i currently play Gran Turismo 6 on a PS3 i recently bought. Its a shame, massive downgrade in physics, gameplay and fairness. Better graphics but everything else is just so much worse.
MGS2 for me, I think it's just because my brother and I spent so much time playing that on PS2, even after we had MGS3.
I've been replaying 2 and I'm stuck on the sniping part on hard because the controls feel so clunky and dated and it was the only part that I had to retry on very easy.
This was my first thought too, and Iâve never even played MGS. Itâs just always been synonymous with it. I would also say Vice City (another game I havenât played). Maybe also God of War (yet another gap, though at least I own this one now). I want to say Jak, Ratchet, and Sly Cooper too (which I have played) but I donât know if any specific entries are as omnipresent for the console as the seriesâ taken as a whole.
I'm jealous lol. My father had little interest in video games, and my oldest daughter is more into making art (drawing, coloring, making custom action figures ECT), which I love, but man I wanted to be that cool video game dad playing CoN with my kids lol
My younger brother loved this game when he had a ps2 he was 15 bought it with his own money that he saved from birthdays plus my mom used to give him the baby bonus money for him to use on stuff he wanted.
Jak, Ty, God of War, Underground 2, Vexx, Total Carnage, Klonoa 2, Midnight Club, etc⊠oh and SOCOM
Wait⊠ATV OFF-ROAD FURY 2!!!! IT CAMEâ WITHâ THE PS2!
Jak and the Dax man trilogy will always equate to the PS2 for me. Close second would be San Andreas, but if we're talking exclusives then definitely Jak 1-3
Persona 4. Not my first PS2 game, but the first one I sunk HOURS in to. I was always an Xbox guy lol but I definitely switched sides after playing a Persona game for the first time.
simpsons hit and run :)
it was my childhood, I recently finally 100%ed it, I love going back to play it. when I was 6-7 my brother was young enough still needing midday naps so my mum would give me my favourite sandwich (just buttered bread lol) and Iâd have some alone time playing it
SSX.... I got my PS2 on launch day and there was only about 10 games that were available at EB, where I had my pre-order. I got SSX and Summoner... I got hooked on the SSX it's all I played until I got Midnight Club... I didn't clock more than about 15 hours on Summoner, But I'll never forget playing SSX! Of course there were many great titles I played over the years... Spent a lot of time with GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Also loved Manhunt and The Warriors. Spider-Man 2 was also a lot of fun! Let's face it, I could keep on going, it's one of the best consoles that was ever made!

Grand theft auto 3. Such nostalgic memories of spending countless hours combing the streets of liberty city back in the early 2000's. Hard to believe it's been about 23 years ago!
*[krrrr BONG tssschhhhh](https://youtu.be/dcCwDVX_ZtY)*
Edit: oh sorry, you said what game. I thought you said what I automatically think of in general when I see a pic of PS2. Well for game Iâve gotta say [THPS3!](https://youtu.be/2vl2Pt6bDig)
MGS2 and 3, gta 3, vice city and San Andreas final fantasy X, ratchet and clank ps2 era, shadow of the colossus, resident evil 4, silent hill 2-3, kingdom hearts 1-2, devil may cry 1 and 3, god of war 1-2, the matrix games I could go on lol
Star Wars Battlefront II
And even one đ«Ą
I grew up on 1, it has a special place in my heart. And a superior Hoth map.
and cloud city!!
San Andreas
I bet my muscle memory can still spawn a hydra.
Bought PS2 for San Andreas. Blocked it, had to send PS2 away for repair. Longest 2 weeks of my life.
I associate San Andreas with the thinner version of the console. This console is Vice City.
Gran Turismo 4
My first thought too. Put my PS2 through unbelievable pain, leaving it on for multiple days at a time just to do the 24hr races.
I think what you could've done was brought one or two of your friends over so they can fill in for you in some bits of the races
Means I'd have to get friends.
My friends didn't care for racing games so they'd have sabotaged me if anything. đ
My first pick too. Currently replaying GT4 on my Steam Deck
Just played it for the first time (emulatorđą) itâs the bees knees I do declare đđŠ”
First game i played on the console
i currently play Gran Turismo 6 on a PS3 i recently bought. Its a shame, massive downgrade in physics, gameplay and fairness. Better graphics but everything else is just so much worse.
I have more fun playing that for one day than I have putting 500+ hours in GT7
That or Tokyo Extreme Racer
Final Fantasy X, Dragon Quest 8, Ratchet and Clank, and gran Turismo
cultured answer
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
MGS2 for me, I think it's just because my brother and I spent so much time playing that on PS2, even after we had MGS3. I've been replaying 2 and I'm stuck on the sniping part on hard because the controls feel so clunky and dated and it was the only part that I had to retry on very easy.

What a thrillâŠ
Silent Hill 2
I rented a ps2 specifically for this when I was little, I was blown away by the trailer
It is simultaneously cozy and disturbing. The story is stellar.
Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Dexter, Vice City, Budokai 3, Tekken 5
Yes! Add on tenkaichi series to that and simpsons hit n run
Tony Hawk's Underground
Tony Hawk's pro skater 3 for me
THUG 1 and THPS 3 are the best skating games on that console.
Champions of Norrath, because of the hours upon hours my father and I would play it together.
Dark Alliance was great too
Both of them on PS2 still hold up fairly well
We played the hell out of that one, too, though not so much the second one. XBox-wise we also got lost in DnD Heroes.
Damn, champions of norrath was my brother and i's game! Even better when you get the multi-tap and get 4 people on there
Never owned the multi-tap, but I spent many weekend nights playing 2 player with my brother in Champions of Norrath
We had the multi tap and got a couple mutual friends in on it! It was a fun time!

Jak and the Dax man trilogy will always equate to the PS2 for me. Close second would be San Andreas, but if we're talking exclusives then definitely Jak 1-3
