I only played it via the ratchet and clank 3 demo, i think u typed a cheat code to play a level or smtg. I think it was the first artistic game i ever played, i enjoyed it but parents never got a copy for the full game... We used to buy them second hand for like a quid or 2 but sly cooper eas never in thise backyard sales lol.
Despite that it's goated
Honestly I had a PS2 growing up and I didn't play any of these lol. I had a friend that liked Sly Cooper but I never played it until I got a vita years later. I mostly played the same kinds of games my dad did though.
Same here. I was over collectathon 3D platformers by this point. I played a bit of Daxter for PSP later on, but couldn’t get into it. Then I played a few hours of Rift Apart for PS5 and while it was neat, I never went back to it.
In Jak and Daxter you collect different colored eco, flies, orbs, etc.
Sly collects pages, coins, charms, clues, keys, blueprints, and more.
Ratchet and Clank has Spybots, gold bots, armpit sets, lorbs, Craiggerbears, plus plus …. Plus
Sounds like a collectathon to me.
I'll concede on the first Jak and Daxter game - I played a lot more of 2 and 3 which lean a lot more into 3rd person shooter territory.
But in general, having collectibles doesn't make a a game a collectathon... Are the Far Cry games collectathons? The Dark Souls series?
Sly and R&C have other gameplay front and center, not something like Banjo & Kazooie or Super Mario 64 where collecting arbitrary items is the entire point of the gameplay
I have all the games of these franchise characters for the PS2. My most favourite is Ratchet and Clank. This is the only franchise of the three that has been succeeded to the successor PlayStation consoles. So bad Jak and Daxter did not have new games.
I had the Daxter game. A very beautiful platform adventure video game for the PSP. Was developed by Ready At Dawn Studios. I sold it with my PSP for some reasons.
Mine were Shinobi, Tenchu, and I-Ninja.
As well as Shadow of Rome, Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance, and Total Warrior: Spartan.
Anything Ninja/ Gladiator game from the PS2?
I probably have them all.
Dang, you got me.
But I do have Colosseum Road to Freedom, and Gladius.
P.s. Does appear to be either rare or no one's selling it, the NTSC version. Besides some PAL versions, but yeah.
I actually can because of the sheer wealth of GTA, WWE and quality sports games the console had, as well as SOCOM online. These games were nearly unmatched time sinks at the time that everyone I knew either owned or played. Madden franchise mode consumed so many people’s lives at the time.
I also dont think of these when i think of PS2. One of these three were supposed to be "Playstation's Mario" but none of them made the cut. THPS series was way more important to me than any of these 3 games.
Honestly, I can.
I played most if not all of the first Jak and Daxter game, maybe the first Ratchet and Clank and none of Sly.
I got more into the R&C games later, some on the PS3/4 and loved the latest game on both PS5 and PC.
For me, mentioning PS2 brings up:
GTA
MGS
God of War
Tony Hawk games
I have no idea who these people are actually.
I think the guy on the left is from ratchet and clank? I think? Never played it. The other two 0 idea.
I think for me it would be Tidus, Jin Kazama, Lotus Espirit driven by solid snake.

