Hmmm....good question

Skies of Arcadia - Though the Gamecube version is arguably better

Space Channel 5 - Which I enjoyed more than Rez. I think the new VR Rez probably makes that one obsolete too

Jet Set Radio - I need to download the PSN version at some point

Grandia 2 gets just an honorable mention because I don't think it's as good as the original

1. Rez
This game is so sublime, especially Area 5, and the soundtrack is killer.

2. Grandia II
Great battle system, engaging story, loveable characters. I put so much time into this game.

3. Shenmue II
I was on the fence about the first Shenmue, but the sequel blew my mind with its immersive and expansive world, the action heavy gameplay and fast moving story, and some awesome characters, like Ren.

Honourable mentions:
1. Skies of Arcadia
The high number of random, repetative battles sinks what is otherwise a unique and very charming game.

2. Sonic Adventure
Being a huge 2D Sonic fan, this blew my mind when it was released. It was everything a 3D Sonic game should have been. While one or two sequels improved some elements, this is 3D Sonic at its best.

3. Jet Set Radio
Extremely unique, stylish, and fun. But frustrating at times too.

4. Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Many of the puzzles and levels are frustratingly obtuse. But the underwater environments, especially early on, are so immersive and sublime. I love the 2D homage levels too.

5. Virtua Tennis
Extremely fun alone and even more so with friends. It still holds up well today despite its sequels.

6. Crazy Taxi
Easy to get into, hard to master, and insanely fun and addictive.
