GoW2, definitely. When it first came out, my friends and I were so hyped to play and finish the game that we spent a week together on and off just taking turns playing the game trying to finish it. After that, we enjoyed it so much that we finished god mode, this time a little faster due to us already knowing the map and only getting stuck when the boss battles got a little too difficult. I also remember waking up to that dramatic music so many times that it's pretty much burned into my memory.

I think Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, I enjoyed that game, best $50 I've spent, ever.

Any Dragon Ball game. Whenever one releases, I'm always hyped about it and will complete every single one of it. A lot of people felt that the story had been done to death but it never was for me. Every time I start a Dragon Ball on the PS2, I'll always make through to the end.

The Grand Theft Auto games are worth completing every single mission. In San Andreas, beating the Zero missions in San Fierro is one of the toughest challenges in that game, I think the mission was "Supply Lines" where you have to make use of Zero's RC plane to wipe out your rival's delivery vans. For Vice City, the mission "The Driver" is one of the most frustrating missions as well since you have to beat his Sabre Turbo using your Sentinel.
Metal Gear Solid 2 was definitely one of those games that draws you in and makes you want to play it from start to finish. I definitely remember spending a ton of time in that game. It's not that it was particularly difficult, I just spent a lot of time running around looking at stuff. The gameplay is really great too, it definitely holds up even now. Not sure that you could say the same about the graphics though.
Yeah the Grand Theft Auto missions were always challenging and really caught your interest. All of the missions has something in it that really got me going.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. No matter how many hours I spend playing that game in all seriousness, I just can't. I mean, the game is so huge and there's so much to do that every time I pop in the game I spend 8 hours just typing in cheats and flying on my car and blowing stuff up. I can spend hours and hours withour even getting into the actually story. The first time I played the game and the first time I got to ride a bike, I just went nuts on the road. Up to this day I still haven't finished it yet.

Jak II, until recently, I never understood why I wasn't capable of beating that game. Aside from being a kid at the time, it still boggled me as to the difficulty of console games in the past weren't as high as they are now. But regardless, to this day, I felt bad for not finishing a lot of the games that I had on my PS2

Some people mentioned GTA. I don't know why but I never really felt compelled to finish any GTA game that came out. The games that I was really determined to finish are as follows:
God of War 1 and 2 - I wanted to see what awesome thing Kratos would do next
Shadow of the Colossus - this game had full of mystery and wonder and beauty
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence - This is my favorite Metal Gear Solid Game
Okami - this game is simply gorgeous.

GTA 3 and GTA Vice City were 2 games I just had to beat, might of been 2 of the only games I did complete on PS2, never could finish San Andres. But on PS1 I think that game would of been Gran Turismo 1 and 2, those really took some time to win on every track, very fun game and highly underrated for the time, it was ahead of its time.

One game that i was really determined to beat was GTA San Andreas and Tekken although Tekken was the easiest to beat. GTa San Andreas to me was a very long game and I was just determined to prove to myself that I could complete it and I did although it took me a while I did it.

I was really determined to beat the original Devil May Cry when it came out. Me and a friend were having a personal race/competition to see who was better at the game and I remember being so hyped up to kill the boss before him just so I could say "HAHAHA YEAH, HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?" When I think of games I'm determined to beat I think of one's that have frustrated me or I have something to prove to a friend, not that I didn't love DMC1. I love MGS2 but I kind of dreaded beating it because I knew the experience would end and I'd probably end up thinking "uhhh...what just happened?" (I did).
Ace Combat 5 is the closest example I can think of that fits the theme of this thread. It was a game I LOVED (and still do) and I was just sooo hyped and determined to beat the final mission and stop the giant falling satelite. The game really does a good job of pumping you up before hand, prior to the last mission, with your previous enemies joining you and all the squadrons appearing on your radar but suddenly they're like "We're here to help you, pal! Let's kick some ass!" and suddenly they turn
blue instead of red on your hud. Then you get to hear everyone talk over the radio about your squad, on the news and how awesome you are, while the remaining bad guys/people who didn't defect to the heroes' side are saying "EVERYONE, TARGET WARDOG SQUADRON, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN END THIS", all the middle of this huge, epic battle unfolding in a city cloaked in a nuclear winter from a war that took place in the game's prologue (long story I won't go into). Then after clearing your objectives you have to fly through this looooong tunnel to destroy some reactor or gate, New Hope style, and at this point your hands start to sweat and you really feel the pressure because you're in this supersonic fighter jet going through a NARROW TUNNEL while the game's antagonist goes right in after you on your tail. So the whole time you have to control your acceleration so you don't go slam into the many obstacles inside this factory tunnel but you can't go too slow or else the bad guy will peg you with his missiles. The entire time you're weaving and narrowly avoiding death while this suspenseful music is playing and your missile warning is going off like a banshee.
That's not the end, you have one more mission after that, but instead of spoiling it ill post the music that plays:

Final Fantasy X. My older sister had beaten all the other FF games, but was disgusted with FFX. I set out to beat it and eventually did, but it's like "You beat FFX. No one cares. Yay for you. Come back when you beat the actual classics."
Going back and trying to beat the PS1 games.

Unlimited Saga. I failed because the game is unbeatable as the mechanics are ass. The inside of ass. I liked the art style, but it was the worst game I've ever played. The main reason I wanted to beat it was there was I time where I believed that Squaresoft/Square Enix didn't make games below good in quality.
...they sure showed me.

I was really determined to get the platinum in Assassin's Creed: Liberation on Vita. And I did it! But that game was pretty lame... the white Vita is sexy, though.
Man, that game. It sure was bad. I didn't even bother playing it for a long time, it just sucked too much from the beginning for me to care about it.

Shadow of the Colossus. But that ending took it all away from me.

Once I discovered the Grand Theft Auto games I was hooked! I was determined to beat them no matter how much time it took for me to do it.
