IGN's top 25 PS2 games ever

[Stilgar]

[link deleted]

A pretty good list all told, but I have to get them a real WTF at a few things.

GTA 3 in the top few games, hell yeah, but San Andreas, too? I personally lost interest in the series with San Andreas. Vice City was better in my eyes, and it's nowhere on the list.

FFX no. 3, but FFXII not even on the list? WTF.

God of War in the top spot... undeserved, IMO. Top 10 definitely, though.

Devil May Cry not on the list? WTF. 3 is in there, though.

What do you all think?

[BRP]

Let it be said by me now:

Ranked countdowns suck. Almost as bad as videogame scores that involve stats like 8.8.

If they just listed 25 best games ever for the PS2, it would make more sense. They could include the best 1 or 2 games for each genre, and then some. How exactly do you rate the best RPG game over the best action game or vice-versa? You can't.

MGS3 no.1 plz

It was nice to see Fumito Ueda's two games very high on the list and Tetsuya Mizuguchi getting a nod as well.

I agree with no FF12. I hate that game.

Before you say "well that's YOUR opinion", it was obviously the opinion of the people that ranked those games as well.

[Calais~]

I am both shocked and delighted that Suikoden 3 is on that list.

VF4 and FFX aren't bad games overall, but IMO they're horribly overrated. I wouldn't play either again if I was paid.

How did God Of War get spot #1

How did God Of War get spot #1

Yeah GOW2 should be there instead.

Yeah GOW2 should be there instead.

GoW should have only been in the top 10. I think there oculd have been better games that went in there. But like they sad in the interview there are thousands of games for them to look at.

Of course we're all free to hate whatever games we like, but there's a point where a game's quality level becomes objectively remarkable, and FFXII is such a game, and I think 25 games is a big enough number to encompass both it and every PS2 game 'better' than it... I think 10 or less would be, myself.

Besides, FFX is linear to a fault.

twisted metal black? wtf, no way. so many games that arent even worth playing on that list. most of that list is somethin looking like it was made in 2005.

[Exoduso]

MGS3 should've been #1, and FFX is as high as it is because it was revolutionary for when it came out (nobody can deny the amazing graphic remodeling the FF series has done going from FF9 to FFX.)

[Deuce]

What I want to know is why Socom II or I isn't on that list. Both games by far are better then the games from 20-25.

[Eaglestrike]

I could never get far in Suikoden 3. I loved 1 and 2 but I don't think I ever made it to a characters chapter 3 in it. So /doze.

No FFXII? FFX #3? Seriously wtf. FFXII is the first time I've begun to consider a game better than FF7 imo.

[Metah]

Why is Megaman X8 not on this list? That game is AMAZING

[Koyuki]

Also the amount of gay Tidus brought to FFX

[Zigma]

god of war was ground breaking man and imho deserves the #1 spot. Just when everyone though they saw it all as far as graphics, sound, control and story on they PS2, along comes God Of War and just blows everyone out the fucking water.

I wish FFX-2 never existed... cus now it's obvious that Shuyin > Tidus, so...

[Correction]

That list is missing sports titles.

Even if you discount sports titles, SSX deserved a mention.

But yeah lolign.
