[PS2] Must Own PS2 Games, or how many middling JRPGs can you suggest?

If God of War II cost $25 or more then you are a terrible human being for buying it instead of Persona 3. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, but it's also amazingly short. I would've been pissed that I bought it back when it first came out, except it was so short I could still sell it on Ebay for a full refund.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume they just didn't have any copies of Psychonauts.

Alright, you're excused on GoW II then. Plus it would've been crazy to buy a used copy of the original P3 for even $25 since you can get FES (a bunch of extras/weapon customization added to the main game plus the epilogue that's basically a shorter sequel) for $30 new. I still see copies of that in Sears, so it's not that hard to find.

I haven't really heard anything good about Ratchet: Deadlocked, but I don't think it's supposed to be horrible either. Just kind of meh. It'll always hold a special place in my heart thanks to the Dead Zone episode that revolved entirely around it as the hot must-have Christmas item.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

After going back to look at the journal entry I made after beating it, I'd say it was probably 7-8 hours at best. It only took me around 2 weeks to finish it, and I'm pretty slow. I know a lot of people would say that's fine for a platformer like God of War, but most of my problem stemmed from how it could easily have been much longer. It ended just when the story was really picking up, and the Making Of disc showed an Atlantis world they'd planned that could've doubled the length of the game plus an area they dropped that was essentially complete with enemy AI already programmed.

GoW2 was fun while it lasted, but in the end it just left me thinking "that's it?"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, that was my real problem. The more I think about it, the game would've been just fine if it hadn't had the completely unnecessary cliffhanger. It all depends on the game whether length ends up mattering. I mean, I beat Klonoa 2 in less than a week and still loved it.
