Ape Escape 2 is a good quirky japanese game, one of the few platformers i liked.
And if you mean Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle) then that is also a very good game, however if you mean the original then that is really nothing special at all.

Not played any of the other games

Greatly under-rated game and a must have in anyones collection

> and Virtua Fighter 4.

The only fighting game i own other than DOA2, very good and requires you to actually learn the game if you want to reach the top instead of just hammering the buttons

I dont really like any of them, get something like Ratchet And Clank 2 or FFX-2 or FFX.

I heard about ICO being very under-rated, it was voted one of, if not the most under-rated games on either gamespy or gamespot. I'd expect Virtua Fighter 4 to be in my liking, although for some reason I wasn't a huge fan of Soul Calibur II, only when I was kicking my mates backsides, who never really played the game before.

Get ICO for sure.
One of the best games ever.
But they stopped selling it, so e-bay's you're best bet. And a sequel has been confirmed - look out.

And also, some taste in games would be a good idea.

Out of the list i would choose The Sims Bustin Out, only becuasen the others are too short and easy.

I've never played Vexx.

The Two Towers and the Return of the King are good but the Fellowship of the Ring is crap.

Ape Escape 2 is good but not as good as JAK 2 or Ratchet and Clank 2.

Dark Cloud is alright. Dark Chronicle is amazing.

I never played Sims: Busting Out but the Sims is quite good.

I've never played Taz Wanted or Theme Park World.

I hope that helps, Jakxter.
