PS2 games that received a modern remake or remaster that did not add a significant amount of new content to the base game were still considered to be eligible for this list.

Games that received spiritual sequels or spiritual spin-offs were still considered eligible for this list, though we tried to focus on games that have never received any kind of notable follow-up.

That said, we tried to focus on true PS2 exclusives, games initially released as PS2 exclusives, or titles that are generally associated with the PS2 (for whatever reason).

Any game released for the PS2 was considered eligible for this list.

Call it nostalgia or wishful thinking, but it’s just a bit too easy to dream of what modern versions of some long-ignored PS2 games might look like.īefore we dive into this list, though, here are a few of the rules we used to determine the selection process: At a time of yearly sequels and live-service games, the PS2’s collection of truly unique titles looks better than ever.

While it’s foolish to think that every PS2 game that was at least interesting enough to deserve a sequel would eventually get one, it’s sometimes tough to look at the PS2’s library and not wonder what could have been. While many of the PS2’s best games have thankfully gone on to enjoy numerous sequels, remakes, and/or remasters, some of the projects that helped make the PS2’s library as diverse as it was have since been forgotten by too many people. Its really late and I'm beat.If the PlayStation 2’s library of games wasn’t the greatest ever assembled for a single console, it was certainly one of the most diverse. Its feels every bit as good as the original Tomb Raiders 1 and 2 did,only more fine tuned control mixed with a pretty fun combat engine.ītw-sorry about the spelling. I'll just cut and paste them over to the Galleon thread later today I guess.īottom line is that for exploration and platforming this game delivers quite well. Hmm-looks like I don't need to really do an impression of the game,I nailed my thoughts perfectly here.

Another plus in this game is that if you explore your surrounding areas youre rewarded with amo,health,and better swords to use later as the game progresses so those battles are dependant on your exploration skills here. It goes well when you see a cinematic and realize that around harder to reach areas you've got villains waiting for you,so the combat is layed out well and at just the right intervals in the game. The combat engine that involves guns,hand to hand action,and sword fighting is also a nice touch to an already interesting game as it is. I guess because the control is pretty forgiving,theres no stupid delayed control that will end wth you havingto restart your area over because of an annoying death. The exporation and -platforming really do a good job of pulling you in though. Ofcourse the visuals are of Dreamcast quality,but thats forgiveable to me,because the game plays pretty well in the end. climbing over ledges,jumping,pulling outweapons in a hurry when youre in a jam are pretty easy to use as well. I'll just add that the game pretty much fixes alot of thigs that was wrong with Tomb Raider. I've got to get some sleep otherwise I'll be dead on my feet later this morning.
