The best game for the ps2

The best game for PS2 in my opinion was MGS3, it's also one of the best PS3 games.

Oh yeah, as to why: huge replayability factor thanks to unlockables, great Cold War espionage story, loads of intricate gameplay mechanics such as the stamina bar which is replenished by eating (but eating certain things can poison you, make you ill or kill you), camouflage index, hold ups and CQC (allowing you to use people as human shields and interrogate them)... That list goes on. It's also got decent gunplay but is far better if you avoid it and the graphics (and possibly sound) were the best I've ever seen on the console. Five difficulty levels meant anyone could play it and have fun, too. Oh, and the crocodile cap.

Oops! Wasn't me but I didn't help! Still, if it enjoys a lengthy revival it's not so bad.
 
Just out of interest can anyone explain why they rate GT3 over GT4?

Road Trip. - and people who play this game would know why.

I just picked this up last week from PSN and absolutely played it to death, love it! Still have to go back and get a bunch of stamps, coins and deal with some mini games. Just picked up ChoroQ really cheap but doesn't look as much fun.
 
The leap forward from gt2 to gt3 was incredible. It was a very focused and tight game. I also think age, and with it experience, makes a more emotional bond with gt3. For me it is.

Also with the gtplanet photomode forums and the difference in release dates, gt4 had no surprises for me. So the "wow factor" was smaller.

Just my two cents.
 
Hard to choose just one, so in no particular order these are my picks.....

Gran Turismo 3
Metal Gear Solid 3
Klonoa 2
Rygar The Legendary Adventure (Forgotten gem before the God Of War series)
God Of War 1&2
ICO
Primal
Grandia II
Beyond Good & Evil
Burnout 3: Takedown
The Mark Of Kri & Rise of the Kasai (Brutal & stealth gameplay)
 
Off the top of my head:

GT4
GTA: VC
Ico
Okami
Timesplitters 2
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (flawed for sure but i'm a big TR fan)
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Road Trip Adventure (only got this recently from the PS Store - Awesome!)
 
Gran Turismo 4 by a mile, because Gran Turismo is the best game series on the playstation, and Gran Turismo 4 is the best in that series.
 
I'm only considering games I played, which is far from all of them.

GT3-4
Toca Race Driver 3
Enthusia
FIFA 07
Tourist Trophy
Moto GP4
Lego Star Wars II

More a list of games that I spent alot of time on really.