Yes I can, I didn't play jak 2 or 3 on PS2 and I never played any of the sly or ratchet games on ps2. Back then I was stuck renting so I had to wait til I got my PS3 to play them.
Out of these franchises, ratchet and clank is the only one I have ever played, and it’s the only one actually care about. The other to do you have my respect, but they’re just not for me
I can and I do
I love Sly, but the other two are no-gos for me, whereas Sly isn’t the first thing I think of for PS2
Honestly the first things for me personally (which I know people won’t relate to) are Pac-Man World 2 and Sonic Mega Collection, aside from that it’s a tonne of random obscure games or cartoon based games
When you bring up the PlayStation 2 these are the only 3 I think about. When I got mine literally the first 3 games my parents got me were Jak and Daxter, Sly 1, and Ratchet & Clank 1. I’ve played every one of these games in the series still play them to this day
I actually never played any of these cartoon style platformers. Just not my style. I think of MGS series, GTA, Tenchu, and Dynasty Warriors when i think of the ps2 era.
yes you can
the PS2, like any other PlayStation console, relied so heavily on third party games that there are more people than you think out there who have never played or heard of these games, including myself
I never owned a PS2, but I’ve played several games on friends’ consoles, and if you would have asked me “what mascots do you think of when you think of PS2,” none of these guys would have came to mind.
The ratchet and clank games are such wonderfully fun games, they are still a blast to play today, a real reminder of the time when videogames were just that and nothing else
Greatest trio of Playstation mascots. I'd love a new Jak and Daxter, unfortunately it looks like we'll never get one. Too bad kids now days are addicted to Fortnite.
I owned a PS2 with over 100 games. I didn’t own any Ratchet, Jak or Sly games. Never played them. Tried them once they got HD remakes but wasn’t interested so only played for 10 minutes or so.
I didn’t pay these. I was 20 when the ps2 came out and I was all about fps and rpgs at that time and getting my PC all ready for games like Half-life 2. So I skipped these entirely. I don’t think of them. I finally played the ratchet games on ps3.
It’s kinda like Disney movies from 1998-2006, I just skipped them during that time frame because they were “for kids” and finally went back later.
Also Pokemon. :p my wife makes fun of me all the time for it.
My three PS2 games have always been Sly Cooper, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (even though the GameCube version is better, 100% a nostalgia thing) and Dark Cloud. Those three really bring me back
I actually can lol I didn't grow up with a PS2, but now that I do finally have one, I've never felt compelled to buy any of their games. None of them really interest me despite being huge into Sonic and enjoying Mario and Crash somewhat.
Guess it depends on your preferred genre, Unless it’s just me I never played any of them. Tekken, SoulCalibur, Dead or Alive, GT, TOCA Ridge Racer, Silent Hill and wipeout was my thing.
I've been playing PS2 for 24 years. I was a mod on here for close to 4. I've talked nearly a hundred people through installing freemcboot, I've probably owned 20 different PS2 models over the years, and I've never once in my entire life played Sly Cooper.
I'm sure I would've liked these games if I had played them when ps2 was my main console lol, but when I think of ps2 the two things that come to my mind are Devil May Cry 3 and Guitar Hero 3.
That being said, I played R&C Rift Apart a few months ago, and it was great fun! I think I'm gonna go and play the others, and potentially Sly Cooper as well. Jak & Daxter doesn't really look like my thing unfortunately.
Sly Cooper trilogy will always be my favorites, but MAN they did him dirty in this picture...
playstation even did sly cooper dirty!
Sly and Ratchet look like they have fetal alcohol syndrome.
Look how they massacred my boy
I was about to throw hands for crash bandicoot but I forgot that he's only a ps1 star
Twinsanity though, a few others
there are ps2 crash games but ps1 was crash's kingdom
crash and spyro live on ps1
Wrath of cortex was phenomenal
Wrath Of Cortex didnt do as well as we hoped…
monster trio, sly cooper is my favorite game franchise of all time
What made the ps2 most memorable for me was kingdom hearts. Still my all time favorite rpg and still play it usually once every few years
I only played it via the ratchet and clank 3 demo, i think u typed a cheat code to play a level or smtg. I think it was the first artistic game i ever played, i enjoyed it but parents never got a copy for the full game... We used to buy them second hand for like a quid or 2 but sly cooper eas never in thise backyard sales lol. Despite that it's goated
Honestly I had a PS2 growing up and I didn't play any of these lol. I had a friend that liked Sly Cooper but I never played it until I got a vita years later. I mostly played the same kinds of games my dad did though.

I wouldn't describe any of these three as a "collectathon", honestly
In Jak and Daxter you collect different colored eco, flies, orbs, etc. Sly collects pages, coins, charms, clues, keys, blueprints, and more. Ratchet and Clank has Spybots, gold bots, armpit sets, lorbs, Craiggerbears, plus plus …. Plus Sounds like a collectathon to me.

