Music Themed Games For PS2

[Blaster1]

I'm thinking of buying a couple of music games for PS2. What do you suggest? Most likely Parappa 2 will be one of them.

[Adrian]

IIDX - hard to get into but regardless of the Style, the music is always of very high standard for every genre.

[Jeremy]

Well, Parappa 2 can be found for about $20 or so. That might be your best bet if you're on a budget. If you've got money to burn, get Rez, it will usually sell for $50 due to it being hard to find. Either one should satiate your music game needs.

What is IIDX?

[Blaze]

Definitely Gitarooman. Nothing else comes close.

[Captain Vegetable]

Here're a few:

IIDX (Beatmania IIDX that is)
Gitaroo Man
Rez
Space Channel 5 pt. 2

And avoid PaRappa like the plague. That steaming pile of bull-poo gives rythm games a bad rep.

I've only played two, I think they are both mediocre, Mad Maestro, and Parappa 2.

Parappa 2 was so dissapointing, heh, I think I'll have to add this to my thread.

[Superstition]

I really enjoyed Mad Maestro. It took a playing of the demo disk to convince me it was worth a purchase though. Of course, I love classical music, so that helped sway me too (conducting Night on Bald Mountain was a blast). If your taste don't include that kind of music, then look elsewhere. I think it can be found for under 20 bucks now.

IIDX definitely if you have access to a JPS2. And even if you don't, its worth buying one for.


Gitaroo man is a must get though.

Gitaroo Man. I'm not much for music games, but this is a must-buy.
