Title: Arcade controllable PS2 games?
Post by: Dripht on August 09, 2004, 02:36:42 pm

I'm thinking about putting a ps2 in my cabinet, but im worried if there will be enough playable games to warrant the purchase/effort. I'm not gonna bother worrying about the analog sticks, so im hoping you guys can list me some games I should try that are completely playable using the digital pad. Thanks.

There's a ton to list, but I'll hit some highlights.

Fighters: VF4, SC2, Tekken tag & 4, KOF doublepack, Guilty Gear X & XX
Shooters: R-type Final, Gradius 3, 4, &5(when it's out)

I'd like to add: Contra Shattered Soldier, and Silpheed

Don't forget lightgun games: Vampire Night, and Time Crisis series...

Sadly, no.  Ikaruga is out on Gamecube, but not PS2 (At least stateside)

Well, took me a week or so, but I think I got every game listed so far, believe it or not. I'm loving Guilty Gear XX  ;D . Everyone else likes Soul Calibur 2 more though, since it's more of a button masher. R-Type has always been a fav of mine, but I'm a bit disappointed that Final doesn't have an 'Arcade' type mode.

Thanks for the help. Any more suggestions?
