I can't believe Gran Turismo hasn't been mentioned yet.... GT1-4 FTW, GTA III-SA, SSX, Hitman 2, Final Fantasy Series.

I think that is hard. Despite how much people bash the Ps2 in terms of its graphics ...it seriously has a huge library of absolute gems...

I don't think there is any absolute list for the top 10 Ps2 games because there are literally....THAT many "TOP" games for the system that is comes down to the styles of play the user may love.

for my tastes I'm heavy on RPGs soooo:

FFX (I was playing it the other day...for those who diss on Ps2 graphics this game is absolutely freaking incredible in the detail and textures)
Lunar 3
Tekken Tag
Katamari Damacy
MGS2 (again...graphics are incredible to me)
Gt4
KingDom HEarts...although I haven't played it but I know everyone loves this game
Amplitude

btw this is just as i thought of them...I could probably add tons more...

Whats good about Katamari? Just wondering because I seen some footage on it and it looks a little odd? Maybe it's something you just have to try to understand?

I agree with your Need for Speed version. Where's God of War?

It's just a very good game, original, refreshing and fun. Rent/buy it and enjoy.

No order:

Resident Evil 4 (assuming you have no GC)
Kingdom Hearts (the first one)
Final Fantasy X (not even close to the best FF title, but it's still good)
Dragon Quest VIII
Shadow of the Colossus
SSX3 (something to break up all these adventure and RPG games)
Ratchet and Clank (pick the 2nd or 3rd in the series)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (my favorite GTA, nostalgia for the PC/PS1 original aside)
Katamari Damacy
God of War

Gonna have to try Katamari and a few others on here. I've played several though(God Of War,Metal Gear,FFX,ect). I think I am gonna try some platform games which I haven't played much of on the PS2. Whats the best 3-5?

Ratchet and Clank. Jax. I'm drawing a blank. I really loved Ratchet and Clank though.

Which one? All 3?

If I started with part 2(guessing its going commando) would I be lost as far as the story if I skip the first?

I only played the first one, I think you might want to start with the 3rd one actually unless you're planning to play all 3. I don't believe story matters much, each one just has improvements to the weapon system.
