Ps2 spiele top 10: 25 Best PS2 Games of All-Time

25 Best PS2 Games of All-Time

(Image credit: Future)

The best PS2 games are essential plays. When the PlayStation 2 landed in 2000, Sony was riding high off of the success of the PS1 and had set its sights on dominating the entire video game industry. It wasn’t long before Sega was forced to exit the home console business entirely, and the less said about Nintendo’s GameCube sales the better. 

The truth is, there’s a reason the PS2 is considered the best-selling video game console of all-time – it’s because of that incredible library of available games. It’s a varied and diverse group that helped shape the way that we play today, including some of the best action, open world, role-playing, and stealth games ever made. So, let’s get into it: Here’s our pick of the 25 best PS2 games ever made.

Best PS2 Games, Ranked

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

Developer: Zipper Interactive
Released: 2003

Zipper Interactive did a fine job bringing third-person tactical shooting to the PS2 with the original SOCOM: US Navy Seals, but this sequel improved on just about every aspect of it. The single-player experience featured better AI, more varied objectives, and additional weaponry over the course of its 12 missions. However, those that experienced it back in the day know that the real fun was to be had online, as it was one of the best-networked experiences available on Sony’s console. The servers are offline now, but a LAN option is available for the truly dedicated.

24. OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast

(Image credit: Sega)

Developer: Sumo Digital
Released: 2006

Sega AM2’s driving game is a simple thing – you just need to drive wonderful Ferrari cars through absolutely beautiful scenery, taking advantage of one of gaming’s most satisfying drift mechanics as you go. That was all there was to it in the arcade but Sumo Digital’s conversion adds so much more through the Coast 2 Coast mode, with all sorts of driving challenges to keep you busy. If you like arcade racing games, you won’t find many that are as joyous as this, and it’s worth picking up for the PS2 as licensing issues saw later digital releases get de-listed.

23. Gradius V

Developer: Treasure
Released: 2004

If you don’t feel like the PS2 is retro yet, this game might make you think twice. Just imagine the kind of cosmic alignment that would be required to get Konami to publish a boxed, retail shoot-’em-up developed by Treasure in today’s market. It’s a shame, because this is a superb continuation of a classic gaming series, with great graphics and some inventive new ways to use the Option drones that have always been a staple of the series. It’s a decidedly old-school experience and one that is an essential purchase for any fan of the genre.

22. Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution

(Image credit: Sega)

Developer: Sega
Released: 2003

After a good showing with its first release of Virtua Fighter 4, Sega’s updated version smoothed out the graphics, added a couple of extra fighters and topped it off with substantial single-player content. The result was a truly top-class game, whether you were beating your friends down or facing off against foes in the virtual arcades of Quest mode, based on real-life pro players. This series has a reputation for being impenetrable, but that’s not really justified – it’s very simple to learn, with just three main buttons and one of the best tutorial modes of its time.

21. Dragon Quest 8: Journey Of The Cursed King

(Image credit: Square Enix)

Developer: Level 5
Released: 2004

There’s something very comforting about the PS2’s only major Dragon Quest game. As befitting a game from the quintessential Japanese RPG series, it remains an expression of the core of the genre, and it was a perfect introduction for European players who got this as their first official game in the series. It’s a simple game, and even by the standards of the series, it has a straightforward plot. But there’s a value in being brilliant at the basics, and this game nails that in every aspect, from Akira Toriyama’s attractive cel-shaded character designs to the top-notch localization.

20. Gran Turismo 4

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Polyphony Digital
Released: 2004

If you wanted your racing games on the more realistic side, Gran Turismo 4 was way ahead of the rest of the console pack in its day. Polyphony Digital didn’t try to do anything particularly new or clever with the game and focused on improving the things that had made the series so popular to begin with. With over 700 cars and more than 50 tracks to race on, Gran Turismo 4 is a game of truly mammoth proportions and one that looked absolutely phenomenal. The new B-Spec racing management mode was a fine addition to the on track action too.

19. Tony Hawk’s Underground

(Image credit: Activision)

Developer: Neversoft
Released: 2003

You’ve got to give Neversoft credit – given how popular its skateboarding series was, it would have been easy to simply put out another formulaic entry. Instead, the team took a gamble and pushed the series in a bold new direction, incorporating a more free-roaming style of play and a substantial story element that hadn’t existed in previous games. While the game was clearly at its best when you were on your board, the ability to walk around and pick up challenges on the fly refreshed a series that was potentially in danger of becoming a little bit stale.

  • Best Sports Games

18. Kingdom Hearts

(Image credit: Square Enix)

Developer: Square
Released: 2002

Smashing the beloved characters of Disney together with one of the most popular Japanese RPG series was bound to create some sort of fandom explosion, and it did just that – Kingdom Hearts still has very passionate fans today. Of course, there’s no instant answer to how such a crossover should play, so Square did what it knew best and came up with this brilliantly presented and overall rather excellent action RPG. It’s a delight to see Mickey and Donald visiting worlds like Agrabah and Halloween Town, as well as interacting with the likes of Tidus and Cloud from Final Fantasy.

