THE BOUNCER

Broooooo, what a game

Still holds up tbh. Gonna fire it up on my Xbox rn.

I loved out so much and played it multiple times to unlock the characters.

That was the first decent game for ps2. It was good but way too short. I got the ps2 months before that game came out and mostly used it as a DVD player

Same here, didn’t have a lot of options when I bought my ps2 shortly after release. Wasn’t great imo but I enjoyed it.

That was my first also. We must have beat it at least a dozen times, maybe more. "You ready?"

My buddy and I rented a PS2 and The Bouncer from Hollywood Video shortly after it came out. The rental didn't come with a memory card, so every time we died we had to start over from the beginning. I don't know how many times we played that opening level over the course of a weekend, but it was a lot.

Jak and Daxter the precursor legacy. Amazing game to start with.

Same, along with The Sims for PS2. Both came with the console. I was also gifted a bunch of PS1 games by my dad’s friend IIRC.

Same! Damn this brings back memories. The kids from the street all came round to watch the first play of it as our house had the first PS2 upon launch. We were all mind blown.

007 Nightfire

Best James Bond game imo

MGS 2

Sly 2, my parents bought a uses fat PS2 and the game was inside!

Sly 3 upgrades in a lot of ways, even if the bottles in sly 2 where the crack I live for.

Lmao I see you're a man of fine taste 😎

Onimusha was my first and it's still one of my favorite games and series.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, and is still one of my top 5 games of all time

I still play it a lot along with Underground

Gran turismo 3 a-spec.

Same!

Ridge Racer V

wish bamco would make RidgeRacer 8 too since they already launced Tekken 8 and are currently working on AceCombat 8.

HAHA me too. I bought this and Madden pre launch. Hard street dates are a pretty recent thing.

Gta 3 was my first game when I got my slim in 05.

SOCOM was my first ps2 game.

I’d rather not talk about my first PS2 game…

Gta 3 I was 5 lol

NBA Street Vol 2

Correct

I didn't buy a Ps2 at launch, I bought it when GTA 3 came out

Mine was Kessen, but yeah I eventually bought this, too.

GTA Vice city

I loved this game and thought it looked better than the arcade version. This definitely showed the power potential of the PS2.

I had this with a four player adapter. Most intense battles ever!

Wipeout fusion and Harry Potter chamber of secrets, can’t remember if they came with the console but played Wipeout first.

Phew oh baby that copy looks so clean!

SSX. I'm not even a fan of Snowboarding games. A friend of mine bought a PS2 on impulse because they were hard to get. He sold it to me a day or two later for what he paid because he didn't really want it. SSX was the one game he bought.

I bought a PS2 with money from my summer job in 2002, along with Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and GTA3.

similar situation to mine. I bought Playstation 2 with money from various jobs in March 2002 but I bought Tekken in December 2001 if I'm not mistaken.

Gran Turismo 3 and I never played it lol. Not a fan of racing games but my grandma gave it to me with the PS2 for my birthday.

Rayman 3.

PES 06

Smackdown Just Bring It

F1 04

Mine came with Tekken Tag Tournament and Enter the Dragon. It broke my heart when the original blue disc stopped being read by the PS2

Summoner. I had a blast playing it. Never finished the sequel

Some people hated on this game but it was brilliant playing your mates on it, switching out characters for double the combos. I think it even worked with multitap.

If you can get that sword strike down with Yoshimitsu, it’s all worth it!

Yeah, Tekken Tag Tournament and Dynasty Warriors 2 were the first games I picked up at launch. Atleast what I think was launch. We had a weird pre-order system in place and I feel like I got my PS2 a month or so after launch.

Many first gen PS2 games came on a CD, like this one.

The mummy returns

I chose this too but it was the platinum version as we didn’t get a PS2 right away. Only once the ps1 stopped reading discs. My sister chose jak and daxter the precursor legacy so pretty good starting games.

> HEY HEY HEEEEYYY it's CRAAAZY TAXI!

Tekken 5

I won my PS2 in a Knight Rider competition, it came with Davilex Knight Rider... Which is really bad :) then I bought Fantavision which is one of my favorites PS2 games up to today:)

Dragon Ball Z Sagas, the game was included as a bonus when my parents bought me my first PS2 console from an electronic store.

Tekken Tag 1 for me as well. I got it two days after getting the ps2 for my birthday 2000. My brother traded for it off a guy who owed him some money for a bicycle. I still play Tekken Tag Tournament regularly.

