Playstation Completion List
 
So, I want to quickly round up the games on my two Sony consoles (the Playstation 1 and 2) before moving into the next gen in full force, so I'm making a list of all the games that I still need to play.

So far, my list looks like this:

PS2:
God of War
God of War II
Odin Sphere
Final Fantasy X-2
Ico
Dragon Quest 8
Guitar Hero
Dark Cloud
Dark Chronicle
Star Ocean

PS1:
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Castlevania: Sympathy of the Night
Heart of Darkness
Breath of Fire 4
Grandia
Front Mission 3
Chrono Cross


What I'm wondering if is there are any other good PS2/1 games that are worth buying and completing. As I trade in games after I've finished them, I can't quite remember all of the PS2 games I've played so far, but the list looks somthing like this:

Okami
Final Fantasy XII
Jade Cocoon 2
Devil May Cry 1
Devil May Cry 3
Jak 3
Shadow of the Colossus
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts 2
Time Crisis 2

If you say a game that I've havn't mentioned, I will add it to one of the lists.

try and find heart of darkness.great thats abit like oddworld.(thats ps1 btw)

sam250 02-20-2008 07:32 AM

Okay, Heart of Darkness looks pretty cool, I'll give that a shot :)

... If I can find it cheap, that it...

DarkHoodness 02-20-2008 07:36 AM

You seem like an RPG fan. Try getting:

PSX:
  • Breath of Fire 3
  • Breath of Fire 4
  • Hogs of War


There's some good PS2 games I know of too, but I gotta go off and do a laundry run so maybe I'll post here later. :)

Fuzzle King 02-20-2008 07:40 AM

sam go on this i just found it:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEART-OF-DARKN...QQcmdZViewItem

theres a very cheap copy of it on ebay iv found.theres a couple on there.try there.

sam250 02-20-2008 07:40 AM

Okay, Darkhood, is Breath of Fire a series where I have to have played all the games in the series to understand/fully enjoy? Or is it like Final Fantasy, where every game is seperate from one another?

I'll put BoF4 on the list anyway, as its got some good reviews.

I'm not so sure about Hogs of War.

Oh, and just to clarify, I'm really only looking for single player game. Not nessicarally story driven, though that would be nice too.

PS: Cheers Fuzzle King- not sure i'll get it yet, but it certainly looks like a great deal. Appreciate the link :)

Fuzzle King 02-20-2008 07:49 AM

no problem.also,this is one of my old faves. crash bandicoot. if you have psp,you may be intrested in what iv wrote in this thread:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=16659

Wings of Fire 02-20-2008 07:50 AM

Dark Cloud
Dark Chronicle
Star Ocean Till the End of Time
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts 2

Along with the FF's they are the best 5 RPGs on PS2 :)

I would also suggest these:

Project Zero trilogy
Silent Hill trilogy (Don't get 4 ;))
Guitar Hero trilogy
Ace Combat 5 (Best storyline outside an RPG)
Broken Sword series.

And thats all I can think of at the moment.

sam250 02-20-2008 07:56 AM

Brilliant, Wings of Fire, thats really useful :) I already have the Kingdom Hearts games (will update the list in a moment), but Star Ocean, Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle are going on the list, as well as Guitar Hero. I'm unsold on the others, but, again, If i find them cheap, i'll pick them up.

Yep, completed the Crash games, thanks anyway. Can't say that I'm really interested in any of Sonys new consoles- when the PS3 comes down in price (like, ALOT), I may yet one for FFXIII and MGS4, and the PSP has one or two titles i'm interested in (Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid), but I prefer my DS for any portable gaming.

Fuzzle King 02-20-2008 08:08 AM

yer im really a microsoft-man now.the psp is the only thing i have from sony.i downloaded the first crash to my psp and its pretty good.
the 360 is the way forward! sorry bit off-topic.
a little known game which i loved called tombi was pretty good i thought.VERY RARE now tho.

sam250 02-20-2008 10:29 AM

Oh, Tombi! Maybe i'm thinking of a differant game, but i've just watched some gameplay footage and I think its a game that a friends of mine used to have. Yeah, I remember really enjoying it. I must have been about 6...

Anyways, any other games you guys can reccomend? Also, which is the best Guitar Hero, as I imagine that I will only be purchasing one of them?

Strike Witch 02-20-2008 12:11 PM

Grandia, Unholy War, Front Mission 3, and Ghost In The Shell.

My top 4 best PSX games.

Leto 02-20-2008 10:23 PM

PS1

Skullmonkeys
Heart of Darkness
Unholy War
Poy Poy

PS2

TIMESPLITTERS
Monkey Island 4

er, I swear there has to be more...

sam250 02-21-2008 02:22 AM

Okay, I've got quite alot to be going on with there, but If there are any real must haves that I've just managed to overlook but really deserve a playthrough (eg. God of War, Ico), continue to post them.

