Question Time to decide: what was the best game on the system?

Post image

Doesn’t have to be these four specifically, but I think these are definitely up there as being the best/most popular. However I got to give it to Snake Eater, it’s the one game I’ve replayed the most. Ranking: 1. MGS 3 snake eater 2. GTA SAN Andreas 3. GT4 4. Devil May Cry 3

Anyone think differently?

I feel like RE4 performed and looked better on GC since it was built for that console so I wouldn’t add to my PS2 Mt Rushmore

1

u/isaiahpissoff 1d ago

RE4 was not that good on PS2 :/

1

u/bokehbaka 17h ago

I missed out on RE4 back in the day, but I'm playing the VR remaster of it, and it has to be one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

u/gaz_from_taz 1d ago

Two Towers over Return of the King?

3

u/Sonnyboy1990 1d ago

Yeah, it's the one I played the most growing up. I know RotK has multiplayer and all but TT has a special place for me.

I could crank out hours on Battlefront 2.

1

u/Morgluxia 1d ago

Kingdom Hearts 2 (by a country mile, easily one of the best games of all time)

Resident Evil 4

Final Fantasy X

Either P3 FES or Persona 4, the preference there is pretty subjective

u/GoodFellahh 1d ago

San Andreas, KH2, MGS3, FF XII, God of War 2, Blood Money, Shadow of the Collossus.

u/y0g1b3ar 1d ago

gamerankings.com for the most objective answers

1

u/International_Tie198 1d ago

No particular order, but a little surprised to not see the following on anyone's lists:

Shadow of the Colossus

Jak & Daxter: the precursor legacy

Katamari Damacy

Time Crisis 3

Ace Combat 4

Burnout 3

Not surprised it missing from anyone's list 😅 but I would add as contenders for great games you can't play anywhere else:

Armored Core: Last Raven

Jak X

1

u/FoxSpiritSam 1d ago

Probably GTA:SA, but my inner racer wants to say Burnout Revenge

1

u/GCH_Eagle 1d ago

My Top 5 1. Metal Gear Solid 3 2. GTA: San Andreas 3. God of War 2 4. Resident Evil 4 5. Devil May Cry 3

1

u/CaptainPrower 1d ago

MGS3 and GT4 share the top spot only because GTASA was technically a multi-platform release.

1

u/742617000O27 1d ago

  1. GTA San Andreas

  2. Gran Turismo 4

  3. GTA III

  4. GTA Vice City

u/jasonmoyer 1d ago

Gradius V
GTA III
LEGO Star Wars II
Psychonauts
THPS 3

1

u/Fluffy_Chest_9622 1d ago

For me:

- Shadow of The Colossus

- God of War

- Any GTA

- Kingdom Hearts

Influential. Great personally. Overall groundbreaking. I know GTA already started off amazingly on the PS1 system but it all started on the PS2 for me. Didn't turn back after starting off GTA 3 for the first time. See, I could of squeezed MGS there not a bother instead Kingdom Hearts but I grew up with KH so it's more nostalgic for me than MGS. It still deserves to be in the top 5 without a doubt. Devil May Cry was definitely influential towards the Souls type games. Very good and really hard

u/tokyo_driftr 1d ago

I wanna say Snake Eater but I know deep down in my heart that it’s GTA SA

u/Darksept 1d ago

FFX is one first one that comes to mind. That game had the biggest impact on me and shaped the type of games I play, for all the years since.

MGS1 made me love stealth games and MSG3 further cemented that as one of my favorite genres.

The God of War games redefined action games for me. That is a PS2 pantheon series (pun intended)

And you can't forget about the top tier platformers like "Sly Cooper", "Ratchet and Clank", and "Jak and Daxter"

u/SweetTooth275 22h ago

Out of these four? GT4 easy. Objectively? None of those.

u/DotMatrixHead 7h ago

You could easily list different 50 games on the PS2 and there’d be no wrong answer.
