Being stuffed with new years money, time has come for a new game.

Im currently interested in buying a PS2 game in the RPG, adventure and probably mostly platform genre. On a sidenote, I live in Europe so some games aren't released here yet unfortunately Sad. I have quit with buying Jak and daxter games, since after the (terrific) first game, it went downhill unfortunately. And the same goes for Ratchet and Clank. I also never liked Prince of Persia, and wanted to try Xenosaga II but its not available around here =(

Does anybody have suggestions? Thanks =)
final fantasy, dark cloud 2, kingdom hearts
Well, I have FFX (grand game) and FFX-2 (junk game XD), I also have kingdom hearts 1, the second isn't released her until spring so. I might try dark cloud, is it any good?
I've heard Dark Cloud sucks major suckages while Dark Cloud 2 is awesome. So get the 2nd one, not the first. They aren't related (as far as I know) so you'll be fine.

If you like SRPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics:
- Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
- Makai Kingdom
- Atelir Iris

JRPGs
- Dragon Quest VIII (supposedly great)
- Xenosaga (cut scenes over half an hour long...)
- Star Ocean (real time battle system)

Platformers
- Sly Cooper

Other
- Shadow of the Collosus
- Resident Evil 4
- Killer 7
- Grand Theft Auto Trilogy
I doubt they have Resident Evil 4 yet. Could be mistaken.

Side note... I liked Dark Cloud. It was mildly entertaining. Never played Dark Cloud 2 though. It looked better but Dark Cloud wasn't a horrible game.

I really want to play xenosaga, but Its US and Japan only, and If I buy Xenosaga 2, I'm affraid I can't keep up with the story =(. Well I have GTA San andreas and vice city too, and am not a real fan. Resident evil isn't out yet here, otherwise it would have been an option though, since the last RE I played and have is Code veronica X, and I loved that game. Dragon quest, heard of it. Is it available for PS2? And sly cooper, played the demo, wasn't really impressed. If I can find dark cloud 2, I think I'll give it a chance Happy
I you love horror games like RE I hear that Silent Hill is fun in a disturbing type of way Wink DQVIII is being called the best RPG this year. It's on PS2. It's like FF in that it has nothing to do with previous games in the series. Art is done by Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball.

Alright ill try to find DQVIII thanks for the help, it is really appreciated =).
Don't listen to Firestorm about FFtactics. Get Tactics Ogre, because of all the FF fanboys, FF tacktics became more popular. Tactics Ogre: The knight of Lodis is a great GBA game.
I prefer final fantasy tactics advance Toungue
eew ffta sucked ._.

DC2 is an awesome game though...
