PS2 Exclusives

[DeV0]

Does anyone have a list or a link to a list of ps2 exclusive releases? I just got a slimline and am building a collection for it. I also have an Xbox and as a rule if a release is on both i'll get the xbox version. I did a google which didn't help at all, alot of fanboy links about GTA and soul calibur 3. Any help would be great or any recomendations of PS2 only releases,

I do the same thing I only buy it for PS2 if it didn't come out on anything else.

 

Here are some good ones looking at my stack that only came out on PS2

 

Katamari Damacy

All three Ratchet and Clanks

Sly Cooper

Ico

Okage

Klonoa 2

 

If you don't have a GCN Viewtiful Joe only came out for PS2 and GCN.

By exclusive i mean PS2 only, Love rez but got it on the dreamcast. Thanks for your list though, I have played silent hill 1,2 & 4 so now i can fill the gap with 3. I bought ICO for a few dollars, really nice title. I got my hands on Viewtiful joe today, allthough i do have a gamecube. So what about wipeout fusion?? theres an ex rental copy for $9.99

[cimerians]

Oh...I wasn't counting past systems like Dreamcast. (Excellent system too bad it died so fast).

 

I like the Wipeout games but strangely I've never played the PS2 version. I might buy it if its only $9.99.

Anyone hear if Metal Gear Solid 3 will be released for Xbox? MGS2 Substance was, but I don't think I've heard anything.

Here are some games which are only available on the PS2 in terms of consoles (they're all originally PC games);

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

MDK2 Armageddon

Half-Life

Quake III Revolution

Unreal Tournament

Oni

Rune Viking Warlord

 

I wrote a big ol' article about these kind of ports. Also, good job getting Viewtiful Joe for PS2 (if you beat the game, you get to play as Dante from Devil May Cry!)

Robot Alchemic Drive. I love this game.

 

R-Type Final. C'mon, it's R-Type.

 

I've heard Gradius 5 fixes my long-standing issues with the series, so here it is.

Robot Alchemic Drive. I love this game.

That was one of the first games I bought when I got a PS2. I never really played it too much, though. I was hoping it would be a giant robot game along the lines of the Iron Soldier game series on the Jaguar and Nuon. But in play, the whole thing just felt clunky, and it didn't really inspire me to play too far into it. It just didn't seem like fun to me.

I'm a sucker for a gimmick. Sure it's clunky, and the "camera" is an abomination, but it's just so gosh darn CREATIVE in it's clunkiness.
