4 (almost made third). Unlimited SaGa - I know alot of people weren't really fond of this game, but I actually had a blast with it. At the time I was getting bored with alot of the same-old, same-old stuff and this was really nice. It kept me interested. Very different from most RPGs and it had 8 main characters and a really neat battle, and character growth system. I loved it.
3. Shadow of the Colossus - It was sort of short, but it was also awesome the entire time. The art style was good, the music was really good, and taking down a ton of humongous puzzle/boss combinations one after another was a total blast. Couldn't put it down, and played through it a good 5 times in my first two weeks of owning it.
2. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga - The story was fantastic, it was a fairly difficult RPG, and it almost punishes you for not giving characters roles in your party. I really liked the style they went with.
1. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - It had some stuff akin with my number 2 pick, but of course it would, they're both SMT. Nocturne was my favorite game for PS2, because it took an end-of-the-world approach in modern day, and actually made it pretty interesting. It was a pretty far shot from the norm of RPGs. Adding in the pokemon-esqe recruiting system, and the fact that there was multiple endings, and I had a game that I spent a ton of time playing. Going to be my favorite RPG of all time for a while, at least until another SMT game comes out.