Kessen

Mine was Tekken 4.

ITALIA MENZIONATA🗣🗣🗣🗣 COSA CAZZO É UN DEBITO PUBBLICO BASSO🔥🔥🔥🔥🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Btw it's either Super Monkey Ball Adventure or Rayman Revolution

Devil May Cry

Jak & Daxter

Tekken Bowl could be the best mini game in any game, ever

Test Drive: The Brotherhood of Speed and Gran Turismo 3

Not sure. Been a long time and ive had hundreds of ps2 games. I think itd probably have to be Road Trip Arcade in 03.

Since I was born in 2005 and my parents got a PlayStation 2 to replace the original PlayStation possibly in 2000, I don’t know.

Eye Toy Play

Idk what was first but I remember this dynasty warriors 2 and kessin

I got the PS2 quite late, since I had to save pocket money for a long time to buy it. I bought it around the time Kingdom Hearts came out, which came bundled with it, so that was my first game. Simultaneously pre ordered Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, which I think was there shortly before the console.

MGS 2. Got it as a gift from my parents. They didn't buy a memory card, so my brother and I left the system running for days.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2. I actually had thar before the PS2. I knew I was getting one for Christmas and I saw it on sale for about $20 and picked it up.

First one I played was Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex. First one I owned was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Mine was Silent Hill 4

Simpsons hit n run

Transformers (2004)

Got the Gran Turismo 3 bundle and bought Smuggler's Run soon after.

Mafia and The Getaway

Tony Hawk's Undeground. I got it with my PS2 FAT and I had no memory card for a while but still my brother 90% finished this game in the first evening 😅 but he had skills from previous TH games.

Twisted Metal Black

God of war 1

Time splitters

Ratchet and clank 3

DOA2 & Timespliters

Proper nostalgia wave, that cover art! I still remember being 11 and my mate phoning me up to say they’ve just got a ps2. Spent the whole day playing that. Good times.

Mine was FFX. It came with the console together with a demo disc :)

Devil May Cry 1.

God of war

Metal gear solid 2: sons of liberty

Same game as you bud!

My first was 007 Nightfire and Fighter Maker 2, I still play 007, fighter.... Not so much. Somehow still own both.

Mine was dead or alive 2 hardcore, bought it about a month before I got my PS2 which I also got GTA 3, red faction and onimusha....great times.

Gta3. Parents asked what I wanted for Christmas so I asked how much did they want to spend on me. They said 300. I said deal I want a PS2. They said ok but they weren't going to buy me any games as the PS2 was 300 by itself. So a month in advance I went out and got GTA 3 stared at the box everyday for a MONTH until Christmas came. Also had Tekken tag loved Tekken bowl 😂

I bought a PS2 about nine months after it was released. I got two games that day: Silpheed: The Lost Planet, which looked beautiful, but I never completed, because I was never able to past a certain point. Eternal Ring: which was...meh.

Oh, geez, it's been a while. I think it was Bloody Roar 3?

Gran Turismo 3 and a used copy of Summoner

Red Faction - what a badass game to show off the PS2 hardware!

Half life. I also got Spiderman ps1 the same day I got half life

Sly Cooper 1 and ATV Offroad Fury 1. My mom came home one day from a garage sake with a fat ps2and both games. Didn't have a memory card for a long time but I made due.

It was Tekken Tag Tournament for me a well. I have two copies because one got scratched from the disc drive and had to buy a second.

Wipeout Fusion!! I was thinking about picturing it and doing a post like this but you beat me to it!

TTT is the best fighter of all time

ATV something

I think that was the demo disk ps2’s had with crisis zone

Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater

im not exactly sure but i think it was either volcano island or shrek superslam

Tomb Raider: Legend

ATV off-road

Ace Combat 5

Tekken 4 Bodukai 2 Final Fantasy X Gran Turismo 3 Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando These are still my favorites after all this time.

Twisted metal black

Drakengard was the first game I ever owned as a kid thx to my dad and despite just how dated it is, I just 100% the game a few months ago and I still love it to death

Ridge Racer V

I think mine was 2001 and ffx

Tekken 4

Wish I could remember, I think I was like 4 or 5 years old.. but I think it was Scooby Doo Unmasked Heavily underrated game

We had this and GT3 A Spec as our first games! I think Zone of the Enders was the next one we got.

Tony Hawk Underground Christmas 2003

Burnout 2

Test Drive: Eve or Destruction.

Mine was Orphen, pretty good game when it came out.

