Kingdom Hearts II takes the 34th spot in this list of the best PS2 games of all time, bringing classic Disney characters into the world of role-play-gaming! Play as a chap wielding a big key as a sword as you search for King Mickey. Still, having Disney characters from Bambi to Tron helping you on your adventure is a pretty cool gimmick, and both the plot and graphics are superb. Well, players control a prince on a mission to rebuild the night sky.
Well, players move a sticky ball around various locations, basically picking up everything and everything as they go along.
How many other games can you turn Mount Fuji into a star, for crying out loud! NBA Street Vol. Play takes place on some pretty iconic street courts such as Mosswood and the legendary Soul in the Hole. Seriously, this game was so much fun, but my mates beat me all the time. Jak 2 is up next in this list of the best PS2 games of all time. Why is it my third favourite?
Jak becomes Dark Jak for the first time too after collecting enough Dark Eco. He gets enhanced skills and goes full on goth for a short amount of time…. Guns play much more of a pivotal role in Jak 2. Still, it took a step away from the platformy feel of the first title while focusing on individual missions and hoverboard riding. Oh yeah, I said hoverboard alright. Take the duo for a ride around some stunning levels, blasting enemies into next week while doing everything you can to stay alive.
This game was important for a whole host of reasons, For starters, it was the title that brought open world gameplay to the canon. I daresay that it also shaped the way that other open world games were made long after it too.
Players have way more control over the actions of team members in battle too and the option of just rambling around looking for massive monsters to kill. Set in the region of Ivalice at a time where war is rife, players follow a rogue princess turned resistance pirate and a young swordsman determined to join the ranks of the sky pirates. For the first time, enemies can be seen in advance instead of popping up as random encounters.
It gives gamers the chance to avoid them if necessary, though slaying monsters makes loot drop for spending in shops. Slay monsters in combos, and you get even more cash to spend. The premise is simple; press one of 5 coloured buttons in time to the rhythm of the music. Achieving that full ROCK factor was always a challenge, and although I can play most of these songs in real life, my fingers always fell over each other trying to get a high score!
Rocking out to some of the greatest rock anthems of our time while wielding a guitar-shaped controller is one of the best feelings of all time. Play as Slash or Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine fame once unlocked, or take your chosen character all the way to the top by completing challenges and proving your mettle through over 70 different songs.
Come for the music, stay for the multiplayer co-op mode and epic guitar battles. Tales of Symphonia takes the 28th spot in this list of the best PS2 games of all time!
Players take a dude named Lloyd on a mission to save Sylvarant from some serious bad juju. Every move hangs in the balance, with one good deed in this world having a terrible effect on a parallel world. The game itself is open world brilliance. Kicking off the list with WWE Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain is a pretty good way to start. Considered by myself and many others to be the best wrestling game of all time, this title is a must have for every PS2 fan.
I used to run back from walking the dog every Saturday so that I could watch Stone Cold Steve Austin kicking the sh… I mean… wrestling against the likes of Kane and the Undertaker. It also brought new features too such as a better grappling system and new modes like the Elimination Chamber. The game sold well over , copies during its lifetime in the UK alone, receiving platinum status.
Bully takes the 26th spot in this list of the best PS2 games of time. This open world GTA-style free-for-all is a cracking title and another that needs to be in your collection. The jury was definitely out at to whether punters would like Bully. Players control James Hopkins, known through the game as Jimmy. He goes about this by beating people up, completing missions, and rising to the top of the school popularity system.
Sounds a bit like bullying with missions to me, but who am I to judge? Players move around this massive game on bikes, go-karts, and skateboards while working their way to the top of the Bullworth social ladder. And what better world to explore than the realm of Middle Earth in a brand new adventure that compliments the books! Well, gamers take warriors from the main factions of Middle Earth in a bid to deal with the mess that the main company of the Fellowship leave behind.
If you want to get real evil, then you can side with Sauron and fight to see Middle Earth burn to cinders. Persona 4 is the fifth title in the Persona series, despite the confusing 4 on the front cover.
Like Bully, it follows a year in the life of a high-school student, though murder and mystery are the main features this time. Set in a sleepy-old-town with nothing going on, our city-boy main character must discover why dead bodies are appearing through the town while delving into the mysterious TV world.
Corpses on rooftops, rumours of soulmates emerging from television sets, and shadow monsters that can only be fought by entering your screen.
One of the key elements of Persona 4 is the weather forecast system. The main character and the members of your RPG party all wield Personas. These are like a cross between Pokemon and Patronuses, mythical creatures that protect their owners and battle for them in the field as they struggle through life. The whole game is classic RPG action at its best with more upgrading and collectable action than you can shake a stick at.
We highly recommend trying this game out even if just for creating new Personas in the velvet room. With four modes of play including Freeplay and World Circuit, Tricky provides maximum thrills with the added player hostility that makes these games so interesting. SSX games allow players to hit each other in order to knock characters off course.
As far as gameplay is concerned, the courses and characters all look amazing. Just check out those mountains in the picture above! Garibaldi and Alaska serve as two new courses, with the other tracks providing altered versions from the original SSX game.
Like most racing games, SSX Tricky has a boost bar that players must fill. Characters pull off insane tricks called Uber Moves once the boost bar is full. Land Uber Moves successfully and reap the rewards of infinite boost, allowing gamers to zip past opponents like a noss-fuelled toboggan.
Punch and nose grab the move, not a real nose your way to glory in this epic EA sports title. Could the cover for Dark Cloud make it look any more like a Zelda game? Capcom, the sheer amount of fighters makes up for it in spades. That said, the quality of the sprites does vary considerably among the 40 characters. Not only does it feature a 4-man split-screen shootout mode, but the possibility to go through the entirety of its campaign in Co-Op.
While the main player controls Ratchet, the second player takes control of a combat bot as they both risk life and limb in massive firefights against hordes of enemies.
Like true bros. The fact that both characters share a bullet pool and weapons roster helps keeps things interesting, forcing each player into different roles depending on the available guns.
Bloody Roar has always been my favorite old-school fighter franchise ever since I played the first installment on the original PlayStation. While Bloody Roar has always set itself apart from other franchises with its animal transformation mechanics, this entry sets itself apart from the rest of the series in that the developers put a lot more care into making a balanced fighter.
Whether you live for the furry aesthetic or would rather beat one up, this game allows you to do both. After the critical success that was SSX Tricky, beloved for its wacky style and intense gameplay, expectations were high for the sequel. Its graphics were simply stunning back then and the open-world aspect that had you racing down different sides of a single mountain was just magnificent.
With its warped clinically insane characters, high-octane battle vehicles, and destructive weaponry galore, a 4-man free-for-all in Twisted Metal: Black is the perfect cathartic experience for you and your friends after a bad day.
And while its amazing dark-fantasy storyline is a pleasure to experience by yourself, it can be even better if you get the right friends for some Co-Op action. In fact, the tension that working in tandem brings to the table is vastly superior to simply cheesing enemies by taking advantage of their basic AI.
What makes it work is, of course, that they took the time to make a parallel campaign for Co-Op rather than just forcing a second player into the main story. Mild Fantasy Violence.
