PS2 Games Worth Getting for Less Than $10

It seems like the PS2 is getting close to being on it's last legs in the eyes of retailers. Other than a handful of games, many used titles can be gotten for less than $15. I recently picked up Silent hill 2 for under 15 and SH 4 for under $10. Persona 3 can be gotten for about the same and old niche stuff like GunGrave OD can be gotten for less than $5.

A lot of people bitch about games not being worth $50 but now that many (if not most) PS2 games can be gotten for under $15, what is worth giving a try?

Off the top of my head, some of my favs for under 10 would be

FF12
GunGrave
GunGrave OD
Chaos Wars
Persona 3
Metal Saga
Battleship Gunner 2
Ring Of Red
Xenosaga (lol, cut scenes)
Tokobots
Drakengard

Warning: All of those games are kind of f-chan.


Anyway, I thought this was worth talking about since we are reaching the end of the console's life cycle. A lot of those games are flawed, but for 5 bucks, they are worth a shot. And in a year or two, you won't find them outside of ebay.

This thread sucks.

Xenosaga is awful diapers filled with creamed spinach.
Dragon Quarter should be added to that list in its place.

this is a very fair thing to say!

others have come to mind

Samurai Western
BOF: Dragon Quarter
Castle Shikigami 2

I still think I <3 Katamari and Tekken Tag are the best 2 PS2 games.

You could get ALOT more for your money if you play PC games.... See Steam Holiday sale thread.

I am fond of the ratchet and clank, sly cooper, and jak and daxter games (in that order).

Gamestop has bins of 10 and 5 dollar ps2 games and if you are lucky and the store has a good selection you can walk out with gold. I've walked out with too much good stuff to name, but Castle Shikigami 2 was a huge surprise that I paid $4 for.

I think they think of me as the weird ps2 guy now, which is funny since I always bought Xbox/Gamecube games when the system was current.

The PS2 is for playing 2D game compilations and not much else.

One of the best hauls I ever made was Psi-Ops, Space Channel 5 Pt 2, and The Red Star from Circuit City before it closed. All new, for $20.

Fantavision for $3 was also a steal. I also once got Virtua Fighter 4 Evo for $2 at Best Buy.

Isn't Gamestop ceasing PS2 sales very soon?

Eh, most of the games I really want seem to be getting more expensive. I need to hurry up and get The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. =/

this is what I hear, hence the thread. It probably won't be long until they do some massive mark downs.

I could also just buy a note book and some pens and save even more money...


The thread is not about saving money. It is about PS2 games worth getting on the cheap since the system is about to die on the retail side.

PC games are for people with assburgers. This is where it's at:

Mark Of Kri

Some more (if you can still find them):

Shadow of the Colossus
Yakuza (I assume #2 hasn't dropped to $10 yet)
Kya: Dark Lineage (get this if you like 3d Rayman games)
Sega Classics Collection (mostly for the Fantasy Zone remake)
Way of the Samurai 1 and 2 (the first is better, though)
Gradius V
Okami
God Hand
Fantavision
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Contra series
Finny the Fish
Valkyrie Profile 2
The Red Star
Klonoa 2
Ape Escape 2
Sly series
Downhill Domination
Time Crisis series
Vampire Night
Ninja Assault
Sub Rebellion

Mark of Kri/Rise of the Kasai
Jaks 1-3, Combat Racing X
Sly Coopers 1-3
FF X/FF XII
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns
SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1
Capcom Classics Collections 1+2
Viewtiful Joe 1+2
Klonoa 2
Tekken Tag Tournament/Tekken 4/Tekken 5 (which includes the arcade versions of 1-3)
Fantavision
Speed Racer (this hovers around $10, and is basically a licensed version of GripShift)
Yakuza 1+2 (might be above $10 for both, JUST BUY THEM)
Maximo 1+2
Sega Genesis Collection (easily the best compilation on the system)
Sega Classics Collection (if you're dying for a revamp of Columns)
Okami

The Red Star is great.

Road Trip

Everyone always forgets that game exists, but it's by far the best Choro Q game available. It's the only one I'd actually qualify as fun, honestly.

I didn't know Tekken 5 had the first 3 games in it. Must purchase!

I think Klonoa 2 is like 5 bucks now. I had fun with that game.
