    A look at the the 100 lowest rated PS2 games - as ranked by MetaCritic.
    This is a bit of an odd collection; while there are indeed some games that will never rise above "cheaply/quickly made product" status - there are a few titles that I personally think don't deserve to be on this bottom 100.
    If you are not familiar with Metacritic, it creates a Metascore for a game by averaging out the scores of several published reviews of said game. So, think of it as a "general reception" of a game. It's also important to note that MetaCritic won't rank a game if it does not have a minimum number of published reviews, which omits a large number of late-life released PS2 titles (and lots of shovelware).

Because they're some of my favorites. That's why i don't always agree with Metacritic. But still you put great effort on this list Gary. Great job ❤❤❤

    This is why we do not have many different genre of video games in 2024 or at least a wide array of titles such as these average to semi-decent video games--- dev's and QA groups see these kind of subjective lists and don't want to make the next Parapa the Rapper or the Getaway for example. Metacritic almost single handedly destroyed the niche video game market; people nowadays would rather watch TV, stream XXX material on the web, read a science-fiction novel or simply unplug by spending time outdoors.

      Looking at the other comments here, there appear to be quite a few of you DragonBall Z Infinite World fans who are wondering why it's on this list.
      Well, looking at the MetaCritic page www.metacritic.com/game/dragon-ball-z-infinite-world/ we can see several excerpts:
      GameDaily: (who scored it 40): If the lame "fetch" quests don't bore you, the ridiculously bad mini-games will. Buy one of the earlier releases (for half the price, if not cheaper) and leave this World behind.
      IGN (who scored it 35) - "The sound's repetitive, the graphics are shoddy, and the gameplay isn't fun. Do not play Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World."
      Game Revolution (who scored it 25): "There’s very little reason to pick up Dragonball Z: Infinite World. Even Dragonball fans will likely find that the only allure is the fighting, but if that’s the case, they’re better off popping back in Budokai 3 or anything that doesn’t force them to do side-chores."

And the mini games in the world map are great side quests and challenges and they're not something u have to do like training mini games and open area platforming time trails

      IGN gave it a score of 40. A part of their review: "The inability to drift still sucks, but now, there's no reason to attempt to legitimately progress through the game since you can avoid these races entirely, and rivals aren't challenging either."
      G4 TV gave it a score of 20: "Basically, Drift 2 feels like a repackaging of the original Drift, with almost nothing done to improve on the myriad problems of the prequel."
      GameSpot gave it a 52: "Tedious gameplay, poor vehicle handling, and an unfriendly interface are just a few reasons why you should leave this game in the bargain bin."