Added Grandia and Timesplitters.

Fuzzle King 02-21-2008 04:34 AM

the original tomb raiders were good.
also i had predator concrete jungle on ps2 and loved that.

Strike Witch 02-21-2008 10:55 AM

Front Mission 3 is a great PS1 RPG by Square. It's got a deeper story then most FF games and it's really long, plus it's replayable.

I'd reccomend it.

sam250 02-21-2008 11:55 AM

Okay, fair enough, Front Mission can go up- I've actually wanted to play it for awhile now, ever since I learned it was made by those RPG gods, Square Enix.

AlienMagi 02-21-2008 12:26 PM

I love god of war and shadow of the colossus

4mrleesssssill 02-22-2008 03:09 AM

Yes, SotC is a truley epic game- its why I'm going to play Ico (the spiritual prequal to SotC) as soon as I can find it.

Rupture Farms 02-26-2008 08:01 PM

PS2 (in no particular order):

Tekken Tag Tournament
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

PS1 (again, in no particular order):

Medievil
Tekken 3
Abe's Oddysee
Abe's Exoddus
Crash 3: Warped
Crash Bandicoot
Crash 2

Mac Sirloin 02-27-2008 01:25 PM

Someone should add talladega nights to their PS3 completion list.

sam250 03-17-2008 12:58 PM

Sorry for not updating in a while guys.

Found Metal Gear Solid (which should absolutly be on my list, just a bit of an oversight) in a charity shop the other day for pennys, and I couldn't belive my luck. I couldn't belive my lack of luck when I put it in my playstation and found that it was an NTSC disk (I have a PAL Playstation).

Thanks for the games Rupture Farms; some of them I have already played, and some of them I'm just not interested in, but I will pick up Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is I see it cheap. One question about Jak; is it worth it if I have played the third one, but not the previous 2, seeing as the third one was widley considered the best in the series. I don't usually miss games in a franchise like that, but I got Jak 3 as a Christmas pressie.

Anyway, I'm also going to add Soul Caliber 3 to the list.

I may well be asking for XBox and Gamecube completion lists in the future (I like to try everything). Seeing as I have a Wii now, GC is easy, and I want to play the two Oddworld games on the XBox at some point.

EDIT: Oh, crap, can't edit the top post anymore. Will write a new list in a mo.

Mac Sirloin 03-17-2008 01:01 PM

Play Tiny Tank. Tiny Tank is a fucking awesome game.

Salamander 03-17-2008 11:34 PM

PS1:
Heart Of Darkness.
Ghost In The Shell.
Tombi (Very rare, would be expensive if you could find it).
Dragon Valor (A little Hack 'n' Slash but still very good).
Jade Cocoon (The original mind you, 2 was a disappointment).
Ape Escape.
Silent Hill (Only if you like horror/puzzle games).
Resident Evil 2 (Same reason as Silent Hill).
Star Ocean the second story.
Medieval.

PS2:
Time Splitters 2.
Guitar Hero Series (3rd is the best).

You must try Dark Cloud or Dark Chronicle before you buy them, I found the games to be extremely repetitive, I gave up on Dark Cloud when I discovered the second area of the game was almost exactly the same as the first, only harder.

Strangely enough I can't think of many PS2 games. I'll add more if I can think of any.

sam250 03-18-2008 05:12 AM

PS2:
God of War
God of War II
Odin Sphere
Final Fantasy X-2
Ico
Dragon Quest 8
Guitar Hero
Dark Cloud
Dark Chronicle
Star Ocean
Soul Caliber 2
Timesplitters

PS1:
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Metal Gear Solid
Castlevania: Sympathy of the Night
Heart of Darkness
Breath of Fire 4
Grandia
Front Mission 3
Chrono Cross


Salamander: Used to love Jade Cocoon (mainly first one, but I also spent more hours then I care to admit on the second) as a kid, and Dragon Valor was pretty damned good too. Nice to see there are some that appreciate these lesser known games :)

Hobo 03-18-2008 05:24 PM

I played Jade Cacoon 1! Loved that for about a month.

Strike Witch 03-19-2008 02:55 AM

I finished the first one but the disc glitched out and I never saw the end cutscene.


Fucking game.

Salamander 03-22-2008 08:05 PM

Dude, you have to get Croc (I believe it has a title, but I'm not sure what it is), the original mind you. Sure, Croc may be a bit of a child's game, but it is still a great game.

Wings of Fire 03-22-2008 08:21 PM

Croc, Legend of the Gobbos I believe.

Croc 2 is also awesome =D.

Strike Witch 03-28-2008 02:17 PM

Oh hay, I remember that.

Those gobbo dudes were a bunch of PANSIES.
