Help with game recommendations for ps2 and xbox

[RetroRich]

I like to collect for ps2 and xbox. right now, if i know that the title is multiplatform, i usually get it for xbox.

Since that is the case, i want to know what are some of the good exclusive ps2 games that are out there.

Similarly, what are some of the good exclusive xbox games, as well as good pc ports that the xbox recieved?

this is what i currently have for xbox. You can view my ps2 stuff on the side as well. Not a lot of stuff, but i'm still starting.

If you like hack n slash, there's Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2 on both platforms (the Xbox version is more common and usually cheaper than the PS2 version, however).

If you like fighting games, the dead or alive series is a must for xbox, theres even an updated version of the first game that came with doa ultimate, saw it at a used store and made me want an xbox for a brief moment.

Theres too many awesome rpg games for the ps2 to list really.

Honestly your question is too open ended to answer. What type of games do you not like, which genre do you want to collect for exactly?

[sneekyweezel]

Castlevania Curse of Darkness
Ninja Gaiden Black

Headhunter Redemption
Onimusha series
Tenchu Wrath of Heaven
Halo 1 & 2

I've beaten 2 many games- I didn't look at your list so idon't know if you got these but some rule, you'll have to figure out what game goes with what system cauze i don't remember only Halo goes with xbox.

Dragon Quest 8 on PS2

Knights of the Old Republic 1&2 on XB

[FieryReign]

I didn't see Shadow of the Colossus in your library, a PS2 masterpiece. Odin Sphere is another. Blood Will Tell is a hidden gem if you're looking for something more obscure.

As far as Xbox, Voodoo Vince is a fun platformer. Stubbs the Zombie is fun but gets repetitive after awhile.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an extremely fun and underrated game available for both systems.

I'll second Stubbs the Zombie. I turned it on to see what it was like and ended up playing the whole game over the next few nights.

The PS2 has had no shortage of amazing titles, thanks in part to its incredible retail lifespan.
Here are some lesser know titles that are some of my favorites (in no particular order):

Okami
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Legendia
We Love Katamari
.Hack// series
.Hack//G.U. series
Disgaea 1 & 2

Although not a PS2 exclusive, I'd also recommend checking out Psychonauts.
If you don't mind playing the PC port, you can get that from Steam.

Sega released some excellent US exclusive titles on Xbox. Off the top of my head:

Panzer Dragoon Orta
Jet Set Radio: Future
Gunvalkyrie
Shenmue III

[Esquire Fox]

Shenmue III

Some of us would certainly like that.
The Xbox actually got Shenmue II, a port of the limited Dreamcast release that didn't make it stateside.
The third game, the last in the trilogy, was never made.

No, that totally wasn't a typo. We did receive Shenmue III, but Sega didn't see fit to show or sell it to you. You are wrong, sir. Get with it.

[razeak]

I second Panzer Dragoon Orta and JSRF.

[j_factor]

I see you have Syberia and Indigo Prophecy. Based on that I recommend:

Syberia 2 (obviously)
Dreamfall
Still Life
Headhunter Redemption (but first get the original for PS2 or DC)

also:
Beyond Good & Evil
Psychonauts
Galleon
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Stubbs the Zombie
Gladius

Going by the games on your entire list of games, you might like these.

Multi
--
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2(worse than the first one.)

Xbox
--
Just Cause(multi but way better on Xbox)

PS2
--
Champions of Norrath
Champions Return to Arms
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Smackdown Here Comes the Pain

Other than that, your game list is spread around too much in comparison to genres on these two systems to just not list everything good on either of them.

[duffmanth]

Any of the Metal Gear Solid games are among the best exclusives on the PS2. Like previously mentioned Jak and Daxter, God of War, Gran Turismo, Onimusha Warlords, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy, and Ratchet and Clank are some of the best exclusive series on the PS2. You should pick up Shadow of the Colossus to.

God Hand.

PS2:

REZ (Japanese DC port)
Culdcept (Japanese DC port)

All my suggestions are for the PS2 since I never owned an X-Box:

* the Armored Core series (the bulk of which was on the PS2)
* Capcom Classics Collection volumes 1 and 2 (I think there are X-Box editions too)
* the various SNK anthologies (World Heroes Anthology, Samurai Shodown Anthology, Fatal Fury Battle Archives, and so on). There were ten of these in Japan but I think only five made it stateside.
* Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (the original version was called Sons of Liberty, but Substance has more features)
* Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (the game itself is garbage, but the Subsistence two-disc release INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL MSX GAMES!!!!)
(MGS One is a PSOne game)
* Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
* Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (if you don't already have it for Dreamcast or Gamecube)
* King's Field: the Ancient City (a woefully underrated title)
* Eternal Ring (also underrated, but not quite as much as King's Field)

But, hands down, the BEST games on the Playstation 2...

* Devil May Cry 1-3. Yes, even part 2, though I consider it the weakest of the series, the entire trilogy is the pinnacle of modern action gaming. I could praise these games to the high heavens, but I'll let you play them and see for yourself.