17.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Insomniac Games
Released: 2004

The Tyhrranoids are attacking Veldin, and Ratchet’s not going to stand for seeing his home planet besieged! However, he quickly discovers that there’s more to this invasion than meets the eye, chiefly because of the manipulations of Dr. Nefarious. The first two games in this series were both excellent, but it’s the extra polish and large range of weapons that earns the third game in the trilogy its place on this list. By this point, the balance between platforming and shooting has definitely tipped in favor of the latter, but when it looks and plays like a dream, who’s complaining?

16. Katamari Damacy

(Image credit: Bandai Namco)

Developer: Namco
Released: 2004

The King Of All Cosmos got drunk and broke the sky, and now it’s your job to go down to Earth and fix it. How? By rolling up objects into progressively larger balls, which are launched into space to create new stars. Obviously. The core action of accumulating larger and larger objects, from batteries to boats, is very satisfying indeed – but just as much fun comes from the game’s oddball sense of character. The King is an absolute hoot, and the deliberately low-polygon look to the game’s colorful graphics gives the whole thing a very surreal atmosphere from start to finish.

15. SSX Tricky

(Image credit: EA)

Developer: EA Canada
Released: 2001

The first game in EA’s snowboarding series was a much-needed highlight of the PS2’s underwhelming launch line-up, but the sequel made it wholly redundant. The original game’s courses were all remixed and a couple of extra ones were added for good measure, while the showboating became even more outlandish with the addition of new Uber tricks. Beyond that, everything that players loved about the first game made the cut the second time around, be it the vibrant characters or the boisterous racing action. The fact that it’s still in the conversation for best snowboarding game ever says it all, really.

14. Amplitude

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Harmonix
Released: 2003

Harmonix was making great music games long before it struck plastic instrument gold with the Guitar Hero series, and Amplitude is a great example of that. This sequel to the extremely underrated Frequency tasked you with trying to get a song to auto-play by successfully playing certain sections of notes, across up to six instruments. This frantic juggling act was enhanced greatly by the eclectic soundtrack, taking in the likes of David Bowie, Run DMC, Blink-182, Slipknot, and Garbage. Although the remake for PS3 and PS4 is out there, we think it’s hard to top the musical selection here.

13. Okami

(Image credit: Capcom)

Developer: Clover Studios
Released: 2006

Capcom’s short-lived Clover Studio put out some great games, and Ōkami is one of the very best. This game puts players in control of Amaterasu, a sun goddess in wolf form whose goal is to save the land from darkness. This is arguably the closest thing to The Legend Of Zelda series that Sony’s console has, and it gives Nintendo’s classics a run for their money. The game’s unique visual style, inspired by classical Japanese artwork, gave it a cult appeal that ultimately saw the game converted to many other platforms despite the disappointing sales of the PS2 original.

12. Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Naughty Dog
Released: 2001

Having achieved great success on the PS1 with Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog decided to do something new for the next generation, and this was the result. Jak & Daxter is exactly the kind of collect-’em-up platformer that had been very popular in the previous generation but had the kind of open 3D environments that those older machines just couldn’t have achieved. Of course, it still featured the polished game design we’ve grown to expect from Naughty Dog, and the charismatic characters were expertly brought to life in the game’s plentiful in-engine cutscenes. It’s worth noting that the sequels are quite different.

11. Beyond Good & Evil

(Image credit: Ubisoft)

Developer: Ubisoft
Released: 2003

Tragically overlooked at the time of its release in 2003, this action-adventure has since come to be recognized as an excellent game that just didn’t quite get the sales push it needed. You play as Jade, whose planet is under assault from the DomZ – alien creatures that kill or enslave other creatures that they encounter. After being sought out by resistance forces, she finds herself uncovering the true nature of the DomZ. While the game design was perfectly good, what really stood out for the time was the quality of the storytelling as well as Jade’s appealing character.

10. Burnout 3: Takedown

(Image credit: EA)

Developer: Criterion Games
Released: 2004

Criterion’s first two Burnout games were great arcade racers, but their spectacular crashes were always something to avoid. This third game managed to correct that injustice by making combat a key part of the racing. Nothing was off-limits – you could slam your rivals into walls, run them into oncoming traffic or even drop down on them from above, all in the name of winning a race. It was incredibly fast and graphically spectacular, of course, but the cathartic release of aggression was always the highlight for us – and if that ever got boring, you could always cause carnage in the Crash Junctions.

9. Devil May Cry

(Image credit: Capcom)

Developer: Capcom
Released: 2001

Getting the hack-and-slash right in 3D was something that developers struggled with for a long time, and Capcom was arguably the first to achieve it with this early classic for the PS2. Dante’s first outing was originally conceived as a new direction for Resident Evil, but the game design became an original project incorporating a mixture of gunplay and close-range sword fighting, with emphasis on stringing together stylish combinations of attacks. The action is as smooth as the combos, and the game immediately established Dante as one of Capcom’s most beloved characters. Be sure to check out the third game too.

