PS2 Online?

[negles]

so i was just thinking.. has anyone ever played a game online on the ps2? if so what game.
ive never done it but i was just wondering if anyone has.

Yeah I played Socom II online, it's supposedly the best one for online but it was really a pain in the ass for me. I lost connection a lot and there was just too much lag at times.

It wasn't like the PSN today, still I think thats my reason why I don't play on PSN. I'm not a hater or anything, it's just at times like these I stick to one console and never look back and that has been my Xbox 360. It sucks that I'm gonna miss out on The Last Guardian and Team Ico Collection though.

Not many PS2 games still work unfortunately, if the game is an EA title forget about it hell i got psp ea titles they shut down the online for >.< feel free to try games just don't be surprised if you get a "Server Cant Be Found" sort of error

however if you find one that does work let me know

I remember playing some matches of Killzone, it had a good quality netcode and I spent a lot of time in it, I think I heard it still works as of now, can't tell for sure.

Brother spent a lot of time playing FIFA08 online. He racked up a lot of victories and it was very alive and well until EA pulled the plug, good memories.

The link goes to a list of online PS2 games and even says which ones are not online anymore. Anyway, I used to play Star Wars Battlefront II and Timesplitters: Future Perfect online. Battlefront II is still running, but Timesplitters was discontinued.

In fact, all of the games that allow system link / LAN play can be used online using xlink kai. Plenty of people playing Twisted Metal Black online, big red one, and many, many others.

Tried it once or twice with Ratchet & Clank 3, but never really got it working properly, sadly.

Twisted Metal Black Online. I got it when it was new. Nothing but empty servers as far as the eye can see.
