PS2 is good.

Dragon Quest VIII is amazing.
Shadow of Rome is a lesser known Capcom masterpiece (imo) that everyone with a PS2 should own.
Black is a great indicator of the direction FPS games were moving at the time.
Star Ocean: Til the End of Time is too long. But still good.
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is poo poo, but is also my favorite game of all time.
SOCOM II still has an active online player base (I poo poo you not).
Silent Hill II is still scary as gently caress.

Shadow of Rome is insanely legit even if the stealth parts were some of the most awkwardly implemented broken trash i've ever seen. The gladiator fights were all well done and visceral with more depth than it seems at first (still really love the whole crowd system and knowing when to appeal to them). The ending sequence was insane and I loved it, very overlooked.

the PS2 probably has the largest selection of remastered greats of any console

Ico & Shadow of the Colossus
Devil May Cry 1 & 3
Jak & Daxter series
Rachet & Clank series
Sly Cooper series
Zone of Enders 1 & 2
Kingdom Hearts series
God of War series (this one's not very good actually)

but it still has the best version of Silent Hill 2 since the remake was trash and the PC version is an incomplete buggy mess

Burnout 3 is the best one, that's why. You god drat idiot.

I convinced my friend in high school to give me her PS2 only to play Shadow of the Colossus and I never finished it or gave the PS2 back. Ultimately I left the PS2 on the side of the curb because I couldn't find the component cable.

Also Grand Turismo 4, if you want. The amount of available vehicles in that game is insane.

you can't judge a console by its worst games, on the poo poo that nobody of good character knew about or cared about or would buy.

if you like strategy RPGs, or Super Mario RPG style combat w/ timing minigames, then there's this title called Gladius which is pretty fun