8. Ico

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Team Ico
Released: 2001

Frequently cited in tedious discussions on the artistic merit of videogames, Fumito Ueda’s directorial debut is great regardless of how you classify it. Ico’s basic design takes a lot from the likes of Prince Of Persia, with a mixture of platforming, puzzles and combat at the heart of the action. Ico’s unique feature is that its titular character is tasked with the protection of a captive girl named Yorda, whose difficulty in traversing the environment is a key part of the game’s puzzles. A full game escort mission might sound like the worst thing ever, but trust us – this one’s worth it.

  • Best Single-Player Games

7. Final Fantasy 10

(Image credit: Square Enix)

Developer: Square
Released: 2001

The city of Zanarkand has been attacked by Sin, and suddenly, our hero Tidus finds himself in the world of Spira. With no idea what’s going on, the talented Blitzball player sets out to discover what happened and prevent it from happening again, meeting plenty of friends along the way. Final Fantasy 10 wasn’t a radical gameplay evolution but made revolutionary changes to the presentation of the series. For the first time, it was possible to explore fully 3D environments, and key cutscenes featured both detailed real-time character models and the introduction of full voice acting, drawing you into the story.

  • Best RPG Games

6. God Of War

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Sony Santa Monica
Released: 2005

Our first introduction to Kratos has held up very well over time, and feels especially good now that the series has moved on from its original Greek mythology theme “Small” is not a word in the vocabulary of this classic brawler – absolutely everything is dialed up to eleven, from the detail of the scenery and dramatic musical score to the size of the bosses and of course the level of violence on display. Kratos will pluck the wings from smaller enemies and plunge the Blades of Chaos deep into larger foes, often as part of some wonderfully choreographed QTE sequences.

  • Best Action Games

5. Silent Hill 2

(Image credit: Konami)

Developer: Team Silent
Released: 2001

While the original PlayStation game was great, it was Silent Hill 2 that really established the series as a major name in survival horror. Instead of revisiting the first game’s cast, new protagonist James visits the town after receiving a letter from his wife – who died three years prior to the start of the game. Pyramid Head is rightly recognized as one of gaming’s most iconic monsters, but what really sets Konami’s sequel apart from other games in the genre is that it focuses on psychological horror rather than gore, and tackles some pretty taboo themes in ways that videogames rarely approach.

4.

Resident Evil 4

(Image credit: Capcom)

Developer: Capcom
Released: 2005

After years of tank controls and fixed camera angles, the Resident Evil series desperately needed some fresh ideas, and Capcom delivered them at just the right time. That started with getting rid of the zombies – Los Ganados were clever, cooperative and they could even use weapons. Worse yet, the over-the-shoulder perspective meant that you were much closer to the action. The game was a disgusting treat to behold, and the action-packed QTE scenes meant that you could never entirely relax. The switch to a more action-oriented approach to the series was a huge success and influenced countless other games.

  • Best Horror Games

3. Shadow Of The Colossus

(Image credit: Sony)

Developer: Team Ico
Released: 2005

Few games can ever really be described as solemn, but those of you that have experienced this legendary game will know why we use it here. Taking down the majestic giants of Shadow Of The Colossus is a task that never feels quite right, as satisfying as it can be to work out how to do it, and that mood is frequently reinforced with periods of silence and the ever-present desaturated color palette. The PS2 often struggles to keep itself together while running this, so you may wish to look at the PS3 remaster and PS4 remake, but the impact here is undeniable.

  • Best Adventure Games

2. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

(Image credit: Konami)

Developer: Konami
Released: 2004

After annoying some players by making Raiden the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 2, this sequel set things right by shifting to the Sixties and following the more outwardly familiar character Naked Snake. Like the previous games in the series, Metal Gear Solid 3 emphasizes stealth over combat and is packed with clever touches – you can let a boss literally die of old age – but differentiated itself by placing a heavier emphasis on survival, as you have to manage Snake’s hunger and tend to injuries. The later Subsistence edition is improved with full camera control and a range of extras.

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

(Image credit: Rockstar)

Developer: Rockstar North
Released: 2004

Having dominated the open-world scene since Grand Theft Auto 3 took the series into 3D, San Andreas felt like a victory lap for Rockstar North. The early Nineties setting and fictional state of San Andreas (comprised of takes on Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas) was the ideal backdrop for a tale of corrupt cops and gang warfare. The game was a technical triumph too, with an enormous map, new gang warfare features, and extensive customization. Though it was recalled over the unused Hot Coffee minigame, San Andreas sold 17.33 million copies and is the console’s best-selling game.

Top 30 Best Multiplayer & Co-Op PS2 Games (Ranked) – FandomSpot

Sony’s PlayStation 2 has a massive library of great games. Including some of those unique and experimental ones that were so common in the sixth generation of consoles.

Among them you can find some memorable couch-locked multiplayer experiences of the decade.

