Show me some PS2 games to play with my lady

I have never been big on multiplayer games. So I am kinda out of the loop. My girl started asking about playing games together. We are already looking into MMORPG's (something I am familiar with), but she also wanted games we can play on the couch together.

The only games I have that might fit the bill are:
Guitar Hero 1+2
Gauntlet
Alien Hominid (very hard for her).
Katamari 1+2 (how is the multi player?)


Co-op would be better to avoid her nod being as good as me (a new gamer vs a long time gamer).

What do the master of PA suggest?

    Katamari 2's co-op is totally awesome.

    I'm no master, but the Lego Star Wars games are great Co-Op games. The X-men legends and Marvel Allaince games are good Co-Op too. But you kinda already have to like those franchises.

    Also, whenever I'm back home my mom and I play dynasty warriors.

    You could also get single-player games that have puzzle-solving elements and just work on getting through the game together. Beyond Good & Evil is a good example, and has a strong female lead.

    A usual suspect for this sort of situation is The Adventure of Cookie and Cream. I can't comment on it, as I've never picked it up personally.

    It;s pretty good, if a bit frustrating.

    My girlfriend and I play a lot of Pac Man Rally, Outlaw Tennis and Soul Caliber. She likes beating me up. :) You can find these really really cheap for $20 or less now.

    Dynasty Warriors 3 is an awesome coop game, a buddy and I hung out on the couch playing that for a year. The Red Star would work as well.

    She would have to know her way around a joystick, if you know what I mean.

    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 are fun co-op games.

    The Red Star is pretty hardcore. And also kinda hard to find, I hear.

    The Burnout series has some fun head to head modes and I think the latest iteration has co-op.

    I think games where a stronger player can carry a weaker one are better for co-opping with the missus. Gears of War comes to mind, as does Serious Sam. Any lightgun game. Devil Dice is a really sweet co-op puzzle game.
