Yes that right. I am probably the ONLY person in the world that never owned a Playstation 2. I skipped 6th gen and bought a Wii this gen. I was gonna get a DSi but I already got a free DS so I thought I might as well buy this damn system that I missed.

I know all the really big games. (DMC,MGS,etc) But Im more of a niche gamer. I dont like all that S-E crap or FPS.

So what are some niche games that are awesome on PS2 that alot of people might not know about.
I bought Xenosaga Episode I for $6 :D

List

• Shadow Hearts
• Rez
• Gitaroo Man
• Growlanser generations
• Tales of Abyss
• OdinSphere
• GrimGrimoire
• Shin Megam Tensei (Any I know...)
• A GUST game.
• Gungrave
• Psychonauts

I will not buy:

Square-Enix Games (FF,DQ,VP, etc) I dont like them. I will borrow KH though. Look interesting.
Team ICO Games. (Don't interest me.)
Nothing with random battles. (Suikoden included)
No FPS

Growlanser generations by working designs, its one of the best SRPGS ever IMHO

...hmm perhaps Shadow Hearts, Persona 3FES and Disgaea?

Get out.

Got it on the DS.

Will check out Shadow Hearts. Ive been wanting Persona FES for a looooooong time.

I didn't own a Playstation 2. I bought a Gamecube.

If you're into JRPGs (even when you don't like SE):

-Atlus: Persona 3, Persona 4, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
-SCE/Level-5: Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Rogue Galaxy
-Nippon Ichi: Disgaea, Disgaea 2 (SRPG)
-Namco-Bandai: Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Rebirth, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss, Xenosaga I-II-III (they're the spiritual successors of Xenogears)
-Capcom: Megaman X Command Mission, Monster Hunter (although i like the best version on the PSP)...
-Konami: Suikoden III, IV, V

Good call on trying Kingdom Hearts, if you like it, try the 2nd one as well...

nice input there buddy.

Metal Gear Solid 2+3.
God of War 1+2
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

niche games.
