Now, I need some good games for it (preferably with split-scren multiplayer). I got Simpsons Hit & Run, and I'm looking to pick up some other games as well. What are your recommendations?

------------------
Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.

Timesplitters 1 & 2 are awesome. Both have map editing capabilities, as well. IMO they're one of the best split-screen FPS out.

NFS:U is good if you like car games.

My ps2 broke a long time ago, so I'm not so up-to-date on more current games.

I'm glad Drk mentioned Ace Combat 04. One of my favs!

Most of the others were mentioned, but I'll mention Onimusha 1-3 and the new 007 Game.

------------------
TDiR: The Destruction is Real

The only split-screen multiplayer PS2 game I play is Gran Turismo 3, which is well worth the Platinum price if you like driving games.

Apart from that:

Prince of Persia if you like 3D platform games
FIFA 2003 if you're a sports fan
Metal Gear Solid 2 if you like the whole stealth / combat thing
Soul Calibur 2 if you like fighting games
LotR: Return of the King is great if you like Lord of the Rings and have a friend to play it with

Gran Turismo 3.

The reason I have a PS2.

I second what everyone has said so far plus Prince of Perisa 3d



------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Devil May Cry is great, not too sure about the sequel though.

Fifa 2004 > Fifa 2003.

Timesplitters 1&2 and Burnout 1&2 are the only games you need to buy.
Best. Games. Ever.

Timesplitters 1&2
Soul Caliber II

Silent Hill 3

I seconded all the TIme Splitters 2's

Dude you just HAVE to get Time Splitters 2!

No way! The off-the-ball plays suck, and the game is considerably slower than 2003. Updated rosters are nice, though... Damn you PS2!

Fixed

I'd also recommend

007: Nightfire for 4 player deathmatch
007: Everything or Nothing for co-op
S.W.A.T. for co-op
Half-Life (rent it) for co-op

Jedi Starfighter has split screen. And its pretty good. And I second all the others said.

"i can get my beast going as hard as it will go, but when i go to play my games it cant handle all the action." -scared little monkey talking about his computer

Pretty much what everyone else said (barring Timesplitters -_-) and Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven. The Dark Alliance games are great fun the first few times round, especially on Co-Op, but I didn't find much in the way of replayability (secret characters were nice though).

My favorite games on PS2:

GT3
Timesplitters 2
GTA:VC
Burnout 1 & 2 (soon to be 3)
NFS:U
NFS:HP2

------------------
He who passeth in shall passeth out.

The Tenshu games are all excellent. Final Fantasies (all of them) are ESSENTIAL. Soul Calibur is great for multiplayer fighting. Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid 2 cover the action/stealth bases. I myself plan to pick up TimeSplitters 2 at some point. Return of the King for sure if you are a Lord of the Rings fan.

what annopys me most about the PS2 is how very few FPS games support USB keyboard and mouse... i know of 2 HL and UT

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Unless a FPS is a console exclusive, I would usually reccomend getting it for a PC because of its moding capabilities.

Everyone pretty much mentioned the games I would reccomend. If you want a really good sim soccer game, I heard the Winning Eleven series is the best (super tough to score goals).

Gitaroo Man. Trust me on this one. It's originally Japanese (translated into English, of course), a little quirky, but a total blast to play.

The purpose of it is to use the analog sticks and the other buttons to control a...get this...electric guitar! The music is superb, and being able to mimic it in the game, is total fun. The split-screen play can be a bit unbalanced, but it's still fun to pwn your friends.

Definetely check this game out, it's a gem.

There is no signature

+1 for guitaroo man... really cool weird game... good luck finding it...

and i can't believe i have not mentioned these... the guilty gear games... also good luck finding them...

you will have toruble finding a store that has them most likely... ebay will be an easy place to find copies
