I don’t understand how so many people can enjoy the Gran Turismo games. They are very insipid ;(

I have my own opinion, so there’s a few games that I would take out and a few games that I would add to the list.

* Shadow of the Colossus should be higher.
* And where the hell is We Love Katamari?
* Guitar Hero? Don’t make me laugh!
* The GTA’s should rank: Vice City > III > San Andreas

i think those GTA shouldn’t be in the list

RE4 should be at the top

Let me revise your list.

20 Madden NFL 2004 PS2 Sports Electronic Arts Tiburon 9.1

That fixes your list.

Good job on keeping the Ratchet & Clank game in there, Elmondae~

Bad job on FFX though ;_;

Why take off DQVIII though? It’s one of the best (pseudo) RPGs for the ps2.

FFX wasn’t that good of a game if you look at it. It’s flawed in several ways. The only thing it has going for it is its cut-scenes.

It might have been enjoyable, but it doesn’t rank among the top 20 best PS2 games.

RE4 and FFX are not in your list elmondae?

well, that’s your opinion and i accept that

I adored FFX, it is probably my favourite PS2 game of all ^___^

DANG MAN MY LIST WOULD BE

Suikodden V
Suikoden III

YOU CAN ALL DANCE WITH A MONKEY FOR ALL I CARE AFTER THAT

i also love ffx

after this i think ffxii will be at the first place

I NEVER LIKED FFX I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD GAME OH SNAP

The Suikoden games were good. I’d have to list them on mine as well.

I think Resident Evil 4, FFX, Dragon Quest and Metal Gear Solid 2 all belong in there and maybe Ratchet and Clank, God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. I don’t agree that the GTA games are contenders for the top 20; maybe III but definitely not San Andreas.

i agree with you starscream

is tales of the abyss really a great game?

coz i still don’t play it

How the hell can they include SotC and not include ICO?
And not a single Katamari game?
no Silent Hill 2??
2 GT and 3 GTA games??
2 versions of a game?(mgs3)
a fucking Ratchet and Clank game?
..
Final Fantasy X??

only games i really loved from that list are Dragon Quest VIII, Shadow of the Colossus and God of War

I really enjoyed Tales of the Abyss.

God of War, while I thoroughly enjoyed the game, wasn’y a good game. It was very repetative and the controls were clunky.

RE 4 wasn’t all that great. It was fun at first, but then bored me.

Already stated my opinion on FFX.

DQ was decent, but nothing special.

And ICO, as Django mentioned, was an enjoyable game. Just didn’t impress me that much.

you obviously havent played God of War

I played God of War. I played through the game and I’m looking forward to the sequel. I really liked that game, just not one of the top 20 games for the PS2.

DMC3 should be in the list

DMC3 should be in the list

You just lost all credibility, get the fuck off my internet.

The GTA’s should rank: Vice City > III > San Andreas
You are out of your mind SA had much more of everything than VC & III. SA had customization better cars heat seeking missiles, first flyable jet planes not to mention a better story imho. Let’s compare GTA: III- young Tommy Vercetti no purpose just mindlessly doing tasks, just looking for work and somehow ends up on top. GTA:VC older Tommy Vercetti gets screwed tries to make money back for Sonny gets betrayed and fights ‘best friend’, too much of a Scarface rip-off. GTA:SA Carl Johnson comes back home to bury his mom and ends up taking back the territory that was rightfully his. In my opinion VC had some of the greatest songs but SA was a better all around game.

let me see. the list is based off the score it got on ign. that makes me wanna take it just a bit less seriously. (since the score was given upon review, the day it was reviewd/releaseed meaning it wasn’t compared to any other game after its review ever) that’s why you got a lot of the same in there and in wierd orders.

also, what is this…like only this years games? or last years?

i’m sure if they got like last decade’s ps2 games and based it off of score it’d be diffrent.

for you people that have trouble accepting lists. its ok, you don’t have to take this one seriously. its just based on scores. i bet even ign would switch things around if they decided to maybe make a "greatest of all time for ps2" or something like that.

The GTA games lost their charm after the first one. After that it became another Postal with improved graphics. Only reason Postal was better was the fact that you could piss on someone as they were being burned to death.

And GTA:SA had a lot more than the other GTA games. Tons of shitty plot, terrible dialogue which included non-stop nigger speech, and there was too much retardation dealing with the whole "Turf" aspect. It was a total shitfest on all accounts.

Out of your mind, the turf was a good add-on, I’m guessing you were killed a lot. Even if you were partial to the speech that doesn’t change the fact that GTA:SA destroyed it’s predecessors. As far as your shitfest all around ou couldn’t be anymore wrong. No other GTA: provided customization, as many vehicles, weapons, coversation between and with NPCs, not to mention the whole girlfriend thing.

If I wanted all that extra stuff you mentioned, I’d play VTM. None of that crap belongs in a GTA game. It destroyed the feel of the other GTA games since 3.

Initial D needs to be in there. Or Kaido Battle. Even Wangan Midnight. What kind of a list is this?

It’s a list of games that are good on the whole, not cool to one person alone.

Initial D is very popular throughout Asia. Not sure about Wangan Midnight, but I know it’s more popular than Kaido Battle.

