There are a lot of PS2 games now on my shelf that I really hope to find time to play some day, to see if they're as good as everyone says. Of the games I actually have played, these are my top 5, in no particular order.
Katamari Damacy - I still have to come back to this one, and in fact this is the PS2 game I played most recently. It's one of those few games I can play exactly the same way as before and still get just as much enjoyment. Very "zen" gaming.
Burnout 3: Takedown - Pretty much everything that's good , but also the fact this is one of the few games I was ever in danger of suffocating from laughter while playing.
Frequency - Harmonix's first console game (of which Amplitude was the sequel), and the first step to proving the best rhythm and music games could be done right here in the good ol' U.S. Of course Harmonix and Red Octane proved that unequivocally with...
Guitar Hero - By itself, it's rather dated, limited, and obviously rough around the edges. But it begat the much more decent Guitar Hero II, the totally awesome Rock Band, and the pinnacle of all music games, Rock Band 3. If only for its legacy, GH definitely deserves a spot on my list.
ATV Off-Road Fury - The very first PS2 game I ever played, Christmas morning, thanks to a surprise from my brother. The later games in the series didn't really do much for me, but the first is still good for an occasional spin.
