This wasn’t just an early PS2 racer, this was the best racing game on the market at the time, on any platform. In 2001 Gran Turismo 3 was acclaimed as the first must-have on the PS2, and it’s easy to see why. On top of all that, the stealth and storyline were second to none. At the time, this is what you showed to people to illustrate how cinematic and film-like video games had the potential to be. At the time this game was revolutionary in terms of visuals and storytelling in video games, and cemented Metal Gear Solid as a flagship franchise for video games as a medium. Regardless of which version of Metal Gear Solid 2 you play on PS2, you’re in for an incredible ride. The Scarface-inspired world is still incredibly memorable, and thanks to the litany of issues plaguing the GTA remasters, you’re still best off playing this game on PS2. Grand Theft Auto III was revolutionary but rough, and when Vice City rolled around it really felt like the 3D GTA formula was cemented for years to come.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater defined a generation. Sorry Resident Evil 4, we’ll see you on the best Gamecube games list. Narrowing the list down to just ten is tough, but to help we’ve limited this list to only one games per series, and have cut down on ports. We’ve already named four classics (or cult classic in God Hand‘s case), and the PS2 is home to dozens more. Katamari Damacy, anyone? What about God Hand? Devil May Cry? Monster Hunter? You see the point.
It sold incredibly well thanks to its affordable price and bundled DVD player, and it is often regarded as one of the last bastions of weird and wonderful Japanese games, with dozens of new franchises with unique control systems getting their start on PS2. The PlayStation 2 is one of the best games consoles of all time.
