Action PSX games to recommend

RZetlin · May 17th, 2003

Now that PSX games are dirt cheap, I am looking to get some action PSX games. (No RPG games, I already have enough.)

Can you guys recommend me some action PSX games.

Is Tenchu or Tenchu 2 a good buy?

**Yeloazndevil** · May 17th, 2003

get Tenchu, but skip Tenchu 2 it suxs

You may try Nuclear Dawn as well. Do I have to suggest Metal Gear Solid?

Silent Bomber - very fast and very hard, but fun

F-3582 · May 18th, 2003

Metal Gear Solid is one of my favourites.

Omega Boost, Colony Wars Red Sun (3D space shooters).
Syphon Filter I and II (third person shooters)
Driver I and II (reckless driving, persecutions, kinda like GTA3, but obviously with worse graphics)
And Tenchu is excellent... I don't know about Tenchu 2 but the fist one is awesome.

**Prafull** · May 18th, 2003

All REs (except RE survivor), Dino crisis 2, silent hill, tenchu2 and yes MGS is a must.

i'd go for gekido, that was pretty cool.

May 18th, 2003

action? like in third person action? metal gear solid yeah...
if you mean anything action...ray crisis, crisis beat...

Gauntlet Legends, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and the Spyro the Dragon series are all good.

IIRC Tenchu is a stealth game and there's not much action on stealthing.... just boredom

Anyway, I recommend you Gekido, Colony Wars: Red Sun. Gauntlet Legends, Spiderman (the 1st one, awesome game!), Warriors of Might and Magic, Medal of Honor: Underground, Fighting Force (the 1st one), Bruce Willy's Apocalypse...

F-3582 · May 19th, 2003

Sxamiga, I guess that Spyro is a bit too much Jump'n'Run...

Kamina · May 19th, 2003

Afraid I don't have anything new to add since this isn't one of my favorite psx genres. My only real advice is to avoid Soulreaver unless it's under $5, I found the game to be disgustingly easy. Not bad just easy.

RPGWizard · May 19th, 2003

Gauntlet Legends (Also the original on NES if you can find it)
MGS
Omega Boost (hard to get used to, but once you do, very fun)

erkhesjr · May 20th, 2003

here are some good action and advanture games to recommend:

- Silent Hill
- Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
- Medal Of Honor: Underground
- Einhander (Einhaender)
- R-Type Delta
- Ace Combat 2
- Odd World: Abe's Oddysee
- Metal Slug X
- Alien Resurrection
- Brave Fencer Musashiden
- Crash Bandicoot 2 - The Cortex Strikes Back

cyah.

Omegainf · May 21st, 2003

Stealth games are not action

F-3582, Spyro is indeed jump and run, but it is action all the way. Flying, fire breathing, solving puzzles, sounds like an action game to me.

An update, I got Tenchu.

I will post some screenshots later.
