I kinda almost sorta finished my PS2 collection today!

[J0e Musashi]

I just literally took delivery of a Korean Odin Sphere, which has (apart from KOF '98 on pre-order) completed my PS2 collection.

They're all first print standard edition JPN titles, with the exception of Okami and Odin Sphere. I have both JPN and Korean versions of these two games. I've swapped out the original cases for 2-disc ones, which now hold both the JPN and the Korean disc, but have the JPN insert and manual.

MGS3 is also non-standard in that it is the boxed set.

Anyway, here's my 22 games:

1. Biohazard 4
2. Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
3. Final Fantasy X: International
4. God Hand
5. Hyper Street Fighter 2: The Anniversary Edition
6. Ico
7. Killer 7
8. King Of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match (on pre-order at P-A)
9. Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
10. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence boxed set
11. Metal Slug Complete
12. Odin Sphere
13. Okami
14. Outrun 2: SP
15. R-Type Final
16. Rez
17. Shin Onimusha: Dawn Of Dreams
18. Silent Scope 2
19. Sky Gunner
20. Street Fighter III: Third Strike
21. Street Fighter Zero: Fighters Generation
22. Wanda to Kyozou (SOTC)

Some of them I searched for for absolutely ages, so I'm pleased that I finally have them all together at last. I do need to swap out R-Type Final though, it's currently an Asian version, and I want the proper JPN one, but it's a minor and I'll just wait until one comes along.

Thats pretty cool, but why those specific 22 games? I never bothered with a Euro or US PS2, still have an old Japanese launch one, so i only have Jap/Asian games too, although i don't have many of the ones on your list, just R-Type, SOTC, ICO and FFX. Do Okami and the Metal Gears have an English option?

[MattyD]

Ico's text and speech is all in moonspeak - all six lines of it. You can unlock real language subtitles but like I say there's very few lines so you could just look at a faq for that.

now you just need to actually play them!

[J0e Musashi]

Well, I've had many PS2 games over the years, but these are the titles that interest me most. I could play these games forever without getting bored of them.

FFX: International, MGS2, Okami, Odin Sphere, Shin Onimusha, and Silent Scope 2 all have English options. Well Okami is only in English as it's the Korean one, which is basically the USA game, but in NTSC/J format.

I've owned many of them before, and sold them and then had a terrible time trying to re-buy them again.

Now I just need to actually play them!

Doesn't the European version of ICO have more or is better or something or did I totally make that up?

[J0e Musashi]

That's SOTC, but the PAL one is exactly the same as the JPN one. The USA one isn't quite as good.

[MattyD]

RONG!

The PAL version of Ico has an extra secret room, containing an extra special secret weapon, and also an extra ending. Trufax!

[112]

Im suprised how there is no Winning Eleven in there or a silent hill, but thats a nice compact collection you have there! If ya hhad a hard drive big enough you could load them all on and never touch the games again! Ooooo now theres a thought!

The JPN Ico has the secret weapon too. I'm not sure about the ending though, as I've only played it once.

I have a HDD 112. It's the official Sony one though (see below), so I'm not sure that I can do that loading on of games that you speak of.

Doesn't the European version of ICO have more or is better or something or did I totally make that up?

I love the PAL versions of Ico and Colossus, the cardboard slipcases are lovely.

I believe that every copy of PAL Colossus was the cardboard box version unlike Ico where it switched, did the Japanese or Europe get them as well?

[J0e Musashi]

The JPN Ico is just in a standard case. SOTC comes in a clear case. Neither of them have cardboard sleeves though.

Why 22 games?

[J0e Musashi]

Why 22 games?

Because...

I've had many PS2 games over the years, but these are the titles that interest me most. I could play these games forever without getting bored of them.

Just happened to be 22 games.

[BeyondJumpFish]

Why FFX and not FFXII? I consider 12 miles better then 10...just taste though i guess.
