It seems alot of the newer games that are out have a high level of intensity to them. What games can you think of that are the most intense from PS2 on up?

My favorite racing series has quickly become the Burnout series (with Burnout 3 on top). Those games are NUTS, and that's how I like my racing games. Gran Turismo is far too slow-paced and realistic for me. I like my racing arcadey and fast.

there are a lot of games that really get your heart pounding. spending a few hours getting past a really hard spot, and then seeing that boss... always gets me... any good game can do that :)

Some games that we discussed in other threads: Ikaruga and Contra - Shattered Soldier are among the top dogs for intensity in gameplay to me. As far as story intensity, I'd have to say Silent Hill games take the cake. There's always a nice (if not unpleasant!) surprise waiting in the story, even if it's hard to understand.

not only that, but getting charged by absorbing attacks of the same colour, very interesting concept. when I first played I didn't even know about the colour switching thing, I just thought it was a cool shooter, once I figured that out however, I declared it to be the best shooter ever. :)

I'm thinking the MGS series would be another intensified styling. Waiting for enemies, sneaking and hoping they don't catch you! Great fun, and gripping!

Then I'd say Zelda - The Wind Waker. This game's intense. I played played it and couldn't let my hands off it. The characters' movements are so lively and real. It's great. And of course Soul Calibur (1 and 2).

ah Soul Calibur, got the girlfriend hooked on that one while she was here, she borrowed the GameCube, and is buying Soul Calibur 2 this weekend if she follows through with the plan.

Once you try it you can't stop. It's quite addicting.

I pretty much agree with most of the suggestions listed. Most Intense Combat - Contra: Shattered Soldier - Ikaruga - Call Of Duty Most Intense Story - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty Most Intense Atmosphere - Slilent Hill 2 - Resident Evil 0 - Half-Life 1 & 2 I haven't experienced much of the new school games.

I don't get into too many racing games, but I'd be interested in trying Burnout 3. There's been a lot of hype about it. I wonder if it's much different from the other racers out there...
