Shadow of the Collossus a lot of fun. The animation and art direction are unparalleled, though it does tax the PS2 to its limits. The game has you riding across a really huge landscape (far bigger than anything Zelda's ever done), and reaching sixteen different Collosi, which you have to climb and defeat. It gets a little repetitive towards the end, but some of the Collosi are truly amazing, and I'd love to see a follow up for the next generation.

God of War is a straight up action game. Think Devil May Cry with Greek mythology, and that's essentially what you have. You even collect red orbs to buy stuff and green orbs for health like in DMC. Not as much cheesy dialogue though.