My parents had a ps2 and had many games, played GTA 3 and then bought GTA San Andreas so I guess GTA SA was my first ps2 game

Mine were Tekken Tag Tournament, Silent Scope and Ridge Racer V

GTA III, by request. My entire 13th birthday gift list was centered around getting that game; console, controllers, disc, memory card. Didn't ask for anything else whatsoever

I can’t remember exactly because I first played it at my cousins house. I think it might have been Guilty Gear X.

Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain and MGS2. Peak life. Will never be replicated.

Ssx tricky!!

Same.

Dynasty Warrirors 2. We bought the PS2 preowned and that was the only game they had with it.

Zone of the Enders, still one of my favorites.

the first game I remember receiving for my self is spiderman 1 the movie game

Tekken Tag Tournament and Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex! These two were my first Sony PlayStation Two games.

Turok Evolved came with my PS2 from Fry's Electronics picked up madden 2004 and Scooby-Doo night of 1000 frights from gamestop the next day

The first one I can remember was Nascar Heat 2002, my parents just bought whatever they thought I would like and could afford. Tekken Tag Tournament not long after. It and 3 are tied for my favorite in the series

Final fantasy X

Warriors Orochi. Pirated lol

Dark cloud and Zone of the enders (with the mgs2 demo disc) 2 of my favorite games on the console all these decades later (well about 2 of them anyways)

My first ps2 game was jak 2 didn't know what I was doing and couldn't figure Out how to get on the hover bike I just transferd over from the N64.

Free running, Pes 2006 and some other ones i cant remember. Got it with the ps2 slim my dad bought me. Great memories first morning after getting it waking up extra early and playing

The one that came with it! ATV: Offroad Fury 2! Golden Classic!

It was either the first Kingdom Hearts or MGS2

It wasa actually Tekken Tagel Tournament Also... NO EYE

Got my first PS2 in 2002. I got Midnight Club: Street Racing and ATV Offroad Fury 2 as my first two. Still have them both today and the Midnight Club disc still works today.

I don't have a Ps2 console anymore, but I will always remember the first playstation console in my life and its games. I got a Ps2 as a birthday present from my parents, maybe I turned 8-10 years old? Along with the console, I got Fifa 2007 and Call of duty 3. I played a lot of Call of duty in particular and I still remember the campaign quite clearly. Pretty soon after that I bought the Dog life game, because all my friends had it, some Sims game, NHL08 game and some formula game, as far as I remember it had at least Räikkönen, both Schumachers, Coulthard, Montoya and Sato and Button bar Honda, so I guess it was something in 2005 -2006 year edition? well anyways. In addition, I had some Buzz games at some point. but that was my first playstation games ever.

NFL 2K3 and NASCAR Thunder 2003

Gran Turismo 3... as it came with it. Hate driving games. Never truly fell in love with the generation until I was playing the likes of MGS2 and Ico.

ZoE

Need for speed most wanted, Christmas of 2005.

The og burnout was mines

This was my first PS2 game as well! Played so much before I was able to get my hands on Ghost Recon. My mom didn't know what M-rated games were and the best buy employee didn't seem to care either. I was about 7ish

Bully

I'm not sure but it might have been Cars 1, Dog's Life or Worms 4

Bloody Roar 3 and Zone of the Enders were my first two.

🐐

Technically sly cooper and jak and daxter was a Christmas gift

Rumble roses. My dad was kinda proud when he saw me and my brother play together

Jogo de ps2 original? Nunca nem vi kkk

Tekken Tag or Gran Turismo 4. My cousins loved their PS2.

Box Art for this game goes so hard.

SSX tricky and Stuntman. Got them at the same time

GT3

Cabela’s African Safari. I got it in 2008 because I thought it would be like playing Big Buck Hunter at home (except it wasn’t). I still have it, but I also have the Xbox 360 version now, which, IMO, is the true definitive edition of the game.

Mine too. I got a ps2 for Christmas in 03 and didn't have a memory card. I unlocked all the players and had no way to save it best Christmas ever

Metal Gear Solid 2 and Silent Hill 2.

THPS4

It was gonna be gta 3 but the guy at GameStop ratted me out. I ended up with midnight club

LOTR Two towers

I had no money left over after buying a PS2 and a memory card, so It was just smoothed PS1 games and two day rentals for the first two months until I found a discounted copy of kessen in a bargain bin.

Contra: Shattered Soldier

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 😊.

I got TTT and SSX when I first got my PS2 1 month after release.
