As you know, 2D is getting ever more few & far between but there are a few solid platformers for the PS2 that I've discovered: Disney's Kim Possible is perhaps the best the lot in terms of fun, challenge and versatility: http://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Kim-Possible-Switch-Playstation-2/dp/B000GG1OTY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1345532061&sr=8-7&keywords=kim+possibl George of the Jungle is similar but a bit more difficult, not quite as good but close: http://www.amazon.com/George-The-Jungle-Playstation-2/dp/B0012RCNV4/ref=pd_sim_vg_26 Despicable Me captures a lot of the magic of the movie but is by far the most puzzle-heavy of this lot: http://www.amazon.com/Despicable-Me-The-Game-Playstation-2/dp/B0033BJSII/ref=pd_sim_vg_5 Finally Astro Boy (from D3 not Sega) is a side scrolling beat-em up/ flying shooter: http://www.amazon.com/Astro-Boy-Video-Game-Playstation-2/dp/B00274SI74/ref=sr_1_1_title_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1345533475&sr=1-1&keywords=astro+boy There may be more but these are the 2D games in my PS2 collection and they are all still available (new) through retailers like Amazon- and pretty cheap to boot.
