I'm back baby!
Fancy a bit of an adventure game. Doesn't need to be too in-depth but does need to have interesting characters and challenges.

Ideas?

The Ratchet and Clank series are great, not too deep, but funny characters, all round destruction and mayhem :)

Also the first Jak and Daxter was great.

God of war and God of War 2

DMC always gets good reviews.

Isn't the new old tomb raider coming to PS2 shortly?

Would you class games like MGS, Silent Hill, Resident Evil as adventure? they are survival horror, dunno if that is more your thing?
 
if you've not tried Shadow of Collossus I'd definitely recommend it.

characters you won't find. challenges and awe you will.
 
depends what kinda style your after? do you have preference on what sorta time frame its set in?

shadow of the colossus is an amazing game, very interesting battles, every battle is a boss battle! check vids of this :D

metal gear solid series are good, set in modern day war times. Stealthy action adventure if thats your thing, very deep story, almost like watching a film at times. great stuff though.

devil may cry series, challenging games.. fantasy setting, sorta gothic but with guns and swords. big on style this one

god of war is an amazing game too, very well done adventure game. greek mythology, big boss battles, interesting mini battles. the 2nd one is out soon.

prince of persia series, ive only played the first but they all seem to get good reviews, and you can pick up all 3 for really cheap. set in old days, really nice platforming puzzles if thats more your thing.

okami, really good also, very long game which is very zelda style. based on japanese mythology, with really interesting gameplay elements.

these are the cream of the crop i reckon, check them out on ign or gametrailers to get a feel of them

If you mean adventure in terms of something with a slight story that you have a purpose from going A-to-B then you can't beat God of War (1), Ico or Shadow of the Collossus. Not only are they the 3 best adventures on the Sony Playstation 2, they are 3 of the best adventure games of all time.

Please, play God of War prior to playing the sequel.

That is the kind of thing I was after.

The only adventure game I have is Shadow of Memories. Which sucks actual ass.

What I guess I'm after is a modern 'C64's The Hobbit' :)

Thanks everyone for the ideas, especially ojste, nice post :)

I must be the only person who cant get into Shadow of Collossus :(

people love it or hate it.

it's a bit like absinthe. it's rather special, but your usually on your own understanding why.
 
Ico was great. I also enjoyed broken sword 3 - sleeping dragon. It's quite short but very funny & well acted, it is a 'classical' style adventure game.