Then again, I hardly played any of the games on the list, and I don’t like the GTA series.

This would be my top 20.

1. Suikoden III
2. Grandia II
3. Final Fantasy X
4. Silent Hill 3
5. We ? Katamari
6. Ratchet & Clank
7. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
8. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance
9. Katamari Domacy
10. GTA: Vice City
11. Escape From Monkey Island
12. Tenchu: Fatal Shadows
13. GTA: Liberty City Stories
14. Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi
15. Transformers
16. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliances
17. Legacy of Kain : Defiance
18. Eye Toy: Play
19. American McGee’s Alice
20. The Bard’s Tale

:p

Heh. Looks like a Top 20 games from all sorts of consoles. I see some computer games, some PS2 games…

There are a few games on that list that I wouldn’t put on mine, but for the most part that list has good games on it.

Ehm, those are all games available on PS2 ._.

Really? there are some games on that list I’ve never seen on PS2.

I don’t know of enough games to make the top 20 list but I know that these will be in it.

Tales of Rebirth
Tales of Legendia
Tales of Destiny 2
Tales of the Abyss
Valkyrie Profile : Silmeria
Ys 6 : Ark of Naphishtim
Musashiden II

Is tales of abyss even in the US yet?

Is tales of abyss even in the US yet?

I heard The Godfather game sucked. I was watching someone play it, and it didn’t look like much fun.

2. Final Fantasy XII (I have high hopes for it)

your hopes is worth it

Really? there are some games on that list I’ve never seen on PS2.

^^;; Made one mistake: There’s one game in my list that isn’t on the Ps2 (although I was pretty sure ._.): American McGee’s Alice. 😮

Is tales of abyss even in the US yet?

Not yet, but hey….that’s what imports are for. 😉

i wonder when it’ll be release

The PS2’s had a lot of trouble producing anything other than stale remakes. My top would be: FFX-2, Burnout Revenge, Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari (what’s better than japanese shit?), GTA:VC (none of that working out shit, I just wanna play the game. No RPG style shit in a shooter. And plus KChat/VCPR is hilarious.), GUN (Mabye, mabye not. Pretty fun game), and God of War.

My top would be: FFX-2, Burnout Revenge, Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari (what’s better than japanese shit?)

hmmm

everyone fails for not mentioning Beyond Good & Evil

my top 20 are (in no order)

1 final fantasy x
2 metal gear solid 2 substance
3 metal gear soild 3
4 ace combat
5 lego starwars (its so full of charm you cant hate it)
6 samurai warriors (high hopes for 2)
7 need for speed underground 2
8 need for speed most wanted
9 gran turismo 4
10 BLACK
11 gta vice city (i reckon just cause will be better)
12 starwars battlefront 2
13 dragonball z tenkaichi
14 dead or alive 2 (i like tekken series too just doa is faster action)
15 FIFA 06
16 Mercenaries
17 Ratchet & Clank
18 red faction 2
19 zone of enders 2
20 worms 3d

lots of variety i think

hmmm

qft

That was a great list I like almost every game on there except for the sports games.

take out all of the GTA( its just sensless midless juvinial vilence with no point) get rid of all the sports/tony hawk games. (if you whant to play sports then do it in the real world: cuz yes… there is this thing called outside.) then move up shadow of collossus, and add RE4, ZOE 2 and the kindom heart series.

Harsh but true.

What is this outside that you speek of?

i’m curious too

outside huh?

Oh I get it he means the whole gamers have no lives and play inside all day. Why don’t you try to stick up a store and shoot as many people as possible. The games you just gave are very realistc they allow you to do what couldn’t do in the real world, ie shoot a cop and get away with, it or run a tuochdown with TO ,or just shoot from half-court with Lebron James. They give a sense of unrealistic reality.

Jak & Daxter should be in the list, it really should

–

From that list I like:
Final Fantasy X
Dragon Quest VIII
Tony Hawk’s Underground

I want:
Resident Evil 4

Wouldn’t mind trying:
Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3
Ratchet And Clank

Dislike:
Virtua Fighter 4 ( I really think Tekken is just better. You can win bosses in tekken, cool movies at the end, cool story. I never even worked out how to get the bonus costumes on VF4 – Tekken 5 should be on there.)

I don’t want :
Grand Theft Auto
Madden NFL
World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International PS2 Sports

I don’t like sport games – and GTA doesn’t look like my kinda thing.

The rest I dont really know about or care about.

I was gonna mention zone of the enders but someone already did.
All your lists fail for not including ICO.
And Resident Evil4 should be in the top 100 maybe, but not the top 20.
It was better than all other resi evils but certainly not an outstanding game.
Finished it in one day then tired of it. No game that does that goes in the top 20, you understand me!

Finished it in one day then tired of it.

but i never get tired playing RE4

i play it more than 5 times (normal mode), but stuck at the professional mode (too hard)

well done
just funny…i want ask you how many time you scared really in game
and totally how much time get that all
about 20 top i must say:
FFXII
RE4
GRIII
DDS2
DMC3sp
ONI4DOD
SH3ftnw
KH2
Genji

i think Onimusha 3 is better than Onimusha 4

but that’s just my personal opinion

about genji, uhh i think it’s a mediocre game and nothing great about it