Sure, we have some pretty amazing online multiplayer experiences nowadays.

Huge 100-player battle arenas bringing in people from all corners of the world, all fighting to achieve the epic Victory Royale… and yet at times, it can feel as if you’re just shooting at a bunch of bots.

Nothing beats having your friends in the same room, DualShocks in hand, duking it out on a fighter or trying to out-play each-other while practicing the subtle form of subterfuge that it peeking at your opponent’s screen.

So why don’t we go back?

Go plug your dusty PS2 into your miraculously functional CRT TV and join me as we go through the most amazing multiplayer games on the console.

Fighters, shooters, puzzles… there’s something here for everyone, and their friends.

30. Culdcept

I like bringing obscure high-quality games to the forefront when given the chance, so let’s start the list with Monopoly and Hearthstone’s secret love child – Culdcept.

On the surface, this 4-player board game seems pretty simple.

Your goal is to make your way across the board capturing territory and defending it with magical beasts you acquire in the form of cards. And others will follow suit on their turns, trying to undo your hard work until only one is victorious.

It’s perfect for those who find stuff like Mario Party a tad childish or “too easy”.

Not only does the game have surprising complexity, but it’ll take the same commitment and time to finish that you’d expect from a round of Risk.

Game night!

 

29. Adventures of Cookie & Cream

On the surface this may look like a weird entry, but one mustn’t be scared of new experiences.

This quirky Co-Op platformer stars two colorful bunnies, Cookie and Cream, as they make their way through several treacherous levels that’ll require some quick thinking on your part to clear.

The graphics are meh, and that bizarre art direction seems focused solely on marketing to children.

But its gameplay remains engaging to the very end.

This comes as no surprise considering it was developed by From Software, the studio behind Dark Souls.

Even if you’re not entirely convinced, it warrants a playthrough. And it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon to clear.

 

28. Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle

There are many wrestling games available on the PS2.

But none of them have the personality and bizarre humor of Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle.

And it’s easy to see why!

The source material isn’t only hilarious, but engaging and full of unique characters that(in their weirdness) still manage to resonate with the audience.

This translates pretty well to the game – plus it’s very nice to pull off each character’s incredibly badass super-moves.

You could also play this on the GameCube, but Bandai put considerably more characters into the PS2 version so this one is a win for Sony.

 

27. Alien Hominid

I’ve always thought that Co-Op games benefit from simplicity.

Which is why Alien Hominid is so fun to play with a friend.

The game plays a lot like the classic Metal Slug, which almost guarantees it to be good.

Except the graphics look like they belong on a flash game… because this was a Newgrounds game before it got picked up for console releases.

Because of this, it’s understandable that it doesn’t have the most sophisticated gameplay.

Still, that doesn’t take away from the fun at all. Plus it’s so short you won’t even get a chance to grow tired of it.

 

26. Buzz! The Mega Quiz

If you’re having more than a couple of friends over for drinks and all you have at your disposal for entertainment is a PS2, you probably can’t do better than Buzz! The Mega Quiz.

This trivia game starts out friendly-enough, and you can succeed with simple miscellaneous knowledge – but as the game progresses, you’ll notice that wanting to win is a skill in and of itself… and the less-studied among the group will find a way to balance things out.

My advice?

Come up with some rules to turn this into a drinking game. So you’ll all catch a buzz by playing Buzz!

 

25. Half-Life

Valve’s iconic FPS won’t ever get a third installment, but it did get a port to the PS2 thanks to developer Gearbox.

The game is generally known for its fantastic single-player and memorable story following Gordon Freeman, but it’s far from the only thing it has to offer.

Not only are the head-to-head competitive multiplayer modes great, but it features the fantastic Decay mode which puts you and a friend on a Co-Op campaign starring two female researchers from Black Mesa, parallel to the main story.

Worth a try if you’ve never touched the game before.

 

24. Dokapon Kingdom

Dokapon Kingdom can be understood as “RPG Mario Party”, but that would be understating the danger this game poses to your interpersonal relationships.

You see, the game’s objective is to be the richest player by the end of the game.

To achieve this you’ll choose one of three classes, find equipment, clear dungeons, and most importantly you’ll completely undermine everyone else by casting debuffs and other impediments on them.

It’s not called “The Friendship Destroyer” for nothing.

Mario Party is small fry in comparison.

To balance things out, this board-RPG features beautiful graphics and cutesy characters to somewhat veil the backstabbing nature of the game.

 

23. Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Watching Marvel heroes duking it out against characters from many Capcom franchises never gets old, and it’s just as good on the PS2 as it is on current consoles.

It brings together the heroes of Western culture and those of Eastern origin through a common love of over-the-top combos and special attacks.

It’s a match made in heaven!

While criminally unrealistic considering these characters are in completely different power-level tiers, this game is acceptably balanced for a competitive experience.

And its pace and combo-system are easier to get into than something like Guilty Gear.

 

22. Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu’s Dororo

This wonderful action-adventure game developed by SEGA follows a Japanese samurai with a re-constructed artificial body on a quest to track down 48 demons and take his body parts back from the ghouls.

