2. You might have trouble finding this, but it's the best platformer on the PS2. Should have been on GC, really.
The Red Star. Took eighty years to come out, but damn it was worth it. A fantastic old-school style beat 'em up mixed with a shooter (you'll be dodging hundreds of bullets on-screen at times).
Rez. Because it's good, and it'll remind you that Sega used to make video games that were worth playing.
Sky Odssey. If you don't buy it I'll cry. Still the closest thing there is to Pilotwings 64.
Taito Legends 2. It's only $20, and you get like 25 or something awesome arcade games.
Transformers. NOT THE NEW MOVIE BASED ONE. This is the Melbourne House developed one that came out in 2004. Really awesome stuff, and the graphics are still incredible.
Yakuza. Because badly dubbed swearing every three seconds is lol.
