5) Final Fantasy X

“Masterpiece, a game cant get better than this everything about this game got 2 thumbs up from me.
The story line is just superb.”

ledzeppelin31493

“The PS2’s first blockbuster RPG is still one of its best. Final Fantasy X, as we could only expect from Square, was an utterly gorgeous looking game, with stunning landscapes, a wild array of color and artistic license, and some incredibly attractive-looking character and monster designs. Still, these aspects have become the status quo for the FF series. But this time, we got voice-acting for the first time in the series, and it didn’t suck!

We got a huge modification/upgrade/alteration to the battle system and the supporting cast delivered a slew of cool, goody accents. Best of all, the storyline and its ending are among the best of any game in any genre of the last generation. All in all, Final Fantasy X pretty much delivered flawlessly on the PS2, and we loved every minute of it.”

6) Kingdom Hearts II

“beter than one”

budmanrhy

“kingdom hearts sucks so bad. I mean Disney already sucked then they come out with this?!?! come on...”

leinad0116

“Wow this is 7? Are you kidding me. Have none of you heard of Kingdom Hearts? Of course it is childish but that just adds to the fun of the game. Have none of you watched a Disney movie? Of course you have. We all have and if you enjoy Disney buy this game. Have none of you played a Final Fantasy game? Of course you have. We all have and if you enjoy Final Fantasy buy this game.

I myself having just watched the intro to the game made me so compelled and sucked into it. I love this game.

You have not lived life until you’ve played this game. The most intriguing part is definitely the story. It just makes you want to explore it. To understand it fully and if you are one of those people who appreciate the story a game has to offer instead of the features and whatever else it does then you should get this game.

I cannot stress how much this game just sucks you in. Love it. You will.

Stop hiding behind a mature persona. Some times E rated games are good too. ;)”

87) MLB 08: The Show

“Go to season mode, give your team all HOF players make them all 18, and watch them win.”

88) Medal of Honor Rising Sun

“Machine Guns and Welrod rule in this game”

89) Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

“Though Insomniac Games hit pay dirt instantly with the first Ratchet & Clank game, it wasn’t until all the concepts of a platformer, a weapons-based shooter and the lightest of RPG elements that let all those weapons and health level-ups come to a head that the series really became a must-have. Make no mistake; if you own only one of the Ratchet games on the PS2, make sure it’s Up Your Arsenal. The sequel, Deadlocked, lost much of the charm of the first three games, and earlier efforts just didn’t gel as completely as Up Your Arsenal, nor did they sport its online modes.

The game’s length, storyline, weapon variety, different modes and ability to re-play the story through a second time were all a hoot. As if that weren’t enough, you could unlock a neat little peek behind the scenes of the game’s underlying tech in the Insomniac Museum (a returning feature from the previous game).”

90) Burnout 3 Takedown

“Criterion Games’ racing series really hit its mark with Burnout 3: Takedown, providing perhaps the most white-knuckled driving experience to ever hit a gaming console. The series’ perfect control mechanics were dialed in with this release, giving gamers perfect control of a vehicle at 220mph and allowing them to barrel down highways and side streets so fast that you almost need otherworldly abilities to stay calm. When mistakes were made, Hollywood-derived crashes became the result.

Burnout 3: Takedown’s fantastic visuals allowed for some of the most devastating crashes we’ve ever seen, and the result is that the game managed to reward the player with plenty of eye candy when they made a mistake. Add in some great online play, the ability to take out other cars, the fan-favorite Crash mode and you have the total package. Simply put, we’re not sure how arcade racing will ever get any better than Burnout 3: Takedown.”

91) Devil May Cry 3

“Picking a reason why Devil May Cry 3 is a frickin’ awesome game is kind of like picking a single reason why you like pizza. Maybe it’s good cheese, a tasty sauce or crispy crust that draws you to a good pie, but it’s the sum of the parts that keeps you coming back.

Devil May Cry 3 is like a great pizza - a pizza comprised of 32 missions, five difficulties, tons of monsters and multiple weapons.

Following Dante, a half-man half-demon who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble, Devil May Cry 3 puts gamers through one of the most challenging games PS2 owners ever popped a memory card in for as the hero blasts bad guys, solves puzzles and tries to meet up with his brother.

Armed with his guns and sword - and four styles of play - Dante breaks out dozens of attack combinations on his missions and leaves you in that funky-place between challenged and frustrated.”

92) Ico

“A silent protagonist and a scared princess who speaks an unknown tongue must escape a nearly-barren castle filled with uniformly shadowy figures. Somehow, it comes together as one of the most engaging adventures ever. Ico forges such a strong narrative and memorable characters with little dialogue and the simplistic gameplay come together into an unforgettable stylized storybook tale.”