While the game is based on Osamu Tezuka’s famous Dororo manga, you’ll only get to play as the sly rogue by plugging in a second controller for Co-Op mode.

The thief can’t possibly compare to the protagonist in terms of destructive power, but he’ll contribute to the fighting in his own way.

Play this with anyone who can appreciate the beautiful art direction, deep story, and collectible-hunting.

 

21. Def Jam: Fight for NY

EA’s Def Jam is one of the most unique and frankly absurd franchises out there.

And its ridiculous concept is exactly what makes it so good to spend an afternoon going at it with your peeps.

For those of you not in the know, Def Jam: Fight for NY is a beat-’em-up starring none other than hip-hop superstars like Flavor Flav, Fat Joe and even Busta Rhymes.

As expected, the game has a stellar soundtrack with many licensed songs in the hip-hop genre. And the combat system is surprisingly engaging.

It’s a pleasure seeing the developers taking the time to make a game with such an obvious selling point actually good.

 

20. Red Faction II

Playing as a rebel militia in a Mars colony is an aesthetic that’s hard to beat.

And it’s also the perfect setting for a friendly shootout with your chums.

While Red Faction II is a very good shooter to play through alone, it truly shines when it comes to the multiplayer arena.

Both because of its fluidity and its awesome weapons such as the fan-favorite Magnetic Rail Driver, which makes a return from the first installment.

There’s nothing quite like living the anti-government extremist fantasy to let all the political unrest out of your spirit so you can do your taxes in peace.

 

19. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus

It’s intense, it’s ridiculously fast-paced, and nigh-impossible to understand for newcomers – yes I’m talking about Guilty Gear.

The Guilty Gear franchise has garnered a cult following over the years.

It’s difficult to determine whether the incomprehensibly complex plot has helped or hampered its progress, but it’s definitely one of its main features.

Regardless, this solid 2D fighter from Arc System Works doesn’t need you to get the plot to enjoy it’s heavy-metal-meets-anime aesthetic and interesting characters.

It’s a must-play if you have a group of friends who’re serious about button mashing. And if you like this one it’s worth keeping up with any future games from the franchise.

 

18. Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium

If you’re a fan of flashy combat then you can’t pass up a chance to play Capcom vs. SNK 2.

Even though it’s a bit less varied in character styles than something like Marvel vs. 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. To the point where you’ll feel like you’re playing MUGEN on your PC.

Still, that’s far from an issue once you’re in the heat of battle.

And you’re liable to share some laughs with friends over the dissimilarities.

 

17. Ratchet: Deadlocked

The fourth entry in the Ratchet & Clank franchise (even though it’s missing Clank) is simply an amazing, lighthearted, and quirky third-person shooter.

It’s a game that anyone with a taste for blowing stuff up can enjoy.

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.

 

16. Bloody Roar 3

Bloody Roar has always been my favorite old-school fighter franchise ever since I played the first installment on the original PlayStation.

And I was very pleased with its first release on the sixth console generation.

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.

Great, considering common ground is so scarce these days.

 

15. SSX 3

After the critical success that was SSX Tricky, beloved for its wacky style and intense gameplay, expectations were high for the sequel.

EA Canada delivered.

The game took what made the amazing, twisting racing tracks of Tricky so good and perfected it.

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.

If you’re looking for a snowboarding experience on the PS2, you can’t go better than SSX 3.

And this goes double if you’re playing with friends.

 

14. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3

Few things are as exciting for a fan of Dragon Ball Z than the Budokai games.

With over 40 characters to choose from, including new additions such as Omega Shenron and the Legendary Saiyan Broly, the third installment in Bandai’s series of DBZ-simulators is ideal for any group of enthusiasts in need of some fun.

Before Budokai Tenkaichi came out on the Wii, you simply couldn’t get a Dragon Ball Z game that was truer to the show than Budokai 3.

 

13. Twisted Metal: Black

Deep in our hearts, we all want to take part in a destruction derby.

Since doing so in real life is complicated and potentially dangerous to our health, Sony’s Twisted Metal franchise is the next best thing.

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 on the good days?

You can just have fun blowing stuff up with your bestie in the game’s Co-Op campaign!

 

12. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance

That said, some of us prefer the more calculated and orderly mayhem of isometric hack’n’slash games such as Diablo or, in this case, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance.

I mention Diablo because like so many other games in the genre, Baldur’s Gate: DA plays almost identically to the former.

Which is in no way a bad thing.

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.

 

11. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Personally I’m a Metal Gear Solid man through and through.

Still, there’s one thing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory does better than any Metal Gear game – it has a split-screen Co-Op mode, and it’s fantastic.

That may sound completely chaotic for a stealth game.

But that’s precisely where Ubisoft’s genius lies. It works!

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. Kudos to you, Ubisoft.

