So, I'll admit I've never played a console game online in my entire life, and I'm kind of curious to try it out.
That's why I thought of getting a PS2 network adapter, since it's pretty cheap and since the online gaming is free (and I can't use Xbox Live anyway).
But I'm not sure which games I should and could try it out with. So does anyone have a list or a site with online games for PS2, or perhaps you could recommend me a good game or two?

I've tried Burnout Revenge and Amplitude online, myself. BOR is pretty fun, but can be pretty buggy at times, which can really sap the fun quickly.

Amplitude's just plain awesome if you even remotely like rythm games.

I've heard good things about Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Aresenal and Killzone, as well.

 

[bobbyconover]

Ratchet and Clank 3 is really great online, and I assume 4 is too though I haven't played it. You might want to try Frequency and/or Amplitude also, if you can find other people online to play with. They're definitely unique and fun in battle mode!

 

[VariableTerry]

I think the servers for frequency and amplitude were taken down.

I think the servers for frequency and amplitude were taken down.

I haven't tried Frequency online in a while, but I played Amplitude online with a friend just two days ago.

I haven't tried Frequency online in a while, but I played Amplitude online with a friend just two days ago.

Frequency's definitely gone. I remember it vividly, as it went down about three days before I finally got around to setting up my network adapter in order to finally try it online.

 

[Community Forum]

Interesting about FreQuency no longer online. This is kind of related... does anyone know if there are any Xbox Live games that are no longer online?

 

[Ranger X]

TOCA 2. Awesome online mode.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

Thanks for the list!

 

[Razoric]

SOCOM 3
Jak X Racing
Ratchet: Deadlocked
Killzone
Final Fantasy XI
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness
Mortal Kombat: Deception

and more!

 

[Teddman]

Only things I ever played were Hot Shots Golf Fore and R&C 3, but they were both fun... For a couple days until I got distracted by another game.

PSO Universe might heat up my neglected PS2 Network Adaptor next spring.

 

[Defensor]

Lock & Load with SOCOM 3.

"OUTGOING!"

 

[Kiriku]

Woo, thanks for the list and all the great suggestions! Keep 'em coming.
