Mark E Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Klonoa 2 should be a Greatest Hit just by default, irregardless of its sales . Otherwise both VF4s, both SSX games, Baldur's Gate, and Code Veronica would be my personal top picks. Mind you my PS2 experience is limited (and I've heard great things about Kingdom Hearts).

Zathras Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 If you are interested in the titles be sure to get them quick before they switch completely to the Greatest Hits covers. I picked up FFX (actually the third time I've bought it - long story) and managed to get the original cover. Fellow LCVG member Kain Rising bought it with the GH cover and the booklet is entirely black and white inside (the original is glorious technicolor...) Now I need to track down FFX Tricky - "Its Tricky to Bahamut, to Bahamut its Trickaaaaaay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Looking for some reccomendations out of the greatest hits. In general I like sports, driving and rpg's but I am always willing to try other genres. I was thinking about Gran Turismo but I think I will wait for #4 to come out. I would also like a game with good replay value or one that takes a while to get through. Something that provides a good workout for the home theater is also an added bonus but not a requirement. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Ktulu From the above batch the ones I've played that meet your requirements (If you haven't got them already): Final Fantasy X (Square) Kingdom Hearts (Square) As far as ones that take a while to get through these are numbers 1 and 2 with a bullet and very good games to boot. Grand Theft Auto 3 (Rockstar Games) -addictive open ended game gameplay with good soundtrack SSX Tricky (EA) - fun pickup and play type gameplay and supports DTS sound for your HT I'm sure others will chime in too.

Ktulu Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Thanks Zathras. I was thinking about Final Fantasy but I think I might give it a rent first because I really got tired of the series back at 7 and 8 and I doubt much has changed. I will look into Kingdom Hearts as well thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I doubt much has changed. In my opinion you would be correct. If anything it's gotten worse to my mind. But other people seem to love the FF series so you would probably do well to rent it. I've heard lots of good things about Dark Cloud, and I can vouch for Baldur's Gate being fun if you want a Gauntlet-esque light RPG that has dynamite co-op play.

Zathras Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I just got tired of 7 about midway through and never finished it. FFX just clicked with me more for some reason. If 7 rubbed you the wrong way though you may want to skip it and check out Kingdom Hearts. It is a nice blend of styles, good story and the fights are real (not turn based). Check out the reviews here. What I've played of Balders Gate has been good but I didn't play enough to get too deep into it. Oh and if you are looking for a challenge Maximo is old school hard (it's a 3d Ghouls and Ghosts game). For $19 I doubt you could do too bad with any of them.

Ktulu Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 For $19 I doubt you could do too bad with any of them. Except theyre mostly $39 in Canada :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Except theyre mostly $39 in Canada The heck? Man, Greatest Hits titles should be a maximum of $30 at most places unless the prices have shot through the roof since I last checked. I mean, maybe at EB, but I wouldn't shop there unless forced anyway (or they had a kick-ass pre-order ). Most Wal-Marts offer for $30 last time I saw...

Graeme Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Tony Hawk 4 dropped to GH prices a few days ago. I assume it will be officially a GH anytime now. When did Kingdom Hearts and Socom become GH? Those are still nowhere near GH pricing on the EB website, nor at the B&M store I work at (KH is still $75).

Romier S Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 When did Kingdom Hearts and Socom become GH? Soon, end of the month I believe to beginning/middle of September. I've seen the GH cover for Kingdom Hearts, though not of Socom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 For Canadians Futureshop just dropped Final Fantasy X down to $29.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I dunno about FS, but ours dropped last week, and we got a large shipment of GH clad boxes a few days afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillfastasleep Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 The sony juggernaut just keeps rolling along. How do you compete when so many top-rated titles sell for so little? Along with the least expensive first party titles. No wonder they just keep racking up the sales outselling the xbox and gc combined.

Sam P Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I'll be the first to buy KH when it's at 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Add a few more to the list: these two were just announced.... Ratchet and Clank Sly Cooper and the Theivius Raccoonus ...and this one is missing from the list, added earlier this year: Stuart Little Carlos.

Sam P Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for Kingdom Hearts. It's still $74.99CDN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Tekken 4 is listed as a GH title in our computers now, and sells for the GH price.... we just don't have any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splunk Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Um...Rommie, buddy, wanna update the list for a soon-to-be PS2 owner? Just think of all the fun you'll have compiling it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