 

10. 007: Everything or Nothing

While it will never reach the relevancy and user-acclaim that GoldenEye did on the previous generation of consoles, EA’s 007: Everything or Nothing remains a very solid FPS with a great multiplayer arena – and the James Bond charm never gets old.

You could also play 007: Nightfire or 007: Agent Under Fire, but this one has considerably better graphics, and Nightfire has terrible bots.

I’d say really all of them are fantastic though(for different reasons).

 

9. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Midway’s classic fighter had a pretty mediocre run for the entirety of the PS2’s lifespan.

But the one time they dared step outside of their comfort zone, they hit it out of the park.

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks offers a stellar 3D beat-’em-up experience that’s unlike anything else in the series.

And the best part is you can play through the entirety of Liu Kang and Kung Lao’s adventure along with a friend!

 

8. Soulcalibur II

Despite there being a Soulcalibur III for the PS2, this gem of a game remains the best in the console.

And according to some, the best of the entire series.

The reason for this lies primarily in how well-balanced the game is, which in turn keeps it fun.

It also has a pretty large character roster which includes veterans like Sophitia and Nightmare, as well as the bizarre addition of Heihachi Mishima from Tekken.

It may not offer Link like in the GameCube version. But it’ll do.

 

7. Dynasty Warriors 4

The fourth installment in the long-storied Dynasty Warriors franchise featured amazing graphics and expanded gameplay features that made it into one of the most well-received by fans worldwide.

The possibility of going through the campaign’s battles along with a friend was included in the previous release, but developer Omega Force had to learn from their mistakes to make it truly great for DW4.

You may not know this, but the series is loosely based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong. Easily one of the finest literary pieces originating in China, which makes it the perfect game to play with your friends from Book Club.

I also covered some of the better games in this series if you’re looking for even more titles to check out(multiplayer or not).

 

6. Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War

Namco’s Ace Combat franchise is probably the single best aerial dogfight simulator franchise ever, and ACZ: The Belkan War is the best on the PS2.

It serves as a prequel to all other Ace Combat games. It offers an engaging story told through radio chatter and on-screen action to keep you hooked.

The gameplay, while not too different from previous games, is incredibly polished and fluid as well.

Overall the game is a pleasure to play. And it’s even better when you go through the campaign in Co-Op.

 

5. Contra: Shattered Soldier

Who doesn’t know Contra?

Not only is Konami’s quintessential shoot-’em-up an iconic piece of gaming history, but a very fun and intense game in most of its releases, Shattered Soldier included.

I mean yes, it’s a really hard game – but isn’t it challenge what we seek in videogames?

Plus it’s said that friendships only grow stronger when facing hardship together.

So stop wasting time, grab a friend, and get this badass diesel-fueled adventure rolling!

 

4. Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest

Despite Baldur’s Gate being the most well-known hack’n’slash RPG by Snowblind Studios thanks to its frankly better story, Champions of Norrath remains the better game.

And I feel this way in terms of gameplay, class variety, and graphics.

Back in the PS2 era this game was more often than not the only thing my geeky friends and I ever wanted to play.

Partly because of its narrative connection to EverQuest, which is one of the most famous and influential MMORPGs of the decade.

It’s fast-paced and very punishing at times, but once you and your squad get the hang of things they’re going to need heavy machinery to pry the DualShock from your addicted hands.

 

3. Rock Band 2

We can’t all make it past the “garage band” stage in our musical career.

Hell, most of us can’t even get to that point to begin with!

That’s where Rock Band 2 comes in with its still-incredible instrument variety that’ll let you and your friends live the rocker lifestyle from the comfort of your living room.

Guitars, drums, vocals – this has it all!

You really haven’t had a truly tight squad until you’ve jammed together in RB2 at least once, so what are you waiting for?

 

2. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

No matter what sixth-gen console we’re talking about, it’s impossible not to mention Free Radical’s TimeSplitters franchise, whether it’s TS2 or Future Perfect.

With an expansive wealth of game modes, wacky characters, many weapons to choose from in competitive multiplayer, not to mention an amazing Co-Op experience, this game will keep you and your chums hooked to the console for hours.

Also make sure not to skip playing Virus mode – it’s the PS2 equivalent of Call of Duty: Zombies or GoW’s Horde mode, and it descends into chaos just as quickly.

 

1. Star Wars Battlefront II

Wasn’t it obvious?

Before the veritable disaster that were the last couple of entries in the franchise after it was acquired by EA, Star Wars Battlefront II was the measuring stick for large-scale shooters.

It puts players right in the middle of many huge battles that shaped Star Wars history. Such as the battle of Hoth, as one of the many varied and fun-to-play classes.

Space battles are also one of the game’s most exciting features that allow you to board and pilot iconic ships in large-scale skirmishes.

Talk about fan service.

It’s not only the best multiplayer shooter on the PS2, but probably one of the best in the history of gaming. And it might even be the best Star Wars game to date.

