Any other good third person shooters for PS2?
Hello all, After playing SOCOM I've found that first person shooters feel awkward, I used to love games like Rainbow 6, Cold Winter, even Goldeneye!!! I can't play them anymore cause looking around in first person makes me feel like I'm wearing a neck brace.

Can anyone recommend any really good third person shooting style games for PS2 to help fill the void (for those rare moments when I want a break from SOCOM) other than Splinter Cell (loved it), Sniper Elite (liked it) and Ghost Recon 2 (hated it)?

For online there isn't much to choose from, but Metal Gear Online (aka Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence) is a really fresh take on the online play and is pretty different then socom. About 1000 people play nightly and it's 3rd person! (With FP elements).

I feel your pain. First person makes me dizzy.

Are you looking for online 3rd person shooters, single player, or both?

Thanks for the idea Bright!

Boba - either SP or MP recommendations would be great - I'm not picky as long as its a good game!

Non-online game that I love is Resident Evil 4 but don't know if that is the type of game you mean. Have you looked at Urban Chaos: Riot Response? That one is bloody & you can play online but its really arcady!


EDIT: Sorry, I re-read your post, Urban Chaos is not for you! lol
