Default PS 2 - RPGs

Hi all,

Other than the usual suspect (Final Fantasy), can anyone reccomend a good RPG for the PS2. I've got Lord of the Rings Third Age and though its 'OK', its not the greatest RPG, certainly not along the lines of the classic D&D RPGS, Eye of the Beholder etc.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Also any decent 'Big Robot' games for PS 2?

Cheers.

they only big robot games i can think of is the Armoured Core series, although i was told Battle Engine Aquilla has big robots but i've never been able to find a copy. with regards to Rpg's Ys have a series around , it depends on what type of Rpg you want things like Grandia and Dark Cloud 1 & 2 are good, for more indepth stuff you looking at games like D&D. I will have a dig around..

Yeah, I'm looking for something a bit more detailed than the usual 'choose your attack power' type of thing, something with skills etc - like a D&D or Elder Scrolls Oblivion but on PS2.

my brother has Battle Engine Aquilla on his xbox. He thinks it's "ok". You control a tank that transforms into a plane. I've had a quick go at it. Not my cup of tea. Suggest you find a demo of it online, burn it try it out on your ps2 before you dig out the cash...

Cool, thanks for all the suggestions so far - keep them coming though.

Bards Tale seems interesting on first glance. The Steam Bot one intrigues me too.

Grandia 2 is awsome, Ring of Red i really enjoyed too, very early PS2 game but a unique RPG if you loved Vandal Hearts on the PSX you will love it, its pretty much the same but with big fighting mechas.

Grandia 2 and Ring of Red,I can vouch for both of them. Both awesome games,especially Grandia 2,I played it on Dreamcast (Doubt it's much different on PS2),truly awesome game,engaging story,and lovely combat. Ring of Red is quite a unique game,some nice gameplay elements in it,like aiming the gun manually (Yes,it is a RPG),and other things. Really good game.

Cheers GunBlade, I'll check them out when I get time.

I'm interested really in the more 'hardcore' RPG style, with stats,skills, level progression etc, but I'll give anything a try.

Buy a DS, play FF3. Can't get more hardcore than wiping your party every time you switch area.