  • Release date: December 22, 2005
  • Developer: Square Enix PDD 1
  • Publishers: Square Enix, Disney Interactive
  • Genre: Action RPG

A colorful action RPG created by Disney Interactive and Squaresoft. Set in the recognizable worlds of Walt Disney (Mulan, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, and many more), the game has never been out of date, thanks to luscious graphics and addictive gameplay. But don’t let Kingdom Hearts 2 fool players with its cartoonish appearance — the game is actually quite difficult, and some boss fights can make you seriously sweat.

19 Tekken 5

19th place — Tekken 5

  • Release date: February 24, 2005
  • Developer: Namco
  • Publisher: Namco
  • Genre: Fighting

The fifth part of the popular fighting game is considered by fans to be almost the best in the series, almost on a par with the legendary Tekken 3. It has a lot of classic and a few new characters, good graphics, improved combat mechanics, as well as a «Story» mode that is as similar to the old one as possible good arcade mode. Tekken 5 was well received by the players and the press — much better than the unsuccessful fourth and more or less good sixth.

18 Gran Turismo 4

18th place — Gran Turismo 4

  • Release date: December 28, 2004
  • Developer: Polyphony Digital
  • Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Genre: Driving simulator

This car simulator was developed under the influence of real driving experience — that’s why here you can observe a very realistic behavior of cars on the track. Needless to say, the physical model of the car determines from 500 to 700 parameters. Gran Turismo 4 received the highest ratings from the press, and also sold a crazy circulation of 11 million copies worldwide.

17 Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

17th place — Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

  • Developer: Level-5
  • Publisher: Square Enix
  • Genre: JRPG

An epic and mega long JRPG in its most classic form. Here is the standard plot about saving the kingdom, and random fights with opponents, and the four main characters who take turns in battles.

This is also facilitated by the abundance of all kinds of secrets, the search and crafting of unique weapons, an interesting system, as well as a huge number of various opponents and bosses that require special tactics.

16 Sly 2: Band of Thieves

16th place — Sly 2: Band of Thieves

  • Release date: September 14, 2004
  • Developer: Sucker Punch Productions
  • Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Genre: Platformer, stealth action

An excellent representative of the rare stealth platformer genre. Acting as the cunning thief Sly Cooper, the player will have to wander around the big city in order to steal valuables and break into multi-pood safes. It has become much more interesting to play compared to the first part, because a lot of different gameplay elements have appeared here, among which there was a place for mini-games and variations of a first-person shooter.

  • Release date: October 9, 2002
  • Developer: Free Radical Design
  • Publisher: Eidos Interactive

Hurricane gameplay will carry players through different time periods, such as the Wild West, gangster Chicago 1930s, 2000s Tokyo, Robot Factory of the Future and some others. TimeSplitters 2 is a truly amazing project, and it was not for nothing that it was recognized as the best shooter of all that came out on PS 2.

14 Ōkami

14th place — Ōkami

  • Issue date: April 20, 2006
  • Developer: Clover Studio
  • Publisher: Capcom
  • Genre: Action-adventure

A chic game with a lot of interesting features, which, unfortunately, went unnoticed by many and failed miserably in sales. The player takes on the role of a divine wolf on a quest to find an ancient demon. In the process of passing the player uses the magic of the «Divine Brush» — both in combat and when performing side tasks and solving puzzles. Okami uses high-quality cel-shaded graphics with celluloid animation, so the picture in the game still looks great today.

13th place — Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

  • Release date: December 3, 2001
  • Developer: Naughty Dog
  • Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Genre: Platformer

Naughty Dog’s reference platform game that came out at a time when the studio had already got its hands on the Crash Bandicoot series.

12th place — Final Fantasy X

  • Release date: July 19, 2001
  • Developer: Square
  • Publisher: Square
  • Genre: JRPG

A Japanese RPG classic. Final Fantasy X is an incredibly long JRPG, with tons of cutscenes and dialogue, slow combat, and boring random-encounters. Nevertheless, all gaming aspects here are made at the highest level, so if you want to touch the games of the series in their classic form on PS 2, then you should pay attention to the tenth part.

11 Soulcalibur II

11th place — Soulcalibur II

  • Release date: March 27, 2003
  • Developer: Namco
  • Publisher: Namco
  • Genre: Fighting

Fans still consider the second part to be the best and most developed in the series. Subsequent games have taken a step towards the entertainment of fights and vivid special effects. Soul Calibur II, on the other hand, has the perfect balance, there is not a single superfluous fighter or technique, and the local fights do not get bored even after hundreds of matches. In addition, this game has an entertaining passage mode, excellent graphics and music, many different modes and impressive bonus content.

10th place — Burnout 3: Takedown

  • Release date: September 7, 2004
  • Developer: Criterion Games
  • Publisher: Electronic Arts
  • Genre: Arcade, car simulator

You can’t exactly call this game a car simulator, but rather explosive arcade racing at exorbitant speeds. Critics and users were delighted with the crazy races, high-end graphics and just a whole bunch of different game modes, among which were very original ones: for example, in the “accident” mode, you had to cause maximum damage to the traffic flow by blowing up your car.

