In other words... Which was the best series to come out on the PS2??If ur option is not on the list then pls specify..
Mine would be God Of War closely followed by MGS..
God Of War truly defines what PS2 is capable of and is easily one of the best games to be released not only on the PS2 but on any console..
M only talking bout the series exclusive to the PS2 and may be later ported to the PC..

God Of War series, but I'll have to say that Grand Theft Auto series is one of the best on the Playstation2.

I am definitely gonna have to go with the Final Fantasy series (do not really think Kingdom Hearts should be included with Final Fantasy, not nearly as good). That was one of Sony's best decision ever to make a deal with Squaresoft to be able to get the Final Fantasy games.

I personally say it would have to be the God Of War series, but like the first post, my answer is closely tied to the MGS series, which is great btw.

What's wrong with you people? God of War has more votes than FF&KH and MGS.

How could GTA define the PS2 when their on PC, and Xbox?

Final Fantasy X for me. JRPGs are the only reason I own a PS2.

Scratch that, I ment Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series. IMO they're not nearly the best PS2 JRPG series, but definately DEFINE the PS2. The best would have to be either Shadow Hearts or Shin Megami Tensei (I'm leaning more towards Shin Megami Tensei)

When I think of PS2 I think of Kingdom Hearts 1 and Final Fantasy X

I don't know but MGS2 make me buy my PS2OtakuRay

same here

and PS2 is mostly defined by the games that were released in 2001...

Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy X, Devil May Cry, Gran Turismo 3, Grand Theft Auto 3, Soul Reaver 2, Silent Hill 2, Zone of Enders and more

why ? because even before PS2's release these games made the impact with their trailers and with their success when they are released, PS2 started to become legend

If there's to be a series that defines the PS2, it should be one that exists or one that at least was first released for the PS2. Considering that, I would say God of War. GTA and FF series exists for almos every console and PC, so for me, that doesn't count.

TC you left out the Gran Turismo series. I am not that big of a GT fan but for some reason every time I think of the Playstation brand, GT keeps coming up in my head.

I think the game that made me bow down before PS2 graphically was FFX, simply because it was the first game I was ever shown on the console. At the time I had no intention of ever owning my own, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around the lighting effects that game used.. it's still pretty spectacular. Even if the characters seem blocky now.

I have Metal Gear Solid:The Twin Snakes (MGS1 Remake) for Gamecube and Metal Gear Solid 2:Substance for XBOX. Shouldn't MGS series be disqualified under your rules as it was not exclusive?

It has to be the MGS + GT + GTA + FF series!

Other series that enhanced the definition of the ps2 would be...Tekken, DMC, GoW, and Square's RPGs.

You're right. And the fact that MGS2:Substance was the only PS2 MGS that was ported over pretty much says it all. I think it hit XBOX a full year after PS2.

yup..And also the fact that the port was not as good as the original makes MGS exclsively exclusive to PS2

the games that define the PS2 's era are DMC, MGS, & GOW. all of those titles up the ante in terms of what the PS2 was able to do