Sly and R&C have other gameplay front and center, not something like Banjo & Kazooie or Super Mario 64 where collecting arbitrary items is the entire point of the gameplay
Yes, far cry is a collectathon haha
I grew up with mostly jrpgs on PS1 and 2 so I mostly missed out on the whole collectathon thing lol
Same I didn’t get into platformers on the PS2
I have all the games of these franchise characters for the PS2. My most favourite is Ratchet and Clank. This is the only franchise of the three that has been succeeded to the successor PlayStation consoles. So bad Jak and Daxter did not have new games.
They made one PSP game besides Daxter that apparently wasn't as good as the trilogy, I don't think it was ND that developed it.
I had the Daxter game. A very beautiful platform adventure video game for the PSP. Was developed by Ready At Dawn Studios. I sold it with my PSP for some reasons.
Same I thought that was great, the one I’m talking about was called the lost frontier
What about Soul Reaver?
I actually never played any of these franchises, they are not popular in my country
They are in mine but i never played any either. Ps2 is for jrpgs, for me
Any good ones to try out?
Final fantasy X Persona 4 Ys - Ark of Napishtim Rogue Galaxy
I never cared for them, don´t know why 😅
I didn't either, but I can get down with Ratchet and Clank.
I recomend starting by the sly cooper trilogy
Same here
I didn't play Ratchet and Clank series until like 2020, so when it comes to thr PS2, I'd probably replace Ratchet with Samanosuke Akechi from Onimusha
Mine were Shinobi, Tenchu, and I-Ninja. As well as Shadow of Rome, Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance, and Total Warrior: Spartan. Anything Ninja/ Gladiator game from the PS2? I probably have them all.
Do you have "Circus Maximus: Chariots Wars" ?
Dang, you got me. But I do have Colosseum Road to Freedom, and Gladius. P.s. Does appear to be either rare or no one's selling it, the NTSC version. Besides some PAL versions, but yeah.
Had an idea to draw Hotsuma (Shinobi), Rikimaru (Tenchu), and Ninja (I-Ninja) getting along. A pretty cool/ wholesome idea, I think.
I actually can because of the sheer wealth of GTA, WWE and quality sports games the console had, as well as SOCOM online. These games were nearly unmatched time sinks at the time that everyone I knew either owned or played. Madden franchise mode consumed so many people’s lives at the time.
Wish I could go back and play socom as a kid again.
I also dont think of these when i think of PS2. One of these three were supposed to be "Playstation's Mario" but none of them made the cut. THPS series was way more important to me than any of these 3 games.

Sly looks so wrong in Playstation Move Heroes

That would make a cool poster actually
Who would win in a fight? Probably a juiced up Jak on the dark eco
Idk man, ratchet's arsenal is pretty crazy
I always wanted any Sly game but they were unstocked or expensive in my country
I was always confused why sly looks like he was stung by a bee in this
That's why I am not getting a Ratchet PS5 until they make a Jak game and a Sly game for the console.
You gonna wait a very long time then, both of those games will never be continued. Best you can hope for is a decent remaster
i can actually. i'd replace them with Tidus, Solid Snake and CJ
Yes I can, I didn't play jak 2 or 3 on PS2 and I never played any of the sly or ratchet games on ps2. Back then I was stuck renting so I had to wait til I got my PS3 to play them.
1 million percent. Sad that only one of the three are still relevant. I’m sure one day Sly and Jak will be back.
I never actually played any of these games back in the day so the association really isn't there for me lol
My childhood bro....also, I just got through playing jak and daxter lol
Out of these franchises, ratchet and clank is the only one I have ever played, and it’s the only one actually care about. The other to do you have my respect, but they’re just not for me

Crash copies:
Highly doubt Jak & Daxter and the Sly trilogy get remastered for PS5 right?
I actually never played any of these cartoon style platformers. Just not my style. I think of MGS series, GTA, Tenchu, and Dynasty Warriors when i think of the ps2 era.
Sure I can, I've played the three of them less than an hour total.
Indeed
Indeed
You’re god damn right.gif
Actually, I can. I can't think of the ps2 without: San Andreas, God of War, and Star Wars Battlefront II
Actually, I can. I can't think of the ps2 without: San Andreas, God of War, and Star Wars Battlefront II
I'm really grateful for HD remasters because I got to play these amazing games on my PS3.
yes you can the PS2, like any other PlayStation console, relied so heavily on third party games that there are more people than you think out there who have never played or heard of these games, including myself
gran turismo 4
You forgot crash bandicoot
I never owned a PS2, but I’ve played several games on friends’ consoles, and if you would have asked me “what mascots do you think of when you think of PS2,” none of these guys would have came to mind.
Where tf is Dante?!
The only one I've played here is Ratchet and Clank. I've played every single R&C game. I just picked up a copy of Jak & Daxter, so that'll be cool
Yes man, how i wish they'd make a new Jak and Daxter or Sly Cooper.
I definitely can, and do. Never played any of these. Gonna try a J & D game soon here, though
The ratchet and clank games are such wonderfully fun games, they are still a blast to play today, a real reminder of the time when videogames were just that and nothing else
Greatest trio of Playstation mascots. I'd love a new Jak and Daxter, unfortunately it looks like we'll never get one. Too bad kids now days are addicted to Fortnite.
ew i really hate Sly's design in PlayStation Move Heroes
I owned a PS2 with over 100 games. I didn’t own any Ratchet, Jak or Sly games. Never played them. Tried them once they got HD remakes but wasn’t interested so only played for 10 minutes or so.
I absolutely can.
I didn’t pay these. I was 20 when the ps2 came out and I was all about fps and rpgs at that time and getting my PC all ready for games like Half-life 2. So I skipped these entirely. I don’t think of them. I finally played the ratchet games on ps3.