9 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

9th place — Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

  • Release date: November 5, 2003
  • Developer: Tecmo
  • Publisher: Tecmo
  • Genre: Survival horror

The second part is the scariest of the entire Fatal Frame trilogy on PlayStation 2. The intimidating and very hardcore gameplay is not for everyone, and several completely different endings, bonuses and additional modes serve as a great incentive to replay Crimson Butterfly one more time. another.

  • Release date: March 18, 2004
  • Developer: Namco
  • Publisher: Namco
  • Genre: Arcade

A surreal Japanese game with innovative gameplay that has almost no analogues (except other games of this unique series, but the game called Wonderful End of the World). In Katamari Damacy, the main goal in each level is to roll a big ball out of the surrounding objects. At first, it can be all sorts of small things — pens, crumpled paper, coins, matches, etc. At later stages, solid-sized objects will already stick to the katamari ball — cars, houses, stadiums, skyscrapers and even clouds. Such an original gameplay does not let you get bored during the passage, and the cooperative mode for two players increases the amount of fun received several times.

7 Devil May Cry

7th place — Devil May Cry

  • Release date: August 23, 2001
  • Developer: Capcom
  • Publisher: Capcom
  • Genre: Action-adventure, slasher

Originally this stylish slasher was supposed to look like another clone of the classic Resident Evil games with a fixed camera. But in the end, the developers changed course somewhat, and as a result, one of the best games for the PlayStation 2 came out — spectacular, complex, with a lot of puzzles, a moderately exciting storyline and an incredibly charismatic protagonist.

6 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

6th place — Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

  • Release date: August 23, 2001
  • Developer: Rockstar North
  • Publisher: Capcom
  • Genre: Third person shooter, open world, action

When San Andreas was only released on the PlayStation 2, PC players were biting their elbows with envy. Of course, after some time this magnificent game still honored personal computers with its presence. To this day, however, GTA: SA remains one of the best titles for PS 2, and those who are curious to see what it looked like on consoles are highly recommended to try the game. The only thing you have to get used to is the controls, because shooting and fighting here are carried out mainly with the help of auto-aim.

5 God of War II

5th place — God of War II

  • Release date: March 13, 2007
  • Developer: SIE Santa Monica Studio
  • Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Genre: Action-adventure

The second part of the adventures of the indefatigable Kratos is not without reason considered one of the best and most beautiful games for the PlayStation 2.

And besides a great picture, the game boasts adrenaline-filled gameplay and a whole bunch of fights with various bosses from ancient Greek mythology.

4 Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

4th place — Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

  • Release date: November 17, 2004
  • Developers: KCEJ, Kojima Productions, Bluepoint Games
  • Publisher: Konami
  • Genre: Stealth action

Flawless stealth-action from Hideo Kojima, the founder of the Metal Gear series. Events will send the player during the Cold War, and the action itself will unfold in dense forests, teeming with all sorts of dangers. The gameplay is very diverse: imperceptible movements, survival, fights with ordinary adversaries, memorable boss fights, and, of course, a powerful story, coupled with cinematic cutscenes. Snake Eater has been named the best PlayStation 2 game of 2004 by many publications.

3 Silent Hill 2

3rd place — Silent Hill 2

  • Release date: September 24, 2001
  • Developer: Team Silent
  • Publisher: Konami
  • Genre: Survival horror, action-adventure

Dark horror, considered one of the best of the genre of all time. The plot here is a real work of art, and the visual part with a foggy city and a bunch of disgusting monsters is impressive to this day. Silent Hill 2 is a timeless classic that every survival horror fan (and not only) should touch. Yes, and in the game there are as many as six radically different endings, which depend on the actions of the character throughout the passage.

2 Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

2nd place — Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

  • Release date: July 13, 2006
  • Developer: Atlus
  • Publisher: Atlus
  • Genre: JRPG, simulation

Great role-playing game with many unique gameplay elements. In addition to the standard JRPG-fights with monsters and bosses, in Persona 3 the player will have to attend school, take exams and figure out how to spend their leisure time in the evenings — all this will affect the characteristics of the character. Here is the original system of cards with summoned creatures that can be crossed and as a result get new creatures. Persona 4 was also released on the PlayStation 2, which turned out to be even better than its predecessor. But Persona 3 has a significant advantage compared to the fourth part: loyal fans have perfectly translated it into Russian.

1 Shadow of the Colossus

1st place — Shadow of the Colossus

  • Release date: October 18, 2005
  • Developer: Team Ico
  • Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Genre: Action-adventure, puzzle

The greatest game ever, a masterpiece of all time that only gets better with time. The gameplay consists of only fights with bosses, which, however, still need to be somehow found in the rather rather big expanses of the game world. The fights themselves are real puzzles with platforming, running around and looking for vulnerabilities. The dimensions of some bosses are truly colossal, and you really need to climb them for a long time and painstakingly in order to stick the sword in the Achilles’ heel. And by the way, the game has a bewitching atmosphere of some doomed world, and the enchanting music will forever remain in your memory.
