I loved GODZILLA: SAVE THE EARTH. Now I know a lot of folks were a bit disappointed with that one but I was very happy especially once I learned how to use Gigan's buzzsaw belly. There's a variety of little games within that one too although the gameplay is perhaps a bit repetitive...depends on how cool you feel it is to be able to play the monsters...that's the appeal of it to me. Agree very much with the recommendation of MARVEL: ULTIMATE ALLIANCE. Great game. And they might be a bit cartoonish but I like the Spyro the Dragon games for PS2. And speaking of collections, I love the Atari one.

It's a PsOne game but it's great and will work on the console - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee.

I do have Abe's Oddysee around here somewhere for my good old PS1.  Had forgotten all about "Destroy All Humans," but I'll definitely look for that one.  Vaporizing crowds of hairless apes sounds like the perfect way to relax.

Jase, I believe that there is a newer Godzilla game called "Godzilla Unleashed" and the reviews for it have not been kind.  "Godzilla:  Save the Earth" has gotten a lot more love.

Gradius V has epic boss fights
Small | Large


It's only like twenty bucks too.
Next to R-Type Final and Dragon Quest 8, it wins my vote for best PS2 game.

I'd heard that the newest Godzilla game was one to avoid on the PS2.

I thought it was terrible. I bought it used and took it back the next day.

Oh yeah I'm a huge shmups fan.  Gradius V is a great game and I'm perplexed as to the somewhat mixed reviews that some gaming sites gave it.  The Gradius III/IV is pretty cool as well if you're into old school shoot-em-up type action.

Raiden III is a decent vertical shooter.

Most reviewers seemed to have really dug Gradius V though. The ratio of reviews on Game Rankings is 83% out of about 61 articles.
Anyway, yeah. The Gradius III/IV compilation was pretty cool too. The arcade version of Gradius III is a beast. It's difficulty was on par with R-Type II and Pulstar. In fact, I can't even make it beyond the third stage of the arcade version.
I was sort of disappointed with Raiden III; it wasn't bad game by any means, but compared to some of the other shmups to have come out out in the last ten years like G-Darius, Ikaruga, Thunder Force V, etc., Raiden III just doesn't stand a chance. It makes for a good rental though. Just would've wished that Raiden would have had more of a bang after twenty years of being silent. Hopefully Raiden IV will make up for it.

Well Ive been Sports gaming with my ps2 NHL 08 is fun once you get the controls down.
And I've been poking at Drakenguard. and........ I dunno its ok So far the best ps2 games are still those last big hits they put out in 2005 God of War, Resident Evil 4. I'm finding you cant go wrong with capcom. Some weird titles they put out like  God Hand ( good fighter and Killers 7 ( strange play, super cheap ) are fun. Silent Hill Origins a PSP game is being ported to ps2, and theres vice city stories another psp port. I have not had much luck with RPG's Ive been thinking of trying FF12 , closest fun i had was dragon quest but I didnt finish that ether became to goofy and repetitive.

System arrived, picked up a couple of games at GameStop, and I have to say that I love "Destroy All Humans 2."  I must have spent 2 hours just flinging tanks around, frying cops, and generally making an alien nuisance out of myself.  Then it was time to actually try doing some of the missions.

People on the street say some really funny things as you run by.  In some ways, it reminds me of the latest "Leisure Suit Larry" game.

Told ya! It's addictive and a serious time killer ... then again most game are.

Good for any age kid (even adults) another seriously stupid addictive time killer ... you just roll a ball to make it bigger and meet your size goal to progress, goofy and addictive.

Destroy All Humans, any good?

I wanted to get it but heard it was bad.  I'll check out prices tomorrow.

I picked it up far $5 and a local store ... it was worth $5. I haven't played either DAH I or II in while but there not top notch games but they don't completely suck either.

I have only played "Destroy All Humans 2."  The missions are fine, about par for the course for that sorts of thing.  However, I could spend hour just screwing with the civilians, cops, and military.  It's like "Rampage" in that manner.  There isn't any goal besides destruction.  You have to agree that it's funny when you shoot a few vehicles with the disc weapon and they go crashing down the street (the discs make whatever they hit fly through the air). 

Last night, I was laughing so hard that I cried.  I shot a VW microbus in the tail with a disc as I ran down the street.  It took off and flew "Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang" style for a few hundred feet, with the hippies jumping out two stories up in the air.  The flying microbus then landed flat on a crowd of people, before jumping into the air and crashing into a building.  One of the people it landed on did the flopping fish thing. 

It's  a blast when you have an APC, a tank, and a microbus all crashing up and down a steet (crushing civilians and troops).

I'd probably play it just to screw with the people.  That's what I do with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