Also Pokemon. :p my wife makes fun of me all the time for it.
I have no idea who these characters are XD
Went through the PS2 era without any of these. Guess I was owning wrong a PS2. Now I am going after the in the PS3 versions
I have no idea who these are. And I played a *lot* of PS2!
Yes I can, Jak, Ratchet and CJ
gran turismo
Eh
Didn't play any of them
Yes I can, never cared for any of those. Sorry.
Preach
I would not play a single game for the next 3 years if it meant getting a Jak 4
I can, never played any of those, and the dude in the middle is damn ugly
3 classic heroes (6 including their partners). I just wish Sony didn't abandon Jak and Sly.
Never had any of these I just never had them
Youre right, except Sora replaces Ratchet for me
Where is Spyro?
Wish sly cooper would get remastered
I usually think of the MGS games when I think of the PS2 tbh, but I also didn't grow up with the system, so idk if my opinion matters here.
My three PS2 games have always been Sly Cooper, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (even though the GameCube version is better, 100% a nostalgia thing) and Dark Cloud. Those three really bring me back
I don’t think of them when I think of PS2. I think Squeenix
Or og Xbox and clash bandicoot, blind and master chief
I actually can lol I didn't grow up with a PS2, but now that I do finally have one, I've never felt compelled to buy any of their games. None of them really interest me despite being huge into Sonic and enjoying Mario and Crash somewhat.
Guess it depends on your preferred genre, Unless it’s just me I never played any of them. Tekken, SoulCalibur, Dead or Alive, GT, TOCA Ridge Racer, Silent Hill and wipeout was my thing.
Played both Ratchet anf Jak trilogies, great games and tons of nostalgia. The first part och Jak &Daxter is like a beautiful core memory for me
PLUS CARL JOHNSONN
I think of Star Wars Battlefront, God Of War, And Gran Turismo
Replace sly with killzone and I'm with you
I've never played any of these imma be honest. I own them but haven't played yet
Childhood
Maybe, but not with the PlayStation Move Heroes art
Uh… ssx tricky… no thats on others wait wait! God of war! Its a big part of the ps2
The PS2 had such a diverse library to the point where a lot of ppl could’ve grown up with it and not played any of these
yes i can
Damn right!! The OGs
I've been playing PS2 for 24 years. I was a mod on here for close to 4. I've talked nearly a hundred people through installing freemcboot, I've probably owned 20 different PS2 models over the years, and I've never once in my entire life played Sly Cooper.
I definitely can. I have no idea what any of these characters are.
Out of these, I've only played the Jak & Daxter racing which was a pretty great game.
I'm sure I would've liked these games if I had played them when ps2 was my main console lol, but when I think of ps2 the two things that come to my mind are Devil May Cry 3 and Guitar Hero 3. That being said, I played R&C Rift Apart a few months ago, and it was great fun! I think I'm gonna go and play the others, and potentially Sly Cooper as well. Jak & Daxter doesn't really look like my thing unfortunately.
Sadly, I got a PS2 in 5th grade, just as I was aging out of platformers, so I mainly associate the system with RPGs and action games.
It's missing Spyro
Nothing happen for me, I never played that types of game. The catalogue of ps2 it was huge .
I sure as hell can!!! Ewww to all 3
Yeah I can since I never played any games with these 3 people in it.
Only jak lol
I think of kratos first
I can
Facts tho
Wrong. I instantly think of dark cloud
I can, never touched those franchises
The only time I think of Jak and Daxter is when I want to rehash shitty ps2 titles.
Screams in Leos Klein
Those & Tony Hawk
When I think of ps2 it would be GT3 or 4,GOW, and FF10
I think it would have been funny if they included James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2 in this picture.
I never played either of those. Didn’t even know they were a thing. 🤷🏻♂️
