  • **CORRECTION: The correct Metacritic score for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater should be 91 **
    The top 100 PS2 games - according to gaming site IGN (ca.ign.com/lists/ps2-games)
    I am personally not a fan of top 100 lists; they are waaaay to subjective and fanboy wars always break out. However, after my first "100 PS2 Games In 10 Minutes" video received about 3000 comments asking for God of War / Grand Theft Auto SA, etc, I created this one.
    Having said that, the games on this list are generally pretty solid, if a little pedestrian.
    Yes, a few of these clips are recycled from my other video ( • 100 Random PS2 Games I... ). If you have not seen it already, I recommend you watch it to catch a glimpse of some lesser known PS2 classics.

      blame their bosses not the developer... most game's have directors, producers, project managers... it's becoming a common trend to attack game developers online when a bad game from THEIR COMPANY drops. The common developer is just clocking in and following orders, not intentionally putting out sub par work to make a quick buck.

    Good old days, when consoles were good. No day one patch, no forced online games, no remakes/remasters of shitty games and if you wanted to play with a friend, you just needed a second controller no "Profile" for every single shit. I can't even remember a single game for the playstation 2, that came out unfinished or unpolished, like the garbage we get now for almost every new release, no matter if it's Pc or consoles, it's a shame.

    Winning eleven.
    Tekken 5
    Dragon Ball ZBT
    Golden Eye'
    Golden compass
    Narnia
    Cricket 05
    Def Jam Fight for NY.

    I agree with Shadows of the Colossus in first place, but 43rd place for Bully? Really? That game deserves at least a top ten. Onimusha 3 as well.

      Thanks for this video,
      The fact that Shadow of the Colossus was placed at number 1 makes me Happy,
      But for anyone who hasn't ever seen something that has made them question the sanity of IGN (unlikely)
      Enter the Matrix is nowhere to be found on this list. It should be alongside Hot Pursuit 2, Mercenaries, Dmc3, the Tony Hawk's, etc.
      So many of the games on this list look freaking horribly aged, dorky, bulky in movement and just not fleshed out, like they were even from some form of the Ps2 a generation before the Ps2!
      If you don't have Enter the Matrix on your Ps2 list, that's crazy! One of the best game ever made.
      And yeah also wtf no Budokai 3 or mention of any Budokai at all? Lol get real so much hot garbage on this list. IGN must take a lot of bribes and not care about integrity
      Thanks again for the content!

    i may not be a old school gamer but to be honest it gets me weirdly nostalgic. I was born in an area where online is prominent (so basically 2005) but i always had this fascination for consoles of old, they have this enchanting feeling i cant really describe but i love.even though so many games are looking better and playing better i always seem to prefer the older titles at times, to be clear there is nothing wrong with a online multiplayer experience but i feel if you need online to enjoy the whole experience its not really worth it unlike a single player game. but hey my opinion is my opinion, and if anyone still reads this comment section sorry for bad grammar and punctuation and give it a dislike or something

      I was born in 1993 so I grew up with the PS1 and PS2 in my childhood. Today i bought a PS2 (I had no interest in buying a modern console) and can't wait to get playing it again. I completely agree that there is something cool about being 'offline' and with slightly worse graphics etc. I feel like the game designers gave it their all cos it was such a huge (and relatively new) and exciting market back then.
