Vote for Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy X 5) Final Fantasy X

It’s a Final Fantasy Game, it’s the best, no question.

MasterThrasher

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.

Vote for Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus 9) Shadow of the Colossus

This game is the leading example of how video games can be changed from a mere form of entertainment to a refined beautiful art form. Shadow of the Colossus is the number one game for anyone who is not sold on the idea that video games are not art or are still kid’s toy or adult’s why to escape life. This game is so great that Roger Ebert said that if he were to play any game to get the full video experience he would play Shadow of the Colossus.

This game and Silent Hill 2 are some of the games that make anyone slap themselves in the face for not taking video games for seriously. I love this game. It’s challenging, it looks great, the world is huge, its fun to play, and even though it may not have much of a story but even that is still memorable.

Why this game is at NUMBER NINE is a testament to people who haven’t played good games. AND WHY IS TOMB RAIDER EVEN ON THIS LIST!

masongilbert74

Shadow of the Colossus has what is perhaps the most risky on-paper design we’ve ever seen. With only 16 enemies to fight in the game and an enormous world that is practically devoid of any actual tasks to perform, it doesn’t sound like the making of one of the best adventure games ever released.

But Shadow’s beauty lies in these empty spaces. It was designed much like a fairytale -- you’re left to fill in the gaps with your own ideas of how things came to be, what the reason for the events are and so forth. The battles and events that are there are some of the best we’ve ever seen, with characters and creatures that look like they’re straight out of a dream. Shadow of the Colossus is touching, mysterious, beautiful, desolate and even tragic, and these elements make it one of the most original and awe-inspiring games all of time.

Vote for God of War 2 12) God of War 2

Best ps2 game ever!

BBFreak9

The PlayStation 2 certainly has no shortage of action games, and when it comes to pure, unadulterated action, no one does it better than Kratos. While the franchise may be known best for its outright and over-the-top violence, Sony Santa Monica crafted a tale with the sequel that was bigger, better, more refined and, if you can believe it, even more epic than the original, and that was no short order by any stretch of the imagination.

The Greek mythology-inspired tale was told with deft hands, the sites were something out of a book of paintings and the combat was essentially perfect. Oh, and let’s not forget the boss battles, which still remain as some of the best we’ve ever seen. Yes, both the original and its sequel rank high amongst our list, but if you’ve played them, there’s no doubt as to why. It simply does not get much better than this.

Vote for Ico 56) 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.

Vote for Devil May Cry 3 63) 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.

Vote for Burnout 3 Takedown 81) 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.

Vote for Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal 92) 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).
