Ok well, I had a PS2 but for some reason I didn't get into it as much as I would have liked.  Now I have a PS3 and I'm waiting for some good games to come out for that, but in the meantime I would like to rent some games to hold me over.

So I would like to know some excellent games that are worth renting.  Now this means that I could beat them within a few hours or so.  Here is what I would like to check out:

Devil May Cry
Resident Evil 4
Prince of Persia (not sure which one)

Are these games beatable within a few days?  Any other suggestions would be nice as well. thanks.

DMC and RE4 are doable in a few days. Ive never played PoP so i wouldnt know about them.

I also recommend God of War...and thats all i can think of really. All the other games i own are like 50 hour+ games:P

Maybe I should change my topic a bit here.

Some of these games, I realized, I can buy for really cheap.  So maybe I'll just buy some good cheap classics and not have to worry about the game length.

yeah that's actually one of the few games I have played and I loved it.  I think I am going to rebuy it though because it's like 3 bucks now.

Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter are some great platformers. They don't take a whole lot of time as long as you don't want 100% completion.

Bully would be a good game to rent and you'd get the feel for the game and you could beat the game in a rental's time (minus the side missions)

RE4 is beatable in under a few days if you go hard.  Depends how much time you have to spare.

The top games I'd recommend people rent are God of War 1 + 2.  Those are beatable in a few days, so unless your a collector, these should be rented, not bought.

According to these boards the holy grails are DMC, GoW, MGS, God Hand, and RE4. I would avoid those like the plague though. Click ony my name and goto my blogs and check out my ps2 list of games for non lemming answers.

I would say buy RE4 because its about 20hrs long and has great replay value. Havent played any of the PoP games so unsure, but DMCcould be doable in a few days.

Except that it is the price of a rental (well, $7 is close) at GameStop.

If you're looking for cheap games, then get Final Fantasy X and X-2. I think they're both Platinum.

If you are looking for a quick game try the bouncer. take you about 10 hours to beat and there are 3 stories to follow..so about 30 hours. other than that most of what everyone else said is good
