lots of action, little story. no rpgs. even things reminiscent of old arcade games are fine (ie, geometry wars). I want stuff that's easy to pick up and play and doesn't require huge globs of time and really has fun gameplay.
pretty much open to most genres. there are very, very few ps2 games I've played all in all.
random things I like to give you an idea of my taste:
- geometry wars. lurve it.
- the original doom. not the new one, but not for the reasons other people list; it's just not as hard on the action as I want my doom. 20 minutes of wandering around before I get to shoot anything? nothx
- tony hawk-esque things. I'm not a huge fan of tony hawk per se, but I did love it for a few reasons. namely: short games, fun gameplay, and the the high scores made it challenging enough to be fun ~ mostly referring to the old ones, haven't touched the new ones.
- raiden 3, ikaruga: arcade-esque, lots of action. prefer raiden 3 to ikaruga actually since I'm not so big on bullet hell when all you have to do is memorize the same patterns they do every single time.
any suggestions? ;-;; nothing has to be exactly like the above games, but just stuff with lots of action, little filler, and the ability to play it [and have it be enjoyable] in small chunks of gameplay.
I haven't played resident evil since 2. would 4 fit my profile, or is there a lot of story/filler when compared to the action? how does the wii version stack up to the ps2 one?
Yes Resi4 would be a good choose, there isn't anytime where you are just walking and not doing anything.
KATAMARI DAMACY.
Play it.
Now.
Dead or Alive 4? Mindless chicks with boob physics beating the hell out of each other is as close as you can get with this.
Star Wars Battlefront. Plenty of action, hardly any story. Fun with multiplayer.
(I haven't seen or played many PS2 games as I don't own a PS2)
Burnout series, Devil May Cry any GTA.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
A bit of story, yeah, but its just cutscenes, and I think you can skip them.
Puzzles in spots though, dunno if you care about that.

WINWINWINWINWIN Biohazard, that is singlehandedly the best damn thing you have ever said in my presence.
Caving?

...I liked the PS2 version, it had the extra content.
I really liked that version as well. No way I could've played it on Gamecube.
And now there is no way I can be your friend.
Ah, a loss, but alas I believe I shalt go on.

true, battlefront is good.
Mercenaries is fun. It has open-ended gameplay (like GTA with good-for-ps2 graphics set in north korea) with alot of destruction and explosions. the gameplay gets boring after many hours, but is fun for say...the criteria you posted.
megaman.

I forgot about mercenaries! How could I forget that?! especially the codes you can find in the Help section of the little handheld thingy he carries around...loved the portable air strike. and watching my friend pile infinite-ammo C4 on a baggage car (the pimp-mobile he calls it) and blasting it and trying to beat his time record for the time of detonation to the time of landing. Think his best was...fifteen minutes? Yeah he went on playing and fifteen minutes later it lands on a guy he's about to blow up with the portable air strike.

3 isnt out yet, Zypher has beaten the shit out of 1 and 2.
Ok, Zypher, Im going to recommend a heavy dosage of Megaman Legends, Katamari, and Magic Pengel/ Graffiti Kingdom.

oh man. My favorite, when im messing around, is to put on infinite health, pile C4 onto any fast car, and damage it alot. then, right before it explodes from damage, you get in it and drive. Get out and it keeps going, it explodes, and then if you time it right you can set off the C4 as well =D
hm.
I need to kinda a copy of Katamari. : /
yeah my friend beat that Russian barrel-rolling contest thing with C4., Know the contest where they have you roll a barrel by hitting it with your gun? He piled tones of C4 all around it and detonated it. He killed everyone around but rewon their respect almost fourfold with the distance he got. Then he razed the city with the portable air strike cuz he didn't feel like saving the game just then. :P =D
Know what else is fun in that game? Standing, with invincibility, in the misdt of every air strike and explosive thing you can get to go off at once. It was cool, my friend called every single satellite strike and aerial strike (scatter bomb and stuff) he could within a few seconds, and timed the detonation of the C4 pile at his feet just right...the screen was chaos for a while.
Okay, if this discussion isn't enough to make someone want to play mercenaries, what is?
Go buy Tomb Raider Anniversary/Legends. Lotsa action, little story :*
ps2, huh? I'm playing POP: The two thrones on pc, and i know my friends got it for the ps2.
Cuz he has one.
It's good, it's all fight-fight and a few puzzles. Try it out.

There is a story behind it........but, yeah, the PoP series is awesome.
I recommend:
- Katamri
- Fantavision
- GT4 (no story what so ever)
- TimeSplitters 2 (Little story, but it's like a remake of GoldenEye, only lots for stuff)
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, for the PS2. That is, if you like racing games.
Anything but Final Fantasy XII.
God of WAR!

fixed my bowls move fast than that game
